Zero Data Retention: The #1 Security Question for Legal AI

Anyone using legal AI should be asking vendors: Do you have zero data retention agreements with your AI providers?

 Without those agreements, providers like OpenAI can store your prompts and outputs for up to 30 days. Your client information, contract language, privileged communications—all potentially logged and accessible.

If your data is stored or used for training, pieces can resurface. Imagine drafting a sensitive M&A clause, and similar language later appears when another user asks the model for help. Even a small chance undermines confidentiality and privilege.

At Gavel, we have zero data retention agreements with every AI provider we use. Nothing is accessed, reused, or trained on by the AI provider.

New Case Study: How Gavel Exec Saves 10 Hours Per Contract

Martin Algie, owner of MIA Contract Lawyers, was spending 15 hours per contract reviewing poorly drafted pharmaceutical agreements. After testing multiple AI tools that either missed clauses or over-redrafted, he found Gavel Exec. The results:

• 10 hours saved per contract
• Paralegals now run his 80-rule playbooks
• Launched a new subscription service for pharma clients

"It's the best system I've tried and I've tried many. I don't have to second guess the system."
