Privacy Policy
Effective date:
ARCANIC TECHNOLOGIES., JSC ("Arcanic", "we", "us") provides AI solutions and related services to businesses and organizations.
This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and protect personal data when you visit our website at arcanic.ai (the "Website"), communicate with us, or use our AI solutions and related services (the "Services"). It also explains your rights and how to exercise them.
Data we process on behalf of customers. When we build or operate a solution for a business customer, we often process personal data contained in that customer's documents, systems, and user conversations on the customer's behalf. In that case, the customer decides how the data is used, and our processing is governed by our agreement with that customer. If you are an end user of a solution that one of our customers has deployed, please contact that organization with privacy questions.

We process personal data in accordance with the data protection laws that apply to us and to you. These include Vietnam's Law on Personal Data Protection No. 91/2025/QH15 and, where applicable, the EU and UK General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the data protection laws of other countries where our customers and users are located.

4. How we share personal data
We do not sell personal data. We share personal data only as follows:
- Service providers: companies that help us operate our business, such as cloud hosting, AI model providers, email, analytics, and accounting providers. They may process personal data only on our instructions and must protect it. A list of our key sub-processors is available on request at [email protected].
- Your organization: if you use the Services through your employer or another organization, that organization's administrators may access your account and content.

- Authorities: government authorities or law enforcement where required by law, or where disclosure is reasonably necessary to protect the rights, safety, or property of Arcanic, our customers, or others.
- Corporate transactions: a buyer or successor in a merger, acquisition, or sale of all or part of our business, subject to this Privacy Policy.
- With your consent: in any other case where you have agreed or instructed us to share data.
5. International data transfers
We and our service providers, such as cloud and AI model providers, may store or process data in countries other than the one where you are located. When we transfer personal data across borders, we do so in accordance with applicable law, including preparing and maintaining any required transfer impact assessments, and we put appropriate contractual and technical safeguards in place, such as standard contractual clauses where the EU or UK GDPR applies. Where a customer requires data to remain in a specific location, we agree this in the customer agreement.
6. Data retention
We keep personal data only as long as needed for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, including to provide the Services, meet legal, tax, and accounting requirements, and resolve disputes. Customer content is retained, returned, or deleted as set out in the customer agreement. When data is no longer needed, we delete it or anonymize it.
7. Security
We use technical and organizational measures designed to protect personal data against loss, misuse, and unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. These include access controls, encryption in transit, logging, and confidentiality obligations for our staff. No system is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security. If a personal data breach occurs, we will notify affected parties and authorities as required by law.

Depending on the laws that apply to you, you may have the right to:
- Be informed about how your personal data is processed;
- Give or withdraw consent, without affecting processing that took place before withdrawal;

To exercise your rights, email [email protected]. We may need to verify your identity before acting on your request. We will respond within the time required by applicable law. You can unsubscribe from marketing emails at any time using the link in each email.
We cannot always guarantee the accuracy of AI-generated Outputs. If an Output contains inaccurate personal data about you, you can ask us to correct it and we will make reasonable efforts to do so.
