Question 1

What is Klartext Recht?

Accepted Answer

Klartext Recht is an online service that helps you understand legal documents. Our AI analyzes your document and explains it in plain language.

Question 2

Is this legal advice?

Accepted Answer

No. Klartext Recht provides legal information and explanations, not legal advice. The results do not replace consultation with a qualified lawyer.

Question 3

How much does it cost?

Accepted Answer

The basic analysis is free. The advanced analysis can be unlocked by watching a short ad. There are no direct costs for you.

Question 4

Which file formats are supported?

Accepted Answer

PDF, DOCX, TXT, RTF, ODT, HTML, and images (JPG, PNG, WEBP, HEIC). Scanned PDFs are processed via OCR. Maximum file size is 25 MB.

Question 5

How secure is my data?

Accepted Answer

Your documents are encrypted in transit and automatically deleted after 24 hours. Immediate deletion can be requested at any time.

Question 6

Can the AI make mistakes?

Accepted Answer

Yes. AI-based analyses can contain errors or miss important details. For important decisions, you should always consult a lawyer.

Question 7

Which countries are supported?

Accepted Answer

The focus is on German law. Austria and Switzerland are supported as beta jurisdictions — results may be less precise there.

Question 8

Can I have my data deleted?

Accepted Answer

Yes. You can request deletion of your uploaded documents and associated analysis data at any time.

Question 9

Which file formats can I upload?

Accepted Answer

The best results come from PDF, DOCX, TXT, RTF, ODT, and HTML files, plus images in JPG, PNG, WEBP, or HEIC format. Scanned PDFs are also supported because the text is read with OCR. Just make sure the file stays readable and does not exceed 25 MB.

Question 10

Which countries are covered?

Accepted Answer

The main focus is German law. Austria and Switzerland are supported as beta jurisdictions so you can still get a useful first pass there. For other countries, the interface can still help you understand the text, but the legal interpretation is much more general.

Question 11

How long does an analysis take?

Accepted Answer

Most documents are analyzed in about 15 to 30 seconds. Larger scans, very big files, or low-quality images can take a little longer because the text has to be recognized first.

Question 12

Are my documents stored?

Accepted Answer

Your uploads are processed only temporarily and are automatically deleted after 24 hours. The content is not used for AI training and is not sold to third parties. If you request an email report, only the data needed to send it is kept until delivery.

Question 13

What should I do if the analysis seems wrong?

Accepted Answer

Compare the result with the original text and double-check deadlines, amounts, and cancellation rules. If the scan was blurry, upload a better file or paste the text directly. For important matters, you should also ask a lawyer to review it.
