Data Policy

How We Use Data

Sigma5C builds systems powered by data, but we treat data with care. Our approach prioritizes transparency, security, and respect for user privacy at every step of our process.

Data Sources

We use publicly available datasets, licensed APIs, and Creative Commons (CC-BY, CC0, CC-BY-SA) sources approved for commercial use. All data sources are carefully vetted to ensure proper licensing and ethical collection practices.

No Non-Commercial Data in Products

Works under CC-NC licenses are only used in internal research — never in commercial offerings. We maintain strict separation between research activities and commercial products to respect licensing restrictions and creator intentions.

Privacy First

We never sell or share personal user data. We may share aggregate, anonymized insights that cannot identify individuals. Your privacy is fundamental to our business model — we succeed by building great AI tools, not by monetizing personal information.

Consent & Transparency

Users are informed about data collection through clear consent forms and documentation. We believe in informed consent — you should always know what data we're collecting, why we're collecting it, and how it will be used.

Security Standards

All systems follow strict practices including hashing, encryption, OAuth, and secure infrastructure. We implement industry-leading security measures including end-to-end encryption, secure data transmission, and regular security audits.

By following these principles, Sigma5C ensures that the data powering our AI is responsibly sourced, securely managed, and transparently communicated.
