Privacy Policy

eFiling Assistant ("the app", "we"), operated by Franz Christian Morelos (Philippines), is a desktop application that helps law offices in the Philippines prepare and send the electronic copies of civil-case pleadings required by the Supreme Court's eFiling guidelines. This policy explains exactly what data the app touches — and what it does not.

1. Information the app accesses

When you sign in with Google, the app requests only:

• Basic profile (openid, email, profile) — your name, e-mail address, and profile picture, shown in the app so you know which account you're signed in as.
• Send-only Gmail access (gmail.send) — permission to send e-mails from your account, at your request. This scope cannot read, list, modify, or delete any e-mail in your mailbox.

The documents you add (pleadings, annexes) and the case details you type are read only on your device to build the filing e-mail.

2. How that information is used

For one purpose only: to compose and send your civil-case transmittal e-mail to the court (and CC opposing counsel) from your own Gmail account, in the format the guidelines require. Your basic profile is used solely to display your signed-in identity and to confirm you're sending from your e-mail of record.

3. What we do NOT do

• We do not upload, transmit, or store your documents anywhere. They never leave your computer except as the e-mail you choose to send.
• We do not read, store, or have any access to your inbox or existing mail.
• We run no servers and operate no database of users or content. No analytics, advertising, or tracking.
• We do not sell, rent, or share any data with third parties — there is no data to share.

4. Where data is stored

Everything is local to your device: your firm signature, app settings, and your Google sign-in. On desktop, your Google sign-in is stored as an encrypted token in the app's private data folder so you don't have to sign in repeatedly; it's encrypted with a key derived from your machine and cannot be used on another computer. You can remove it anytime by signing out in the app or uninstalling.

5. Google API Services — Limited Use

eFiling Assistant's use and transfer of information received from Google APIs adheres to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements. Specifically, the data obtained through Google sign-in (your basic profile and the gmail.send permission):

• is used only to provide and improve the app's single user-facing feature — composing and sending your civil-case filing e-mail from your own account, at your request;
• is not transferred to others, except as necessary to provide that feature, to comply with applicable law, or as part of a merger or acquisition (and in any event, no such data resides with us to transfer);
• is not used for serving advertisements of any kind; and
• is not read by, or made accessible to, any humans, unless we have your affirmative consent for specific messages, it is necessary for security purposes (e.g. investigating abuse), or to comply with applicable law.

6. Data deletion

Because no data leaves your device, you control all of it. To delete it: sign out in the app (removes the stored Google token), or uninstall the app. You may also revoke the app's access to your Google account anytime at myaccount.google.com/permissions.

7. Children

The app is a professional tool for legal practitioners and is not directed to children.

8. Changes

If this policy changes, the "Last updated" date above will change. Material changes will be communicated to licensed users.
