PRIVACY AGREEMENT
Your privacy is important to us. This statement explains how Standards Core collects, uses, stores, and protects information and for what purposes.
We do not store, transfer, or inspect any user content.
The AI systems are not free to us, so we monitor the level of usage to stay abreast of those costs. We monitor usage through the amount of content (for example, total characters processed). we do not store the content itself.
We do store usage information without user context. Again, this does not include content. We store User Interface activity such as which buttons and features are used, and, equally important, which features are never used at all. This allows us to enhance features, improve performance of highly utilized features, and remove features that are not used.
Standards Core accesses publicly available data and AI models in the public domain. We do not maintain proprietary AI models, nor do we store any prompt or response content.
When you respond to prompts such as “Was this helpful?” (thumbs-up / thumbs-down icons), we pass that feedback to the model provider that you selected and then delete the content from our systems immediately after transmission.
We store your registration and login information in Microsoft Azure SQL Server using the latest security and identity best practices (including Transparent Data Encryption and multi-factor authentication for administrative access). You may download all registration information at any time, and we will permanently delete that information immediately upon receiving an account cancellation request.
We store limited session information in your browser’s local storage - such as “Remember Me” tokens and AI template selections - for your convenience. We cannot view this information, and you can clear it at any time through your browser settings.
When you use our Office 365 add-ins such as Standards Copilot, the content in your active document is available only to the add-in code running locally in your browser sandbox. We never send that document content to our servers. At your direction, the add-in will transmit the selected content to the AI model you chose in order to generate an AI suggestion; the content is discarded immediately afterward.
We do not have access to any other files on your computer or network - modern browser sandboxing prevents this.
We do not share or sell user information to other organizations, businesses, or companies. This includes all registration and login information in our Azure SQL database.
Standards Core is independent and unbiased and does not accept third-party advertisements, product sponsorships, or incentivized placement or ranking.
YOUR RIGHTS
Depending on your jurisdiction (for example, the EU General Data Protection Regulation or the California Consumer Privacy Act), you may have the right to access, correct, delete, or export the personal information that we hold about you, and to object to or restrict certain processing activities. You can exercise these rights by contacting us at Support@standards-core.ai.
DATA SECURITY
All data in transit is protected with TLS 1.2 or higher, and all data at rest is encrypted using Microsoft Azure Transparent Data Encryption. Access to production systems is limited by role-based access control and audited multi-factor authentication.
RETENTION PERIOD
Apart from the retention periods stated above, we erase telemetry logs after 90 days and aggregate usage metrics after 12 months.
CHANGES TO THIS AGREEMENT
We may update this Privacy Agreement from time to time. Material changes will be announced at least 30 days before they take effect via email to registered users and an in-product banner.
