Privacy Policy
Last Updated: March 6, 2026
Introduction
Kyth (KYTH LLC, "Kyth," "we," "us," or "our") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, share, and protect personal information when you use our website at kyth.ai (the "Site") and our AI-powered legal recruiting intelligence platform (the "Service" or "Platform").
By accessing or using the Site or Service, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree with our practices, please do not use our Site or Service.
Important Note: This Privacy Policy applies to personal information we collect about our customers and website visitors. The Kyth platform also contains publicly available attorney profile data and job posting data that we aggregate from law firm websites and other public sources. That data is addressed separately in Section 2 below.
1. Information We Collect
We collect the following categories of information:
1.1 Information You Provide Directly
Account Information: When you create an account or subscribe to the Service, we collect your name, email address, company/organization name, job title, phone number, and billing information.
Communications: When you contact us (via email, contact forms, or support requests), we collect the information you provide in those communications, including your name, email address, and the content of your message.
User-Generated Content: If you use features such as Kyth Chat or other note-taking or annotation features, we collect and store the content you create, including queries, prompts, notes, and saved searches.
1.2 Information Collected Automatically
Usage Data: When you use the Service, we automatically collect information about your interactions with the Platform, including pages viewed, searches performed, features used, AI queries submitted, links clicked, and time spent on various sections of the Platform.
Device and Technical Information: We collect information about the devices you use to access the Service, including IP address, browser type and version, operating system, device identifiers, and network information.
Cookies and Similar Technologies: We use cookies, web beacons, and similar tracking technologies to collect information about your use of the Site and Service. This includes session cookies (which expire when you close your browser), persistent cookies (which remain until deleted), and analytics cookies. You can control cookies through your browser settings, but disabling cookies may limit your ability to use certain features of the Service.
1.3 Information from Third-Party Sources
Authentication Providers: If you log in using a third-party service (such as Google SSO), we receive basic profile information from that service in accordance with their privacy policies and your privacy settings on those platforms.
2. Publicly Available Attorney Profile and Job Posting Data
Data Sources: Kyth aggregates publicly available professional information about attorneys from law firm websites and other publicly accessible sources. This data includes attorney names, biographies, practice areas, bar admissions, educational background, professional experience, firm affiliations, office locations, contact information, and other information that law firms publicly publish about their attorneys for marketing and business development purposes. We also collect publicly available job postings from law firm career pages.
Purpose: This data is collected and processed to provide recruiting research and market intelligence services to law firms, legal recruiters, and other customers. The data is used to power search, matching, and analysis features within the Kyth platform.
Legal Basis (GDPR): Where GDPR applies, we process this publicly available professional data on the basis of our legitimate interest in providing recruiting intelligence services. Attorneys have published this information publicly for professional and business purposes, and our processing is compatible with those purposes.
Not a Consumer Reporting Agency: Kyth is not a consumer reporting agency as defined by the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA). We aggregate publicly available professional information for recruiting research purposes, not for employment screening or background checks. Customers should use Kyth for candidate sourcing and market research, not as a substitute for proper employment verification or background checks.
Data Subject Rights: If you are an attorney whose profile appears in the Kyth platform and you wish to request correction or removal of your information, please contact us at privacy@kyth.ai. We will evaluate requests on a case-by-case basis, balancing our legitimate business interests with individual privacy rights.
Data Freshness: We refresh attorney profile data daily and job posting data multiple times per day. However, data may be outdated, incomplete, or inaccurate at any given time. We do not warrant the accuracy, completeness, or currency of this data.
3. How We Use Your Information
We use the information we collect for the following purposes:
Providing the Service: To operate and deliver the Kyth platform, including AI-powered search, candidate matching, natural language query interpretation (IntelliSearch), conversational research (Kyth Chat), and other platform features.
Account Management: To create and manage your account, process payments, provide customer support, and communicate with you about your use of the Service.
Service Improvement: To analyze usage patterns, understand how customers interact with the Platform, improve our algorithms and AI models, develop new features, and enhance overall Service quality.
Security and Fraud Prevention: To protect the security and integrity of the Service, detect and prevent fraud, abuse, or unauthorized access, and comply with our legal and contractual obligations.
Legal Compliance: To comply with applicable laws, regulations, legal processes, or enforceable governmental requests.
Marketing and Communications: To send you product updates, newsletters, promotional materials, and other communications about Kyth (you may opt out of marketing communications at any time by following the unsubscribe instructions in those messages or contacting us at hello@kyth.ai).
4. AI and Machine Learning Processing
Use of AI Technology: Kyth uses artificial intelligence and machine learning technologies throughout the platform, including for semantic search, candidate matching, natural language query interpretation, data extraction and normalization, and conversational AI features (Kyth Chat).
Third-Party AI Providers: We use third-party AI model providers to deliver certain AI-powered features, including:
- Anthropic (Claude models) for conversational AI and data processing
- OpenAI (GPT models) for natural language processing
- Google (Gemini and other models) for embeddings and AI analysis
When you use AI-powered features, your queries and inputs may be processed by these third-party providers in accordance with their own privacy policies and terms of service.
No Training on Customer Data: Our agreements with AI model providers contractually prohibit the use of customer data, user queries, or platform inputs to train or improve third-party AI models. Your data is processed solely to provide the Service to you and is not used to train external AI systems.
Internal AI Improvement: We may use aggregated, anonymized usage data and feedback to improve our own AI systems, algorithms, and platform features. This does not include identifiable customer data or specific user queries.
5. How We Share Your Information

Kyth takes data security seriously and implements technical, administrative, and physical safeguards designed to protect your information from unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction.
Security Measures: Our security controls include encryption of data in transit (TLS) and at rest (AES-256), role-based access controls, multi-factor authentication for privileged access, logging and monitoring (via PostHog), regular security assessments, and incident response procedures.
Compliance: Kyth is GDPR, SOC 2 Type II, and ISO 27001 certified. Our compliance report is available upon request through the Kyth Trust Center.
No Guarantee: While we strive to protect your information, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security, and you use the Service at your own risk. If you become aware of any security breach or unauthorized access, please contact us immediately at security@kyth.ai.
