Especially about privacy — your contract contains sensitive information and you deserve a straight answer about where it goes.
🔒Privacy & Security
🔒 Most asked privacy question
Here's exactly what happens depending on how you submit:
1. PDF upload → your PDF is sent securely to our server, text is extracted, then the file is immediately discarded — it is never stored
2. Camera photo → Tesseract.js reads the text on your device — the photo never leaves
3. Only the extracted text is sent to the AI for analysis
In all cases, your actual document is never stored anywhere. Only the plain text content is transmitted for analysis.
The extracted text is sent to Anthropic's Claude API for analysis. Anthropic has a strict policy of never storing or training AI models on data sent through their API. Your contract text is processed in memory and discarded immediately after your result is returned — it is not saved to any database, log, or storage system.
No. Anthropic's API terms explicitly prohibit using API-submitted data for model training. This is one of the key reasons we chose Claude over other AI providers — their no-training-on-API-data policy directly supports our privacy-first positioning.
We store nothing. No database, no logs, no user accounts. Your contract text is processed entirely in memory and discarded when your session ends. We don't even know you visited — beyond anonymous analytics data like page views that contains no contract content whatsoever.
Yes. Your document is never stored and Anthropic does not retain API data, so there is no meaningful privacy risk beyond what exists when you type text into any HTTPS website. We'd still recommend using common sense — don't paste highly classified government documents — but for leases, NDAs, freelance contracts, and job offers, this tool is safe to use.
⚙️How It Works
Great question. You could paste your contract into ChatGPT, but you'd need to know the right questions to ask.
What's In My Contract already knows:
• What a tenant should watch out for in a lease
• What a freelancer should flag in an NDA
• What a job seeker should question in a non-compete
• What red flags appear in Terms of Service
And it returns a structured verdict — SAFE, REVIEW, or DANGER — with specific clauses flagged by severity. Not a generic summary. A decision you can act on.
Currently: Lease / Rental agreements, Freelance contracts & NDAs, Terms of Service, and Job Offers. Each document type has its own expert analysis — a lease is checked for tenant-rights issues, a freelance contract for payment and IP risks, and so on. More document types are coming.
The analysis is powered by Claude, one of the leading AI models for legal reasoning and document understanding. It reliably identifies common red flags, extracts key terms, and produces plain English summaries. That said — this tool is not a substitute for a lawyer on high-stakes decisions. For a lease renewal or standard NDA it's excellent. For a multi-million dollar business contract, consult a lawyer too.
SAFE means no significant red flags were found — the document appears standard for its type.
REVIEW means one or more clauses deserve a closer look before signing — not necessarily bad, but worth understanding.
DANGER means the document contains clauses that could significantly harm your rights, finances, or freedom — you should not sign without addressing these.
📄Using the Tool
No. No account, no email, no signup. Open the tool, paste your contract, get your results. That's it. We built it this way intentionally — the moment you need to analyze a contract is not the moment you want to create an account.
Yes. Click the Upload PDF tab, select your file (up to 4 MB), and our server extracts the text and returns it instantly. The PDF is discarded immediately after extraction — only the text is analyzed.
Yes — on mobile, the Take Photo tab lets you photograph a printed lease, paper NDA, or any physical document. Tesseract.js reads the text on your device using OCR. Best results with 12pt+ font and good lighting. If the text isn't read correctly, you can edit it before submitting.
Yes. The tool is powered by Claude's API which supports up to 200,000 tokens of context — roughly 150,000 words, or about 600 pages. Even a long commercial lease or multi-party agreement will be read in full without truncation.
Completely free. No hidden tiers, no analysis limits, no credit card required. The tool is supported by Google AdSense advertising. You get the analysis, we get a few cents in ad revenue. No tricks.
