Privacy Policy

Introduction

Welcome to Vertex ("we," "our," or "us"). We are committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring the security of your data. This Privacy Policy explains how our AI-powered CSV data cleaning tool handles your information.

Data Processing

Client-Side Processing

All data cleaning and analysis occurs entirely within your web browser using JavaScript. When you upload a CSV file:

• The file is read and processed locally on your device
• No CSV data is transmitted to our servers
• All transformations and fixes are applied client-side
• You maintain complete control over your data at all times

AI Processing

Third-Party AI Services

To provide intelligent data quality analysis, we use Groq's AI API with the Llama 3.1 8B model. During analysis:

• Small sample rows (10% of your data, max 50 rows) are sent to Groq's API for analysis
• Data is sent in micro-batches (8-12 rows at a time) to minimize exposure
• Only row samples are transmitted - your complete dataset stays in your browser
• Groq processes requests according to their privacy policy
• No personally identifiable information is intentionally sent

Please review Groq's Privacy Policy to understand how they handle API requests.

We may collect the following non-personal information:

• Browser type and version

Information You Provide

We do not require registration or account creation. Any CSV files you upload are processed entirely in your browser and are not stored by us.

Cookies and Tracking

We may use cookies and similar tracking technologies for:

• Essential functionality (e.g., maintaining your session)

You can control cookie preferences through your browser settings.

Data Security

We implement industry-standard security measures including:

• HTTPS encryption for all connections

Your Rights

You have the right to:

• Access any personal information we hold about you
• Request correction of inaccurate data
• Request deletion of your data
• Object to processing of your data
• Withdraw consent at any time

Since we don't store your CSV data, most data-related rights are automatically satisfied by our architecture.

Children's Privacy

Our service is not directed to children under 13 years of age. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
