Pagefreezer is a Vancouver-based SaaS company specializing in digital archiving solutions that enable organizations to automatically capture and preserve online content—including websites, social media, SMS, and enterprise collaboration platforms—in tamper-proof archives.

Workflows
Based on practitioner evidence, Pagefreezer is used in these workflows:
What practitioners struggle with
Real frustrations from legal professionals — the problems Pagefreezer addresses (or should address). Sourced from practitioner reviews, Reddit threads, and case studies.
Legal hold notices go out by email, half the custodians ignore them, nobody tracks acknowledgment — six months later a key custodian deleted relevant Slack messages and now there's a spoliation fight
Government legal team processes hundreds of FOIA requests and internal investigations per year — each one requires collecting, reviewing, and producing thousands of documents with mandatory redaction of PII, deliberative process privilege, and law enforcement exemptions. No affordable eDiscovery infrastructure designed for recurring government-scale review, just enterprise tools priced for litigation
Opposing party's social media post proves liability but a screenshot alone won't hold up in court — the judge wants metadata showing when and where the content was captured, the opposing side argues the screenshot could be doctored, and without a chain-of-custody the evidence gets excluded
IP enforcement team needs to capture 200+ infringing product listings across Amazon, eBay, and social media before the seller takes them down — manual screenshots don't scale, lose metadata, and can't be batch-exported for cease-and-desist letters or court filings
High-conflict custody case generates hundreds of text messages, emails, and voicemails between co-parents — the family law attorney needs to find the three messages that prove a pattern of interference, but they're scattered across platforms and the client's phone screenshots are inadmissible hearsay
Board meeting prep is a quarterly fire drill — the corporate secretary scrambles to assemble board books from 6 different sources, track director consents across time zones, maintain minutes archives, and ensure governance resolutions are properly filed, all while the GC changes the agenda 48 hours before the meeting.
County DA's office processes 8,000 cases per year with 12 attorneys and a legacy case management system from the early 2000s that can't share data with law enforcement's records system — every case requires manual re-entry of arrest data, incident reports are printed and re-scanned, and the office has no real-time visibility into which cases are approaching statutory deadlines
Executor inherits a loved one's estate and faces 600+ hours of paperwork — locating bank accounts, notifying agencies, filing probate, transferring titles — with zero training and while grieving
Government records officer gets a FOIA request for social media posts from 18 months ago — the agency's Twitter account has 12,000 posts, nobody saved the deleted ones, and the agency has 10 business days to respond before the requester escalates. Manual scrolling through social media history is not a compliance strategy
Company gets a letter saying beneficial ownership reports are due under the Corporate Transparency Act — they have 40 LLCs across 8 states, each with different beneficial owners, and nobody has a centralized record of who owns what percentage or their current addresses, so the compliance officer is scrambling to collect SSNs and passport copies from dozens of individuals before the deadline
Financial services compliance team needs to archive broker-dealer social media activity for FINRA 2210/4511 and SEC 17a-3/17a-4 — the broker posted a market prediction on LinkedIn that may violate advertising rules, and without a compliant archive the firm can't demonstrate supervisory review to the examiner
Where it fits in your workflow
Before Pagefreezer
Organisation has 20 social media accounts, a website, and employee SMS → needs to archive all content automatically → Pagefreezer captures daily/continuous. Or: litigation team needs to collect opposing party's social media posts → Social Discovery searches public profiles.
After Pagefreezer
Pagefreezer archives content → searchable archive for compliance audits → export for eDiscovery/legal hold → produce for FOIA requests. Social Discovery → litigation evidence package → eDiscovery review platform (Relativity, Everlaw).
Integrations & hand-offs
Pagefreezer (archiving/collection) → eDiscovery platform (Relativity, Everlaw) for review → legal team for production. Or: Pagefreezer → compliance audit/FOIA response → records manager produces documents.
