2. Privacy, Data Practices, and Your Rights
2.1 High-Level Commitments
- We do not sell or share for advertising the personal information you submit to us through account creation or use of the services.
- We process information to operate, secure, support, and improve the services, and to comply with law.
- Some offerings may involve aggregation of publicly available information about individuals who are not our users (see Section 2.4).
2.2 Information We Collect From Users and Clients
Information you provide:
- Identifiers and contact details (e.g., name, email address, phone number, company name).
- Account and profile information you submit through the service.
- Customer Content (e.g., prompts, documents, data you upload, and configurations you create).
- Support communications (e.g., emails, chats, and feedback you send us).
Information collected automatically:
- Usage and log data (e.g., feature access logs, timestamps, device/browser information, IP address, and security events).
- Approximate location derived from IP address (for security, fraud prevention, and compliance).
Account and Team/Workspace Data:
- When you create an account or sign in, we may create or maintain a team/workspace associated with your account so you can use the service. This may include a default team/workspace name derived from your login email address (for example, “email@domain.com’s team”), and records of team membership/roles, invitations, and related settings.
2.3 How We Use Information
- Provide and operate the services, including authentication, access control, and workspace/team features.
- Secure the services, prevent fraud/abuse, troubleshoot issues, and enforce policies.
- Provide customer support and respond to inquiries.
- Improve and develop features, including performance monitoring and debugging.
- Comply with legal obligations and resolve disputes.
2.4 Publicly Available Information and Lead/Research Datasets
Some tools may collect or aggregate publicly available information about individuals who have not interacted with us directly (for example, business contact details, professional bios, or publicly accessible web content). These individuals are not our users, and the data is collected from sources where it is publicly accessible.
We may provide these datasets to clients for business purposes such as lead generation, enrichment, research, or workflow automation. Depending on how applicable law defines “sale” or “sharing,” these transfers may constitute a “sale” under certain privacy laws (including the CCPA/CPRA), even if the data is publicly available.
We take steps to avoid including a client’s confidential Customer Content in any public dataset unless the same information is independently publicly accessible outside the client relationship.
2.5 How We Share Information
We may share information in the following ways:
- Service providers: vendors that help us operate the service (e.g., hosting/CDN, authentication, email delivery, logging/monitoring, payment processors). They are authorized to process information only to provide services to us.
- Legal and safety: to comply with law, respond to lawful requests, protect rights, investigate fraud/abuse, or ensure safety.
- Business transfers: in connection with a merger, acquisition, financing, reorganization, or sale of assets (subject to applicable law).
- With your direction: when you choose to integrate or connect third-party tools or authorize us to share data as you request.
2.6 Data Retention
We retain information only as long as reasonably necessary for operational needs, support, security, compliance, and legal obligations. For lead/research datasets derived from publicly available sources, we may retain datasets and related records for at least 12 months to support compliance and to respond to access, correction, deletion, or opt-out requests where applicable.
2.7 Security
We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards designed to protect information. However, no system is 100% secure. You are responsible for using strong passwords, enabling available security features, and limiting what you upload.
2.8 Children
Our services are not directed to children under 13 (and in some jurisdictions, under 16). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us information, contact us and we will take appropriate steps.
4. California Privacy Notice (CCPA/CPRA)
If you are a California resident, you may have the right to: (a) know what personal information we collect, use, disclose, or sell/share; (b) request deletion; (c) correct inaccurate personal information; (d) opt out of sale/sharing; (e) limit use of sensitive personal information (if applicable); and (f) not be discriminated against for exercising these rights.
4.1 Categories of Personal Information

- Internet/network activity (logs, feature usage, device/browser info);
- Professional/employment information (if provided by you or publicly available);
- Inferences (limited, such as preferences/settings you configure).
4.2 “Sale” / “Sharing”
We do not sell or share for advertising the personal information you submit to us through account creation or service usage. However, to the extent we provide clients with datasets created from publicly available information, such transfers may be considered a “sale” or “sharing” under the CCPA/CPRA.
4.3 Do Not Sell or Share
To opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information (including publicly available information we may aggregate), email us at aaron@shechet.com with the subject line “Do Not Sell or Share” and any details needed to locate the information. We will process requests consistent with applicable law.
4.4 Sensitive Personal Information
We do not intentionally collect or process “sensitive personal information” as defined by California law except where you choose to provide it in Customer Content. Please do not upload sensitive data unless necessary and authorized.
5. EU/UK Privacy Notice (GDPR/UK GDPR)
If you are located in the European Economic Area or the United Kingdom, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, restrict or object to processing, and data portability, and you may withdraw consent where processing is based on consent.
5.1 Legal Bases
Our legal bases typically include one or more of the following:
- Contractual necessity (to provide the services you request);
- Legitimate interests (to secure, maintain, and improve the services);
- Consent (where required, such as certain communications);
- Legal obligation (compliance and recordkeeping).
5.2 International Transfers
Your information may be processed in the United States and other countries where we or our service providers operate. Where required, we use appropriate safeguards for international transfers.
5.3 Automated Decision-Making

7. Dispute Resolution
7.1 Arbitration
Any dispute arising out of or relating to this Agreement or your use of the services will be resolved exclusively by binding arbitration under the rules of JAMS or the American Arbitration Association (AAA), at our discretion. Arbitration will take place in Los Angeles, California, unless the parties agree otherwise or the law requires otherwise.
Each party will bear its own attorneys’ fees and costs. This section does not prevent either party from seeking injunctive or equitable relief for misuse of intellectual property, unauthorized use of marks, or security-related harm.
7.2 Severability
If any provision of this Agreement is found unenforceable, the remaining provisions will remain in full force and effect.
8. Modifications
We may update this Agreement from time to time to reflect changes in law, technology, or our services. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated “Last Updated” date. Continued use of the services after changes become effective constitutes acceptance of the revised Agreement.
