Detailed Explanation

Data Privacy Protection

1. Complete Isolation Storage

Your data only accessible by you:

User A's Data:└─ Stored in independent database partition└─ Only User A can access└─ User B can't see└─ atypica employees can't see (unless you explicitly authorize)User B's Data:└─ Stored in independent database partition└─ Only User B can access└─ User A can't seeTechnical Safeguards:✅ Database-level isolation✅ Access permission control✅ Identity verification for every query

Analogy:

Like bank safety deposit boxes:- Each customer has their own box- Only customer can open it themselves- Other customers can't see- Bank employees can't open freely

2. Not Used for AI Model Training

Clear Commitment: Your data won't be used to train AI models.

Why It Matters?

If your data trains AI:❌ Your confidential info might be "remembered" by AI❌ Other users might indirectly obtain your info through AI❌ Your competitive advantage might leakatypica's Approach:✅ Your data only used for your own research✅ Won't be used to improve AI models✅ Won't be seen by other users

Technical Implementation:

AI Processing Flow:1. You upload data → Stored under your account2. AI analyzes data → Real-time processing, not saved to model3. Generate report → Only for you, not for othersvs Wrong Approach (atypica doesn't do this):1. You upload data → Added to AI training set2. AI training → "Learns" your data3. Other users use AI → May obtain your information

3. Not Shared with Third Parties

Common Questions

Q1: Can atypica employees see my data?

Default no, unless you explicitly authorize.

Normal Situation:

atypica employees:❌ Can't freely view user data❌ System has strict access control❌ All access logged

Exceptions (require your authorization):

Only accessible in these situations:✅ You request tech support, explicitly authorize✅ Legal requirements (court subpoena)✅ System troubleshooting (need your consent)Even in these cases:- Only necessary engineers can access- Access has time limits- All operations logged- Permission revoked immediately after problem solved

Q2: Will files I upload be "remembered" by AI?

No. AI only uses in your current research, won't "remember".

Technical Principle:

You upload file → AI analyzes:1. File loaded into temporary memory2. AI analyzes content in real-time3. Generate report4. Temporary memory clearedWon't:❌ Add file content to AI training set❌ "Remember" file content for other users❌ Automatically call in other research

Analogy:

Like asking doctor questions:- Doctor reads your medical records (temporary reading)- Gives diagnostic advice- Won't memorize your records- Won't tell other patients

Q3: Will using third-party AI models (like Claude, GPT) leak data?

No, we have special privacy agreements.

Technical Safeguards:

atypica uses third-party AI models:✅ Uses enterprise API (with privacy protection agreement)✅ Explicitly prohibit AI providers from using data to train models✅ Data won't be saved or shared by AI providers✅ Complies with GDPR and SOC2 standardsvs You directly use ChatGPT:⚠️ Free version: Data may be used for training⚠️ Plus version: 30-day retention period⚠️ Enterprise version: Has privacy protection (but need enterprise account)

Partner AI Providers' Commitments:

Anthropic (Claude): Enterprise API data not used for training
OpenAI (GPT): Enterprise API data not used for training
Google (Gemini): Enterprise API data not used for training

Q4: I have a competitor also using atypica, will they see my data?

No, completely isolated.

Data Isolation Mechanism:

Your account:└─ Your data (only you can access)Competitor's account:└─ Their data (only they can access)Technical safeguards:✅ Database-level isolation✅ Strict access permission control✅ Identity verification for every query✅ Impossible to cross-access

Analogy:

Like two people both using Gmail:- Your inbox only you can access- Competitor's inbox only they can access- Even both using Gmail, can't see each other's emailsSame with atypica

Q5: After team member leaves, will data leak?

No, we have comprehensive departure process.

Data Protection Measures:

Member leaves:Step 1: Admin removes memberStep 2: Member immediately loses access rightsStep 3: System clears member's login credentialsStep 4: Member can't access any team dataAdditional protection:✅ Login credentials immediately invalidated✅ Ongoing sessions immediately terminated✅ Mobile app automatically logs out✅ Departed employee can't export team data (if permission settings)

Q6: After deleting data, will it be completely deleted?

Yes, completely deleted after 30 days.

Deletion Process:

You delete data:Day 0: Data marked as "deleted", you can't accessDay 1-29: Data retained in backups (in case need recovery from accidental deletion)Day 30: Data completely deleted from all backupsAfter complete deletion:✅ Cannot be recovered✅ We also can't recover✅ Complies with GDPR "right to be forgotten"
