If you make this content publicly available or share it with third parties, please be aware that it may be stored, displayed, reproduced, published, or otherwise used or disclosed without your permission and may or may not be attributed to you.

Monitor and analyze trends, conduct internal research and development, and comply with applicable legal obligations.
Enforce any applicable terms of service and protect the Services, our rights, and the rights of our employees, users, or other individuals.

If the laws in your jurisdiction do not recognize the legal basis of legitimate interest or another specified legal basis for certain uses of your personal data, your use of the Services constitutes consent to the processing of your personal data for those purposes.

COOKIES AND TRACKING TECHNOLOGIES

As described in the above section titled, "Automatically Collected Information," we collect personal information through certain Tracking Technologies. The use of such Tracking Technologies are deemed to be a "sale" / "sharing" / "targeted advertising" under applicable laws as further described below in the section titled, "Notice of Right to Opt-Out of Sale/Sharing."

THIRD-PARTY WEBSITES AND LINKS

We may provide links to third-party websites or platforms, such as ArXiv and USPTO. If you choose to follow these links to sites or platforms that are not under our control or affiliated with us, we encourage you to review their applicable privacy notices, policies, and terms. We are not responsible for the privacy, security, or information practices of these sites or platforms.

Information you share on public or semi-public venues, such as third-party social networking platforms, may also be visible to other users of the Services and/or users of those third-party platforms without limitations on its use. Our inclusion of these links does not imply any endorsement of the content, owners, or operators of such platforms.

HOW WE DISCLOSE YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION

In the last twelve months, we have shared the following categories of personal information with the following categories of recipients for business purposes:

Company Group and Affiliate Entities
- Identifiers: Name, email address, and IP address.

Additionally, we may also disclose your information as needed to comply with applicable law or any obligations thereunder or to cooperate with law enforcement, judicial orders, and regulatory inquiries, to enforce any applicable terms of service, and to ensure the safety and security of our business, employees, and users. We do this in our legitimate interest to protect our Service and business and to comply with applicable law. If we are involved in a merger, sale, or acquisition of corporate entities or business units, the personal information we have collected from you may be part of the assets shared in connection with the due diligence process or the change of ownership.

We only use and disclose sensitive personal information for the purposes permitted under the CCPA or in accordance with your consent.

INFORMATION DEIDENTIFICATION

In our legitimate interests, we may deidentify or anonymize your information to ensure it cannot reasonably be used to infer personal details about you or be linked back to you ("Deidentified Information"). This process involves transforming data into a format that is no longer attributable to any specific individual or using information that has already been deidentified. Deidentified Information, along with data derived from further processing ("Derived Data"), may be used for various purposes, including but not limited to improving and optimizing our products and services. We ensure that any deidentified or derived data remains in its anonymized form and will not attempt to reidentify it, except as necessary to validate our deidentification methods in compliance with legal standards. We may share Deidentified Information and Derived Data with third parties, such as journal publisher, research partners, academic institutions, and other collaborators, to advance the training and performance of our AI models and enhance the quality of our product outputs.

CHILDREN'S PRIVACY

Children under the age of 18 are not permitted to use the Services. We do not intentionally seek or collect personal information from children under 18 years of age, or under the minimum age for processing personal information in regions where the age differs. If you are between the age of 18 and the minimum age required to consent to the processing of your personal information, please obtain consent from your parent or guardian before using the Services.

If we become aware that we have inadvertently collected information about a child under the age of 18 or the relevant minimum age in your jurisdiction, we will take commercially reasonable steps to delete such information. If you are a parent or guardian of a child under the applicable minimum age who has provided us with their personal information, please contact us using the information provided below to request its deletion.

DATA PROTECTION, RETENTION, AND LIABILITY

Despite our reasonable efforts to protect your information, no security measures are impenetrable, and we cannot guarantee "perfect security." Any information you send to us electronically, while using the Services or otherwise interacting with us, may not be secure while in transit. We recommend that you do not use unsecure channels to send us sensitive or confidential information.

We retain your personal information for as long as is reasonably necessary for the purposes specified in this Privacy Policy. When determining the length of time to retain your information, we consider various criteria, including whether we need the information to continue to provide you the Services, resolve a dispute, enforce our contractual agreements, prevent harm, promote safety, security and integrity, or protect ourselves, including our rights, property, or products.

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, we disclaim liability for any disputes, claims, or damages arising from the collection, use, or disclosure of your information, provided such activities have been conducted in accordance with this Privacy Policy and any applicable agreements made with you.

NOTICE OF RIGHT TO OPT-OUT OF SALE/SHARING

Our use of Tracking Technologies is deemed to be a "sale" / "sharing" / "targeted advertising" under applicable laws and may result in the disclosure of your internet or other electronic network activity with third party advertising platforms and analytics providers. To opt-out of Sale/Share please refer to the section below titled "Your Privacy Rights And Choices." Additionally, we have no actual knowledge of selling or sharing personal information of residents under the age of 16.

DATA TRANSFERS

The personal information we collect may be transferred to, stored in, processed in, or accessed from countries outside your jurisdiction of residence, as necessary for the purposes outlined in this Privacy Policy. This includes countries where our service providers or other third parties are located. Specifically, we maintain servers for the Services in the United States and have support, engineering, and other teams who may assist with the Services, including from the United States.

We process the personal information you provide by creating an account and using our Services in countries outside your jurisdiction to fulfill our contractual obligations to you and provide the Services. By using the Services and acknowledging this Privacy Policy, you consent to the transfer of your personal information to third parties (if any), which may involve cross-border transfers to regions or countries where we have databases or affiliates, particularly to the jurisdictions specified herein.

For data transfers outside the relevant jurisdiction, we implement appropriate safeguards. For instance, for UK and EEA users, we rely on the European Commission's standard contractual clauses (the "Model Clauses") or any equivalent contracts issued by the relevant UK authority, unless the transfer is to a country deemed by the European Commission or UK authorities to offer an adequate level of protection for personal information.

If you wish to inquire further about these data transfer mechanisms or request a copy of the Model Clauses, please contact us at support@deeli.ai.
