Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy applies to information that identifies, relates to, describes, can reasonably be associated with, or can reasonably be linked to an identified or identifiable person (“Personal Information,” “personal data,” or similar terms under applicable law).

This Privacy Policy does not replace any separate written agreement between Atlensa and a customer, including any master services agreement, software-as-a-service agreement, order form, data processing addendum, business associate-style agreement if ever applicable, confidentiality agreement, letter of intent, pilot agreement, beta agreement, or other written contract. If there is a conflict between this Privacy Policy and a written customer agreement about Customer Content or business-confidential information, the written customer agreement will control to the extent of the conflict.

When a customer, user, or authorized representative uploads, submits, imports, generates, or stores files, reports, field data, prompts, comments, annotations, source documents, or other materials through the Services, that information is ‘Customer Content’ and is referred to as ‘Customer Data’ in our Terms of Service.

Customer Content may include, without limitation:

1. Wetland delineation reports, draft reports, final reports, appendices, exhibits, maps, figures, tables, agency forms, permit applications, site plans, and supporting documentation.
2. Field data, soil borings, hydrology notes, vegetation surveys, wetland data sheets, field observations, GPS points, geospatial coordinates, photographs, maps, parcel information, property information, site descriptions, project descriptions, and environmental observations.
3. Agency comments, regulatory correspondence, reviewer notes, consultant notes, client comments, internal QA/QC notes, checklists, permitting timelines, regulatory requirements, and resubmission materials.
4. Phase I ESA materials, NEPA-related materials, EIS or EA materials, endangered species-related materials, habitat review materials, compliance materials, and other environmental deliverables if those products are made available.
5. Prompts, instructions, edits, redlines, user feedback, model outputs, generated text, generated summaries, inconsistency flags, compliance flags, and system-generated drafts.
6. Business-confidential information belonging to a customer, the customer’s client, a project owner, developer, consultant, agency, or other third party.

Atlensa generally processes Customer Content to provide the Services to the relevant customer and its authorized users. Customer Content may contain Personal Information, but the customer is usually responsible for deciding what Customer Content is submitted to the Services and for obtaining any required permissions, consents, notices, and rights.

Depending on the context, Atlensa may act as a “controller,” “business,” or similar role for information such as account information, website information, billing information, marketing information, support information, and usage analytics.

Atlensa may act as a “processor,” “service provider,” “contractor,” or similar role when processing Customer Content on behalf of a business customer under a written agreement. In that case, we process Customer Content according to the customer’s instructions, the relevant agreement, and applicable law.

The Services are intended for business and professional use by environmental consultants, engineering firms, permitting professionals, project owners, developers, agencies, and related organizations. The Services are not intended for personal, household, consumer, children’s, medical, patient-care, credit, employment-screening, insurance-underwriting, or tenant-screening purposes unless Atlensa expressly agrees in a separate written agreement.

We may collect information used to create, manage, authenticate, secure, and support accounts, including:

1. Name.
2. Business email address.
3. Business phone number.
4. Job title.
5. Employer, company, agency, or organization.
6. Department, role, permissions, and workspace membership.
7. Username, password hash, authentication credentials, single sign-on identifiers, multi-factor authentication settings, and access tokens.
8. Profile settings, preferences, notification settings, and communication preferences.
9. Workspace, tenant, organization, team, or project identifiers.
10. Other information you or your organization provide during onboarding, early access, beta access, pilot setup, or support.

We collect Customer Content that users submit, upload, generate, import, or make available through the Services. This may include reports, draft documents, supporting documents, field data, site data, maps, correspondence, comments, instructions, prompts, annotations, model outputs, reviews, edits, and related materials.

Customer Content may include Personal Information about users, employees, consultants, client representatives, property owners, reviewers, agency staff, contractors, project stakeholders, or other people appearing in project materials. It may also include property-level information, location information, geospatial coordinates, signatures, professional licenses, business contact details, or other sensitive business information.

Because Atlensa provides AI-enabled workflows, we may collect and process:

1. Prompts, commands, queries, instructions, and user requests.
2. Uploaded files and extracted text, tables, figures, metadata, or document structure.

This may include information about your browser, device, pages visited, referring website, campaign source, search terms, clicks, form submissions, session activity, and approximate location. We may use this information to operate the website, understand interest in Atlensa, improve content, measure campaigns, prevent abuse, and, where permitted, conduct marketing and retargeting.

We may collect billing and commercial information, including:

1. Billing contact name and email.
2. Billing address.
3. Subscription plan, seat count, usage tier, contract terms, purchase history, order forms, invoices, payment status, and renewal information.
4. Tax information, transaction identifiers, payment processor identifiers, and payment confirmation information.

If a customer or user connects Atlensa to a third-party service, imports data from a third-party service, uses single sign-on, enables an integration, or authorizes Atlensa to access another system, we may collect information made available through that integration.

Examples may include cloud storage files, email attachments, project management records, document management systems, permitting portals, regulatory databases, GIS systems, CRM systems, authentication providers, data rooms, or other business systems. The information collected depends on the permissions granted and the configuration selected by the customer or user.

We may collect information from public or third-party sources to operate, improve, or expand the Services. This may include:

1. Public agency websites, regulatory materials, statutes, rules, ordinances, guidance documents, manuals, regional supplements, checklists, permit forms, and other public regulatory information.
2. Public records, meeting materials, agendas, minutes, public comments, agency correspondence, public project materials, and public filings.
3. Business directories, professional profiles, company websites, public contact information, and market research sources.
4. Information provided by customers, partners, advisors, consultants, contractors, or other third parties.
5. Data used to maintain regulatory knowledge bases, compliance logic, citations, retrieval systems, and product functionality.

Public or third-party source information may contain Personal Information, including names, business contact details, professional roles, public comments, or agency contact information.

If you apply for a job, contractor role, advisor role, partnership, or similar relationship with Atlensa, we may collect information such as your resume, work history, education, portfolio, references, interview notes, compensation expectations, work authorization, background information where lawful, and communications with us.

11. Send service-related communications, including security notices, administrative messages, product updates, and support responses.

We use information to understand, develop, improve, test, and secure the Services, including to:

Atlensa may use AI systems, machine learning models, large language models, document extraction tools, retrieval-augmented generation systems, embeddings, classification systems, OCR tools, and related technologies to provide and improve the Services.

Unless a customer agreement states otherwise, Atlensa may process Customer Content, prompts, outputs, usage data, feedback, and related metadata as reasonably necessary to provide, maintain, secure, troubleshoot, and improve the Services.

However, Atlensa does not permit third-party AI providers to use Customer Content to train or fine-tune their general foundation models, unless the customer expressly authorizes that use in a separate written agreement or the content has been aggregated or de-identified so that it no longer identifies the customer, its users, its clients, projects, properties, or individuals.

Atlensa may use de-identified, anonymized, aggregated, or statistical information derived from use of the Services for product improvement, benchmarking, analytics, research, model evaluation, safety testing, performance measurement, and business purposes, provided that such information does not identify a customer, user, client, project, property owner, or individual.

Atlensa may also use feedback, suggestions, comments, ideas, corrections, examples, ratings, bug reports, and similar input provided by users to improve the Services, without obligation to provide compensation, unless a separate written agreement states otherwise.

We may use information to:

1. Respond to inquiries, demo requests, support requests, and sales communications.

To provide AI-enabled features, Atlensa may transmit Customer Content, prompts, extracted text, metadata, outputs, instructions, or related information to AI infrastructure providers, model providers, and other technical subprocessors, including providers such as OpenAI, Anthropic, or other model and infrastructure providers selected by Atlensa.

Atlensa will seek to use commercially reasonable contractual and technical controls designed to protect Customer Content and limit unauthorized use. The specific providers, features, retention settings, and training settings may vary by product, customer agreement, configuration, and time.

If your account is associated with a customer organization, workspace, team, project, or enterprise account, information may be visible to that organization and its administrators or authorized users. For example, administrators may be able to access user accounts, usage logs, audit logs, project records, Customer Content, outputs, permissions, billing information, and support communications associated with the organization.

Your organization may control access to Customer Content and may be responsible for its own privacy and security practices.

We may disclose information to third parties when a customer or user directs us to do so, including through integrations, exports, downloads, sharing features, APIs, connected services, agency submission workflows, document management systems, or other configured workflows.

Atlensa is not responsible for how third parties process information after it is exported, submitted, shared, downloaded, or transferred at the direction of a customer or user, except as required by applicable law or a separate written agreement.

We may disclose information to lawyers, auditors, accountants, consultants, insurers, banks, advisors, investors, and other professional parties as reasonably necessary for business, legal, compliance, financing, accounting, insurance, security, corporate governance, and risk-management purposes. However, we will not disclose nonpublic Customer Content to investors, potential investors, financing sources, acquirers, potential acquirers, or other corporate transaction parties except in aggregated, de-identified, or anonymized form, unless disclosure of limited Customer Content is reasonably necessary for legal, security, compliance, audit, diligence, financing, transaction, or risk-management purposes and the recipient is subject to confidentiality obligations reasonably protective of the Customer Content.

We may disclose information if we believe in good faith that disclosure is necessary or appropriate to comply with law, respond to legal process, enforce agreements, protect rights, prevent harm, investigate security incidents, prevent fraud, or protect the safety, security, confidentiality, or integrity of Atlensa, customers, users, or others.

We may disclose, transfer, or assign information in connection with an actual or potential merger, acquisition, financing, investment, reorganization, bankruptcy, receivership, sale of assets, corporate restructuring, due diligence process, or similar transaction.

For nonpublic Customer Content, we will use aggregated, de-identified, or anonymized information where reasonably practicable. We will disclose identifiable nonpublic Customer Content in connection with a corporate transaction only where reasonably necessary for legal, security, compliance, audit, diligence, financing, transaction, or risk-management purposes and subject to confidentiality obligations reasonably protective of the Customer Content.

We may disclose information to current or future affiliates, subsidiaries, parent companies, or commonly controlled entities for purposes consistent with this Privacy Policy.

We may disclose aggregated, de-identified, anonymized, statistical, or benchmarking information that does not identify a customer, user, client, project, property owner, or individual. For example, we may disclose aggregate usage trends, performance metrics, industry insights, product statistics, or benchmark data, provided such information does not reveal Customer Content or Personal Information.
