Privacy Policy

Introduction

Welcome to answersDoc. We value the privacy and security of your personal information. This Privacy Policy outlines how we collect, use, and protect your data when you use our platform.

Information We Collect

We may collect personal information such as your name, email address, and other contact information when you voluntarily provide it to us through our website.

We may also collect information automatically through cookies and other tracking technologies when you interact with our website, including:

• IP addresses
• Browser type
• Operating system
• Usage data

How We Use Your Information

The information collected is used to:

• Provide and improve our services
• Personalize user experiences
• Communicate with you, including responding to inquiries and support requests
• Analyze usage patterns to enhance platform performance and security

Cookies and Other Tracking Technologies

We use cookies and other tracking technologies to collect information about your use of our website. This information may include your IP address, browser type, operating system, and other information about your device. We use this information to improve the content and functionality of our website and to personalize your experience.

Sharing Your Information

We do not sell or rent your personal data to third parties. We may share your information with:

• Service providers who assist us in our operations
• Legal authorities if required by law
• Third-party AI models and tools for document processing and analysis (see “Data Sharing with AI Models” section below)

Data Sharing with AI Models

To provide our core services, answersDoc utilizes external AI models for document processing and analysis. We share the following data with these third-party AI tools:

• Uploaded documents
• User queries related to the documents
• Document content for context-aware responses

This data sharing is essential for our app to provide accurate, context-aware responses to your queries about uploaded documents. The AI models process this information to generate relevant insights and answers.

We ensure that all third-party AI services we use adhere to strict data protection standards. Your data is processed solely for the purpose of providing you with document analysis and query responses, and is not used for any other purposes by these third parties.

User Consent for AI Processing

Before we share any of your data with our AI processing tools, we will explicitly ask for your consent. This consent process is separate from the Google OAuth consent and will clearly explain:

• What data will be shared (uploaded documents, queries, etc.)
• Why this data needs to be shared (for AI processing to generate responses)
• Which third-party tools will process your data

You have the right to withhold or revoke this consent at any time. If you choose not to provide consent, you will not be able to use the AI-powered features of answersDoc, but you can still use other features of the app that don’t require AI processing.

To manage your consent settings or revoke consent, please see the checkbox in the answersDoc sidebar providing consent, unchecking the box will revoke consent.

Security

We take reasonable measures to protect your personal information from unauthorized access, disclosure, or use. We implement industry-standard security measures to protect your data against unauthorized access, disclosure, or destruction.

Use of Google APIs

The use and transfer of information received from Google APIs will adhere to Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements. You can review the policy here: Google API Services User Data Policy.

Transparency and User Consent

We are committed to transparency regarding our data practices. If we plan to access or use a type of user data that was not originally disclosed in this Privacy Policy, we will update the policy and prompt the user to consent to any changes before accessing that data.
