SRA + client confidentiality + GDPR
Confidentiality is the whole job. One paste can waive it.
Lawyers paste contracts, settlement terms, and client identities into ChatGPT to summarise. That can breach SRA confidentiality duties, risk privilege, and trigger GDPR. AIovert blocks it on-device and logs the proof.
This paste contains confidential client information. Sending it to an AI tool risks privilege and breaches your confidentiality duty. It never left the browser.
The exposure
What Legal pastes into AI, and why it's a problem.
- Contracts & matters: confidential agreements pasted into an LLM to summarise clauses or draft revisions.
- Client identities: names, parties, and case facts shared with AI: confidential information under SRA rules.
- Privilege risk: disclosing privileged material to a third-party model can undermine the protection itself.
Regulatory mapping
The rules that apply, and where the risk sits.
Duty of confidentiality
Keeping client affairs confidential is a core obligation; an AI paste discloses them to an outside processor.
Privilege preservation
Sharing privileged content with a third-party model can be treated as a disclosure that erodes privilege.
Lawful, secure processing
Personal data in matter files needs a lawful basis and appropriate security; a chatbot paste has neither.

How AIovert helps
Block the leak. Log the proof.
- Block before disclosure: confidential matter content is cancelled in the browser before it reaches the AI tool.
- Lawyers keep working: a masked copy lets fee-earners use AI for structure and drafting without exposing client facts.
- Evidence for your COLP: every attempt is logged with user, data type, and tool. Your record of reasonable controls.
