What the vendor documents
Recorded from the vendor's own trust, privacy and terms pages. "Not disclosed" means we found no public statement, not that the control is absent.
What the public documentation states
Garfield.Law's homepage describes recovery of invoices up to £10,000 through the English small claims court, and the legal page identifies Garfield.Law Limited as authorised and regulated by the SRA. The privacy policy dated 12 August 2026 names Google Cloud and Vercel for cloud infrastructure, hosting and AI processing, says AI processing takes place in UK and EU data centres and that core claim and account information is stored in the United Kingdom, and states that AI-provider terms prohibit use of user data to train AI models. The same policy says the public sub-processor list is available on request, and gives retention periods: claim records 15 years, ID six years, accounting seven years, application and error logs 90 days, and security and audit logs 24 months. The pricing chart dated 17 November 2025 publishes per-document fees, including £2 polite chasers, £7.50 letters before action and £50 to £100 claim forms. The terms contain an as-is accuracy disclaimer; no accuracy method was published.
In the vendor's words
“secure Google Cloud environment, in UK and EU data centres”
“contractual terms that prohibit the use of your data to train AI models”
“A current list of our sub-processors is available on request.”
“application and error logs are kept for 90 days, and security and audit logs for 24 months”
Not disclosed on public pages
"Not disclosed" records that no public statement was found where we looked, on the date shown. It does not assert that the control, term or figure is absent.
On the pages we read on 2026-09-06, the audit did not find a DPA, terms update date, free trial, seat minimum, encryption-at-rest statement, SOC 2, ISO 27001, ISO 42001, private deployment option, SAML SSO statement or accuracy method. It also found that sub-processor names are available on request rather than published. A law-firm or regulated-service review would normally request these points for client confidentiality, GDPR Art. 28 flow-downs, access control, retention and SRA supervision.
Questions to put to the vendor
- Which Google Cloud and Vercel regions process claim data and AI prompts?
- Can you provide the current sub-processor list that the privacy policy says is available on request?
- What encryption-at-rest controls apply to claim records retained for 15 years?
- Which DPA terms govern Garfield.Law when it acts as controller, processor or authorised law firm?
- What human supervision or testing method supports the small-claims content generated for users?
