AdvoSync is built to hold as little about you as it can, to work whether or not you have signal, and never to read what you write.
Everything you write or import — notes, drafts, voice recordings, photographs and documents — is written to your phone first, and the app reads it from there. That is why AdvoSync works with no signal in a court corridor. A copy is then uploaded, so that losing a phone does not mean losing the work, so that the same file opens on your other devices, and — if you have joined a chambers — so that it opens on the phones of the colleagues you share it with. The upload is what you are agreeing to when you sign in; an account that never signs in never uploads anything.
The name you appear under on cause lists and any spellings of it you add, your email address so that you can sign in again on a new phone, and — for each case you ask AdvoSync to follow — its CNR, the title you gave it, the court, the case type and number, the year it was filed, the stage it has reached and its next hearing date. Alongside that: the notes you write, the drafts you write, and the documents, recordings and photographs you attach to a case. All of it travels over an encrypted connection and is stored encrypted. If you are in a chambers, all of it is readable by the other members of that chambers; if you are not, by nobody but you.
Cause lists are public documents published by the courts. AdvoSync fetches them and matches them against your name and your CNRs. A match made on a name alone is shown to you as a suggestion and never as a fact, because acting on someone else's listing is a missed hearing.
Notes and drafts you write about a case may be privileged, and are treated as such. They are stored encrypted. They are never read by anyone at AdvoSync, never sold, never analysed to build a product, and never used to train any model. They are not sent to the eCourts services or to any other third party. Who else can open them is decided by one thing and stated plainly here: if you practise on your own, nobody but you, on your own devices. If you are in a chambers, everyone in that chambers — every case, every note, every draft, from the moment it is written, not case by case. That is what a chambers is for. It is why joining one is something you do deliberately, with a code somebody gave you, and why moving your existing matters into one is a separate step you are asked about again.
AdvoSync can be asked a question — about a provision, about an Act, or about what to do next — and the model that answers is not on your phone. What you type goes to AdvoSync's server and on to Groq, who run the model: the question, the conversation up to that point, and, when you are asking about a provision or an Act, the statutory text your phone picked out to go with it. Nothing else travels with it. Not your name, not your cases, not your notes, not your drafts, not your files. Neither AdvoSync nor Groq writes any of it down — the server keeps no question, no answer and no record that you asked, and Groq is sent it under terms that forbid keeping it or training on it. The conversation itself is kept, but only in the app on this phone. It is never uploaded, it is not readable by your chambers even if you are in one, and it goes when you delete the chat or the app. One thing to be clear about, because it is the part that is easy to miss: a general question is answered out of the model's own knowledge and not from anything on your phone, so whatever facts you type into one are what leave the device. Tell it what the question needs and no more.
AdvoSync is paid for by a subscription bought through Apple. Apple takes the payment; AdvoSync never sees a card number. What AdvoSync is told is that this account has a subscription, which plan, when it renews, and whether it is in its free trial — and that is held by RevenueCat, the service that keeps subscriptions in step across your devices, against your account id and nothing else about you. No case, note, file or name goes to RevenueCat or to Apple. Cancelling is done in your Apple ID's subscription settings, which the app links to, and access runs to the end of the period already paid for.
If you allow them, AdvoSync sends a notification when someone in your chambers marks a draft ready to read or finished. Nothing else is notified. To do it, Apple gives your phone an identifier for this app, which is stored against your account and is deleted when you sign out or delete the account; it cannot be used to identify you outside AdvoSync. The alert carries the colleague's name and the title you gave the draft, and — like any notification — that wording can be read on a locked screen, so choose draft titles accordingly. No note, no draft and no document is ever sent this way. Turning notifications off in iOS Settings stops all of it, and the app keeps working; the same information is on the chambers screen either way.
Seven services, each doing one thing. Clerk holds your sign-in credentials, so that AdvoSync never stores your password. Neon hosts the database that holds your name, your email, your cases and your notes. Vercel stores the files you upload — documents, drafts, recordings and photographs — and runs the server. The eCourts services operated by the Indian judiciary are where published cause lists are read from; they are sent a name, a case number or a court, never your notes, your files or your clients. Groq runs the model behind the assistant, and is sent exactly what the section above describes and nothing besides. Apple delivers notifications to your phone, and is sent only the identifier described above and the wording of the alert itself; Apple also takes the subscription payment. RevenueCat is told which plan this account has and when it renews, and nothing else.
For as long as you have an account. AdvoSync can delete it from inside the app — Settings → Delete account — which removes your credentials at Clerk, every row that belongs to you from the database, and every file you uploaded. That deletion is immediate and is not recoverable by us. There is one exception, and it is deliberate: work that belongs to a chambers stays with the chambers. Matters you moved into one, and anything written while you were in it, remain there after you leave or delete your account, and your name stays on them as the person who wrote them — a chambers cannot lose a client's file because somebody left. Anything you never moved in stays yours and is deleted with the rest. What is on your own phone is deleted by deleting the app.
AdvoSync is a tool for practising advocates. It is not directed at anyone under 18 and no account is knowingly created for one.
If this policy changes in a way that affects what leaves your phone, the app will say so before the change takes effect rather than quietly updating this page.
