Clio's privacy policy discloses training opt-out for generalized LLMs, user-owned outputs with limited provider reuse, comprehensive GDPR-aligned rights (access, deletion, portability, correction, objection), explicit data-sharing disclosures, 90-day post-termination deletion, named security controls and breach notification, but with vague retention periods and weak synthetic-output marking.

What Clio's privacy policy and terms of service say about your data

Sublicensable content licence

Provider rights over your content are described as "non-exclusive, worldwide, sublicensable, royalty-free," a broad licence that weakens your control over what you submit

Strong data-subject rights

Names concrete access, deletion, portability, correction, and objection rights with mechanisms, alongside a 90-day post-termination deletion window

Training opt-out, not opt-in

You can opt out of training on generalized LLMs, but the default is to train, and the opt-out is conditional rather than absolute

Boilerplate encryption

Names security controls and a 72-hour breach-notification commitment, but describes data only as "encrypted" with no named standard such as AES-256

What the policy is silent or vague on

Not stated: a way to opt out of training
Not stated: whether training use differs by plan
Not stated: shorter retention for AI conversation logs
Not stated: automated decisions and a human-review path
