This Privacy Policy explains how semiAIfoundryTM ("semiAIfoundry," "we," "us," or "our") collects, uses, discloses, and protects information when you visit our corporate website, request information, or use its public contact channel (collectively, the "Services").
1) Scope
This Privacy Policy applies to information collected through our Services. It does not apply to third-party websites, products, or services that may be linked from our Services.
Platform-specific sites, products, pilots, evaluations, or commercial deployments may be governed by additional or separate privacy, security, confidentiality, data-processing, business associate, or customer agreements. If those terms conflict with this Privacy Policy for a specific engagement, the written engagement terms control for that engagement.
2) Information We Collect
A. Information you provide to us
We may collect information you provide directly, including:
- Contact information, such as name, work email address, company, job title, and phone number
- Inquiry information, such as details you share when requesting information or contacting us
- Professional or organizational context, such as role, employer, business interest, platform interest, and communication preferences
B. Information collected automatically
When you access our website, we may collect limited first-party measurements, including:
- Page paths, page views, session engagement events, and interactions with research resources or contact pathways
- Referral domains and campaign parameters supplied in an incoming link
- Broad device category and country-level location determined at request time
- A randomly generated, session-only identifier used to distinguish activity within one browser session
Our website analytics do not store full IP addresses, raw user-agent strings, persistent analytics identifiers, contact-message content, or cross-site browsing profiles. Country-level location may be derived from a network request before the underlying IP address is discarded.
C. Public-source information used for benchmarking and publications
We may collect and analyze information from publicly available sources, such as public research papers, patents, standards materials that are public, conference programs or materials that are public, and public company disclosures, to produce benchmarks, summaries, and analysis. We do not intend to collect non-public confidential information from these sources.
D. Customer content
Our Services may be used in a public-only mode that does not require you to provide proprietary or confidential information. If we engage with you in a pilot, evaluation, or other collaboration requiring additional data, confidentiality and data-handling terms will be addressed separately in writing.
Do not submit protected health information, clinical records, payment data, financial account data, student records, export-controlled information, trade secrets, confidential technical documents, or other sensitive or regulated information through public pages, public forms, or public contact channels unless a separate written agreement expressly permits it.
Unless expressly agreed in a separate written agreement, we are not acting through public channels as a HIPAA covered entity or business associate, financial institution or payment processor, school official, regulated data processor, or similar regulated data custodian.
3) How We Use Information
We use information to:
- Provide and operate the Services, including responding to inquiries
- Improve the Services, including understanding usage and performance
- Create aggregated, de-identified, or non-identifying analytics, benchmarks, operational insights, and product-development insights
- Maintain safety, security, and integrity of the Services
- Protect our Services, platforms, intellectual property, trademarks, users, and business operations
- Detect, investigate, prevent, and respond to misuse, security incidents, unlawful conduct, or infringement
- Comply with legal obligations and enforce our rights, agreements, and policies
4) How We Disclose Information
We may disclose information:
- To service providers that help us operate the Services, such as website hosting, analytics, and customer support, subject to contractual protections
- To our affiliates, platform entities, and internal teams for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy
- To comply with law or respond to lawful requests
- At your direction or with your consent
- To protect the rights, safety, and security of semiAIfoundryTM, our users, or others
- To professional advisors, legal counsel, auditors, insurers, or other parties where reasonably necessary to protect our rights, investigate misuse, enforce agreements, or manage risk
- In connection with a business transaction, such as a merger, acquisition, financing, or sale of assets, where permitted by law
We do not sell personal information or share it for cross-context behavioral advertising as those terms are commonly understood under U.S. state privacy laws. If our practices change, we will update this Privacy Policy and provide any legally required choices.
5) Cookies, Session Storage, and Similar Technologies
We may use cookies, session storage, and similar technologies to:
- Operate and secure the website
- Remember preferences where applicable
- Understand website usage, research reach, and performance
Our first-party website measurement does not set analytics cookies. It uses a random identifier in browser session storage that expires when the browser session ends. We honor enabled Global Privacy Control and Do Not Track browser signals by not initiating this measurement. You can control cookies and browser storage through your browser settings.
6) Data Retention
We retain personal information only as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, including to comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements, protect our intellectual property and platform assets, maintain security records, and preserve evidence of misuse, infringement, or unauthorized access where appropriate.
Session-level website analytics events are retained for no more than twelve months. Aggregated reports may be retained longer where they no longer identify or reasonably relate to an individual or browser session.
Aggregated, de-identified, and non-identifying information may be retained and used for lawful business purposes without time limit, unless applicable law requires otherwise.
7) Security
We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards designed to protect information. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure; we cannot guarantee absolute security.
Public contact channels are not designed for sensitive or regulated submissions. You are responsible for using appropriate secure channels and separate written agreements before sharing confidential, regulated, or high-risk information.
8) Your Choices and Rights
Depending on your location, you may have rights to request access, correction, deletion, or other actions regarding your personal information. You may also opt out of receiving non-essential communications from us.
Privacy requests may be subject to verification, legal exceptions, retention requirements, security limitations, and our need to protect rights, investigate misuse, maintain evidence, complete transactions, or comply with law. Where required by law, we will not discriminate against you for exercising applicable privacy rights.
9) International Visitors
If you access the Services from outside your country, your information may be processed in jurisdictions where we and our service providers operate.
By using the Services or contacting us, you understand that your information may be transferred to, stored in, or processed in the United States or other jurisdictions that may have different data protection rules than your location.
10) Children's Privacy
This corporate website and its public contact channel are not directed to individuals under 18, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children through them.
Separately offered child-facing platform services are outside the scope of this Privacy Policy and must be governed by product-specific privacy notices, consent requirements, and safeguards. If you believe a child has provided personal information through this corporate website, please contact us so we can take appropriate steps.
11) Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The updated version will be posted with a new Effective Date.
