Clause intelligence & aggregation
Last updated: July 2026 (Beta)
Most contract tools quietly pool their customers’ documents to build “market” data. DociCA does not. This page states exactly what we aggregate across firms, and the honest current state — and unlike an opaque pool, our consent ledger is inspectable: your firm can see whether any of its data was ever aggregated.
The rule
No data is ever aggregated across firms unless all three hold:
- your firm has granted consent in its own settings (workspace-level, and revocable at any time);
- DociCA has a signed, independent re-identification assessment on file; and
- any figure is drawn from a cohort of at least 10 firms (k-anonymity), or it is suppressed.
The current state
No independent re-identification assessment is signed today. Because that is a hard precondition, no cross-firm aggregation is active, and none is possible— no firm’s data is being, or has been, aggregated. We will state this status honestly here as it changes; the opt-in itself will only ever appear once the assessment is in place.
What we would never aggregate
Even with consent and a signed assessment, aggregation is over de-identified, scalar signals only — never document text, party names, or dollar amounts. Our legal basis is irreversible anonymization (Québec Law 25 s.23): once a figure is published it cannot be linked back to your firm.
If your firm opts in, then changes its mind
Revoking excludes your firm from all future aggregation immediately. Figures already published are irreversibly anonymized (no longer personal information), so they are retained — but they cannot be traced to you.

A workspace owner can review the plain-language scope and opt-in state under Settings → Clause intelligence. That page shows what would be aggregated and what is never touched — and, today, that nothing is aggregated at all.
