Consensus NLP, Inc. (“Consensus”) counts privacy among its core values and recognizes the importance that its users place on data privacy.
This Privacy Policy (this “Privacy Policy”) is intended to explain Consensus’s privacy practices with respect to the website(s) and the mobile applications that link to or reference this Privacy Policy, including the Consensus mobile applications for iOS and Android (together with their respective pages, screens and features, the “Site”). This Privacy Policy is also intended to provide you (together with any person helping you visit, access, register with or use any of those online or digital properties, products or services, “you” or “your”) with an overview of the following:
the type of information about you Consensus collects through the Site;
how Consensus collects such information;
how Consensus uses such information;
who will have access to such information; and
Consensus’s security measures for protecting such information.
This Privacy Policy applies to information collected through the Site. Carefully read this Privacy Policy in its entirety.
The Consensus mobile applications provide access to the same services described in this Privacy Policy. Information you provide through a mobile application is collected, used and shared as described in this Privacy Policy.
You are automatically accepting and agreeing to the most recent version of this Privacy Policy, as well as Consensus’s Terms and Conditions, whenever you create, register with or log into an account on or through the Site. Similarly, you are automatically accepting and agreeing to the most-recent version of this Privacy Policy, as well as Consensus’s Terms and Conditions, whenever you visit, access, register with, subscribe to or use the Site or any services provided by Consensus on the Site; and your continuing visit, access, registration with, subscription to or use of any of the forgoing reaffirms your acceptance and agreement in each instance. You may withdraw your acceptance at any time as described in “Data Retention and Deletion” below.
As used herein, the term “personal information” means information that relates to an identified or an identifiable individual (e.g., your name, physical address, telephone number, email address, and, though not expected to ever be collected by Consensus, government identifiers such as social security numbers); and the term “non-personal information” means any information other than personal information that Consensus may collect from you, such as anonymized data.
Limitations on Access by Minors.
The Site is not directed to children under thirteen (13) years of age. Consensus does not knowingly collect personal information from any person under thirteen (13) years of age. If Consensus obtains actual knowledge that it has collected personal information through the Site from a person under thirteen (13) years of age, then it will use reasonable efforts to refrain from further using such personal information or maintaining it in retrievable form. If you are under eighteen (18) years of age, please obtain your parent or legal guardian’s consent prior to using the services.
Furthermore, if you are under eighteen (18) years of age, then you (or your parent or legal guardian) may at any time request that Consensus remove content or information about you that is posted on the Site. Please submit any such request (“Request for Removal of Minor Information”) to [email protected]., with a subject line of “Removal of Minor Information.”
Consensus is not responsible for failing to comply with any Request for Removal of Minor Information that is incomplete, incorrectly labeled or incorrectly sent.
Please note that the aforementioned removal does not ensure complete or comprehensive removal of such content or information posted on the Site. Further, please note that Consensus is not required to erase or otherwise eliminate, or to enable erasure or elimination of, such content or information in certain circumstances, such as when required by law; when Consensus anonymizes the content or information; when you do not follow the aforementioned instructions for requesting the removal of the content or information; and when you have received compensation or other consideration for providing the content or information.
The foregoing is a description of Consensus’s voluntary practices concerning the collection of personal information through the Site from certain minors, and is not intended to be an admission that Consensus is subject to the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act, the Federal Trade Commission’s Children’s Online Privacy Protection Rule(s), or any similar international, federal, state, or local laws, rules, or regulations.
Categories of Information Collected.
Consensus may collect personal and non-personal information about you through the Site. Depending upon your use of the Site, the categories of such information might include:
Contact Information: Includes your name, email address, mailing address, and phone number.
Account Information: Includes your username, password, and other information used to register and maintain your account.
Payment Information: Includes credit or debit card details and billing address, collected and processed by our third-party payment providers.
Service Interaction Information: Includes any questions, prompts, or content you submit to our services, as well as the output generated for you.
Device and Usage Data: Includes information about your device (such as device type, operating system, and IP address), browser type, and details about how you interact with our website and services (such as pages visited, time spent, and clickstream data).
Location Information: Includes your approximate location, which may be derived from your IP address or device settings.
Third-Party Information: Includes information we receive from third-party platforms if you choose to link or sign in through services like Google or Apple, as well as information from analytics providers and business partners.
Other Information You Provide: Includes any other information you choose to share with us, such as when you contact customer support or participate in surveys.
How Information Is Collected.
We are committed to collecting only the information necessary to provide and improve our services. We collect information in the following ways:
Directly from you: When you register, fill out forms, make purchases, or communicate with us. You control what you choose to share with us.
Automatically: Through cookies, web beacons, and similar technologies that help us understand how our service is used and improve your experience. We minimize automatic data collection to what is reasonably necessary for service operation, security, and product improvement.
From third parties: Only when you explicitly choose to connect third-party accounts or interact with integrated services.
All information we collect — whether provided directly, collected automatically, or received from authorized third parties — is encrypted both in transit and at rest using industry-standard encryption protocols.
If you choose to block, reject, disable, or modify the management settings for any tracking technologies, certain areas of the Site may not function properly. By accessing or using the Site, you acknowledge that Consensus may use these technologies to operate, secure, and improve the Site.Use of Information Collected.
Use of Information Collected.
Consensus uses the information it collects solely to operate, improve, and secure our services. Specifically, we may use your information to:
Deliver services and manage your account
Communicate with you about your account and our services
Personalize and enhance your user experience
Analyze usage patterns to improve our products (using aggregated and de-identified data wherever possible)
Protect the security and integrity of our platform and our users
Comply with legal obligations
Honor your rights, preferences, and consent choices
What we will never do with your data:
We do not sell your personal information. Consensus does not monetize user data in any form.
We do not use your data to train large language models. Your queries, content, and personal information are never used to train AI models — neither our own nor those of any third party.
We do not send user data to third parties for the purpose of training large language models. This commitment extends to every vendor relationship we maintain
Consensus reserves the right to use your personal and non-personal information when:
Required by applicable law or other governmental authority; or
Consensus believes in good faith that such use is otherwise necessary or advisable.
Consensus’s use and transfer to any other app of information received from Google APIs will adhere to Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.
How We Process Your Content to Deliver the Service.
Consensus’s core features are built on large language models. Producing a result for you requires processing the content you submit: your search queries and questions, your prior messages in a conversation, the paper content assembled to answer you, and the text of documents you upload. Some of that processing runs on models operated by OpenAI, Anthropic, Google and Baseten, which act as our service providers for this purpose.
Consensus does not attach your name, email address, account identifier, or any other identifier to the content sent for processing.
These providers process your content on our instructions and only to return a result to you, under agreements requiring them to protect it consistent with this Privacy Policy and to restrict its use to providing services to Consensus. They may apply their own automated safety checks and retain content briefly under their own terms. Sending content for processing is not the same as training: your content is never used to train AI models, whether ours or a third party’s.
Consensus offers voice dictation in the browser and the installed web app. If you use it, the audio you record is sent to OpenAI for transcription and returned to you as text; Consensus does not store your dictation audio. The Consensus mobile applications for iOS and Android do not offer voice dictation and do not access your microphone.
Sharing of Information Collected.
Protecting your data means being deliberate about who has access to it. We share information only in the limited circumstances described below. Processing performed to produce your results is described above under “How We Process Your Content to Deliver the Service.”
Internally: Personal information is accessible only to Consensus personnel who have a legitimate business need to access it, subject to confidentiality obligations and internal access controls.
Business-Critical Service Providers: We share information only with the third-party vendors required to operate our service — such as cloud infrastructure, payment processing, and core analytics providers. Every such vendor operates under an enterprise agreement that contractually requires them to protect your data, restrict its use to providing services to Consensus, and prohibit any unauthorized access, use, sale, or sharing. We do not share data with vendors operating under standard consumer or free-tier terms.
Law Enforcement and Legal Compliance: We may disclose information when legally required to do so, such as in response to a valid subpoena or court order, or when we believe in good faith that disclosure is necessary to protect rights, property, or safety. We review all such requests carefully and limit disclosure to what is legally required.
Business Transfers: In the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, your information may be transferred as part of that transaction. Any successor entity will be bound by the privacy commitments set forth in this policy.
We do not sell your personal information to advertisers, data brokers, or any third party. We do not share your information with business partners for marketing, advertising, or any commercial purpose unrelated to operating our service.
You may choose to share certain information or follow other users on the Site. Any information you voluntarily make public — such as a public profile or shared content — will be visible to others as you have configured.
For the avoidance of doubt, Consensus does not use your personal or non-personal information to train large language models. Furthermore, we do not send any user data to third parties for the purpose of training large language models.
Data Retention and Deletion.
Consensus retains your personal information and non-personal information for as long as it is reasonably necessary for a legitimate business purpose, and may dispose of or delete it at any time, except as set forth in any other agreement or document executed by both you and Consensus concerning the same or as required by law.
You can delete your data from within the Consensus website and mobile applications at any time:
Clear your search history. In Settings, “Clear thread history” deletes your searches and their associated conversations from Consensus.
Delete your account. In Settings, “Delete account” closes your Consensus account and revokes its access to connected integrations. If you signed in with Apple, you can additionally revoke Consensus’s access from your Apple ID settings.
Withdrawing your consent. You may withdraw your acceptance of this Privacy Policy at any time by deleting your account. Account deletion is available in Settings, both on the web and in the Consensus mobile applications. To request deletion of information Consensus still holds about you, write to [email protected] with a subject line of “Your Personal Information.”
Third Parties and Their Applications and Networks.
The Site and/or any communications sent through or as a function of the Site might contain links directed to third parties.
In addition, you might have the opportunity to access the Site using your online user accounts with certain third parties, such as social media platforms, which might be subject to separate privacy policies. Consensus might also collect information from those third parties (such as, for example, your name, gender, date of birth and personal interests, or when you “like” or click links provided by or through those third parties).
Moreover, Consensus might permit third parties to use their own tracking, data aggregation and/or data analysis technologies like the ones described above (e.g., third-party cookies).
You should carefully review the relevant terms of use and privacy policies associated with third party websites, networks, platforms, servers and applications.
Security.
Consensus implements security measures to help protect the personal information it collects through the Site. For example, Consensus encrypts the transmission of information through the Site by using secure socket layer (SSL) technology.
To help maintain the security of your personal information, Consensus asks that you please notify it immediately of any unauthorized visit, access or use of the Site, or the loss or unauthorized use of your user access information for the Site (e.g., username or password).
Retention, Review, and Change of Information Collected.
You may request at any time that Consensus provide you with an opportunity to review, change, or delete your personal information collected through the Site, if any, or to no longer use your personal information to provide you with any products or services. Please submit any such request (“Request Concerning Personal Information”) to [email protected], with a subject line of “Your Personal Information.” For each Request Concerning Personal Information, please state “Your Personal Information” in the email or letter subject line.
Consensus is not responsible for any Request Concerning Personal Information that is incomplete, incorrectly labeled or incorrectly sent. You are solely responsible for the accuracy and content of your personal information, and for keeping your personal information current and correct.
California privacy rights
Consensus is not subject to regulation under the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 (“CCPA”).

However, if you are a resident of the State of California and Consensus has an established business relationship with you, then, pursuant to Section 1798.83 of the California Civil Code, you have the right to request the following at any time: (a) information from Consensus free of charge regarding the manner in which Consensus shares certain personal information collected through the Site with third parties who use such information for direct marketing purposes; and (b) the discontinuation (or opt-out) of Consensus’s sharing of such information with such third parties. Please submit any such request (“California Privacy Rights Request”) by email to: [email protected], with a subject line of “Your California Privacy Rights.”
For each California Privacy Rights Request, please state “Your California Privacy Rights” in the email or letter subject line.
If you send a California Privacy Rights Request by mail, then please do so by U.S. Certified Mail, Return Receipt Requested to allow for confirmation of mailing, delivery and tracking. Consensus will not accept a California Privacy Rights Request via telephone or fax; and is not responsible for a California Privacy Rights Request that is incomplete, incorrectly labeled or incorrectly sent.
You are solely responsible for the accuracy and content of your personal information, and for keeping your personal information current and correct.
Users located in countries other than the United States.
We are headquartered in the United States of America and all our servers are located in the United States.
