TimeNet Law vs CosmoLex

Their privacy policy is 8 years old. Before AI. Before modern data practices. What are they actually doing with your data now?

CosmoLex's Privacy Policy Was Last Updated:

2018

Eight years ago. Before everything changed.

Since Then

ChatGPT launched. AI transformed every industry. Legal tech companies started training models on client data.

Since Then

Major privacy regulations passed. CCPA. State laws. New disclosure requirements companies must follow.

Since Then

CosmoLex was acquired by ProfitSolv. New owners. New business model. Same old policy.

What is CosmoLex actually doing with your data in 2026? Their privacy policy doesn't say. Because it's from 2018.

The ProfitSolv Empire

CosmoLex isn't independent. It's part of a legal tech conglomerate.

ProfitSolv

Private Equity-Backed Parent Company

CosmoLex

All-in-One

TimeSolv

Time & Billing

Rocket Matter

Practice Mgmt

Tabs3

Legacy Billing

Orion Law

Enterprise

"We may share your information with... affiliated entities"
— CosmoLex Privacy Policy

Translation: Your data can flow freely between all five companies. Switch from TimeSolv to CosmoLex? They probably already have your data.

The Zombie Cookie Confession

"We may also use 'Flash cookies'... If you delete the browser cookie, the Flash cookie may automatically create (or re-spawn) a replacement for the browser cookie."
— CosmoLex Privacy Policy

Read that again. You delete their tracking cookie. It comes back from the dead.

These are called "zombie cookies" because they regenerate after you try to kill them. CosmoLex put this in writing. In their own privacy policy.

What Else Is In There?

Targeting Cookies

"Targeting cookies or advertising cookies... are used to deliver adverts more relevant to you and your interests"

Your legal billing software is serving you targeted ads. Based on your behavior. As a lawyer.

Third-Party Analytics

"We may also employ third party tracking and analytics providers"

Unknown third parties are watching how you use your billing software.

Ignores DNT

"We currently do not respond to DNT browser signals"

Your "Do Not Track" preferences are ignored. Explicitly. By design.

Marketing Partners

"We may disclose aggregate non-personally identifiable information... to our advertisers, business partners"

"Aggregate" and "non-personally identifiable" are doing a lot of heavy lifting here.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this really in CosmoLex's privacy policy?

Yes. Every quote on this page is from CosmoLex's official privacy policy. We encourage you to read it yourself. Note the "Last Modified: May 2018" date at the bottom.

Why hasn't CosmoLex updated their privacy policy?

We can't speak for them. But an 8-year-old privacy policy in 2026 is concerning. Either they haven't changed their practices (unlikely given AI developments), or they have changed their practices and haven't disclosed them (worse).

Can I migrate my data from CosmoLex?

Yes. TimeNet Law can import your client and matter data. Most attorneys complete their migration in under 2 hours. You'll work directly with the developer to make sure everything transfers correctly.

How does TimeNet Law protect my data?

By never having access to it. Your data lives on your Mac. It never touches our servers. We can't track what we never see. We can't share what we don't have. That's not a policy — it's architecture.
