Baseline product notice

Privacy, in plain language.

This notice explains what Docketbeat collects, why it uses that information, and the choices available to people who browse the site, join the preview, or use an account.

The short version
We use account and product information to run Docketbeat, public-record information to surface property signals, and limited analytics to understand whether the site is useful. We do not auto-send the outreach drafts generated in the product.

01 · Collection

What information may come to Docketbeat

Visitors and measurement

When you visit a page, the site may receive ordinary page-visit and device information used for security, troubleshooting, and marketing measurement. When configured, the Polsia page beacon creates a polsia_vid value in browser local storage. The site also initializes Meta Pixel and may record PageView, signup Lead, and verified-payment Purchase events.

Analytics providers may use cookies or similar technologies. You can manage browser or device storage settings and use controls offered by the relevant providers. Docketbeat does not currently promise a consent banner or a universal opt-out mechanism.

Signup, preview, and contact

Creating an account may provide your name, email address, password credential, account timestamps, and authentication or session security data supplied by better-auth. A session can include an IP address and user agent when available. Account settings and activity can include your plan tier, digest cadence, timezone, and relevant activity timestamps.

The free preview or waitlist collects an email address. A county access request may include county and state context plus an optional name and email; those requests are emailed to the company inbox.

Trial and payment: pending owner confirmation

The product brief contemplates a 7-day card-required trial, but that flow is not currently implemented or advertised in the checked-in product. The public preview currently says no card is required, paid plans are monthly, and the checkout flow does not pass a trial duration.

Where paid checkout is enabled, Docketbeat uses hosted Stripe checkout. Full card details are handled by the hosted payment processor rather than stored in the app. Docketbeat stores the pending checkout or session mapping, tier and user reconciliation data, and payment-event or verification fields needed to activate access. We do not state a first-charge date, cancellation terms, refund terms, or payment-data retention for the contemplated trial until the owner confirms them.

Property and public-record information

Docketbeat works with public-record property information such as parcel addresses, filing and timeline details, ownership or public-record context, and owner contact fields when available. It uses these data to search, rank, and show property profiles and to prepare outreach drafts. A profile is not a promise that a record is complete or current, and it is not an instruction to contact any person.

Watchlists, outreach, and AI variants

In the product, you may create watchlist pins, choose alert settings, and save notes. Docketbeat may retain generated-letter history, trigger and parcel identifiers, timestamps, and free-text notes connected with that work.

When you ask for variants, the route sends trigger, address, owner-name, and notes inputs through the installed Polsia AI proxy. The result is an editable draft; Docketbeat does not auto-send the outreach. You are responsible for checking facts and honoring applicable opt-outs and contact rules before using a draft.

02 · Use

Why we use information

  • • Provide, personalize, and improve accounts, previews, digests, watchlists, and outreach tools.
  • • Authenticate users, maintain sessions, prevent abuse, and troubleshoot the service.
  • • Process hosted checkout, reconcile tiers and access, and support billing questions.
  • • Measure page visits, signups, and verified payments so the company can understand marketing performance.
  • • Respond to county access requests, support questions, and other messages sent to the company.

03 · Sharing and retention

The providers that help run the product

Docketbeat shares information with operational providers only as needed for the purposes above, including:

  • Hosting and database — run the app and store its operational records.
  • better-auth — authenticate accounts and help secure sessions.
  • Stripe and Polsia billing — host checkout and reconcile payment events and access.
  • Polsia email proxy — deliver company messages and county access requests.
  • Polsia AI proxy — generate requested outreach variants.
  • Analytics and Meta — measure page visits, signups, and verified payments.

Information is retained while needed to operate accounts, provide support, reconcile billing, maintain security, and meet legal or business needs. Docketbeat does not set a fixed retention period in this baseline notice.

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards for the information we handle. No service or transmission can be promised completely secure, and this notice does not make an encryption, certification, or absolute-security guarantee.

04 · Your choices

Questions, requests, and controls

You can ask Docketbeat about accessing, correcting, deleting, or restricting the use of account information. You can also stop optional outreach or marketing messages and manage browser, device, or analytics-provider storage and controls.

Owner review required

This is a baseline product notice written from the behavior currently present in the repository. It is for owner review, is not legal advice, is not a substitute for legal counsel, and does not claim jurisdiction-specific compliance. The owner should confirm the trial, payment, retention, and rights language with counsel before treating this page as a final legal policy.
