Your clients' information matters. Here's how Trovve handles it.

See what Trovve can access, where your information goes, and how your firm stays in control.

Sign in with Microsoft Use your existing Microsoft 365 account. No separate Trovve password.
Files stay in Microsoft 365 Your original SharePoint and OneDrive files remain in your Microsoft 365 storage.
Control access Your Microsoft 365 administrator can review and revoke Trovve's approved access.

Where does your information go?

Trovve works with Microsoft 365 to organize your emails, files, and case work. Here's what happens.

Follow:

Diagram: emails, attachments and documents start in Microsoft 365. With approved access, Trovve reads relevant information to organize work. Original files stay in your SharePoint or OneDrive storage. Trovve work records such as tasks and client records are stored in Microsoft Azure.

Email: read from Microsoft 365, organized by Trovve, and the resulting task is stored in Azure. Some features also process information to prepare AI suggestions. See How Trovve uses AI below.

What happens when Trovve connects to Outlook?

Trovve looks for work your team needs to organize. You can review what it finds.

1 You approve access You connect your Microsoft 365 account and approve the access Trovve needs. Your organization may require an IT administrator to approve it.
2 Trovve finds the work During setup, Trovve can look at recent emails to find clients, cases, and the types of work your firm handles.
3 You check the setup Trovve shows what it found so you can confirm or correct it before your new setup is applied.

Once your firm starts using Trovve, approved email rules can help organize new work automatically.

Your firm stays in control.

Trovve works with your Microsoft 365 account and your firm's access settings.

Microsoft sign-in Your team signs in using Microsoft 365. Your organization's Microsoft sign-in security policies continue to apply.
Access to information Trovve uses approved Microsoft 365 access and its own workspace permissions to help people work with the right information.
Administrator control Your IT administrator can review Trovve's Microsoft permissions and revoke access through Microsoft Entra.
If your firm removes Trovve's Microsoft permissions, features that depend on that connection may stop working. Removing access does not automatically delete records already stored in Trovve. How to review app access in Microsoft Entra

AI helps organize work. Your team makes the decisions.

Trovve uses AI to help understand incoming communication, find related case work, and prepare suggested actions or replies.

Find the right work AI can help identify the client, case, and next step from an email.
Suggest, don't guess When Trovve isn't sure which case an email belongs to, it can ask your team to confirm.
Keep people involved Your team reviews substantive legal communication before it is sent. Trovve doesn't replace an attorney's legal judgment.
What happens to information used by AI?

Your data is not used to train AI models.

Trovve uses OpenAI models through Microsoft Azure, under Microsoft's enterprise data protection terms. Your firm's information is processed to provide Trovve's AI features—not to train or improve AI models.

When an AI feature is used, the information needed for that feature, such as the text of a relevant email, is sent for processing so Trovve can suggest a case, a task, or a draft reply.

Storage and encryption

Your original SharePoint and OneDrive documents remain in Microsoft 365. Trovve stores its own work records using Microsoft Azure.

Connections to Trovve and between Trovve and Microsoft 365 are encrypted in transit, and stored Trovve data is encrypted at rest.

AI and service providers

Some Trovve features rely on cloud services to process information and provide the features your firm uses.

  • Microsoft Azure — application infrastructure, hosting, and storage of Trovve work records
  • Microsoft 365 / Microsoft Graph — the connection to your email, calendar, files, and users
  • Stripe — payment processing; Trovve does not store card details
  • Microsoft Power Automate — only where automation workflows are configured
  • Twilio — only where SMS reminders are turned on
  • Microsoft Azure OpenAI — AI features (see below)
Microsoft Azure OpenAI
  • OpenAI models are accessed through Microsoft's Azure-hosted service.
  • Prompts and responses are not made available to OpenAI through this service.
  • Microsoft does not use them to train generative AI foundation models without customer permission or instruction.
  • Processing is governed by Microsoft's applicable enterprise data protection terms.
  • Any temporary retention or abuse monitoring follows the Azure service configuration.

What happens if I cancel?

You can cancel your subscription. Access continues until the end of your paid period. After that, your Trovve workspace becomes read-only for a limited time before its records are deleted. Your original files in Microsoft 365 remain there.

You can ask us to delete your Trovve records sooner by emailing help@trovve.com. Removing Trovve's Microsoft permissions stops the connection but does not delete records already stored in Trovve.

Security practices

Trovve uses Microsoft Azure infrastructure and application security controls to help protect customer information.

  • Sign-in through Microsoft Entra ID, including your organization's multi-factor authentication and conditional access policies
  • Encrypted connections and encrypted storage
  • Access tokens that expire and must be refreshed
  • Code review before release and monitoring of third-party libraries for known vulnerabilities
