Documentation

We use the information we collect to conduct reviews of applications and/or reports, engage in communication activities, conduct, or facilitate evaluations and/or surveys, assist in managing your account, or for any other purpose(s) described to you at the time you provide your information to us. We may also use your information to analyze and improve our business processes, functions, systems, and services and to develop new ones.

We may aggregate or de-identify information so that it may no longer be used to identify you and use such information to analyze the effectiveness of our services, to improve and add features to our services, to conduct research and for other similar purposes. In addition, from time to time, we may analyze the general behavior and characteristics of users of our services and share aggregated information like general user statistics with third parties, publish such aggregated information or make such aggregated information generally available. We may collect aggregated information through the services and through other means described in this policy. We will maintain and use de-identified information in anonymous or de-identified form, and we will not attempt to reidentify the information, unless required by law. We may also use information that we collect, including de-identified applications, in connection with artificial intelligence (AI) tools used by us to provide our services and to analyze and improve our processes, functions, systems, and services.

We will retain information collected from you for as long as we deem necessary to provide you with services, to facilitate the purposes for which the information was collected, and/or as necessary to comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements.

Security

We take reasonable measures to protect your information from unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction and will de-identify and mask data when appropriate.
