AlphaSense publishes a GDPR and CCPA-style website privacy policy with a fully enumerated data-subject rights menu and named international-transfer safeguards (standard contractual clauses and adequacy). It states that no Google Workspace APIs are used to train AI or ML models on customer data or inputs, and that customers can purge their data. The policy gives no retention timelines, no breach-notification process, and no named security standard or certification, and it offers no training opt-out beyond the customer-data carve-out. The score and the C grade are defensible and survive adversarial review.
What AlphaSense's privacy policy says about your data
Full rights menu
Section 3 grants access, rectification, deletion, restriction, objection, withdrawal of consent, and data portability in a common, machine-readable format, covering every core data-subject right.
No training on customer data
The data management clause states that no Google Workspace APIs are used to develop, improve, or train generalized AI or ML models on customer data or inputs, and that customers can purge their data.
Named transfer safeguard, no-sell with opt-out
Transfers from the UK or EEA rely on standard contractual clauses or an adequacy decision. The CCPA section says AlphaSense does not sell data, though it treats interest-based advertising as a sale that users can disable through a do-not-sell cookie opt-out.
Vague retention, silent on breach
Retention is described only as keeping data as long as it is actually needed, with no day-count and no destruction timeline. Security measures are generic with no named encryption standard, and breach notification is not addressed anywhere in the policy.
What the policy is silent or vague on
- Not stated: a way to opt out of training
- Not stated: whether training use differs by plan
- Not stated: shorter retention for AI conversation logs
- Not stated: disclosure that you are interacting with AI
