Legalicious Privacy Policy
Effective 1 October 2026
1. Who We Are
1.1 Controller. Bitesize Ventures, Inc., a Delaware corporation, which operates the Legalicious program ("Legalicious," "we," "us"), is responsible for the personal data described in this policy.
1.2 Contact. For anything in this policy, including to exercise your rights: team@legalicious.com.
2. Scope
2.1 What this policy covers. legalicious.com and the Legalicious services (the "Platform"), our email communications, and the onboarding and production processes for participants.
2.2 Participants. Guest Contributors, Faculty Counsel, and Faculty Firm participants give us information under the Legalicious Participation Agreement, which states how we use it, and we keep the acceptance record and any Enrollment described there. This policy applies to participants as users of the Platform in the same way as to anyone else.
2.3 What this policy does not cover. Third-party platforms where our content also appears, participants' own websites, and any lawyer's own handling of what you send them.
2.4 Features. The Platform launches in stages. Where this policy describes a feature, setting, or kind of data that is not yet available, we do not collect or share it until it is.
3. What We Collect
3.1 Visitors. Device and browser information, IP address and approximate location derived from it, pages viewed, referring URL, interactions, and cookie identifiers (see the Cookie Notice).
3.2 Members. Name, email address, display name, and city; optionally company, industry, stage, and role; the User Content you post (questions, comments, posts, replies); your likes, follows, saves, topics followed, watch history, profiles viewed, and link clicks, where offered; your settings, including Private activity; and account and login records.
3.3 Lawyer members. As for members, plus bar admissions and firm, any verification information we request, and any labeling requirements you notify to us.
3.4 Participants. Contact details, biographical information, credentials, admissions, and firm; video and audio recordings, including your image and voice; contract and payment records (card details are handled by our payment provider and do not reach us); correspondence; and the website link you choose to display.
3.5 Messages to participants. Where the Platform offers a way to contact a participant through it, the message you send and the fact that you sent it.
3.6 Partners. Contact details of individuals at partner organizations, and contract records.
3.7 What we do not collect. Data from anyone under 18, knowingly. Sensitive categories of data. The facts of anyone's legal matter — we ask you not to post them, and we do not ask for them.
4. How Your Activity Is Shown and Reported
4.1 The principle. Public actions — posting, commenting, liking, following, sharing — are visible in the way they are on other professional networks, and may be reported to the participant whose content you engaged with. Private actions — watching, saving, viewing a profile, clicking a link — are reported to participants only as counts. You can switch public actions to counts-only with one setting.
4.2 Table.
| Data | Who can see it |
|---|---|
| User Content — questions, posts, comments, answers, replies | Public, under your display name, indexable by search engines |
| Likes, follows, and shares | Shown with your display name and stated company, and reported to the participant concerned with your name, title, and company, unless Private activity is on. With Private activity on, counted in totals and not shown or reported with your name |
| What you watch or save, profiles you view, links you click | Reported to participants only as counts, never with your name |

10.6 Global Privacy Control. We honor Global Privacy Control signals sent by your browser as a refusal of analytics and marketing cookies and, where applicable, as an opt-out of sale or sharing.
10.7 If you are in California. You have the rights to know, access, delete, and correct your personal information; to opt out of sale or sharing (we do neither); to limit use of sensitive personal information (we do not use it for purposes requiring a limitation notice); and not to be discriminated against for exercising these rights. You may use an authorized agent. The categories we collect are: identifiers; commercial information; internet or network activity; approximate geolocation; audio and visual information (participants); professional or employment information (participants, lawyer members, and members who state a company or role); User Content you choose to post; and inferences drawn for content relevance. Sources, purposes, and recipients are in Sections 3, 5, and 7. The disclosures we make to participants are those in Section 7.2 and no others.
10.8 If you are in the EEA or the UK.

You can withdraw consent at any time without affecting prior processing. The legal bases we rely on are in Section 5. You may complain to your local supervisory authority.
11. Automated Decision-Making
We do not make decisions with legal or similarly significant effects about you by automated means. Content ordering, personalization, and moderation flags are not decisions of that kind; a person reviews moderation actions that affect your account.
12. Security
We use reasonable technical and organizational measures appropriate to the risk, including encryption in transit, access controls, and vendor due diligence. No system is perfectly secure. We maintain a breach response procedure and will notify affected people and regulators where the law requires.
