Expert.ai S.p.A., with registered offices at Rovereto (38068 - TN), Via Fortunato Zeni, n. 8, VAT number 02608970360 (hereinafter, "expert.ai") is committed to protecting the online privacy of the users of the expert.ai Natural Language ("Natural Language API") website. As such, this document (hereinafter, "Privacy Policy") has been written in order to allow you to understand expert.ai's policy regarding your privacy, and how your personal information will be handled when using our products and services, such as the Natural Language API. This Privacy Policy will also provide you with information so that you are able to consent to the processing of your personal information in an explicit and informed manner, where appropriate. It is possible to contact the Data Protection Officer (DPO) of expert.ai by writing to: dpo@expert.ai.

1. Personal information processed

As you use the Natural Language API, we inform you that expert.ai may collect and process information related to you as an individual which allows you to be identified (either directly, or together with additional information), or which is related to other individuals ("personal information"), such as your name, surname, e-mail address and/or an identification number. Please note that payment for the services provided by the Natural Language API are made through a third-party platform (depending on the country in which you are located, e.g. Paypal or others), which operates as an independent data controller and does not allow expert.ai to access your payment information, such as credit card number or other data that you must provide to complete the purchase. expert.ai will, however, use your billing information, which will be requested at the time of purchase, for any relevant tax and accounting obligations and to send you the invoice relative to your purchase.

Your personal information may be collected because you voluntarily provided it (for example, when filling out the registration form).

Personal information which may be processed through Natural Language API are as follows:

a. Name, contact details and other personal information In the registration form of the Natural Language API, you may be asked to enter information such as your name, surname, organization, e-mail address, and location.

b. Browsing data The operation of the Natural Language API, as is standard with any website on the Internet, involves the use of computer systems and software procedures, which collect information about the Natural Language API's users as part of their routine operation. While expert.ai does not collect this information in order to link it to specific users, it is still possible to identify users either directly via that information, or by using other information collected – as such, this information is also considered personal information. This information includes several parameters related to your operating system and IT environment, including your IP address, location (country), the domain names of your computer, the URI (Uniform Resource Identifier) addresses of resources you request on the website, the time of requests made, the method used to submit requests to the server, the dimensions of the file obtained in response to a request, the numerical code indicating the status of the response sent by the server (successful, error, etc.), and so on. Such information is used exclusively to compile anonymous, statistical information on the use of the website, as well as to ensure its correct operation and to identify any faults and/or abuse of the website. The information is deleted immediately after processing, unless it must be used to identify responsible parties in the event of cybercrimes which harm the website or third parties, in which case information on web contacts may be kept for a period of 365 days.
