This article explains what happens after you upload conversations or data using the Hearsay Extractor. Once your data is uploaded, it is securely sent to your legal team's portal for review. You will not be able to view the uploaded data inside the Hearsay Extractor application.
If you are an individual with your own account, skip to the last section below.
What happens after you upload data
Phone data and social media
After you select and upload conversations, the selected messages and media are uploaded directly to your legal team's secure portal. Only the data you selected is shared.
Emails you import are uploaded to the same secure portal. Your legal team can review, search, and export the collected emails from their account.
If your legal team has pre-programmed the search parameters, the searching and selecting may be done for you. For your privacy, they control who can view or access the shared data.
Can I highlight messages for my lawyer?
You cannot highlight or annotate specific messages from the Hearsay Extractor. Conversations need to be uploaded to the web portal before highlighting or taking notes.
My legal team wants me to review or tag messages. Can I do that?
Yes. Depending on the firm's setup, your legal team may:
Export a copy of the shared messages for you to review and mark up via document or PDF.
Add you to their account as a client user, which gives you access to view shared threads and add tags or comments online. In this case, you will receive an email invitation from the platform.
If you are not sure what applies to your case, check with your legal team.
Are you an individual with your own account?
If you created your own Hearsay account without going through a law firm, or your law firm instructed you to sign up on your own, your uploaded data is accessible only to you. You can log in at usehearsay.com/login to view or export your data at any time. You can also invite your legal team to review and annotate the uploaded data by adding them to the case.
