Their privacy policy is 8 years old. Before AI. Before modern data practices. What are they actually doing with your data now?
Eight years ago. Before everything changed.
ChatGPT launched. AI transformed every industry. Legal tech companies started training models on client data.
Major privacy regulations passed. CCPA. State laws. New disclosure requirements companies must follow.
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.
CosmoLex isn't independent. It's part of a legal tech conglomerate.

"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.
"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.
"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.
"We may also employ third party tracking and analytics providers"
Unknown third parties are watching how you use your billing software.
"We currently do not respond to DNT browser signals"
Your "Do Not Track" preferences are ignored. Explicitly. By design.
"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.
"Every cloud app is racing to bolt on AI. They all work the same way."
It lives on their servers, meters every question, and every word you feed it, your client's secrets, your strategy, your privileged work, lands on someone else's machine. A federal judge just ruled that kind of data isn't privileged anymore (US v. Heppner). So you'd be paying extra to hand your client's confidences to a system that can be subpoenaed. CosmoLex will be no different.
Oasis doesn't work like that.
It runs on your Mac. Your data never leaves the building. Nothing trains a model. Nothing gets metered. And the assistant, First Mate, is free for life, because it costs me nothing to run. CosmoLex can't match free. Not because they won't. Because every answer they give costs them money, and every answer mine gives costs me nothing. That isn't a pricing trick. It's the difference between renting a mainframe and owning your computer.

CosmoLex pricing varies, but here's a typical scenario.
One Click Billing. Smart rounding. Non-destructive timers. Split billing by party. Text expansion before TextExpander was even a product. I shipped every one of those first, then watched the big cloud apps roll out their own version a year or two later. That's the tell. I lead. They follow.
But here's where they can never follow.
Private AI on your own machine. A complete, permanent history of every change, restorable with one click, even after you quit and relaunch. Working on a plane with no Wi-Fi. Your data that never leaves your Mac. You cannot bolt any of that onto a cloud product. Not with a sprint. Not with a roadmap. Not with a private-equity war chest.
Software that doesn't need to track you. Doesn't share your data across corporate empires. Doesn't use 8-year-old privacy policies.

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).
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.
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.
