Privacy policy

How the personal data of Motex users is handled, along with the data of people who appear in the case files the platform processes on behalf of its clients.

Last updated: August 17, 2026

1Data controller

The data controller is MOTEX CHILE SpA, Chilean tax ID (RUT) 78.344.932-3, a stock corporation (SpA) incorporated in Chile, legally represented by Cristian Richard.

Motex acts in two distinct capacities with respect to personal data, and this is the most important distinction in this policy:

  • As data controller, for the data of people who visit the site, write in through the contact form, or hold an account on the platform. Here Motex decides what those data are used for.
  • As tercero mandatario o encargado ("third-party processor," the term used by Chilean law) — for the data contained in the court case files that each client organization uploads or consults through the platform. In that case, Motex processes the data on the client’s behalf and following its instructions; it is the client who decides on that data.

2Applicable legal framework

Chile is currently governed by Ley N.º 19.628 (Law on the Protection of Private Life), in its full text, in force since 1999. Ley N.º 21.719 (the Personal Data Protection Law, which creates the Data Protection Agency and replaces most of the provisions of Ley N.º 19.628) has already been published in the Official Gazette — on December 13, 2024 — but is not yet in force: its own text sets its effective date for December 1, 2026 (Article primero transitorio).

This policy is drafted to comply with the law in force today while also being ready for the new framework. Wherever the text describes a right, an obligation, or an authority that only exists as of December 1, 2026, it says so expressly. Nothing described as currently in force is enforceable under the new regime before that date, and nothing described as applicable from that date is enforceable today.

3Territorial scope

MOTEX CHILE SpA is a company incorporated in Chile. Chilean personal data protection law applies directly to its processing, under the general territorial criterion, without needing to rely on the extraterritorial application rules that Ley N.º 21.719 reserves, from December 1, 2026, for controllers with no domicile in the country (Article 1 bis, letter c, new).

The same applies under Ley N.º 19.628 in force today: as a Chilean company, Motex is subject to Chilean data protection law without any special rule of territorial extension being necessary.

4Data processed

Contact data
Name, company or firm, email address, and the content of the message sent through the form.
Account data
User identification, the organization they belong to, role, and platform access logs.
Case file content
Court documents and their associated data: parties, representatives, RUT, matters, amounts, deadlines, and hearings. Part of this comes from what the Judiciary publishes and part is uploaded by the client itself. Motex processes this data as the client’s tercero mandatario o encargado, not as controller (see section 1).
Text of analyzed filings
Writ analysis retains the text extracted from the document, not the original PDF file.
Credentials for court services
When a lawyer registers their password to access restricted cases, the password is not stored on the platform: it is sent once to an encrypted vault, and only an opaque reference is kept.
Technical data
Activity and error logs generated by use of the site and the application.

5Purpose and lawful basis

Data is processed to:

  1. 1.Provide the contracted service: assemble each case’s file, classify it, calculate deadlines, and show the status of the portfolio.
  2. 2.Respond to commercial inquiries received through the contact form.
  3. 3.Administer accounts, access, and permissions within each organization.
  4. 4.Maintain service security, prevent misuse, and audit access.
  5. 5.Comply with legal obligations and respond to requests from authorities.

Client data is never used to train third-party models.

For data from court cases specifically, the basis invoked is assisting the client — or its lawyer — in exercising its right of action or defense, in cases that concern it. The development of this basis and the caveat pending legal validation that applies to it are in section 7.

Under Ley N.º 19.628, this processing is based on performance of the service contract, on the consent of whoever writes in through the form, and on compliance with legal obligations. From December 1, 2026, Ley N.º 21.719 expands the menu of lawful bases — among them, the controller’s legitimate interest — and requires declaring, for each purpose, which of those bases is invoked. That detailed declaration by purpose will be completed before that date.

6Providers and data processors

To operate, Motex relies on providers that process data on its behalf and under its instructions — what Chilean law, from December 1, 2026, calls "terceros mandatarios o encargados." The categories of providers are:

  • Cloud infrastructure and document storage.
  • Text recognition in documents, to read scanned filings that lack a text layer.
  • Language models, used to classify documents and answer queries about the portfolio.
  • Site usage analytics.
  • Meeting scheduling.
  • Email.

The named list of providers, with their commercial name and country of operation, is available to anyone who requests it by writing to the email address in section 15.

7Court case data

Motex collaborates with its clients and uses public information for that purpose. Processing of the data contained in court case files is based on assisting the client — or its lawyer — in legitimately exercising its right to sue or to defend itself, in cases that concern it. The purpose is not to exploit judicial data for its own sake: it is instrumental to that right of action or defense.

The information processed is public. Court proceedings are public, except for the exceptions the law expressly establishes (Código Orgánico de Tribunales — Judicial Organization Code —, Article 9).

The content of a court case file may include, depending on the case, data about the parties, matters, rulings, and convictions. The legal definition of "sensitive data" set out in Ley N.º 21.719 — ethnic or racial origin, political, union, or trade affiliation, socioeconomic status, convictions, religious beliefs, health, biometric data, sex life, sexual orientation, and gender identity (Article 2, letter g, new) — does not mention, in its literal text, data on judicial proceedings, convictions, or infractions as a separate category. This is a point Motex treats with caution and not as settled: the reading that this data is not "sensitive" on its own is an interpretation still pending validation with legal advice, not a certainty, and in any case a labor or family case file may also reveal some of the data that is listed in the legal definition.

Separately, the Judiciary’s own electronic case-management system has its own rules on the processing of the personal data it contains: Ley N.º 20.886 (Electronic Judicial Case-Management Law) subjects that processing to specific conditions, including an express prohibition on mass processing of that data without prior authorization (Article 2, letter c). Motex’s position is that its processing falls within the purpose described above — assisting the client in exercising its right of action or defense. This framing is Motex’s own criterion and is pending legal validation before this policy’s final publication.

8International transfers

MOTEX CHILE SpA is a Chilean company, but part of the personal data it processes does leave Chile: it is sent to providers established abroad, within the categories described in section 6 — cloud infrastructure, document text recognition, language models, and usage analytics. Each of those transmissions is an international transfer of personal data.

The text of Ley N.º 19.628 in force today sets no specific regime for these transfers. From December 1, 2026, Ley N.º 21.719 requires international transfers of personal data to have adequate safeguards when the destination country does not have a level of protection declared adequate by the Agency — for example, standard contractual clauses or another recognized instrument. Motex is reviewing, together with its providers, which instrument corresponds to each transfer before that date.

9Retention periods

The law requires that data be kept only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purpose of the processing. On that basis, Motex’s criterion distinguishes three types of data:

Client case-file documents and data
Kept for as long as the contract with the client organization lasts. At the end of the contract, the client has 30 calendar days to export its information. Once that period has elapsed, it is deleted.
User account data
Identification, organization, role, and permissions of the user. Kept for as long as the account is active and, when the organization’s contract ends, the same 30-calendar-day period applies before deletion.
Technical usage logs
Activity and error logs generated by use of the site and the application. Kept for as long as the contract of the organization they belong to lasts and, upon its end, deleted following the same 30-calendar-day period.

In all three cases, deletion may be postponed when a legal obligation exists to retain the data longer.

10Data subject rights

Today, under Ley N.º 19.628, any person may request, free of charge and regarding their own personal data:

  • Access. Know what data of theirs is processed and for what purpose.
  • Rectification. Correct inaccurate or incomplete data.
  • Cancellation or deletion. Request that data be suppressed where appropriate.
  • Blocking. Request the temporary suspension of processing.

From December 1, 2026, Ley N.º 21.719 expands this catalog to six rights: access, rectification, erasure, objection, portability, and blocking, with a 30-calendar-day response period, extendable once by another 30 days.

Requests are sent to the contact listed in section 15, with identity verification. When the data appears in a client organization’s case file, the request is forwarded to that organization, since it is the one that decides on its information as controller of that processing.

11Security and breach notification

The platform is built on four security commitments:

Per-organization isolation
Each organization operates in a sealed, independent environment. One organization’s case files and data are never mixed with another’s.
No model training
Client information is never used to train third-party models.
Encryption in transit and at rest
Data is encrypted from the first document to the last record.
Client control
Every record belongs to the client. It can be exported or deleted whenever required.

From December 1, 2026, Ley N.º 21.719 requires reporting to the Agency, by the most expeditious means possible and without undue delay, any security breach that causes destruction, leakage, loss, or alteration of personal data, or unauthorized access, whenever there is a reasonable risk to data subjects. The law sets no numerical time limit for that report — there is no "72-hour" rule in the legal text — it uses the open-ended formula "without undue delay." If the breach affects sensitive data, data of children under 14, or economic, financial, or commercial data, the law also requires notifying the affected data subjects directly.

12Data protection officer

Ley N.º 21.719 leaves the appointment of a data protection officer as a voluntary feature within an infraction-prevention model that a company may adopt (Articles 49 and 50, new). Motex does not appoint an officer: privacy inquiries and requests are handled directly at the email address in section 15, cristian@motex.ai.

13Contact channel in Chile

Ley N.º 21.719 requires, from its effective date, that every legal entity not incorporated in Chile that processes the data of people residing in the country designate and keep up to date, before the Agency, an email address or other equivalent electronic means of communication, so that data subjects can exercise their rights and receive communications from the Agency (Articles 10 and 14, new).

MOTEX CHILE SpA is a company incorporated in Chile, so this specific requirement does not apply to it. The channel for exercising rights and for any communication with Motex is, directly, the email address in section 15.

14Changes to this policy

This policy may be updated when the service, the applicable regulation — in particular, with Ley N.º 21.719 taking effect on December 1, 2026 — or the providers change. The date of the last update appears at the top of the document. Relevant changes are communicated to clients through the usual channels.
