Privacy Notice

People’s Court is not intended for children or anyone under 18, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If you believe a person under 18 has provided personal information, contact us at contact@peoplescourt.ai.

• Account information: email and physical or mailing address, account type, display name, country or region, optional phone number, required identity information, password hashes, connected sign-in identities, roles, and sessions.
• Organization and agent information: organization, representative, formation and registration details; or agent, operator or principal, wallet, identifier, API credential identity, and authority record.
• Case information: party and notice details, claims, responses, submissions, exhibits, corrections, challenges, notices, procedural messages, decisions, appeals, and publication or redaction records.
• File metadata: information embedded in uploaded files, such as location, device, author, and creation or editing details. People’s Court does not remove it from the file.
• Quick Ruling information: the shared question, invited email address, delivery, one-time-link, reply-deadline, and reminder records, each side’s separate statement and files, the nonbinding AI opinion (two-sided, or one-sided when the recipient does not reply), request status, timestamps, each side’s payment records, and associated product records.
• Identity and consent information: authority statements, account bindings, legal-document acceptance, case consent, signatures, timestamps, content hashes, and notice-address source.
• Payment and execution information: quoted fees, payment status, chain identifiers, transaction hashes, contract and wallet addresses, and execution evidence.
• Technical information: IP address, browser or client type, request timing, device and session information, security and rate-limit events, audit logs, and machine endpoints.
• Communications: procedural and administrative messages, support and account messages, privacy requests, and integration communications.
• Connected application information: if you connect an AI assistant or other application, its name and identifier, the permissions you grant, authorization and revocation records, hashed token identifiers, and a record of which tools it used and when.

• Authenticate users and protect accounts.
• Let an AI assistant or other application you connect read your information and take the actions you authorize, and keep a record of that activity.
• Verify consent, authority, notice, and participation.
• Administer cases and preserve the Record.
• Generate summaries, transcriptions, research results, analysis, decisions, and appeal materials.
• Generate and deliver a requested Quick Ruling as a nonbinding AI opinion outside the arbitration process, including a one-sided opinion when the recipient does not reply within seven days.
• Perform human review, sign-off before service, or appellate review when provided by the Rules and agreed procedure recorded for the case. The availability of correction, additional-Award, and appeal procedures depends on that recorded procedure.
• Detect manipulation, investigate abuse, enforce Terms, and maintain an audit trail.
• Quote and verify fees, escrow events, and execution events.
• Create and maintain public versions of Awards.
• Operate, troubleshoot, evaluate, secure, and improve the service.

People’s Court operates a proprietary AI adjudication system that may use in-house models, third-party models or services, or both. Case information may be processed through those systems as described in this Notice. Exact provider and model selections, versions, prompts, weights, routing logic, source code, and nonpublic security controls are proprietary trade secrets and are not disclosed except as required by applicable law or binding order. When disclosure is legally compelled, People’s Court may seek available protective or confidential treatment.

Filings, exhibits, and related case context may be sent to model providers to generate summaries, transcriptions, research, analysis, decisions, opinions, and other case outputs.

People’s Court processes uploaded files, including any metadata they contain. The files and their metadata are made available to the other party and provided to the AI systems and any human Arbitrators that decide or review the case. Uploaded files are kept exactly as filed.

To review a file, those systems may receive processed copies of it, such as rotated, resized, or re-encoded images, rendered page images, or extracted text.

Either or both private Quick Ruling submissions may be sent to model providers to generate the requested nonbinding opinion. The other side does not receive your full statement, files, or file names, but the opinion may summarize material assertions from either side, and a one-sided opinion restates the requester’s position. The recipient sees the opinion only after paying the viewing fee. Quick Ruling inputs and results remain account service data; they do not become a case Record, Award, or precedent because a model processes them.

Model-provider retention depends on the provider, account arrangements, and configuration applicable to the request. AI assistants you connect to your account are separate services that People’s Court does not control; see Section 4.

Hosting, database, security, email, authentication, blockchain infrastructure, and other service providers process information to support the service. Provider terms and processing locations differ.

• The other party: filings and exhibits, including any metadata in uploaded files, are disclosed according to the Rules, and shared procedural messages are visible to both parties. The other party may use what it receives, including with tools of its choosing, subject to law and any confidentiality agreement or order in the case.
• Tribunal members and Arbitrators: the AI Tribunal members and any human Arbitrators assigned to a case receive its Record, as the procedure for that case provides.
• Administrators and authorized personnel: authorized personnel may access information for assignment, notice, Record maintenance, support, safety, security, and service operation.
• Service providers: providers receive information needed for their functions.
• AI assistants you connect: if you connect an assistant such as Claude or ChatGPT, it receives the case information you ask it to retrieve, and that assistant’s own terms and privacy policy govern how it handles that information. Please review its policies and settings before connecting.
• Authorities and successors: information may be disclosed when legally required or as part of a lawful financing, reorganization, sale, merger, or service transfer.

A connected assistant acts only for your account and only within the permissions you grant. We receive only what the assistant sends when it uses a People’s Court tool, such as the text of a brief you ask it to file, and not the rest of your conversation. What you submit through an assistant becomes case information like any other submission. Through the hosted assistant connector, an assistant cannot accept arbitration for you. You accept arbitration, and the exact claim or Answer being filed, yourself on People’s Court. After you do, an assistant you have connected can open the case or file that Answer for you. If you tell it to, it can also send your response to the summary of your submissions, either your confirmation or the omissions you report, so review that summary yourself before you tell it to send. Connecting an assistant, or not responding, never confirms the summary for you.

Quick Ruling information may be received by authorized personnel and service providers only as needed to provide, secure, support, or lawfully administer that service. The invited person receives the shared question, the requester’s display name, the reply deadline, and a reminder, and may view the opinion after paying the viewing fee, but does not receive the requester’s full statement or files. The requester likewise does not receive the invited person’s full statement or files. Each side’s own payment records are service data of that side.

Case filings and exhibits are not public by default. People’s Court may publish Awards and deidentify them at its discretion.

A Quick Ruling is not an Award or precedent. Quick Ruling inputs and results are not included in the public Award or precedent system and are not published through those features.

Public blockchain information is visible to anyone and may be permanent. We may record transaction information or hashes on a public blockchain but do not intentionally put filing or exhibit text on-chain. Others may still link wallet addresses and transaction patterns to people or organizations.

A Quick Ruling does not use escrow or execution and does not place its input or result on-chain.

The site uses essential cookies or equivalent session tokens for sign-in, security, and connected sign-in flows. Machine integrations use scoped headers, signatures, API credentials, or case capabilities. The service does not use third-party advertising cookies.

We retain information while reasonably needed to operate and reconstruct cases, preserve consent and audit records, protect and improve the service, resolve disputes, enforce agreements, and meet legal obligations. The retention period depends on the information type and case status. We delete or de-identify information when it is no longer needed for these purposes, unless the law, a legal hold, or an unresolved claim or dispute requires us to keep it longer. We do not attempt to re-identify de-identified information. We cannot delete public blockchain records. Some information, such as backups, may not be fully deletable right away; where information cannot be fully deleted, we take reasonable measures to stop further use of it. Keep your own copies of important records.

We keep a case’s Record available to its parties for at least 60 days after the case ends. A case ends when it is terminated without an Award, or when any correction, additional-Award, or appeal request has been decided or the time to make one has passed.

Quick Ruling inputs, results, and payment records are retained as account service data while reasonably needed to provide and support the service, document the transaction, prevent abuse, resolve disputes, enforce agreements, and meet legal obligations. They are not retained as another party’s case Record, a public Award, or precedent. This service data includes invited addresses, delivery status, reply-deadline and reminder records, capability-token hashes, separate side submissions, and both sides’ payment records.

We use administrative, technical, and procedural safeguards designed to protect information, including access controls, encrypted transmission, authentication safeguards, and security monitoring. No system is perfectly secure.

You may ask to access, correct, or delete account information. A request may be limited by identity verification, case-record obligations, another party’s rights, security needs, legal requirements, and public-blockchain limits.

You can disconnect an AI assistant or other application at any time on the Applications and authority page in your account. Disconnecting stops its future access. It does not delete case information, and it does not remove information the assistant’s provider already received. Ask that provider directly if you want it deleted.

Quick Ruling inputs, results, and payment records are account service information covered by these access, correction, and deletion requests. A request may still be limited by identity verification, security, transaction records we must retain, or other legal requirements, but not merely because the information was used for a Quick Ruling. This covers the recipient’s payment records as well as the requester’s.

Privacy questions and requests may be sent to contact@peoplescourt.ai. We may ask for information needed to verify the request and will record its receipt, status, response, and disposition.

We may update this notice prospectively. Material changes will be posted with a new effective date and presented for acknowledgment when required. A change does not alter the Rules governing a pending case.
