Revised March 14, 2026
Stage Guide LLC ("we," "us," or "our") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy describes how we collect, use, disclose, and protect information when you use our web-based application and related services at relationships.stage.guide (the "Service"). The Service is a business relationship management platform designed for legal professionals.
By accessing or using the Service, you agree to the terms of this Policy. If you do not agree, please do not use the Service. We reserve the right to update this Policy at any time. The "Revised" date at the top of this page reflects the most recent update. Continued use of the Service after changes are posted constitutes your acceptance of the revised Policy.
This Policy applies to two types of users:
Subscribers are organizations or individuals (typically law firms or legal professionals) who create an account and purchase access to the Service. Subscribers are the data controller for any personal information they input about their contacts, clients, and business relationships.
Users are individuals authorized by a Subscriber to access the Service, such as attorneys, paralegals, or staff members.
Stage Guide LLC acts as a data processor on behalf of Subscribers. We process personal data entered into the Service only as directed by the Subscriber and as described in this Policy.
Account and Registration Information. When you create an account or subscribe to the Service, we collect your name, email address, firm or company name, phone number, and billing information.
Relationship and Contact Data. Subscribers and Users may enter information about their professional contacts, including names, job titles, organizations, email addresses, phone numbers, meeting notes, activity history, and other relationship data. This data is entered voluntarily and is controlled by the Subscriber.
AI Interaction Data. The Service includes AI-powered features. When you use these features, your inputs — such as prompts, queries, and notes — are transmitted to our AI service provider for processing. AI-generated responses are returned to you within the Service. See "How We Use AI" below for more detail.
Usage and Technical Information. We automatically collect information about how you use the Service, including log data, IP addresses, browser type, device information, pages visited, and timestamps. This information is used to operate, maintain, and improve the Service.
Communications. If you contact us for support or other inquiries, we collect the contents of your messages and any contact information you provide.
The Service is powered in part by artificial intelligence through the Anthropic API. When you use AI features, your inputs are transmitted to Anthropic, PBC for processing. Anthropic returns AI-generated outputs, which are displayed within the Service.
Pursuant to Anthropic's Commercial Terms of Service, Anthropic does not train its models on data submitted through the API. Your data is not used to train or improve Anthropic's AI models.
Anthropic processes your data as a sub-processor on our behalf, subject to Anthropic's Data Processing Addendum and applicable data protection laws. For more information, visit anthropic.com/legal/privacy.
AI-generated outputs are provided for informational and productivity purposes only. You are solely responsible for reviewing, verifying, and deciding whether to rely on any AI-generated content. AI outputs do not constitute legal advice and may be incomplete, inaccurate, or not reflective of current information.
To provide and operate the Service. We use your information to deliver the features and functionality of the Service, process payments, and fulfill our contractual obligations to Subscribers.
To communicate with you. We may send you important notices about your account, the Service, or changes to our terms and policies. We may also send product updates or announcements. You may opt out of non-essential communications at any time.
To improve the Service. We analyze usage patterns and technical data to diagnose problems, improve performance, and develop new features. This analysis uses aggregated or de-identified data where possible.
To ensure security and prevent fraud. We use information to monitor for unauthorized access, enforce our Terms and Conditions, and protect the rights and safety of our users and third parties.
To comply with legal obligations. We may use or disclose information as required by applicable law, regulation, or legal process.
Sub-processors and Service Providers. We share information with third-party vendors who help us operate the Service, including cloud hosting providers, payment processors, customer support tools, and AI service providers (including Anthropic). These parties are contractually obligated to protect your information and use it only for the purposes we specify.
AI Processing. As described above, inputs to AI features are transmitted to Anthropic for processing. Anthropic operates as a sub-processor under contract with Stage Guide LLC.
Business Transfers. If Stage Guide LLC is involved in a merger, acquisition, or sale of all or substantially all of its assets, your information may be transferred as part of that transaction. We will notify Subscribers of any such change.
Legal Requirements. We may disclose your information to comply with applicable law, respond to legal process, enforce our Terms and Conditions, or protect the rights, property, or safety of Stage Guide LLC, our users, or others.
Aggregate or De-Identified Data. We may share aggregate or de-identified information that does not identify you or your clients for analytics, research, or product improvement purposes.
We do not sell your personal information.
The Service is designed for use by legal professionals. Subscribers and Users are solely responsible for ensuring their use of the Service complies with all applicable professional responsibility rules, including rules governing confidentiality, competence, and supervision of non-lawyer services.
Before entering client information or confidential matter data into the Service, attorneys should evaluate their obligations under applicable rules of professional conduct, including ABA Model Rule 1.6 (Confidentiality of Information) and any corresponding state bar rules. Attorneys should also consider whether client consent or disclosure is required before using AI-assisted tools in connection with a client matter.
Stage Guide LLC does not provide legal advice and does not assume any responsibility for a Subscriber's or User's compliance with professional responsibility obligations.
We retain account and relationship data for as long as a Subscriber's account is active and for a reasonable period thereafter to allow for account recovery or to fulfill our legal obligations. Upon cancellation of a Subscriber account, we will delete or de-identify the Subscriber's data within 90 days, except where retention is required by law or for legitimate business purposes such as dispute resolution or fraud prevention.
Users may contact us to request deletion of their personal information. Subscribers may request deletion of their account data by contacting us directly. Please note that certain information may be retained in backup systems for a limited additional period.
We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect your information from unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. These measures include encryption in transit and at rest, access controls, and regular security reviews.
No data transmission over the Internet or storage system can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. If you believe your account or information has been compromised, please contact us immediately using the information below.
