Frequently asked questions

You asked, we answered

Does Descrybe share my searches or data with OpenAI?
Descrybe uses OpenAI’s API to process some search queries. These inputs are securely transmitted to OpenAI for processing, but they are not stored long-term, used to train models, or accessed beyond generating results. Descrybe is a Tier 5 OpenAI vendor, the highest level of API access available. This means we operate under strict enterprise-grade terms that prioritize data privacy and security, including clear protections around how user data is handled. Your searches remain confidential.
How current is your database?
It depends on the court. Some publish opinions immediately; others may delay. Our database is generally updated through 2024 with plans underway to launch a new process in Q2 2025 so that cases will always be as up-to-date as possible.
What’s the difference between the free and paid tools?
The core search and summary functions are always free. The Legal Research Toolkit unlocks advanced research features for a low monthly fee. Visit our Pricing page for details.
