Your privacy, in plain English

Official letters contain personal information, so here's exactly what happens to yours:

  • Your letter is sent to an AI model (Anthropic) only to generate the explanation you see.
  • We don't keep a copy and we don't build a profile on you — there's no account and no tracking.
  • Only upload what you're comfortable sharing. You can black out details (like ID numbers) you don't need explained.
  • Klartext is a helper, not legal or tax advice. For serious matters, confirm with the relevant office (Behörde) or a professional.
