Privacy Policy

Effective Date:

Nacre Systems Inc. ("Nacre," "we," "us," or "our") respects your privacy and is committed to being transparent about how information is collected and used through our website, products, services, and related communications.

This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, how information may be used to improve our machine-learning models, how long information is retained, and the choices and rights available to you.

By using our website or submitting information through our services, you acknowledge the practices described in this Privacy Policy.

01Information We Collect

We may collect the following categories of information.

Information You Provide

You may provide information directly to us when you:

  • contact Nacre;
  • request information or a demonstration;
  • submit a form;
  • communicate with our team;
  • participate in a pilot or evaluation; or
  • provide information to or interact with our services.

This information may include your:

  • name;
  • email address;
  • company name;
  • job title;
  • telephone number;
  • communications with Nacre; and
  • information, files, data, or other content you voluntarily submit.

Information Collected Automatically

When you visit our website, certain technical information may be collected automatically, such as:

  • IP address;
  • browser and device type;
  • operating system;
  • referring pages;
  • pages visited;
  • date and time of access; and
  • website performance and diagnostic information.

We use this information primarily to operate, secure, maintain, and improve our website and services.

02How We Use Information

We may use information to:

  • provide and operate our website and services;
  • respond to inquiries and requests;
  • communicate with prospective and existing customers;
  • provide demonstrations, pilots, support, and technical services;
  • analyze and improve the performance of our products;
  • develop and improve our machine-learning models and algorithms;
  • conduct research and product development;
  • detect fraud, misuse, security incidents, or technical problems;
  • comply with legal obligations; and
  • protect the rights, property, and security of Nacre, our customers, and others.

03Use of Data for Machine-Learning Model Training

Nacre develops machine-learning systems designed to understand, predict, and improve manufacturing and industrial processes.

Information or data submitted through certain Nacre services may be used to train, evaluate, validate, test, or improve Nacre's machine-learning models, algorithms, and analytical systems.

Where appropriate, we seek to minimize the amount of personal information used for these purposes and may remove, transform, aggregate, or pseudonymize identifying information before model training.

We Do Not Retain Submitted Training Data

Nacre does not retain the underlying data submitted for model training after the applicable processing or training operation has been completed, unless retention is:

  • specifically requested or authorized by the customer;
  • necessary to provide a separately agreed service; or
  • required by applicable law.

Although the underlying submitted data is not retained, machine-learning systems may retain generalized mathematical relationships, parameters, weights, statistical patterns, or other learned representations produced through the training process.

These generalized model outputs are not intended to reproduce, identify, or expose the original information submitted by any particular user or customer.

Nacre does not intentionally use model training to reconstruct or reveal confidential or personally identifying information about individual users.

04Customer and Confidential Business Data

Nacre recognizes that industrial and manufacturing data may contain confidential business information even when it does not constitute personal information.

Where information is provided to Nacre under a separate customer agreement, pilot agreement, nondisclosure agreement, data-processing agreement, or similar contract, that agreement may establish additional restrictions governing the information.

In the event of a conflict between this Privacy Policy and a specific contractual commitment governing confidential customer data, the applicable contractual terms will control to the extent provided in that agreement.

05Data Retention

We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, including to provide services, respond to communications, maintain appropriate business records, protect our systems, and comply with legal obligations.

Different categories of information may therefore have different retention periods.

As described above, data submitted for model training is not retained following completion of the applicable processing or training operation, except where otherwise authorized, contractually agreed, or legally required.

Information submitted through ordinary business communications, such as contact forms or email correspondence, may be retained for as long as reasonably necessary to maintain our business relationship and records.

06How We Share Information

We do not sell your personal information.

We may disclose information to service providers or contractors that assist us with activities such as:

  • cloud infrastructure;
  • website hosting;
  • cybersecurity;
  • communications;
  • analytics;
  • data processing; and
  • professional services.

These providers may process information only as appropriate to perform services for Nacre and subject to applicable contractual and legal requirements.

We may also disclose information where reasonably necessary to:

  • comply with applicable law, regulation, court order, or legal process;
  • protect Nacre's legal rights;
  • investigate fraud, misuse, or security incidents;
  • protect the safety of individuals; or
  • facilitate a merger, financing, acquisition, reorganization, or sale of all or part of our business.

07Cookies and Similar Technologies

Our website may use cookies and similar technologies that are necessary for website functionality, security, performance, and analytics.

You may be able to control cookies through your browser settings. Disabling certain cookies may affect the operation of portions of our website.

Where required by applicable law, we will obtain consent before using non-essential cookies or similar technologies.

08International Data Processing

Nacre Systems Inc. is a United States company.

If you access our website or services from outside the United States, your information may be transmitted to and processed in the United States or other countries in which Nacre or its service providers operate.

Privacy and data-protection laws in those jurisdictions may differ from the laws of your country.

Where applicable, Nacre will take reasonable measures to provide appropriate safeguards for international transfers of personal information and comply with applicable cross-border data-transfer requirements.

09Users in the Republic of Korea

If you are located in the Republic of Korea, Nacre will process personal information in accordance with applicable requirements of the Korean Personal Information Protection Act ("PIPA") where the law applies to our activities.

Where required, information regarding an overseas transfer of Korean personal information may include:

  • the categories of personal information transferred;
  • the country to which the information is transferred;
  • the recipient of the information;
  • the purpose of the transfer and processing;
  • the method and timing of the transfer;
  • the applicable retention period; and
  • available rights or methods for objecting to the transfer.

Where user-submitted information may be used for machine-learning development or training, Nacre seeks to provide clear notice of that use through this Privacy Policy, applicable product interfaces, contractual documentation, or other appropriate notices.

Korean users may have rights under applicable law to request access, correction, deletion, suspension of processing, or other actions concerning their personal information.

10Your Privacy Rights

Depending on where you live and the laws applicable to Nacre's processing activities, you may have the right to:

  • request information about personal information we maintain about you;
  • request access to your personal information;
  • request correction of inaccurate information;

11California Privacy Rights

California residents may have additional rights under applicable California privacy laws, including rights to request information regarding personal information collected about them, request deletion or correction, and exercise rights concerning certain disclosures, sales, or sharing of personal information.

Nacre does not sell personal information.

Nacre also does not use personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising unless separately disclosed.

Where the California Consumer Privacy Act or similar laws apply to Nacre, eligible individuals may exercise their applicable rights through our inquiry form.

12Security

We use reasonable administrative, organizational, and technical safeguards designed to protect personal information against unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, destruction, or misuse.

However, no electronic transmission or information-storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

Users should avoid submitting information that is unnecessary for the operation of the requested service.

13Children's Privacy

Nacre's website and services are intended primarily for businesses and professionals and are not directed toward children.

We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under the age of 13 through our website.

If we become aware that we have collected such information without appropriate authorization, we will take reasonable steps to delete it.

14Third-Party Websites

Our website may contain links to websites or services operated by third parties.

Nacre is not responsible for the privacy, security, or content practices of those third-party websites. We encourage users to review the privacy policies of third-party services before providing information to them.

15Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy periodically to reflect changes in our services, technology, business practices, or applicable law.

When we make material changes, we will update the "Effective Date" at the beginning of this Privacy Policy and provide additional notice where required by applicable law.

We will not materially expand the ways in which previously collected personal information is used for model training or other unrelated purposes without providing appropriate notice or obtaining consent where required by law.
