1.2 Security for Customer Data within the Services
Vesence prioritizes security across its Services and has implemented measures to protect Customer Data:
- Each of the Services supports Single Sign-On (SSO) for secure and seamless access.
- The Customer Data is only processed instantaneously and deleted ongoing within the Services, meaning that no Customer Data is retained within the Services, except for Customer Data included in so-called "agents" created by the Customer (only applicable to the Vesence Web App), which will be retained until deleted by the Customer.
- All Customer Data processed by Vesence on Customer's behalf is processed strictly within the EU/EEA, adhering to regional privacy standards.
- Vesence ensures that Customer Data is not used for training purposes, maintaining the confidentiality of the information. However, Vesence may collect, use and disclose quantitative data derived from the Customer's use of Services (such as statistics regarding the features used), for industry analysis benchmarking, analytics, marketing, and other business purposes. In order for Vesence to technically derive such data, Vesence must temporarily collect information about the User's email and name from which the data originates. This personal data will be anonymized or deleted when it is no longer required for Vesence purposes listed above.
- Customer Data is encrypted both during transmission and when stored.
- Vesence has a SOC 2 Type II attestation report.
1.3 Technical requirements
The Customer agrees that the installation and use of the Services are subject to the following technical requirements, or any other instructions as communicated from time to time by Vesence:

1.5 Optional AI Models
