2.3 Information from Third Parties

  • If our website integrates any third-party features (e.g., scheduling tools, specialized plugins, or share buttons), those third parties may collect information about your interaction with their services. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of such third parties, and we encourage you to review their respective privacy policies.

3. HOW WE USE YOUR INFORMATION

We may use personal information for the following purposes:

  • To provide and maintain services: Process orders, payments, and transactions. Set up and manage your user account on GeoForge or related Services. Deliver relevant geospatial analysis, location intelligence, or any requested solution.

  • To improve our services: Analyze user behavior, site traffic, and usage patterns for product development and enhancements. Debug and troubleshoot problems to ensure functionality and security.

  • To communicate with you: Respond to your inquiries, support requests, or feedback. Send important administrative or transactional emails (e.g., payment confirmations, technical notices). Provide updates on new features, promotional offers, or other information you’ve opted to receive. You can unsubscribe from marketing communications at any time.

  • To enforce legal obligations: Comply with Swiss law and other applicable legal or regulatory obligations. Investigate or prevent fraud, security threats, or misuse of our Services.

  • Data processing: When you use GeoForge, any prompts or geospatial data you submit may be temporarily processed by our secure environment and, in certain cases, by third-party LLM providers. We take steps to ensure your data remains confidential and is not used to train external AI models without your consent.

4. SHARING AND DISCLOSURE OF INFORMATION

We do not sell or rent your personal information. We only share your data in the ways described below:

  • Within Ageospatial: Access is limited to employees and contractors who need to know the information to fulfill your requests or provide our Services.

  • Service providers: We may share information with third parties that help us operate our business (e.g., payment processors, cloud hosting, analytics, AI model providers). Each service provider is contractually obligated to protect your data and only process it according to our instructions.

  • Legal compliance and protection: We may disclose information to law enforcement or regulatory agencies if required to do so by law or in response to valid requests (e.g., subpoenas).

  • Business Transfers: In the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of all or a portion of our assets, personal information may be transferred as part of that transaction. We will notify you of any such change in ownership or transfer of assets.

  • With your consent: If you request or direct us to share information with a third party for any reason not covered above, we will disclose it only with your explicit consent.

7. DATA SECURITY AND RETENTION

  • Security measures: We employ industry-standard security measures (e.g., encryption, firewalls) to protect your personal information from unauthorized access, alteration, or disclosure. Despite our efforts, no security measure is perfect. We cannot guarantee absolute security of your data.

  • Data retention: We retain personal data only as long as necessary for the purposes outlined in this Privacy Policy or as required by law (e.g., tax, accounting, legal requirements). When there is no longer a legitimate business need or legal requirement, we will either delete or anonymize your personal information.

8. INTERNATIONAL TRANSFERS

Because we are headquartered in Canton of Vaud, Switzerland and use cloud-based service providers, your information may be transferred and stored on servers in countries outside your own. When we transfer personal data across borders, we take steps to ensure your information receives an adequate level of protection, for example through standard contractual clauses (SCCs) or equivalent mechanisms in compliance with the Swiss and EU data protection regulations.

9. ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE

We use AI and large language models (LLMs) to automate certain geospatial analysis tasks through our GeoForge platform. In processing your prompts or user-uploaded geospatial data:

  • We strive to ensure that any confidential or proprietary data you upload or provide remains private and is not used to train or improve external AI models without your explicit consent.

  • We may use third-party AI service providers who have their own privacy and data handling terms. We make every effort to ensure such providers follow privacy standards consistent with this Policy.

10. LINKS TO OTHER SITES

Our website or Services may contain links to third-party websites or integrations. We do not control these external sites and are not responsible for their privacy practices. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any site you visit.

11. CHANGES TO THIS PRIVACY POLICY

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in technology, law, or our business operations. When we do so, we will revise the “Last Updated” date at the top of this page. We encourage you to review this page periodically for the latest information.
