  • Analysis Corpus: Brand knowledge bases, white papers, or website content you upload to optimize AI responses (for semantic analysis and structured data suggestions).
  • AI Interaction Data: Our system records third-party AI model responses related to your brand (this is public data collection and does not involve your company's non-public privacy).

4. How Do We Use Your Data?

We use your data to provide you with enterprise-grade data intelligence services, including:

  • Service Fulfillment: Generate "customized AI brand reports", enable backend dashboard access, and provide API call services.
  • Product Delivery: Analyze your customer data to calculate "Share of Voice" and "sentiment trends".

  • Product Improvement: Analyze user patterns for monitoring features to optimize our GEO algorithms and semantic indexing engine.
  • Security: Monitor abnormal logins to prevent data scraping or fraudulent use.

5. How and Where Do We Store Your Data?

  • Data Retention: We only retain your data for the period necessary to achieve service purposes, or for the period you have consented to. For historical ranking data, we will archive it long-term for you to view annual trends, unless you request deletion.
  • Storage Location: Your data is stored on secure cloud servers with enterprise-grade encryption standards (AES-256) (primarily in AWS and Google Cloud data centers).
  • Data Isolation: MaxAEO implements strict multi-tenant data isolation policies to ensure your enterprise competitive intelligence is not accessible to other customers.

6. Do We Share Your Data?

We will never sell your personal information or proprietary business data to third parties. However, data sharing may occur in the following situations:

  • Service Providers: We may partner with trusted third parties (such as cloud hosting providers, CRM system providers, email delivery services) to process data on our behalf. They are only authorized to access data to the extent necessary to provide services.
  • Legal Requirements: We may disclose necessary information when complying with laws, court orders, or mandatory government agency requirements.
  • Aggregated Data: We may publish anonymous industry benchmark reports (e.g., "2025 Finance Industry AI Visibility Average"). Such data does not contain any information that can identify specific companies.

7. AI and Data Sovereignty Policy

MaxAEO respects your data sovereignty:

  • Not Used for Public Training: Without your explicit written permission, we will not use your uploaded internal enterprise private data (such as unpublished product documents) to train our public-facing general AI models, nor will we share it with third-party large model vendors (such as OpenAI) for training.
  • RAG Optimization Mechanism: When we simulate AI conversations to optimize your brand ranking, we only use information you have authorized for public disclosure or that is already public on the internet.

8. How Can You Control Your Data?

  • Marketing Preferences: You can opt out of marketing communications by clicking the "Unsubscribe" link at the bottom of emails.
  • Cookie Management: You can disable cookies in your browser settings, but this may affect the experience of some automated login features.
  • Withdraw Consent: You can contact us at any time to withdraw your consent to data processing. Please note that if it involves core business data (such as monitoring keywords), withdrawing consent will result in the inability to continue services.

Wherever you are located, we grant you the following rights:

  • Right of Access: Request a copy of personal and business data we hold about you.
  • Right of Rectification: Request correction of any inaccurate contact or business information.

  • Right of Data Portability: Request export of your monitoring report data in structured formats (such as CSV/JSON).

10. Automated Decision-Making Statement

The core of our service includes automated AI processing (such as automatically determining whether the sentiment of an AI response is "positive" or "negative"). While this involves automated algorithms, such processing is intended to provide business intelligence reference and does not constitute automated decision-making with legal effect on you personally (such as credit ratings).

11. Children's Privacy

Our services are primarily aimed at enterprise users and not targeted at individuals under 18 years of age. We do not intentionally collect personal information from minors.
