1. Introduction
Shieldbase AI Pte. Ltd. (“Shieldbase”, “we”, “our”, or “us”) is committed to protecting personal and organizational data and ensuring transparency in how we collect, use, and safeguard information.

Shieldbase is headquartered in Singapore and complies with the Personal Data Protection Act 2012 (PDPA), the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), and other international privacy frameworks.
Where we access or process data via third-party APIs (e.g., Google Workspace APIs, Microsoft Graph, Slack, Zoom, Salesforce), we also comply with those providers’ user-data and developer policies.
2. Scope
This Policy applies to:
Users of Shieldbase AI platforms, APIs, and applications;
Enterprise customers and their authorized users;
Visitors to Shieldbase websites and resources.
It does not apply to third-party services with their own privacy policies.

b. Usage and Activity Data
Log files, access timestamps, API usage, interactions, and device identifiers.

Shieldbase acts as a data processor, handling such data solely under the customer’s instructions.
d. Technical Data
Browser, operating system, IP address, cookies, and identifiers.
e. AI Training and Model Improvement Data
Shieldbase does not use customer data from enterprise or dedicated environments to train shared foundation models.

If you enable integrations with third-party APIs (e.g., Google Workspace, Microsoft 365, Slack, Zoom, Salesforce):
We access only the minimum necessary scopes and obtain explicit user consent;
We follow Google Workspace API Services User Data Policy and equivalent frameworks;
We do not use such data for advertising, resale, or model training;
We clearly disclose each integration’s purpose, data access, and retention behavior.
4. How We Use Information
We process data to:
Provide and maintain our Services;
Authenticate and manage user access;
Improve performance, security, and usability;

Depending on jurisdiction, processing may rely on:
Performance of a contract;
Legitimate interest (balanced against user rights);
Compliance with legal obligations;
User consent for specific or third-party data uses.
