DeepJudge
Data storage 3/3
What the vendor states (our summary):
Choice of DeepJudge cloud, customer cloud or on-premises
What this means: Switzerland only, or customer on-premises. Where data rests decides which law and which authorities can reach it. Swiss firms often require Swiss residency for client matters.
Where the AI runs / sub-processors 2/3
What the vendor states (our summary):
Choice of AI model and residency; default not stated
What this means: Switzerland plus EU/EEA. Storage and AI processing are often in different places. A tool can store data in Zurich and still send prompts to models in another country.
US Cloud Act exposure 2/3 ⚖︎
What the vendor states (our summary):
Depends on deployment; on-prem option available
⚖︎ Judgment call: Exposure depends on customer's chosen hosting and model; on-prem can avoid US providers.
What this means: Swiss storage, but US-parent compute or optional exposure. The US CLOUD Act lets US authorities require US providers to disclose data in their possession, custody or control, wherever it is stored. This score is always an editorial judgment call.
Art. 321 SCC auxiliary terms 2/3
What the vendor states (our summary):
Mutual confidentiality clause in Terms of Service; no auxiliary-person (Art. 321 SCC) term found
What this means: General confidentiality claim, no auxiliary-person term. Under Art. 321 SCC, auxiliaries of a lawyer are bound by professional secrecy, and Art. 13 para. 2 BGFA/LLCA makes the lawyer responsible for ensuring they respect it. Written auxiliary terms help document that.
revFADP / GDPR processing agreement 3/3
What the vendor states (our summary):
Public DPA incorporated into the terms; names the Swiss Federal Data Protection Act (definitions still cite the 1992 Act)
What this means: Public DPA that names the revFADP. Art. 9 revFADP and Art. 28 GDPR require a contract (or legal basis) when a processor handles personal data on your behalf.
No training on customer data 3/3
What the vendor states (our summary):
Does not train on customer data
What this means: Contractual no-training, including model providers. If customer data trains a model, confidential content could surface elsewhere. Look for a contractual ban that also binds model providers.
ISO 27001 / SOC 2 3/3
What the vendor states (our summary):
SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001
What this means: Own ISO 27001 or SOC 2 Type II. Independent audits (ISO 27001, SOC 2 Type II) give evidence that security controls exist and are tested.
