Can IPRally employees see my Ask AI conversations?
No. As with other parts of the IPRally product, your data is encrypted and IPRally employees cannot see it in storage or transit.
What data does IPRally collect about my usage of the feature?
We collect statistics about usage of the feature in order to see how much it is used. We know that you asked a question but we do not know what the question was or what patent it was about. We also collect data on the lengths of the questions, lengths of the answers, and the sizes of the related patent documents.
Do you send my questions to a third party?
Yes. The current version of the Ask AI Module is implemented using Google's Gemini model. When you ask a question, we send it to Google's servers.
We won’t send data to Google or any other third party without your permission. In order to use the 'Ask AI' Module, your company’s IPRally admin user must accept the terms of the feature. After the admin user accepts the terms, they can enable the feature for your whole company.
What data do you send to Google?
We send your question, the text of the patent, some other public information about the patent (the bibliographic data), and some custom instructions that help Gemini to give better answers.
We do not send the following data: any identifiable information about you or your company (beyond what you write in the question), any of your tags, comments, or other information you’ve entered in IPRally.
How do I know if I can trust Google with our data?
Gemini runs on Google Cloud Platform, which provides enterprise-grade security that meets strict international standards, including ISO 27001 and SOC 2. Your data is encrypted both in transit and at rest, and Google is contractually bound to only process your data according to our instructions.
They can't use your data for their own purposes and must notify us promptly of any security incidents. For more, see: https://cloud.google.com/terms/service-terms
What does Google do with my data?
They feed your question to a large language model to generate the answer.
They do not use the data to train their models or claim any ownership of the data.
They may retain your question for a set time for legal purposes, but do not use the question for anything beyond that.
Does Google use my questions to train their AI?
No.
Can employees of IPRally or Google see my questions?
No.
Why do IPRally's Generative AI Terms also mention OpenAI? I thought you used a model by Google and Anthropic, not OpenAI?
We wanted to include OpenAI in the terms in case we base features on their services later. You can review the procedures of OpenAI at https://trust.openai.com/
