We do not keep your file.
Where the desk lives
This app is a page in your browser. Investigations sit in this browser, on this device. There is no login and no shared cabinet.
We do not keep your casefile on a server. If you close the browser and have not exported a pack, that copy can be gone.
What leaves this device
Saving a public page: this desk’s server fetches that public URL so the words can be saved. Private or blocked pages will fail. A failed capture is not a source.
Lookup: your Companies House key stays on this device. When you search, this page asks Companies House for that one reply. The key is sent with the request and is not stored on our server. It is not in the pack unless you tick include JSON — never the key.
Ask the investigation: if you press the button, saved words from this case are sent to Grok so it can answer from the pack only. You start that. It is capped at 20 pieces. Ask how-to does not send the case.
Read this paper, Draft this ask, and Story pass: if you press the button, the text already on that page is sent to Grok. It does not browse. Compare this name is done on this device. Research these four titles, if you press it, asks the same public registers as Record, People, Money and Graph. It does not send the case. Proofread this stays on this device.
A field recording: if you press Record, that sound is sent to be written down. This desk does not keep the sound. You edit the words before you save the note.
Archive.org: if you ask them to find or save a copy, that is their service.
Originals
Photos, PDFs, and the raw page this desk received stay on this device when the browser allows it. They survive a refresh of this site. They are not uploaded to make the pack “complete”. That would put evidence on someone else’s server. We will not do that.
If you import a pack on another phone, the originals do not come with it. Download originals from the device that saved them, before you lose that phone or clear the browser.
On your phone
On the published site you can add this desk to the home screen. Offline, the last case list this device saved can still open. Lookup, Archive.org, and saving a live page will not work until you are back on the network.
Fingerprints
A fingerprint is a hash of the words this desk saved. If those words change, the fingerprint will not match. That is a check, not a court stamp, and not proof that a live website has not changed.
