# Settings

> The settings hub at /settings — account details, security, notifications, theme, data residency, integrations, and the controls that shape how RYTZ behaves for you day-to-day.

import { CardGroup, Card, Note, Tip } from '@mintlify/components'

The **Settings** hub at `app.rytz.com.au/settings` is where account-level configuration lives. Most users visit Settings rarely — a few times after sign-up to configure preferences, then occasionally for password changes or 2FA setup. This page is the reference for what's there.

## Settings sections

The hub has six sections.

### Account

<CardGroup cols={2}>
  <Card title="Personal details" icon="id-card">
    Name, email, phone (optional). The email is the primary account identifier and cannot be changed without manual support intervention (security reason).
  </Card>

  <Card title="Address" icon="house">
    Postal address. Used for filing-related contexts (e.g. Affidavit Preparation auto-populates the deponent's address from this field).
  </Card>

  <Card title="Display name" icon="user">
    What the platform calls you in conversational contexts. Defaults to first name from Personal details.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Time zone" icon="clock">
    Used for date/time display and calendar generation. Defaults from browser; override if you travel between zones during the matter.
  </Card>
</CardGroup>

### Security

See [Account security](/account/security) for the full security walkthrough. The Security section covers:

* Password change
* 2FA setup, recovery codes, removal
* Active sessions list + sign-out controls
* Family-violence safe-exit toggle + destination
* Recent sign-in activity

### Notifications

<CardGroup cols={2}>
  <Card title="Email notifications" icon="envelope">
    Per-event toggles: court date approaching, evidence-portfolio gap detected, AI-conversation reply, billing-related, security alerts.
  </Card>

  <Card title="In-app notifications" icon="bell">
    What appears in the bell icon at the top of the app. Most users keep these on; they can be muted per-category.
  </Card>

  <Card title="SMS notifications" icon="mobile">
    Optional. SMS for the most-urgent categories only — court dates within 48 hours, security alerts, billing failures.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Notification frequency" icon="rotate">
    Daily digest, immediate, or off. Daily digest groups all non-urgent notifications into one email per day.
  </Card>
</CardGroup>

### Appearance

<CardGroup cols={2}>
  <Card title="Theme" icon="moon">
    Light, Dark, or System (follows OS preference). Default is Light.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Density" icon="grip">
    Comfortable, Cozy, or Compact. Affects spacing across the platform. Default is Comfortable.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Font size" icon="text-height">
    Small, Medium, Large. For accessibility — larger sizes pair well with screen readers and reduce eye strain on long drafting sessions.
  </Card>
</CardGroup>

### Data residency and privacy

<CardGroup cols={2}>
  <Card title="Data residency" icon="map">
    For AU-located accounts: confirms Australian-jurisdiction storage. Read-only — Australian residency is the default and currently the only option for the consumer app.
  </Card>

  <Card title="AI data usage" icon="message-bot">
    Confirms (read-only) that AI conversations are not used to train models. Cannot be opted out of (because it's already opted out by default).
  </Card>

  <Card title="Data export" icon="file-export">
    Bulk export of every piece of data tied to your account — Master Case File, Evidence Portfolio, conversations, drafts, settings. Generated as a ZIP. Generation takes a few minutes for active matters.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Account deletion" icon="user-slash">
    Initiate the account-deletion flow. See [Privacy and data](/account/privacy-and-data) for what happens.
  </Card>
</CardGroup>

### Integrations

<CardGroup cols={2}>
  <Card title="Calendar integration" icon="calendar">
    iCal feed URL for parenting calendar + Case Planner. Subscribe from any iCal-compatible app.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Email forwarding" icon="envelope-arrow-up">
    Per-account email address you can forward to (e.g. court correspondence) for the platform to ingest into Evidence Portfolio. Format: `<your-username>@inbox.rytz.com.au`.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Webhook (premium)" icon="webhook">
    For users who want platform events to trigger external automation. Premium feature; rarely used.
  </Card>
</CardGroup>

## Data export

A note on the data export feature, since it's frequently asked about:

The export contains:

* Your Master Case File (full PDF + structured JSON)
* Every Evidence Portfolio item (file + metadata)
* Every conversation with the AI assistant (full transcripts)
* Every draft (affidavit, parenting plan, settlement position, form)
* Settings + preferences

Export takes a few minutes to generate for active matters. The platform emails you when it's ready (or if generation fails). Downloads are time-bound (24 hours) and password-protected.

Use cases:

* Annual archive
* Migrating away from the platform
* Providing a comprehensive record to a lawyer
* Personal redundancy

## Mobile vs web settings

Settings are universal — set on any device, applied everywhere. Mobile and web display the same settings.

The platform doesn't currently have a native mobile app; the consumer app is web-first. The web app is responsive and works well on mobile browsers.

## What's not in Settings

Some adjacent things that live elsewhere:

* **Subscription / billing** — separate at [Subscription and billing](/account/subscription-and-billing) (`/subscription`)
* **Master Case File preferences** — within the MCF surface itself
* **Evidence Portfolio preferences** — within the Portfolio surface
* **AI assistant preferences** — within chat (long-press / right-click any message for assistant-level controls)

This separation is deliberate — surface-specific settings stay with the surface they affect.

## Reset to defaults

There's no global "reset all settings to defaults" button. The intent is that no single settings change is destructive enough to need an emergency reset. Individual settings can be reverted (a defaults link is shown next to each customised setting).
