NotateAI ("the Company", "we", "our", or "us") is a corporation organized under the laws of the State of Delaware. We respect your right to privacy and are committed to safeguarding personal information collected from annotators, evaluators, contributors, and subscribers globally.

• This Privacy Policy applies to all interactions with notatehq.ai, API endpoints, and associated web tools.
• We adhere to standard privacy principles regarding transparency, data minimization, user autonomy, and purpose limitation.

We collect personal information necessary to deliver high-precision evaluation copilot tooling and manage user accounts securely.

• Identifiers: Name, email address, username, IP address, and unique cryptographic account identifiers.
• Commercial Records: Records of token or plan purchases and transaction references (processed via certified payment gateways; we never store raw credit card numbers).
• Internet Activity: Session interactions, latency telemetrics, model preference selections, and browser user-agent signatures.
• Evaluator Context Data: Task evaluation prompts, benchmark comparison logs, and synthetic critique inputs entered into the evaluation sandbox.

We utilize user data solely to provision inference, calculate token balances, detect abuse or security threats, and optimize responsiveness.

• We DO NOT sell your personal information or evaluation prompts to third-party data brokers or advertisers.
• We DO NOT use proprietary customer evaluation tasks to train public open-weights foundation models without explicit affirmative consent.
• Evaluation prompts transmitted to third-party model inference providers are passed via enterprise zero-retention API configurations wherever available.

Depending on your state or jurisdiction of residence, you may possess specific statutory rights regarding your personal information under applicable state and federal laws.

• Right to Know & Access: You have the right to request disclosure of the specific categories of personal data collected, sources, and commercial purposes.
• Right to Delete: You have the right to request erasure of your personal data, subject to legal compliance, fraud prevention, and operational retention exceptions.
• Right to Correct: You may request rectification of inaccurate personal details stored in your account profile.
• Right to Opt-Out of Sale / Sharing: Because we do not sell or share personal data for cross-context behavioral advertising, your personal data is not monetized.
• Non-Discrimination: We will never deny service, charge different prices, or alter service quality for exercising your statutory privacy rights.

Our systems and secure databases utilize AES-256 encryption at rest and TLS 1.3 encryption in transit. Infrastructure operations adhere strictly to industry-standard cybersecurity compliance frameworks.

• Database backups and storage are secured in top-tier United States data facilities.
• To exercise your privacy rights or submit a verifiable inquiry, email doe@notatehq.ai with the subject line "Privacy Rights Request".

NotateAI is intended for legal, professional, and ethical AI evaluation assistance. Permitted activities include evaluating multi-model responses, cross-examining machine hallucinations, validating image/video annotation boundaries, and sharpening evaluation rubrics.

• Assisting human annotators in formulating rigorous, evidence-based critique.
• Conducting comparative model benchmark analysis across supported LLM clusters.
• Testing synthetic reviewer rubrics within approved educational or freelance workflows.

You agree that you will not use NotateAI to generate, store, or transmit content that violates applicable federal, state, or international laws.

• Malicious Prompts: Crafting jailbreaks designed to bypass foundation model safety guardrails or generate instructions for cyberattacks, weapons, or physical harm.
• Exploitative Content: Generating child sexual abuse material (CSAM), non-consensual sexual imagery, or harassment vectors.
• Automated Abuse: Using unauthorized scrapers or bots to artificially exhaust evaluation quotas or spoof referral rewards.
• Identity Spoofing: Impersonating platform staff, research labs, or other evaluators.

Users shall not decompile, reverse engineer, disassemble, or derive the underlying source code, proprietary algorithms, or evaluator logic of NotateAI.

• You may not probe, scan, or test the vulnerability of NotateAI infrastructure without written authorization.
• You may not resell, sub-license, or redistribute platform API access without an approved enterprise partnership.

NotateAI maintains automated safety monitoring and compliance auditing. Suspected violations may result in token forfeiture, temporary account suspension, or permanent termination.

• Serious violations involving criminal endangerment will be reported to appropriate law enforcement authorities.
• Inquiries or appeals may be submitted to doe@notatehq.ai within 14 calendar days of sanction notice.

Frontier artificial intelligence relies fundamentally on human judgment for alignment and truth. NotateAI exists to augment human cognitive clarity, not to replace thoughtful human evaluation with unverified synthetic regurgitation.

• The annotator remains solely responsible for the accuracy and veracity of any final evaluation submitted to contracting platforms.
• Copilot analysis should be treated as an advisory second opinion, subject to human scrutiny and verification.
• Evaluators must actively verify model citations and facts before adopting them into client justifications.

Submitting automated, unverified LLM output as genuine human evaluation degrades model training datasets and directly endangers evaluator platform standings.

• Never copy-paste raw LLM outputs into third-party evaluation rubrics without critical review.
• Utilize the multi-model comparison tools to identify subtle logic discrepancies rather than accepting first-pass claims.
• Maintain independent domain expertise in your specialized annotation modalities (coding, math, creative writing, video analysis).

Third-party contracting evaluation platforms enforce detailed, project-specific rubrics. Annotators must ensure that custom client constraints supersede generic model assumptions.

• Where client rubrics mandate specific formatting, follow client specifications without deviation.
• Respect client confidentiality: never upload confidential source code or unreleased client model outputs into unapproved public chat sandboxes.

NotateAI enforces defense-in-depth cybersecurity protocols engineered to protect customer workloads against interception, unauthorized extraction, and loss.

• Encryption in Transit: All data exchanged with our servers is protected with TLS 1.3 protocols utilizing modern cipher suites.
• Encryption at Rest: Database volumes, user records, and session tokens are encrypted using AES-256 standard encryption keys managed via hardware security modules.
• Zero-Trust Architecture: Internal access to production infrastructure requires multi-factor authentication, device authorization, and just-in-time privilege escalation.

We collaborate strictly with certified cloud hosting providers and enterprise AI model clusters that adhere to rigorous data protection standards.

• Cloud Hosting: Tier-IV data centers located within the United States with SOC 1, SOC 2, and ISO 27001 certifications.
• Payment Gateways: Certified PCI-DSS Level 1 payment processors handle all credit card transactions.
• Zero Retention Agreements: We negotiate zero-day retention and non-training terms with upstream model providers whenever technically supported.

In accordance with applicable federal and state data breach notification laws (including Delaware and other relevant jurisdictions), in the event of an unauthorized security incident compromising personal information, the Company will notify affected users and regulatory authorities without unreasonable delay as required by law.
