# LegalScout > Private AI platform for Australian legal teams to draft, review, and analyse contracts - hosted entirely in Australia. LegalScout is an Australian-owned legal AI software platform built specifically for Australian law firms and in-house legal teams. All data is hosted in the AWS Sydney Region (ap-southeast-2) and the platform is aligned to the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) and the Australian Privacy Principles (APPs).
