This Privacy Policy explains how fileAI Pte. Ltd (“we,” “us,” “our”), collects, uses, shares, and protects personal data when you visit our website at www.file.ai (the “Site”) or use our cloud-based AI and document automation platform and related services (the “Services”). It also describes your rights regarding your personal data and how to exercise them. This Privacy Policy applies to: (a) visitors to the Site; (b) individuals who create accounts and subscribe to the Services through our self-serve channel; and (c) users who access the Services on behalf of an organisation that has subscribed to our Services. It should be read together with our Legal Terms available at www.file.ai/legal-terms and our Data Processing Agreement (“DPA”) available at www.file.ai/dpa, which applies when we process personal data on behalf of our business customers.

If you are a business customer: when you upload documents or data to the Services that contain personal data belonging to your own customers or employees, we process that data as a data processor on your behalf under our DPA, not as a data controller under this Privacy Policy. This Privacy Policy governs our processing of personal data about you as an individual — for example, your account data, billing information, and usage data.
