Third-Parties and data supplementation

As permitted by law, Medullar might gather personal details about you from third-party sources. We might retain or link this information with the personal data we already possess about you (a process known as "data supplementation"). This assists us in refining our websites and offering superior, more personalized services. It also helps us update, grow, and analyze our records, identify new clients, and present products and services that may intrigue you.

The third-party sources we might employ have included or could encompass:

Handling of financial data

We engage third-party payment processors to manage payments made to us. During this process, we do not keep any personally identifiable or financial data, such as credit card numbers. Instead, all such information is provided directly to our third-party processors, which currently include Stripe. Stripe's privacy policy can be found at https://stripe.com/us/privacy.

Handling of marketing data

We are committed to ensuring that you receive relevant and valuable information from us. To facilitate this, we utilize the services of Constant Contact, a reputable third-party email marketing provider. When you opt-in to receive marketing emails from us, your email address is shared with Constant Contact solely for the purpose of distributing these communications.

We assure you that Constant Contact employs robust security measures to protect your data, and the platform complies with data privacy laws and regulations. The sharing of your email address with Constant Contact allows us to offer you a more personalized and efficient communication experience. It's important to note that your email address will not be used for any other purposes by Constant Contact, nor will it be shared with any additional third parties. You can always opt-out of our marketing emails at any time if you no longer wish to receive them.

The first is our primary website (www.medullar.com), where, like many websites, Medullar automatically collects specific information as you browse and engage with our landing website.

The automatically collected information may encompass:

Cookies

On www.medullar.com, we employ cookies or analogous technologies to scrutinize trends, manage our landing website, monitor user navigation, and collect demographic details about our entire user base.

In our main service, we utilize cookies solely to recognize your browser and to save the refresh token. This allows us to monitor which browsers are permitted or not within our application, enhancing your security. As a user, you can decide which browsers may access your account and which cannot.

A cookie is a tiny fragment of data placed on your device when you visit specific websites. Although you can manage the use of cookies at the individual browser level, disabling them might restrict your ability to access features or functions on our websites or services.

How and when does Medullar share my personal information with others?

Medullar may distribute your personal information to select third parties. This distribution is rooted in our association with those third parties, your approval, or legal or contractual obligations compelling us to share such information.

We may disseminate your personal information in the following ways:

  • To business partners and service providers: Including Stripe, which support our operations. These entities are contractually obligated to maintain the confidentiality of personal information and may only utilize it for the specific purposes we disclose.
  • When engaging in our community forum: Please be aware that information shared in public areas of our websites may be accessible to any user.
  • In business transitions: Such as mergers, restructuring, or asset sales, where personal information might be transferred. Notifications of ownership changes or alterations in the use of your information will be sent via email or displayed on our websites.
  • For legal compliance: Including court orders, investigations, regulatory requests, or to satisfy national security or law enforcement requirements.
  • To enforce agreements: Such as our Terms of Service, including billing and collection.
  • For protection purposes: If we deem it essential to safeguard Medullar's rights, property, or safety, or that of our subscribers or others, including fraud prevention and credit risk reduction.
  • With your consent.
  • For statistical purposes: Medullar may share aggregated data devoid of personal data with third parties.

You may access our website using sign-in services like Github, Google, or Microsoft profiles and others. These services verify your identity and allow you to share personal details like your name and email address, which we may collect as you log into our websites through these services.

Occasionally, we may link to other websites with different privacy practices. If you provide personal information to those sites, it will be governed by their privacy policies. Therefore, we urge you to review the privacy policy of any website you visit.

What is the duration of Medullar's retention of my personal information?

Medullar may hold onto your personal information for a duration that aligns with the initial reason for its collection. For example, we might keep your information as long as you have an active account to utilize our websites or services, or in accordance with the terms laid out in our subscription agreements, and for a sensible time frame following that. Additionally, your personal information may be retained during the time required for Medullar to fulfill our legitimate business goals, carry out audits, adhere to legal responsibilities, settle disputes, and implement our contractual terms.

What measures does Medullar take to secure my Information?

Medullar employs suitable technical and organizational safeguards designed to protect your personal information from accidental loss, unauthorized access, modification, or disclosure. While we put in place and maintain security protocols that align with our business practices, it's essential to recognize that no security system is foolproof or completely immune to breaches. Thus, any transmission of personal information is undertaken at your risk. You can request us the latest details about our security measures at Medullar's Security Compliance email: security@medullar.com.

Additionally, it's your responsibility to ensure the safety of your information. We cannot be held accountable if you bypass any privacy settings or security protocols on our websites. If we provide you with (or you select) a password to access specific sections of our websites, the confidentiality of this password is your responsibility. Avoid sharing your password with others.

Be cautious when divulging information in public areas of our websites, such as community forums or message boards. Any information you disclose in these areas can be accessed by any user of our websites. Since we cannot control how other users may interact with the information you choose to share, we cannot guarantee that unauthorized parties will not be able to view your contributed information.

What options and rights do I have regarding the utilization of my personal information?

When you engage with our websites, services, and marketing activities, you explicitly consent to the gathering and utilization of your personal information in accordance with this Privacy Policy. This does not interfere with lawful processing under relevant laws grounded on other legal justifications such as contractual obligations, compliance with prevailing laws, or legitimate objectives.

In situations where personal information processing is restricted in this manner, we will only process it with your consent, or for the initiation, execution, or protection of legal claims. This right includes the limitation of your personal information processing to merely include the storage of the information (e.g., during the period when Medullar evaluates whether you are eligible to have your personal information erased).

While we believe we can substantiate such compelling legitimate reasons, we will assess each situation individually.

Should you wish to object to the processing of your personal information, you can sign into the relevant Website or Service and reach out to us through the Support Center or email us at the address provided in the Contact Information section above.

California Privacy Provisions

Under California Civil Code Section ยง 1798.83, users residing in California who utilize our websites and services may choose to prevent the sharing of their personal information with third parties for direct marketing objectives. To initiate this request, you can sign into the relevant website or service and contact us through the Support Center or email us at the address provided in the Contact Information section above.

Please be aware that even if California residents opt to restrict the sharing of personal information, they may continue to receive specific offers directly from us, as permitted by law.

Handling of DO-NOT-TRACK (DNT) features

Many web browsers, as well as some mobile operating systems and applications, offer a Do-Not-Track ("DNT") option or setting that you can enable to indicate your preference to prevent your online browsing activities from being tracked and recorded. However, as of now, there is no established uniform standard for recognizing and implementing DNT signals. Therefore, we currently do not acknowledge or respond to DNT signals from browsers or any other mechanism that automatically conveys your choice to opt-out of online tracking. Should a universally accepted standard for online tracking be developed and become obligatory in the future, we will update this privacy notice to reflect our adherence to that standard.

Use of Large Language Models (LLMs)

At Medullar, we leverage the capabilities of Large Language Models (LLMs) to enhance the user experience and improve the relevancy of our federated search results. Specifically, we utilize LLMs for the following purposes:

  • Natural Language Query Translation: We use the LLM ChatGPT to translate user queries expressed in natural language into structured search queries that can be executed across our federated data sources. This allows users to search using conversational language rather than complex query syntax.
  • Result Relevancy Ranking: We employ the LLM Cohere to analyze and rank the relevancy of search results based on the user's query intent and context. This helps surface the most pertinent information to the user.

We take data privacy and security very seriously when utilizing LLMs. We have implemented robust safeguards to prevent the inadvertent disclosure of sensitive information:

  • Secure Data Transfer: All data transmitted to and from the LLM providers is encrypted in transit using industry-standard protocols to protect against unauthorized access.
  • Anonymized Inputs: User queries and data are anonymized and stripped of any personally identifiable information before being processed by the LLMs to prevent potential privacy leaks.
  • Restricted Model Access: Our LLM integrations are configured with strict access controls, allowing only authorized components within our application to interact with the models
  • Compliance Monitoring: We continuously monitor our LLM usage to ensure compliance with data protection regulations and maintain transparency around how personal data is processed.

We are committed to leveraging cutting-edge technologies like LLMs while upholding the highest standards of data privacy and security for our customers.

Will this document be updated?

We reserve the right to modify this privacy notice at our discretion. Any changes will be marked by a revised date, and the new version will become effective immediately upon being made available. Should we implement significant alterations to this notice, we may choose to inform you by either prominently displaying an announcement about the changes or by directly contacting you with a notification. We advise you to regularly review this privacy notice to stay informed about how we are safeguarding your information.
