Privacy Policy

What we collect

• Lease files you upload. Files are processed in memory or temporary storage to extract text and generate your analysis, then deleted. We do not retain the original PDF after the analysis completes.
• Lease analysis results. The structured summary we generate (key clauses, fees, red flags) is associated with your account so you can return to it. You can delete an analysis at any time from your account.
• Account information. If you sign up, we store your email address and (for Google sign-in) the basic profile fields Google returns. We do not store passwords — authentication is handled by our identity provider.
• Payment information. Subscriptions and one-time purchases are processed by Stripe. We never see or store your full card number; we only receive a token and the subscription status.
• Usage analytics. We log page views, button clicks, and product events (e.g. "lease uploaded", "analysis completed") to understand what's working. Where possible this data is associated with a random visitor ID, not your email.

What we use it for

• Generate your lease analysis and chat responses.
• Keep your account, billing, and saved analyses working.
• Improve the product (which guides get read, which features get used).
• Detect abuse and keep the service running.

We do not sell your personal information. We do not share your lease contents with advertisers.

AI processing

Lease text and chat messages are sent to third-party AI providers (OpenAI, Google, Anthropic, depending on the model serving your request) to generate the analysis and answers. These providers are contractually prohibited from using your content to train their models on our account. Don't paste anything into the chat that you wouldn't want a third-party processor to see (Social Security numbers, banking credentials, etc.).

Cookies and tracking

We use a small number of cookies and similar storage: a session cookie so you stay signed in, a visitor ID for analytics, and Google Ads conversion tracking for our own ad campaigns. We do not use third-party advertising cookies for retargeting on other sites.

How long we keep your data

• Uploaded lease files: deleted after analysis.
• Saved analyses: kept until you delete them or close your account.
• Account & billing records: kept while your account is active, then for the period required by tax and payment regulations.
• Analytics events: kept up to 24 months in aggregate.

Your rights

You can request a copy of your data, ask us to delete your account, or correct anything that's wrong at any time. Email marcusahall2005@gmail.com and we'll respond within 30 days. If you're in California, the EU, or the UK, you have additional rights under CCPA and GDPR — the same email works for those requests.

Security

Data is encrypted in transit (TLS) and at rest in our database. Access to production data is restricted to the founder and limited support tooling. We do not claim to be HIPAA-, SOC 2-, or PCI-certified — if your use case requires those, this is not the right tool.

Children

LeaseWise is not directed at children under 16 and we do not knowingly collect data from them.

Changes

If we change this policy in a meaningful way, we'll update the effective date at the top and, for material changes, notify signed-in users by email before the change takes effect.
