Sponsored booking privacy

Privacy in sponsored bookings

Sponsored bookings are designed so sponsors can confirm their money was used well, but they can never see confidential client information. The beneficiary controls what the sponsor sees; the platform enforces the limits.

LeyApp never shares chat content, uploaded documents, or private case details with sponsors — regardless of budget size, sponsorship type, or permission setting.

What sponsors see

Sponsors see metadata about each booking:

Sponsor can see

• Booking status (requested, approved, completed, cancelled).
• Lawyer name and practice area (if the beneficiary allowed lawyer visibility).
• Short progress notes (if the beneficiary allowed status + notes).

Sponsor never sees

• Chat messages between client and lawyer.
• Uploaded documents.
• Detailed case content or legal analysis.
• The client's other bookings outside this sponsorship.
• Other sponsors who also sponsor the same beneficiary.

Permission levels

Beneficiaries choose one of three levels per sponsor:

• No updates — the sponsor sees the booking was created and the budget consumed; no status, no notes.
• Status only — the sponsor also sees each status change.
• Status and notes — the sponsor also sees the lawyer's short progress note for each status change.

GDPR rights

Beneficiaries and sponsors both have GDPR rights regarding their data on LeyApp.

Beneficiaries specifically can:

• Withdraw consent at any time, revoking a sponsorship immediately.
• Access a copy of their data (Settings → Privacy → Export).
• Request deletion of their data, subject to legal retention rules.

Data retention

Booking records and invoices are retained for the legally-required period (typically 5-6 years in Spain for professional services). After that, personal data is deleted or irreversibly anonymized.
