Lighthouse is an eDiscovery and legal technology company. It provides managed eDiscovery services, a self-service platform called Spectra, document review, digital forensics and collection, information governance, litigation and trial preparation, and AI analytics under the LighthouseIQ name. It also offers Relativity aiR. The offering combines software with legal services and is delivered mainly as a hosted service.
The contracting entity is Lighthouse Document Technologies Inc. in the United States, so US jurisdiction, including the CLOUD Act, applies. According to its privacy policy, data centres are located in Seattle and Phoenix in the US, London in the UK, and Frankfurt and Dornach in Germany, and Relativity instances are hosted in the region the customer specifies. For customer services, Lighthouse acts as processor on written client instructions, relies on the EU-US Data Privacy Framework and Standard Contractual Clauses for transfers, and has an EU representative in Berlin. A European legal department can therefore request EU-region hosting, but should confirm which data centre and which sub-processors are used for a given matter.
