Privacy Policy

Last updated: March 1, 2026

MyStoryMatters is a legal documentation app designed to help personal injury clients record their recovery journey. Your data is confidential, encrypted, and shared only with your attorney's office.

1. Who We Are

MyStoryMatters is operated by Midwest Legacy AI ("we," "us," or "our"), based in Illinois. This app is provided to personal injury clients through their attorney's office. If you have questions about this policy, contact your attorney's office directly.

2. What Information We Collect

When you use MyStoryMatters, we collect the following types of information:

Journal entries — written descriptions of your daily condition, symptoms, and activities
Health data — pain levels, affected body parts, symptoms, sleep quality, and emotional state
Voice recordings — audio recorded through the app's voice-to-text feature
Activity data — limitations you report, such as inability to work, drive, or perform daily tasks
Appointment information — medical and legal appointments visible in the app
Device pairing data — the secure pairing code used to link your account to your attorney's dashboard

3. How We Use Your Information

Your information is used exclusively for the following purposes:

To create and store your personal injury recovery journal
To securely transmit your entries to your attorney's dashboard for legal documentation
To enable voice-to-text transcription of your recordings via secure AI processing
To flag entries containing legally significant language for your attorney's review
To display your appointment schedule as provided by your attorney's office

We do not use your data for advertising, marketing, or any commercial purpose unrelated to your legal case.

4. Who We Share Your Information With

Your data is shared only with:

Your attorney's office — the law firm that provided your pairing code has access to your journal entries and health data for the purpose of managing your legal case
Secure cloud infrastructure providers — we use industry-standard cloud services to store and process your data securely
AI transcription services (OpenAI) — when you use the voice recording feature, your audio is transmitted to OpenAI's API for transcription. OpenAI processes the audio to produce a text transcript. Per OpenAI's API data usage policy, they do not use API data to train their models and retain submitted data for up to 30 days for safety monitoring before deletion. The resulting text transcript is stored on our servers. We do not retain your audio after transcription is complete.

We do not sell, rent, or share your personal health information with any third party for commercial purposes.

5. Data Security

We take data security seriously. Your information is protected by:

Encrypted data transmission (HTTPS/TLS) between the app and our servers
Secure on-device storage using iOS Secure Enclave for your credentials
Access controls that restrict your data to authorized personnel only
Immutable journal entries — once saved, entries cannot be altered or deleted, protecting their legal integrity

6. Data Retention

Your journal entries and health data are retained for the duration of your legal case and as required by applicable law. Your attorney's office may have specific data retention obligations under state law. Contact your attorney for details specific to your case.

7. Your Rights

Depending on your location, you may have the right to:

Request a copy of the data we hold about you
Request correction of inaccurate information
Request deletion of your data, subject to legal and contractual obligations

To exercise these rights, contact your attorney's office directly.

8. Children's Privacy

MyStoryMatters is not intended for use by individuals under the age of 18. We do not knowingly collect personal information from minors. If you believe a minor has used the app, contact your attorney's office immediately.

9. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. Continued use of the app after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.

10. Contact Us

If you have questions or concerns about this Privacy Policy, please contact your attorney's office directly. They can address questions specific to your case and escalate to us if needed.
