vs category average
Clio's privacy policy offers strong rights protections and pledges not to sell data, but lacks critical transparency on model training, specific retention periods, and explicit AI governance for a legal practice management tool.
What Clio's privacy policy says about your data
Data non-sale commitment
Clio explicitly states it does not sell personal information and has not done so in the prior 12 months, limiting data monetization exposure.
Comprehensive user rights
The policy grants access, portability, deletion with conditions, correction, and objection rights with a 30-day response deadline.
International transfer safeguards
EU and UK data transfers are governed by Data Processing Agreements and GDPR alignment, with a named subprocessor list available.
No training-data transparency
The privacy policy does not disclose whether user inputs are used to train Clio's systems, a critical gap for a legal software vendor handling sensitive client data.
The area-by-area breakdown for Clio is being prepared and will appear after its next scoring pass on the current rubric. The summary and highlights above reflect the latest assessment.
