Data handling
Legora explicitly states the following about data handling:
- Data Retention: Personal data is retained only as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected or as required by law. For users covered by a Subscription Agreement, data is deleted in accordance with that agreement. Data not used for contractual purposes is typically retained for 3 months, and data required by law (e.g., anti-money laundering) is kept for 5 or 7 years. When data is no longer needed, it is deleted or anonymized, or securely stored and isolated until deletion is possible.
- Client Data Not Used for Training: Legora processes client content as a data processor on behalf of its subscribers and does not use client content for its own purposes. Content is handled according to the relevant Subscriber Agreement, and Legora will never collect or store data directly related to client content except as required by the agreement.
- On-Prem Deployment / Private Cloud: Legora hosts customer data in data centers located within regions specified in the agreement with the subscriber. Data processed by vendors is restricted to the EU or must be fully GDPR compliant. The platform is cloud-based, and the cloud environment is provided by one or more cloud service providers (e.g., Azure), with no mention of on-premises deployment or private cloud as a standard offering, but regional hosting is supported.
- Customer-Managed Encryption Keys: Legora encrypts customer data at rest using AES 256-bit (or better) encryption and in transit using TLS 1.2 (or better). Encryption keys are regularly rotated, safeguarded with hardware security modules, and logically separated from customer data. However, there is no explicit mention that customers manage their own encryption keys; Legora manages the keys.
- Additional Security: Legora is ISO 27001 certified, uses SOC 2 compliant data centers, and operates under GDPR. Access to customer data by Legora personnel is strictly limited and only for support or legal compliance.
In summary, Legora does not use client data for training, supports regional data hosting, manages encryption keys, and has clear data retention and deletion policies, but does not explicitly offer on-premises deployment, private cloud, or customer-managed encryption keys as standard features.
