Privacy Policy
Last updated June 27, 2026
This Privacy Policy explains how GenArk LLC ("GenArk," "we," "us," or "our") collects, uses, discloses, and protects information when you interact with the GenArk Platform, our website at genark.ai and related properties, and our other services (collectively, the "Services"). It also describes the rights and choices available to you. Please read it together with our Terms of Service.
1. Introduction and Scope
GenArk operates an AI-native platform that combines a multi-LLM environment, multi-agent orchestration, knowledge connectors, and a governance plane to help organizations design, build, and run cloud, data, and AI/ML systems. This Privacy Policy applies to:
- Visitors to our website at genark.ai and related marketing properties;
- Prospective customers who contact us, request demos, or interact with our sales and marketing communications;
- Account owners, administrators, and Authorized Users of the GenArk Platform;
- Individuals whose information is included in Customer Content submitted to the Platform; and
- Individuals who interact with us in any other commercial context (for example, partners, suppliers, applicants, and event attendees).
2. Information We Collect
We collect information in three broad ways: information you provide directly, information generated through your use of the Services, and information from third parties.
2.1 Information You Provide
- Account information — name, business email, employer, role, password (managed by our identity provider, currently Clerk; password material is not stored by GenArk in plaintext), and account preferences;
- Billing information — billing contact, billing address, tax identifiers, and payment-instrument details (processed and stored by our payment processor; GenArk does not store full payment-card numbers);
- Customer Content — prompts, files, documents, source code, configurations, embeddings, agent specifications, policy bindings, and other content you submit to the Platform;
- Communications — messages you send through our contact form, demo-request flow, email, chat, support tickets, calls, or other channels;
- Survey, event, and marketing responses — when you opt in to research, events, or marketing programs.
2.2 Information Generated Through Your Use
- Usage data — pages visited, features used, projects created, agent runs initiated, models selected, policies configured, queries issued, files uploaded, and other interactions with the Platform;
- Device and technical data — IP address, browser type and version, operating system, device identifiers, language preference, time zone, and referring URL;
- Cookies and similar technologies — see Section 7;
- Telemetry from the Platform — agent run timing, error rates, performance metrics, latency, throughput, and resource consumption, used to operate and improve the Platform;
- Governance and audit logs — records of policy decisions (preflight and postflight), redactions applied, restricted-content blocks, and human-approval actions, stored in an append-only, hash-chained audit table for tamper evidence.
2.3 Information from Third Parties
- Identity provider data — when you sign in using single sign-on or social login, we receive the profile fields you authorize the provider to share;
- Enrichment data — for business contacts, we may receive business-card-style information (name, role, employer, business email) from data-enrichment providers or from referrals;
- Connector and integration data — when Customer authorizes a connector (for example, SharePoint, Google Drive, Amazon S3, Notion, Confluence) or an External Agent, we receive the data permitted by Customer's authorization scope, processed under the access controls Customer configures.
2.4 Sensitive Categories of Information
GenArk does not seek to collect sensitive categories of personal information (such as government identifiers, financial-account numbers, biometric identifiers, health information, precise geolocation, racial or ethnic origin, religious beliefs, or sexual orientation) in connection with our own controller-relationship with users. Customers may, however, submit such information as Customer Content where their Plan and contractual configuration permit (for example, Protected Health Information may be submitted only by Customers with an executed Business Associate Agreement and an appropriately configured Workspace).
3. How We Use Information
We use information for the following purposes, each of which is supported by a lawful basis (depending on jurisdiction): performance of a contract with you, compliance with legal obligations, our legitimate interests in operating and securing our business, or your consent.
- Provide, operate, and maintain the Services;
- Authenticate users, manage accounts, and provision Authorized Users;
- Route Inputs and Outputs to the appropriate Model and Agent based on Customer's selection and configuration;
- Enforce governance controls, including preflight and postflight policy checks, PII/PHI detection and handling, restricted-concept blocking, and the human-approval queue;
- Detect, investigate, and prevent fraud, abuse, security incidents, and violations of our Terms of Service or Acceptable Use Policy;
- Provide customer support, respond to inquiries, and communicate about the Services;
- Bill, invoice, and collect fees, and prevent payment fraud;
- Monitor, analyze, and improve performance, reliability, and quality of the Platform, using aggregated, anonymized, or de-identified data;
- Develop new features, agents, and integrations, in line with the data-use commitments in this Policy and our Terms;
- Send transactional communications and, where permitted, marketing communications (subject to your opt-out rights);
- Comply with legal obligations, respond to lawful requests from government authorities, and enforce our agreements; and
- Aggregate and de-identify information for internal analytics, benchmarking, and reporting that does not identify any individual.
4. AI Processing — How Prompts and Outputs Are Handled
Because GenArk is an AI platform, it is worth explaining specifically what happens when you use it.
4.1 The Path of a Prompt
When an Authorized User submits a prompt to a Model or runs an Agent, the prompt and any attached context are: (a) routed through GenArk's governance plane, where preflight policy checks are applied (PII redaction, restricted-concept blocking, model/region whitelisting, residency checks); (b) transmitted to the selected Model provider (or, for BYOK, to the provider using Customer's credentials); (c) returned to GenArk, where postflight policy checks are applied (output redaction, human-approval gating); and (d) made available to the Authorized User and persisted to the Workspace as a transcript and (if approved) artifact.
4.2 What Is Persisted
We persist prompts, generated outputs, agent run metadata, transcripts, artifacts, and audit-log entries within the Customer's Workspace. The retention period, scope, and visibility are governed by Customer's configuration (including project membership, scope levels, and any redaction or human-approval policies in effect).
4.3 What Is Shared with Third-Party Model Providers
When a prompt is routed to a third-party Model provider, that provider receives whatever content remains after preflight redaction and policy enforcement. The provider processes the prompt under its own terms and privacy practices. GenArk's standard configuration uses Model providers' enterprise or zero-retention tiers where available. Customers who require additional restrictions may configure model whitelisting, region restrictions, or BYOK.
4.4 Embeddings, Knowledge Bases, and Connectors
When Customer ingests documents through Atlas connectors or direct upload, GenArk processes the content into chunks and vector embeddings. Embeddings are stored in the Customer's tenant-isolated database (currently PostgreSQL with pgvector) and used for retrieval at prompt time. Customer is responsible for configuring ACL handling, scope, and retention.
4.5 Training, Improvement, and Aggregation
GenArk uses aggregated, anonymized, or de-identified information about Platform usage to monitor service quality and develop new features. We do not use identifiable Customer Content for these purposes without consent, and we do not transmit identifiable Customer Content to third parties for training or model-improvement purposes. GenArk does not develop or train its own foundation models.
4.6 Inherent Limitations of AI Outputs
Outputs are predictions, not facts. They may contain errors, fabrications, or biases, and they may vary across runs. We do not warrant the accuracy, completeness, or fitness for purpose of any Output. You should not rely on any Output for medical, legal, financial, or other regulated professional decisions without independent human review.
5. PII and PHI Detection and Handling
The Platform supports PII and PHI detection at the input and output stages. The categories detected, the action taken (off, flag, redact, block), and the workspace scope of the controls are configurable by Customer administrators through the Policy Center and PolicyBindings. Default categories include Social Security numbers, payment-card numbers, API keys, email addresses, IP addresses, and phone numbers; healthcare-grade detection (including PHI categories) is enabled when the workspace is configured for PHI processing and an executed Business Associate Agreement is in place. Customer administrators are responsible for ensuring that the detection and handling configuration matches Customer's regulatory and contractual obligations.
6. Aggregated and De-identified Information
We may aggregate, anonymize, or de-identify information in a manner that does not reasonably permit it to be associated with an identified or identifiable individual, household, or organization. Aggregated and de-identified information may be retained and used by GenArk for any lawful purpose, including for business analytics, benchmarking, and product development. We maintain such information in a form that prevents re-identification, and we will not attempt to re-identify it.
9. International Data Transfers
GenArk is based in the United States and primarily operates its infrastructure in the United States. We and our subprocessors may process personal information in the United States, in the European Union or United Kingdom (where the corresponding regional infrastructure is selected by Customer), and in other jurisdictions where our subprocessors operate. When we transfer personal information out of a jurisdiction with data-export restrictions, we rely on lawful transfer mechanisms, such as the European Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses, the UK International Data Transfer Agreement, adequacy decisions, or other recognized mechanisms.
10. Data Retention
We retain personal information for as long as needed to provide the Services, to comply with our legal obligations, to resolve disputes, and to enforce our agreements. Specific retention periods depend on the type of information and the context:
- Account information — retained for the life of the account and for a reasonable period afterward to support reactivation, billing reconciliation, and dispute resolution;
- Customer Content — retained according to Customer's configuration (workspace, project, and scope-level retention), subject to operational backups and audit-log requirements;
- Audit logs and governance records — retained on an append-only, tamper-evident basis for the period required to support security, audit, and regulatory needs (typically multiple years);
- Operational backups — retained for the period set by our backup and disaster-recovery policies, after which they are aged out in the ordinary course;
- Marketing and communications data — retained until you opt out or until retention is no longer reasonably necessary for the purpose collected;
- Information we are required to retain to comply with law — retained for the period required by law (for example, tax, accounting, and certain regulatory retention periods).
11. Security
We maintain administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect personal information against unauthorized access, use, alteration, and disclosure. These include:
- Multi-tenant isolation enforced at the database row-security layer;
- Role-based access controls and least-privilege provisioning for GenArk personnel;
- Two-gate (preflight and postflight) policy enforcement around AI model invocation;
- Append-only, hash-chained audit logging of governance decisions to support tamper evidence;
- Logging, monitoring, vulnerability management, and ongoing security testing;

13. Region-Specific Disclosures
13.1 California Residents (CCPA/CPRA)
California residents have specific rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act, as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act. These include the right to know, the right to delete, the right to correct, the right to opt out of sale or sharing, the right to limit the use of sensitive personal information, and the right to non-discrimination. We do not knowingly sell or share the personal information of consumers under 16. To exercise California rights, contact privacy@genark.ai.
13.2 Other U.S. State Privacy Laws
Residents of Virginia, Colorado, Connecticut, Utah, Texas, Oregon, Montana, Iowa, Tennessee, Indiana, Delaware, New Jersey, New Hampshire, Maryland, Minnesota, Kentucky, Rhode Island, and residents of any other state that enacts a comparable comprehensive privacy law during the term of this Policy may have rights similar to those described in Section 12. To exercise these rights, contact privacy@genark.ai.
13.3 European Economic Area, United Kingdom, and Switzerland
If you are located in the EEA, the UK, or Switzerland, you have rights under the General Data Protection Regulation ("GDPR") and the UK GDPR. Our lawful bases for processing include performance of a contract, compliance with legal obligations, our legitimate interests, and your consent (where applicable). You may lodge a complaint with your local supervisory authority. For requests, contact privacy@genark.ai.
13.4 HIPAA Notice
GenArk may act as a Business Associate to Covered Entities and Business Associates under HIPAA. When we do, our processing of Protected Health Information is governed by an executed Business Associate Agreement. Individuals whose PHI is processed should generally direct privacy and access requests to the relevant Covered Entity rather than to GenArk.
14. Children's Privacy
The Services are intended for use by individuals who are at least eighteen (18) years old or the age of majority in their jurisdiction. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under the age of thirteen (13), consistent with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act ("COPPA"). If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact privacy@genark.ai and we will take appropriate steps to delete it.
15. Third-Party Sites and Services
Our website and the Platform may link to third-party websites or services that are not operated by GenArk. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of those third parties. Customer's use of External Agents and connectors is subject to the third party's privacy practices in addition to ours.
16. Automated Decision-Making and AI Governance
GenArk does not, as a controller, make decisions producing legal or similarly significant effects on individuals using solely automated processing. The Platform supports human-approval gates, and our Acceptable Use Policy specifically prohibits using the Platform to issue autonomous denials of healthcare claims or other decisions that affect individuals' significant interests. Where Customer uses the Platform in a manner subject to AI-specific regulation — including the EU AI Act, the Colorado AI Act, California generative-AI transparency laws, and other federal or state AI laws — Customer is responsible for performing the required impact assessments, transparency disclosures, and human-oversight measures.
17. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The current version is posted at genark.ai with the "Last Updated" date noted at the top. Material changes will be communicated to the account owner via email or in-Platform notice at least thirty (30) days before they take effect. Your continued use of the Services after the effective date constitutes acceptance of the updated Policy.
