JPW Mediation Advisory

This Privacy Policy explains how JPW MEDIATION SERVICES LIMITED handles information in connection with JPW Mediation Advisory, the Android application distributed under the package name uk.co.jpwservice.advisory.mediate.layer.

JPW Mediation Advisory is a planning aid for a small legal services practice. It holds a structured assessment for each client matter, captures evidence line items, checks mandatory details, ranks the remaining matters, and summarises counts and fee totals by matter type and month.

The app is built to work locally on the device. This policy describes what is kept on the device, when information leaves it, and the choices you have.

Information Kept on Your Device

The app stores your working information locally on the Android device. This includes matter assessments with their references, matter type, dates, estimated fee, evidence completeness, conflict status, and evidence line items with source, strength, admissibility and notes, together with any photos you attach to a record.

The app also keeps its own state on the device: your app settings and display preferences, and interface state such as the saved list order. Alongside these, the app uses temporary files in its cache, such as a photo just taken, until the app copies it into its private storage.

This local content is not automatically transmitted to the developer as part of the core workflow. User-created local content may contain personal information if you choose to enter or attach it, including details about clients and matters that you record yourself.

External Actions

A small number of actions open something outside the app: the company website in a browser, and an email client. These occur only when you choose them. The app itself makes no network requests.

If you choose to send an email message from the app, the company receives your email address and the content of that message. That is direct correspondence with the company and is separate from the matter information the app keeps on your device.

External services such as a browser or an email client operate under their own privacy practices.

Images in the App

You can attach a photo to a record either by taking the photo with the device camera or by picking an image from the device photo library. Photos are used only as supporting material for the records you create.

Photos stay in the app's storage on the device and are not automatically transmitted to the developer. The app declares no camera permission; when you take a photo, the shot is taken by the device camera application.

Permissions the App Declares

The app declares a single Android permission, android.permission.INTERNET. This permission is declared by the framework the app is built with, and the app itself makes no network requests. No other permission is declared.

What This App Leaves Out

The app does not require login or account registration, does not provide cloud synchronisation, and does not provide payment processing, subscriptions or other monetisation features.

It does not include advertising, analytics, tracking, or third-party service SDKs that receive app data. There is no backend storage of your matter information.

Important Notice on Use

The app is a planning aid. Its figures and lists rest entirely on what you enter, and they should be read with the following limits in mind:

The viability score is an estimate calculated from the estimated fee and evidence completeness, and it should be checked against the matter file before you rely on it. Excluding a matter only means it fails the app's own checks for blank mandatory fields, an uncleared conflict or a passed limitation deadline; it is not a legal opinion on the matter. The grouped counts and fee totals reflect the figures entered for each matter and are for planning review only.

The viability score, counts and fee totals are estimates calculated from the figures you enter; the exclusion checks cover only blank mandatory details, conflict status and the limitation deadline, and are not a legal opinion.

The app stores its data locally on this device only.

Retention and Deletion

Matter assessments, evidence line items and photos remain on the device until you remove them. The app lets you delete an individual record, and it provides a control to clear all local data.

You can also remove local app data through the Android device settings or by uninstalling the application. Anything you have sent by email from the app remains in the email service you used, outside the app.

Security and Responsibility

Reasonable measures are used to support the integrity of the application. You remain responsible for securing your own device and for the security of anything you send outside the app. No method of electronic storage or transmission can guarantee complete security.

Your Data Protection Rights

If you are in the United Kingdom or the European Economic Area, you may have rights under applicable data protection legislation, including rights of access, correction, deletion and restriction, where applicable under law. Whether those rights are available depends on whether personal data is being processed by the company.

Because the app keeps your working information on your device and does not automatically transmit it to the developer, that information can usually be managed directly on the device, or removed by uninstalling the application. If you have corresponded with the company by email, you can contact the company about that correspondence using the details below.

Use by Children

The app is intended for users aged 13 and above and is not directed to children under 13. The company does not knowingly collect personal data from children under 13. If such information is identified, reasonable steps will be taken to delete it or otherwise address the situation.

When This Policy Changes

This policy may be updated or revised from time to time, and the revision date shown with it indicates when it last changed. Reading the current version is the best way to know what it says.
