Privacy Policy
AnchorIt™, useanchorit.com
Last updated: May 16, 2026

 

Overview

AnchorIt™ is a communication refinement tool built on The Composure Codes™ methodology. This policy explains what information is collected when you use AnchorIt™, how it is used, and what protections are in place.

 

Account Registration and Billing

AnchorIt™ offers a 14-day free trial. Access requires a valid email address and payment information, which is collected and processed exclusively by Stripe, Inc., a third-party payment processor. AnchorIt™ does not store credit card numbers or payment credentials. Stripe's privacy practices are governed by the Stripe Privacy Policy.

 

Your email address is used to facilitate your subscription, deliver transactional communications related to your account, and send service-related notices and communications from AnchorIt™. You may opt out of non-transactional emails at any time via the unsubscribe link included in each message. There are no usernames or passwords associated with AnchorIt™ accounts.

 

What AnchorIt™ Does Not Collect

AnchorIt™ does not collect or store the following:

• Message content submitted for refinement. Message text is transmitted to Anthropic's Commercial API for processing and is not collected or stored by AnchorIt™.
• Payment credentials, which are handled exclusively by Stripe.
• Cookies or tracking data beyond standard analytics (see Analytics section below).

 

What AnchorIt™ Does Collect

AnchorIt™ logs anonymous usage metadata in server memory only, including:

• Mode used (refine or analyze)
• Whether attorney mode was active
• Result type returned (ok, redirect, or error)
• Timestamp of request

 

This metadata is ephemeral - it is held in active server memory, is never written to a database or external service, and is cleared on server restart. It contains no message content and cannot be traced back to any individual user.

 

How Your Messages Are Processed

Messages you submit are transmitted to Anthropic's Commercial API for processing. Anthropic is the third-party technology provider that powers AnchorIt™'s communication refinement functionality. Your message is processed in real time and a refined version is returned to you on screen.

AnchorIt™ does not store, log, or retain the content of messages you submit. The refined output is displayed on screen only. The user copies the output and sends it from their own device through their own messaging or email application. AnchorIt™ creates no file, saved record, or exportable document.

 

What Anthropic Retains: The 30-Day API Log

When a message is processed through the AnchorIt™ interface, it passes through Anthropic's API infrastructure. According to Anthropic's published privacy documentation, Anthropic automatically deletes API inputs and outputs from their backend systems within 30 days of receipt or generation. (Source: Anthropic Privacy Center, How long do you store my organization's data?)

 

The 30-day API log at Anthropic contains the following:

• The text of the input submitted and the output returned
• A timestamp
• The AnchorIt™ API key (identifying AnchorIt™ as the commercial customer, not any individual user)
• Token count (the length of the exchange)

 

The log does not contain:

• Your name
• Your email address
• Your device information
• Any account identifier
• Any information that connects the text to a specific individual

 

There is no chain of custody linking an entry in Anthropic's API log to any identifiable person. The log reflects anonymous text associated with the AnchorIt™ API key only.

 

According to Anthropic's published documentation, by default, Anthropic does not use API inputs or outputs from commercial products to train its models. (Source: Anthropic Privacy Center, How long do you store my organization's data?)

 

One exception applies under Anthropic's policy: If content submitted through the API is flagged by Anthropic's automated trust and safety classifiers as violating Anthropic's Usage Policy, Anthropic may retain that content for up to two years and retain trust and safety classification scores for up to seven years. Users are advised that this exception exists. (Source: Anthropic Privacy Center, How long do you store my organization's data?)

 

Zero Data Retention (ZDR), Pending

AnchorIt™ has formally requested a Zero Data Retention (ZDR) agreement with Anthropic. ZDR is a contractual arrangement available to eligible enterprise API customers, subject to Anthropic's approval.

 

According to Anthropic's published documentation, under a ZDR agreement, Anthropic does not store API inputs or outputs except where required to comply with law or to combat misuse. The standard 30-day retention window is eliminated entirely under ZDR.

 

One limitation applies: even under a ZDR agreement, Anthropic retains User Safety classifier results in order to enforce its Usage Policy. (Source: Anthropic Privacy Center, I have a zero data retention agreement with Anthropic. What products does it apply to?)

 

This policy will be updated to reflect the confirmed status of ZDR once that agreement is finalized. Until that time, the 30-day retention standard described above applies to Anthropic's API infrastructure.

Analytics

AnchorIt™ uses Google Analytics 4 to collect anonymous usage data such as page visits and general interaction patterns. This data does not include message content and cannot identify you personally. You may opt out of Google Analytics tracking using the Google Analytics Opt-Out Browser Add-on.

 

A Note for Attorneys: Discovery, Privilege, and the Heppner Question

Attorneys have raised legitimate questions about AI use and client risk in litigation. The following section addresses three concerns that arise most frequently, explains the structure of AnchorIt™ in relation to those concerns, and cites applicable Anthropic data policies directly.

 

What Is the Heppner Question?

The "Heppner Question" is whether communications a client routes through an AI tool can be shielded from discovery under attorney-client privilege.

United States v. Heppner addressed this directly. In that case, a defendant already under federal investigation for securities and wire fraud independently used an AI chatbot, outside of and separate from his attorney relationship, to discuss his defense strategy and legal arguments. Those exchanges produced 31 documents that were stored on his personal device, later seized, and ultimately not protected under attorney-client privilege.

 

The court's ruling turned on two facts: (1) the communications were between the client and an AI tool, not between the client and an attorney, and therefore fell outside the attorney-client relationship; and (2) those exchanges produced stored documents tied to substantive legal discussion that existed as discrete, retrievable records.

 

Whether AI-Refined Communication Produced Through AnchorIt™ Is Discoverable

AnchorIt™ does not send messages. The tool displays refined text on screen. The user copies that text and sends it from their own device through their own messaging or email application, in the same manner as any message they composed themselves. AnchorIt™ is not the sender and is not the platform of transmission.

 

The message a user ultimately sends from their own device is subject to the same rules of discovery that apply to any communication sent from that device. AnchorIt™ does not alter that analysis.

 

What AnchorIt™ does affect is what exists to discover beyond that sent message. AnchorIt™ does not create, store, or export documents. There is no file, no saved output, and no export function. No AnchorIt™-generated record exists to subpoena or produce.

 

The 30-day API log at Anthropic contains the text of the input submitted and the output returned during that window. Those logs contain no user account information, no email address, no device identifier, and no metadata linking the entry to any specific individual. However, users should be aware that if they include personally identifying information such as their name or case details within the text of a message they submit, that content would be present in the log. The log is associated with the AnchorIt™ API key only, not with any individual user. Users and their counsel should be aware that, as with any third-party technology provider, Anthropic may be subject to lawful legal process. AnchorIt™ makes no representations regarding how Anthropic would respond to a subpoena or court order. Users with specific concerns should consult their legal counsel and review Anthropic's published privacy documentation directly. (Source: Anthropic Privacy Center, How long do you store my organization's data?)

 

This distinguishes AnchorIt™ from the Heppner scenario, which turned on the existence of stored documents tied to a third-party platform that contained substantive legal discussion. AnchorIt™ produces no such documents. What passes through the API is a draft communication and its refined version, not legal strategy, case analysis, or attorney-client discussion.

 

Whether Anthropic Retains or Could Be Compelled to Share Client Inputs

As described above, Anthropic's published privacy documentation states that API inputs and outputs are automatically deleted within 30 days of receipt or generation. (Source: Anthropic Privacy Center, How long do you store my organization's data?)

 

During that 30-day window, a log entry at Anthropic would contain the text of the input and output, a timestamp, and the AnchorIt™ API key. It would not contain the user's name, email address, device information, or any identifier connecting that entry to a specific individual. There is no chain of custody between an Anthropic API log entry and any identifiable person.

 

Once a Zero Data Retention agreement with Anthropic is confirmed and active, Anthropic will no longer retain API inputs or outputs at all, except as required by law or to combat misuse. The 30-day window will be eliminated. This policy will be updated to reflect that status when confirmed. (Source: Anthropic Privacy Center, I have a zero data retention agreement with Anthropic. What products does it apply to?)

 

Whether Using AnchorIt™ Exposes a Client's Internal Thinking or Legal Strategy

AnchorIt™ is designed for a narrow and specific purpose: refining the tone and clarity of draft communications. It is not a platform for legal analysis, case strategy, or substantive legal discussion.

 

AnchorIt™ is a user-facing tool. Any individual, including an attorney, may use it to refine the tone and clarity of a message draft. The tool does not distinguish between user types. What it does not do, by design, is function as a repository for legal thinking, case strategy, or attorney-client discussion. The input submitted to AnchorIt™ is a draft communication. The output is a refined version of that draft. Neither constitutes legal analysis or a record of mental impressions.

 

The "For My Attorney" mode formats output in a clean, scannable structure that a user may choose to share with their own counsel. That exchange occurs entirely outside AnchorIt™, through the user's own communication channel.

 

 

 

 

Summary for Attorneys

Question	AnchorIt™ Position
Is communication refined through AnchorIt™ discoverable?	The message the user sends from their own device is subject to normal discovery rules. AnchorIt™ creates no file, saved output, or exportable record. There is nothing generated by AnchorIt™ to subpoena or produce.
Can Anthropic be compelled to share what passed through the API?	Anthropic retains API inputs and outputs for up to 30 days, associated with the AnchorIt™ API key only, not linked to any individual user. No name, email, device, or account identifier is present in that log. Anthropic may be subject to lawful legal process; AnchorIt™ makes no representations about how Anthropic would respond.
Does using AnchorIt™ expose a client's legal strategy or internal thinking?	AnchorIt™ is a tone and clarity tool for draft communications. It is not a platform for legal analysis or attorney-client discussion.
