1. Scope of this Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy applies to personal information that GaussIQ Inc. and its affiliates ("GaussIQ," "we," "us," or "our") collect through our website, forms, communications, recruiting activities, investor or design partner outreach, events, and other interactions that link to this Privacy Policy.
This Privacy Policy does not replace the terms of any customer, design partner, nondisclosure, data processing, or similar agreement. Where GaussIQ processes enterprise customer data on behalf of a customer or design partner, that data is governed by the applicable agreement with that organization.
2. Personal information we collect
Information you provide to us
We may collect personal information you choose to provide, such as your name, business email address, phone number, company, role, message content, investor or partner inquiry details, meeting preferences, resume or recruiting information, and any other information you submit through our website or communications with us.
Information collected automatically
When you visit our website, we may collect limited technical and usage information such as IP address, browser type, device information, referring pages, pages visited, approximate location derived from IP address, and interaction data. We use this information to operate, secure, improve, and understand use of our website.
Information from third parties
We may receive information from business contacts, investors, advisors, service providers, event organizers, recruiting platforms, public sources, or partners when they introduce you to us, help us evaluate opportunities, support recruiting, or otherwise assist our business operations.
3. How we use personal information
We use personal information for business and operational purposes, including to:
- respond to inquiries and communicate with you;
- evaluate design partner, customer, investor, and strategic opportunities;
- schedule meetings, provide information, and manage business relationships;
- operate, secure, troubleshoot, and improve our website and services;
- evaluate candidates and manage recruiting processes;
- send updates or marketing communications where permitted by law;
- protect GaussIQ, our users, customers, partners, and others;
- comply with legal obligations and enforce agreements.
5. Customer and design partner data
GaussIQ is developing an execution intelligence layer for enterprise support. In design partner or customer engagements, we may receive access to support workflows, case metadata, knowledge signals, role or skill information, operational metrics, or related enterprise data as authorized by the customer or design partner.
Unless otherwise agreed in writing, GaussIQ uses customer or design partner data only for the purpose of providing, validating, improving, securing, or supporting the relevant engagement. We do not sell customer data. We do not use customer content to train public foundation models unless expressly authorized by the customer in writing.
Specific access controls, retention periods, data export rules, sandbox constraints, production boundaries, audit requirements, and deletion obligations should be defined in the applicable customer or design partner agreement.
7. Security and retention
We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards designed to protect personal information. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
We retain personal information for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, including to provide services, maintain business records, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, enforce agreements, and support legitimate business operations.
8. Your privacy choices and rights
You may request access to, correction of, or deletion of personal information you have provided to us by contacting us using the information below. We may need to verify your identity before processing your request.
9. International transfers
GaussIQ is based in the United States and may process information in the United States and other countries where we or our service providers operate. These countries may have data protection laws that differ from those in your location. Where required, we use appropriate safeguards for cross-border transfers.
10. Children's privacy
Our website and services are intended for business users and are not directed to children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13, or under a higher age where required by applicable law.
