We use collected information to:

3. Third-Party Data Sharing

3.1 OpenAI (AI Review Feature)

Important: AI Review Data Transmission

When you opt-in to AI-powered NDA review, the complete text of your NDA (including all party details and confidential terms) is transmitted to OpenAI's API for analysis using GPT-4.1.

This means:

  • OpenAI will process your NDA content on their servers
  • Data may be subject to OpenAI's own privacy policy and data retention
  • Confidentiality protections may be waived when using this feature
  • You must obtain explicit consent before using AI review on third-party NDAs

We require explicit checkbox consent before transmitting any data to OpenAI. You can skip AI review entirely to keep your data within our platform only.

3.2 Email Service (Resend)

We use Resend to deliver magic link emails. Resend receives:

  • Recipient email addresses
  • NDA sender name
  • Secure magic link URLs (not full NDA content)

3.3 Authentication (Replit OAuth)

For paid-tier users authenticating via Replit, we receive:

  • Replit username and email

3.4 We Do NOT Sell Your Data

CyberEthix does not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties for marketing purposes.

We retain your data as follows:

  • Active Accounts: Indefinitely while account is active
  • Deleted Accounts: Soft-deleted for 90 days, then permanently purged
  • Audit Logs: Retained for 7 years for compliance purposes
