Our mission is to boost the growth and development of Artificial Intelligence by providing Data Collection and Data Annotation Services for AI training. We offer unique and high-quality Data that will elevate your AI models to the next level.

2. Scope and Applicability

This policy describes how Unidata collects, uses, shares or otherwise processes information relating to individuals and the rights associated with that processing.

A reference to “Unidata”, “we”, “us” or the “Company” is a reference to Unidata L.L.C-FZ and its affiliates involved in the collection, use, sharing, or other processing of personal information. Where applicable, Unidata L.L.C-FZ is the controller.

  • When you provide your products and services to our Company (collectively referred to as “Services to our Company”);
  • When you attend Unidata event or otherwise interact with us.

This Privacy Policy does not apply to the extent we process personal information in the role of processor or service provider on behalf of our customers, who in these cases are controllers of personal data in the sense, as it is defined further in Section 3. Customers are solely responsible for establishing policies for and ensuring compliance with all applicable laws and regulations, as well as any and all privacy policies, agreements, or other obligations relating to such Customers’ use or collection of personal information in connection with the use of our Services by individuals with whom our Customers interact.

3. Personal Information We Collect

When we talk about “personal information” or “personal data,” we’re talking about a broad range of information. Data protection laws around the world define this concept in different ways, but in general, we mean any information that relates to an identifiable, living individual person.

In addition, some data protection laws and privacy laws in certain jurisdictions differentiate between “controllers” and “processors” of personal data. A controller decides why and how to process personal data. A processor does not make decisions about personal data; it only processes personal data on behalf of a controller based on the controller’s instructions.

Because the needs can vary for different data types in the context of different services, actual retention periods can vary significantly. We determine the appropriate retention period for personal information based on the amount, nature and sensitivity of your personal information processed, the potential risk of harm from unauthorized use or disclosure of your personal information and whether we can achieve the purposes of the processing through other means, as well as applicable legal requirements (such as applicable statutes of limitation).
