Paxton AI: Privacy, Training & Output Ownership

Sensitive Data

Paxton is HIPAA, SOC 2 Type II, and ISO 27001 compliant, utilizing a 'closed-model' infrastructure specifically engineered for legal and medical data security.

Training

Paxton's Terms of Service explicitly state that user-submitted data, including documents and prompts, is never used to train its AI models.

Paxton employs a strict zero-retention and zero-training policy for model improvement. Unlike public generative models, Paxton does not use your interactions, uploaded case files, or medical records to refine its global algorithm. This prevents 'data leakage' where sensitive firm-specific or patient-specific information could theoretically emerge in responses to other users.

Output Ownership

Users retain full ownership of all uploaded contributions and generated outputs, with Paxton asserting no intellectual property claims over user work product.

The platform's legal framework is designed to align with the needs of law firms and corporate legal departments. By contractually assigning ownership of all outputs to the user, Paxton ensures that the AI's research memos, contract redlines, and medical chronologies remain the property of the professional, facilitating clear billing and intellectual property management.

Data Retention

Data is retained only as long as necessary to provide the service or as required by law. Users have granular control over their data, with the ability to delete specific records or entire accounts. For healthcare users, Paxton provides the necessary documentation to support HIPAA's six-year record-keeping requirements for compliance actions.

Security Measures

Security is built on a foundation of end-to-end encryption (TLS 1.2+ for transit and AES-256 for rest). The architecture is a 'closed system,' meaning data is processed within a trusted, audited environment without being passed to unvetted third-party sub-processors, minimizing the 'third-party disclosure' risks often cited by courts in 2025 and 2026.

Your Rights & Control

Users possess the right to access, rectify, and export their data at any time. The platform supports 'Right to be Forgotten' requests and provides detailed audit logs, which are essential for professionals who must demonstrate human oversight and data integrity during regulatory audits or litigation.

Special Considerations

In the current 2026 legal landscape, Paxton's willingness to sign Business Associate Agreements (BAAs) for healthcare entities and its adherence to the 'vault' doctrine make it a preferred choice for professionals. It is specifically optimized to prevent the waiver of privilege that often occurs when using general-purpose AI tools.
