Your case files are yours. Full stop.
FetchJ is built for lawyers who do not want to trust blindly. Here is exactly what it does – and what it does not.
Open source to check
The source code of FetchJ is published on GitHub, without the licence check module. Anyone – you, your technician or a colleague – can check that FetchJ stores no passwords and transmits no case data. Link: github.com/fetchj/FetchJ-Source
No passwords
You log in in the portal window. FetchJ never types, reads or stores your user name, password or security code. The login assistant clicks at most up to the login screen.
Nothing without your consent
FetchJ has no server of its own for your case files: documents go straight from the portal to your computer. FetchJ fetches data – also automatically – but never sends anything by itself. A licence request, a support package or a handover to an AI only leaves with your click.
No session traces
Tokens, cookies and session data are used in memory only and never written to logs or reports.
Untouched documents
FetchJ never changes a downloaded document. Every download is logged; nothing is overwritten.
No hidden AI
The analysis uses rules only, on your computer. If you want to hand a case to an AI, FetchJ anonymises it on your computer first and sends it only with your confirmation. Handing case files to an AI is your responsibility (professional secrecy, your clients’ consent).
Cleaned support data
If you ask for support, you decide what is sent. The package is cleaned first: no credentials, party names or case numbers.
Which data we process – and which we do not
| Your case files and documents | Never. They stay on your computer. |
|---|---|
| Portal user name, password, code | Never. |
| For the licence: name, cédula, phone or SINPE, e-mail and technical check values of the computer | Yes, only with your request, to grant and check the licence and for the invoice (Ley 8968). |
| Support data | Only if you send it – you decide what is sent; it is cleaned first. |
| Log files | Fully anonymised: no passwords, tokens, session data or names of parties. |
The principles we work by
Ley 8968 (Costa Rica)
Protection of persons in the processing of their data: prior information, consent, rights of access, correction and deletion.
GDPR (EU)
Data minimisation, privacy by design and by default, purpose limitation.
US practice
Transparency and user choice following the Fair Information Practice Principles (FIPPs) and the NIST Privacy Framework.
ISO/IEC 27001
Information security: protection of credentials, logs without sensitive data and data-leak prevention.
ISO/IEC 27701
Privacy management: a clear purpose, as little data as possible, the rights of the people concerned and a record of every processing.
ISO/IEC 27017 and 27018
Security in the cloud and protection of personal data in the cloud – for our licence server, which stores licence data only, never case files.
FetchJ is not certified; these principles guide its design. You protect your computer: Windows password, disk encryption and backups.
