Privacy Policy

At Humble AI, we are committed to protecting the privacy of our users.

This privacy policy explains how we collect, use, and disclose information when you use our services. We collect information to provide better services to all of our users — from figuring out basic stuff like which language you speak, to more complex things like which functions you’ve found most useful, the files you use the most online, or which tools you might like.

Privacy Policy for Humans

Rather than a dense legalistic Privacy Policy, we have tried to write a summary with a clear, open and transparent Privacy Policy that an average human can understand without retaining a lawyer. Here are a few highlights:

We do not sell your personal information to anyone
We'll be open and transparent as to how we will use your information within TheHumbleAI
We do not access or view any of the information stored in your Google Sheets, Google Docs, Google Slides or Google Drive for any reasons other than intended
If any of our tools require you to share your data with us, we will request your permission as part of the workflow to inform you of what we are doing
We collect some activity information, such as which functions you use, and use this information to keep our services secure and reliable - the greater level of data access is to the benefit of the user

Google Sheets™, Google Docs™, Google Slides™ and Google Drive™ add-on permissions

Every app that Google Workspace™ approves must go through a strict security & privacy approval process, including ours.

When you first install the add-on, you'll be asked to allow access to a few basic permissions that are required for the add-on to work properly.

Permissions & access, use, store, or sharing of Google user data.

We store information such as Google Sheets Tab Name and addresses when requested by the user, however the data is not stored
We access various Google Services based on a users request, such as the generation of a Google Sheet or Presentations, and modify and access the file to do so which requires access to Google Drive and G-Suite Workspace applications
On a user's request, we will send data to an external API or third-party service, based on the operation or user function selected - this does not occur without the user's consent. The user can schedule these actions to occur, requiring this application to run when you are not present, however, the users can cancel the operation at their discretion
We will not delete any user's Google Drive file
Humble AI's use and transfer of information received from Google APIs to any other app will adhere to Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.

It is safe to give these permissions.

In summary, we won't share, sell or use your data other than for improving the services and for your intended purpose.

The following parts of the privacy policy will cover how we will treat your data.

We hope you enjoy using The Humble AI :)

The details...

Because TheHumbleAI both integrates with a variety of content imported, with your authorization, from your documents, social networks, and email applications, we take precautions to ensure that your personal information is protected

We won't sell your data
We won't spam your email or social networks
We'll be open and transparent as to how we will use your information within TheHumbleAI
TheHumbleAI integrates with some third-party platforms, to facilitate the performance of certain functions. Sometimes, in order to provide these services, we need to share necessary data with trusted third-party platforms. This sharing only happens with your explicit consent and is strictly limited to what is required to perform the requested function
The greater level of data access is to the benefit of the user

How do we use this information

We use this information to help you as the user by:

Helping you automate and orchestrate tasks directly from your spreadsheet application
Enabling you to receive and send messages and notifications wherever you work
On your request, conduct data enrichment services via our data integrations

Your privacy is important to us. This Privacy Policy explains our online information practices and the choices you can make about the way the information obtained through this and other TheHumbleAI Websites is collected and used. This Privacy Policy applies only to personal information collected by TheHumbleAI from users of our Websites. This Privacy Policy does not apply to information collected by TheHumbleAI in other ways, including offline. Our Websites contains links to other websites operated by third parties. TheHumbleAI is not responsible for the online information practices or policies of such third party websites, and this Privacy Policy does not apply to those websites.

We carry out processing under Article 22(1) for contractual purposes and we can demonstrate why it’s necessary. Our product enables individuals to better understand and search across their network, which requires us to use automated profiling to create segments of contacts and map interest or topic areas as part of the performance of our contract with our users.

What Steps Do We Take To Protect Your Information Online?

We take measures to protect your Personal Information in an effort to prevent loss, misuse and unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration and destruction. Please be aware, however, that despite our efforts, no security measures are perfect or impenetrable, and no method of data transmission can be guaranteed against any interception or other type of misuse.

TheHumbleAI is hosted by Amazon Web Services (AWS), who employ their own security measures. AWS employs industry-recognized certifications and audits: PCI DSS Level 1, ISO 27001, FISMA Moderate, HIPAA, and SAS 70 Type II. Their services and data centers have multiple layers of operational and physical security to ensure the integrity and safety of your data. You can read more about AWS security here.

What is this Privacy Policy for?

The policy sets out the different areas where user privacy is concerned and outlines the obligations & requirements of the users, the website and website owners. Furthermore the way this website processes, stores and protects user data and information will also be detailed within this policy.

GDPR Compliance

Following the definition below, the data you store in TheHumbleAI are under your control. So for the purposes of the GDPR you are the Controller and TheHumbleAI is the Processor.

‘controller’ means the natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body which, alone or jointly with others, determines the purposes and means of the processing of personal data; where the purposes and means of such processing are determined by Union or Member State law, the controller or the specific criteria for its nomination may be provided for by Union or Member State law;

As the Controller you will need what is called Lawful Basis for the processing of personal information of EU citizens. These are found in Article 6 of the GDPR and excerpted below:

Consent – the data subject has given consent to the processing of his or her personal data for one or more specific purposes.

Contract – processing is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is party or in order to take steps at the request of the data subject prior to entering into a contract

Legal Obligation – processing is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation to which the controller is subject

Vital Interests – processing is necessary in order to protect the vital interests of the data subject or of another natural person

Public Task – processing is necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller

Legitimate Interests – processing is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by the controller or by a third party, except where such interests are overridden by the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject which require protection of personal data, in particular where the data subject is a child.

Just like you will need Lawful basis for processing of EU citizen personal information, TheHumbleAI serves as the Controller for personal information we collect about you (if you are an EU citizen user of our product, TheHumbleAI, and our associated websites and mobile apps) in order for us to deliver our service to you. For example your TheHumbleAI username and password are considered personal information that TheHumbleAI controls and is necessary for us to perform our contractual obligation.

Processor

As your Processor, TheHumbleAI processes the personal data you have acquired:

‘processor’ means a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body which processes personal data on behalf of the controller;

You will need to document your Legal Basis for processing personal information of EU citizens. In some cases, if you don’t already have the proper Legal Basis you will need to acquire it through direct outreach and then document it.

Your Access and Control Over Your Information

If you would like to close down your account this will stop all data sharing and data enrichment enabled and you will lose access to all custom tags or data you input.
