- How AI is used
- From the product description or the settings page the lawyer supplies, copy the categories of personal information the product says it collects, the purposes it states, and any statement that information is sold or shared. Write no sentence that the product complies.
- What the lawyer must review
- Section 1798.100(a), (c), and (e) are the duties a business that controls collection has to check this description against. The product description is not that notice, and it is not a finding of reasonable security. Section 1798.81.5, which subsection (e) incorporates, was not opened. Opinion 512 and Model Rule 1.6: do not paste client matter information into the product to test it unless the client has agreed and the tool does not disclose it.
