Privacy Policy

Last updated: December 26, 2025

This policy is provided in English. In case of any discrepancy between translated versions, the English version shall prevail.

1. Introduction

Welcome to Datalic ("we," "our," or "us"). We are committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring the security of your personal information. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you use our AI-powered data analytics platform.

By using Datalic, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy. If you do not agree with our policies and practices, please do not use our services.

2. Information We Collect

2.1 Account Information

When you create an account, we collect:

  • Email address
  • Name (if provided)
  • Password (securely hashed)
  • Profile information you choose to provide

2.2 Data You Upload or Connect

Depending on how you use Datalic, we may process:

Files & Cloud Sheets (CSV, Excel, Google Sheets, OneDrive)

When you upload files or connect cloud spreadsheets, we securely store your data in encrypted form to enable analysis and visualization. This data is stored on our secure servers.

Database Connections (PostgreSQL, MySQL, BigQuery, etc.)

When you connect databases, we only store your connection credentials (securely encrypted). We never store your actual database data. All queries run directly on your infrastructure in real-time, ensuring your sensitive data never leaves your servers.

2.3 Usage Information

We automatically collect:

  • Log data (IP address, browser type, pages visited)
  • Device information
  • Analytics queries you make
  • Features you use

2.4 Third-Party Integrations

When you connect third-party services (Google Sheets, OneDrive), we receive:

  • OAuth access tokens (to access your data with your permission)
  • Basic profile information (email, name) from the provider
  • List of files/spreadsheets you authorize us to access

3. How We Use Your Information

We use your information solely to provide and improve the specific features you explicitly request:

  • Provide and maintain our AI analytics services
  • Process your data queries and generate insights you request
  • Create visualizations and reports based on your instructions
  • Send service updates and support communications
  • Detect and prevent fraud or abuse
  • Comply with legal obligations

Important: Data obtained via third-party integrations (Google, Microsoft) is used exclusively to provide the user-facing features you explicitly request and is never used for analytics, advertising, profiling, or AI model training.

4. Data Security

We implement industry-standard security measures:

  • Encryption in Transit: All data is encrypted using TLS 1.3
  • Encryption at Rest: All stored data is encrypted using AES-256
  • SOC 2 Type II Certified: Regular third-party security audits
  • Access Controls: Strict role-based access to systems
  • Secure Infrastructure: Hosted on AWS with enterprise-grade security

While we strive to protect your information, no method of transmission over the Internet is 100% secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security but continuously work to improve our security measures.

5. Data Sharing

We do not sell your personal data or share it with third parties for marketing or advertising purposes.

We may share information with:

  • Service Providers: Cloud hosting (AWS), payment processing (Stripe), email services—all bound by confidentiality agreements

Google & Microsoft User Data Restriction

We do not share Google or Microsoft user data with any third parties except where strictly required to provide the core functionality you explicitly request (i.e., processing your query in real-time).
