How Originality.ai Treats Your Content

Examples of how Originality.ai approaches content:

Your content is encrypted

Originality.ai uses industry-leading encryption protocols to protect your personal information. Our Transport Layer Security (TLS), electronic (HTTPS over TLS encryption), ensures that any data you send to the site from your browser is secure and unauthorized parties cannot intercept it while it’s on the way.

We don’t share personal information

Originality.ai also never discloses personal information to third parties except in situations in which a reasonable person would expect it to be disclosed. 

For example, if we hired a third party to provide customer support, like a help desk service, we would share information with them as part of the working agreement to ensure users get the best possible help and support whilst using the platform.

However, if it is necessary to share data with third-party contractors, such as the example of a customer support agent, we require them to treat this information with the same level of confidentiality as we do.

We believe that protecting personal data online is more important than ever before, and we reflect that in our processes.

We never sell personal information.

We do collect some information, such as cookies, for website analytics. However, every user has the ability to opt out of those cookies (in accordance with specific regional laws).

We never sell customer information to third parties.

Content and AI training 

When you upload content to the Originality.ai site, you opt-in to allow us to keep and use an anonymized version (read our Terms and Conditions for more information) for testing and training. 

We do this to improve our AI detection, plagiarism checking, and fact-checking tools for training purposes to ensure that Originality.ai’s tools continue to provide you with the best customer experience as an industry leader.

However, we highly value transparency and user control, so it is your choice whether or not to opt-in or opt-out of data use for training.

Why It’s Important to Check How Companies Use Your Content

It’s absolutely critical to understand how any company uses your content for several reasons. Many users click to accept cookies, and it may not be clear how different brands use this feature.

To the standard internet user, it is easy to fall into the trap of thinking that all websites are created equally and that “Accepting Cookies” is a broad term that covers the same aspects on every site, but that is not the case.

Here are some of the main reasons why you must check how companies are using your content:

  • To protect your intellectual property and ensure it isn’t being used without proper authorization.
  • To maintain content integrity and prevent unauthorized modifications to your original work.
  • To avoid getting misrepresented and prevent your content from being used in a way that could damage your credibility.
  • To control any monetization of your content and ensure it isn’t being used by other parties to make money.
  • To ensure your personal data is used in a way that complies with regional data laws and regulations.
