  • Improving AI accuracy and efficiency without storing personally identifiable or confidential data beyond necessary processing
  • Providing customer support and service enhancements while maintaining user privacy

3. Data Security & Protection Measures

We implement industry-standard security measures to protect your data from unauthorized access, modification, or disclosure:

Security Protocols

  • Data Encryption: All uploaded documents and processed outputs are encrypted at rest and in transit using AES-256 encryption
  • Secure Data Storage: Documents are stored securely in ISO 27001-compliant cloud infrastructure (e.g., AWS S3 with restricted access policies)
  • Access Control: Only authorized personnel have limited access to data for troubleshooting and support, with strict role-based authentication
  • Automatic Data Erasure: We do not store documents longer than required. All files are automatically deleted from our servers within 180 days after processing, unless users choose to retain them
  • AI Processing Compliance: Any data processed by AI models is scrubbed of sensitive and personally identifiable information before being used in LLM models, ensuring compliance with GDPR and PIPEDA

4. Data Sharing & Third-Party Policies

We do not sell, rent, or share your personal data with third parties for marketing or any other purposes. Your documents and private information remain confidential.

  • Third-Party AI Models: Data is not shared with external AI providers. Instead, we use internal processing layers that anonymize and protect data before interacting with AI models
  • Legal Compliance: We may share limited information only if required by law, such as in response to a valid legal request or subpoena
  • Third-Party Services: Some analytics or security services may be used (e.g., Google Analytics, AWS Cloud Security) but only anonymized and aggregated data is shared, ensuring no personally identifiable information (PII) is exposed
