Effective July 21, 2026 (Biz Sidekick)
CERDAFIED SOLUTIONS LLC
Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy explains how Cerdafied Solutions LLC (“Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) collects, uses, discloses, and protects information when you use Biz Sidekick and related services (the “Services”). By using the Services, you agree to the practices described in this Policy.
1. Information We Collect
We collect the following categories of information:
• Account information: your name, email address, and authentication details. If you sign in with Google or Apple, we receive basic profile information (such as your email) from that provider.
• Company information: company name, ZIP code, industry, employee range, and location details you provide.
• Content you provide: company documents and text you upload or import, and the questions you ask the AI assistant.
• Usage information: log data, feature usage, and diagnostic information generated while using the Services.
• Payment information: billing is processed by Stripe. We do not store full card numbers; we retain limited subscription and customer identifiers needed to manage your plan.
2. Google User Data and Google Drive
If you choose to import a document from Google Drive, we request the “drive.file” permission, which grants access only to the specific file you select using the Google Picker. We use that access solely to read the selected file and import its contents as a company document within the Services. We do not access any other files in your Google Drive. The access token is used only to complete the import you requested and is not stored afterward.
Our use and transfer of information received from Google APIs adheres to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements. We do not use Google Workspace or Drive data to develop, improve, or train generalized artificial intelligence or machine learning models.
3. How We Use Information
We use information to:
• Provide, operate, secure, and improve the Services.
• Generate AI responses using the content and questions you provide.
• Manage your account, subscription, and billing.
• Communicate with you about the Services and support requests.
• Detect, prevent, and address fraud, abuse, and security issues.
• Comply with legal obligations.
4. Service Providers and Sub-processors
To provide the Services, we share limited information with trusted third-party sub-processors that process data on our behalf under contractual data-protection obligations. Our current sub-processors are:
• Supabase — hosts our database, authentication, and secure storage for your account data and uploaded files.
• OpenAI — processes your questions and relevant document text to generate AI responses. OpenAI does not use data submitted through its API to train or improve its models.
• Stripe — processes subscription billing and payments.
• Render — provides application hosting and infrastructure.
• Google — provides optional sign-in and, if you use it, Google Drive file import.
These sub-processors are authorized to use information only as necessary to perform services for us. We do not sell your personal information. We may update this list as our providers change.
5. Data Retention and Deletion
We retain your information for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide the Services, subject to the plan limits described below. You may delete individual documents at any time from the Documents screen. You may delete your account at any time from your profile. Deleting your account permanently removes your account, company information, uploaded documents and stored files, and question history, and cancels any active subscription. Some information may be retained where required by law or for legitimate business purposes such as fraud prevention and recordkeeping.
Document library limits: each plan includes a maximum number of documents and a total storage size. Uploaded files, Google Drive / Google Docs imports, and pasted text all count toward those limits. Individual files may not exceed 25 MB. Current limits appear on the Pricing page and in your Documents screen.
Free-trial retention: if your account is on the free trial (no paid subscription), documents you upload or import — including original files, extracted text, and related search data — are retained for thirty (30) days from the date they were added, then permanently deleted. Upgrading to a paid plan keeps your existing documents without that free-trial expiration while the paid plan remains active. If a paid subscription ends and your account returns to a free tier, your remaining documents become subject to a thirty (30) day grace period and may then be permanently deleted unless you resubscribe. We encourage you to keep your own copies of any materials you upload.
6. Security
We take commercially reasonable measures to protect your information. However, no method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security. You are responsible for classifying data before upload and for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials.
7. Your Choices and Rights
Depending on your location, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or export your personal information, or to object to or restrict certain processing. You can exercise many of these rights directly in the app (for example, editing company info or deleting your account) or by contacting us. We will respond consistent with applicable law.
8. Sensitive Information
Please do not upload protected health information, government identifiers, or other highly sensitive personal data unless expressly authorized in writing by the Company. The Services are not offered as HIPAA-compliant unless a separate written agreement is executed.
9. Children’s Privacy
The Services are intended for business use by individuals who are at least 18 years old. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
10. International Users
We operate in the United States, and information may be processed and stored in the United States or other countries where our service providers operate. By using the Services, you consent to such processing.
11. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we make material changes, we will update the effective date above and, where appropriate, provide additional notice. Continued use of the Services after the effective date constitutes acceptance of the updated Policy.
