Privacy Policy
Effective October 15, 2026 · Last Updated October 15, 2026
This Privacy Policy describes how Noticia Solutions Inc. (“Noticia”, “we”, “us”, or “our”) collects, uses, discloses, and safeguards information in connection with the Claira platform and related services (the “Service”) and our websites (the “Website”). Noticia is an Ontario corporation.
This Privacy Policy applies to all users of the Service, including administrators, authorized users, and visitors to claira.to and associated websites. Sections 14 to 19 contain additional information for individuals in Canada (including Québec), the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom and Switzerland, the United States, Brazil, Mexico and Latin America, and Australia and New Zealand.
Our use of cookies and similar technologies on the Website is explained in more detail in our Cookie & Tracking Policy. Residents of the United States can also exercise their opt-out choices on our Your Privacy Choices page.
By accessing or using the Service, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Privacy Policy.
1. Scope
This Privacy Policy covers information collected through: the Claira web application at claira.to; the Claira extension for Nuix Discover; Claira integrations within third-party platforms; our support, billing, and marketing communications; our websites, including claira.to and its regional and language versions, and support.claira.to; and “Ask Claira”, the conversational assistant on our Website.
Organizations that subscribe to the Service (“Customers”) submit documents and content to the Service for review. We process that content on the Customer’s behalf, as described in Section 4.
This Privacy Policy does not cover third-party websites, platforms, or services that may be linked from or integrated with the Service. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of third parties.
2. Information We Collect
2.1 Account and Contact Information. When a Customer account is created or a user is provisioned, we may collect: name, email address, and job title; organization name and billing address; phone number (if provided); and account credentials and authentication tokens.
2.2 Billing Information. We collect billing details necessary to process payments, including billing contact name and address, and payment method details (processed and stored by our third-party payment processor; we do not store full credit card numbers).
2.3 Usage Data. We automatically collect information about how the Service is accessed and used, including: case activation and deactivation events; document processing volumes and credit consumption; feature usage patterns and frequency; timestamps and session duration; browser type, device type, operating system, and IP address; and error logs and performance data.
2.4 Customer Data (Documents and Content). Customers may submit documents and content to the Service for AI-assisted review and analysis. Our handling of Customer Data is governed by strict principles described in Section 4 below. Customer Data is processed solely to deliver the Service and is not retained, stored, or used for any other purpose.
2.5 Communications. We collect information you provide when you contact our support team, respond to surveys, or communicate with us through any channel.
2.6 Website Forms, Demo Bookings, and Newsletter. When you submit a form on the Website, such as a request for a demo case, a request for an on-site visit, a partner inquiry, or a request to join our MCP waitlist, we collect the information you enter, such as your name, business email address, organization, job title, country, and message. When you book a demo through HubSpot Meetings, we also collect the date and time you choose and any details you provide with your booking. Form submissions are processed by Formspree (United States), a form-processing service that delivers them to our team by email. Our team may then record the details in HubSpot (United States), the customer relationship management (CRM) platform we use to manage inquiries and business relationships. Bookings made through HubSpot Meetings are sent directly to HubSpot. When you subscribe to our newsletter, your email address and any other details you choose to provide are sent to Loops (United States), the email platform we use to send newsletters, together with information about when and where you subscribed.
2.7 Ask Claira. Our Website offers “Ask Claira”, an AI-powered chatbot that answers questions about Claira. Ask Claira is provided by Chatbase (United States) and is embedded on our chat page only. When you use it, the content of your conversation (your messages and the chatbot’s answers) and technical information about the session, such as your IP address and browser type, are collected and processed by Chatbase and by the large language model provider that Chatbase uses to generate answers. Chatbase stores a random identifier in your browser to keep your conversation together, and may store other information within the chatbot (see our Cookie & Tracking Policy). So that Ask Claira can answer for the regional and language version of the Website you are viewing, we tell Chatbase that version’s market, language, currency, and data residency region; this is not information about you. If you choose to provide contact details in the chat, for example to be contacted by our team, those details may be passed to HubSpot as a sales lead so that we can follow up. Ask Claira is an automated assistant: its answers may be incomplete or inaccurate and are not legal advice. Please do not enter confidential information, client or case information, or sensitive personal information in the chat.
2.8 Website Technical Data. When you visit the Website, our hosting provider automatically receives the technical information your browser sends with every request, such as your IP address, browser type, device type, operating system, referring page, the pages requested, and the date and time of the request. We use your IP address to determine your approximate country (and, where available, your region) so that we can suggest a regional version of the Website and apply the appropriate cookie-consent model. We do not store your IP address in your consent record.
2.9 Cookies and Tracking Technologies. Our websites and web application may use cookies, local storage, and similar technologies to authenticate users and maintain sessions, remember preferences and settings (such as your chosen region and language and your cookie choices), analyze traffic and usage patterns, measure the effectiveness of our marketing, and support security and fraud prevention. On the Website, these include:
- Strictly necessary cookies set by us to remember your cookie choices and your chosen region and language;
- Analytics technologies: Google Analytics 4 (Google LLC), which measures how the Website is used, and Microsoft Clarity (Microsoft Corporation), which produces heatmaps and session replays showing how visitors click, scroll, and navigate on our pages;
- Marketing technologies: the HubSpot tracking code (HubSpot, Inc.), which records visits to the Website and can link them to a contact record if you submit a form; the Apollo.io website tracker, which identifies the organization associated with a visitor’s IP address and adds company-level (firmographic) information; and the LinkedIn Insight Tag, which measures conversions from our LinkedIn advertising and helps us build advertising audiences.
Analytics and marketing technologies are used only in accordance with your choices, as described in our Cookie & Tracking Policy. Some pages also include embedded content from third parties that may use their own cookies or browser storage: YouTube videos, which load only when you press play; the Ask Claira chatbot (Chatbase), on our chat page only; and the HubSpot Meetings scheduler for demo bookings. You can change your choices at any time using “Cookie preferences” in the Website footer. You may also control cookies through your browser settings. Disabling certain cookies may affect the functionality of the Website or the Service.
2.10 Information From Other Sources. We may receive information about you from: your organization, when a Customer administrator provisions you as an authorized user; Apollo.io, which provides company-level information (such as company name, industry, size, and location) about organizations whose networks are used to visit our Website, if marketing technologies are enabled; LinkedIn, which provides us with aggregated reports about the performance and audiences of our advertising (LinkedIn does not identify individual members to us); and HubSpot, which may associate Website activity recorded by its tracking cookie with your contact record after you submit a form.
3. How We Use Information
We use the information we collect for the following purposes: providing, operating, and maintaining the Service; processing transactions and sending billing-related communications; authenticating users and managing accounts; providing customer support; monitoring usage for billing, capacity planning, and service improvement; generating aggregated, anonymized analytics and benchmarks (which never include Customer Data or information that could identify a Customer or its clients); communicating product updates, new features, and service-related notices; marketing and promotional communications (with the ability to opt out); enforcing our Terms of Use and protecting the security of the Service; and complying with applicable law and responding to lawful requests.
In connection with the Website, we also use information to: operate the Website and remember your region, language, and cookie choices; respond to inquiries, demo and on-site visit requests, partner inquiries, waitlist sign-ups, demo bookings, and requests made through Ask Claira, and follow up with prospective customers; provide the Ask Claira assistant and review conversations to improve its answers and our Website content; measure and analyze how the Website is used and improve it; measure the effectiveness of our advertising, identify the organizations that visit our Website, and show our advertising to relevant audiences on LinkedIn; and keep records of consent and privacy choices.
We send marketing emails only with your express consent, as required by Canada’s Anti-Spam Legislation (CASL) and other applicable laws, and every marketing email includes an unsubscribe link.
We do not make decisions about you based exclusively on automated processing that produce legal effects or similarly significantly affect you.
4. Customer Data: Processing, Retention, and Security
4.1 No Retention of Document Content. Customer Data submitted for AI review is processed in real time. Documents are transmitted to the AI model, a response is generated, and results are returned to the Customer’s environment. Noticia does not retain, store, cache, or index Customer Data after processing is complete. Operational metadata, including billing records, scan history, and configuration data, is stored as necessary to operate the Service.
4.2 No Model Training. Customer Data is never used to train, fine-tune, retrain, or otherwise improve any machine learning or AI model. Each processing interaction is ephemeral and isolated.
4.3 No Secondary Use. Customer Data is not used for analytics, benchmarking, product development, or any purpose other than delivering the Service to the Customer that submitted it.
4.4 Data Residency and Infrastructure. Customers choose where the Service processes their Customer Data: Canada, the United States, the United Kingdom, the European Union, Brazil, or Australia. Customers in the United Kingdom may choose either the United Kingdom or the European Union. Customer Data submitted for AI review is processed in the region selected by the Customer. Customer Data in transit is encrypted using industry-standard protocols (TLS 1.2 or higher). For Customers accessing the Service through Nuix Discover, the document security policies of the Customer’s Nuix environment continue to apply.
4.5 Sub-Processors. Customer Data may be processed by third-party infrastructure and model providers as necessary to deliver the Service. These sub-processors are contractually bound to obligations of confidentiality and data protection consistent with this Privacy Policy. Noticia selects sub-processors that offer zero data retention and no model training on customer inputs. A current list of sub-processors is available upon request.
4.6 Our Role. When we process Customer Data, we act on behalf of the Customer, as its service provider (a “processor” under some laws). The Customer decides what Customer Data to submit and is responsible for its own obligations to the individuals whose information appears in it. If your personal information is contained in documents submitted by a Customer and you wish to exercise your privacy rights, please contact that Customer. We will assist the Customer as required by applicable law and our agreement with it. For all other personal information described in this Privacy Policy, such as Website, account, billing, and usage information, Noticia is the organization responsible (the “controller” under some laws).
5. How We Share Information
We do not sell personal information for money, and we never sell Customer Data or use it for advertising. However, if you allow marketing technologies on our Website (or, in the United States, do not opt out of them), the LinkedIn Insight Tag, the Apollo.io website tracker, and the HubSpot tracking code may be considered “sharing” of personal information for cross-context behavioural advertising, and under some US state laws a “sale”. See Section 16 and our Your Privacy Choices page to opt out.
We may share information in the following limited circumstances: with service providers and sub-processors that perform functions on our behalf (payment processing, hosting, form processing, customer relationship management, meeting scheduling, email delivery, analytics, and the Ask Claira chatbot), subject to confidentiality obligations; with advertising and marketing partners, in accordance with your cookie choices, as described in our Cookie & Tracking Policy; with Customer’s organization administrators, who may have visibility into account activity and usage; to comply with applicable law, regulation, legal process, or enforceable governmental request; to enforce our Terms of Use or protect the rights, property, or safety of Noticia, our users, or others; in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of all or substantially all of our assets, in which case affected users will be notified; and with Customer’s consent or at Customer’s direction.
The main service providers and partners that receive personal information in connection with the Website are:
| Provider | Purpose | Location |

| Apollo.io | Identification of visiting organizations (marketing) | United States |
Providers may also process information in other locations where they or their sub-processors operate. Information about the sub-processors that process Customer Data is available upon request (see Section 4.5).
6. Data Retention
Account and contact information is retained for the duration of the Customer relationship and for a reasonable period thereafter for legal and business purposes. Billing records are retained as required by applicable tax and financial reporting obligations. Usage data is retained in aggregated or anonymized form for analytics and capacity planning; identifiable usage data is retained for a reasonable period and then deleted. Customer document content is not retained after processing (see Section 4.1). Operational metadata such as billing records, scan history, and configuration is retained as needed to operate and support the Service. Communications are retained for a reasonable period to support ongoing service delivery.
For Website information, the following periods apply:
| Information | Retention period |
|---|---|
| Website form submissions and CRM records | In Formspree: 24 months after submission. In our CRM: for as long as needed to respond to your request and manage our business relationship; records of prospective customers with no activity are deleted or anonymized 24 months after the last interaction |
| Newsletter subscriptions | Until you unsubscribe. After you unsubscribe, we keep your email address on a suppression list so that we do not email you again, and we keep records of your consent for as long as necessary to demonstrate compliance with CASL and other applicable laws |
| Ask Claira conversations | 24 months. Contact details sent to HubSpot follow the CRM retention period above |
| Consent records (random consent ID, choices, date and time, policy version, and country or region) | 3 years, as proof of consent |
| claira_consent cookie | 13 months |
| claira_market cookie | 12 months |
| Google Analytics cookies | Up to 13 months |

| Microsoft Clarity data | 30 days for session recordings and 13 months for heatmaps |
| Other analytics and marketing cookies | As described in our Cookie & Tracking Policy (up to approximately 2 years) |
| Server and security logs | 30 days |
When information is no longer needed, we delete it or anonymize it so that it can no longer identify you.
7. Security
We implement administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect the information we collect and process. These include encryption of data in transit (TLS 1.2+), access controls and authentication mechanisms, regular security assessments and vulnerability management, logging and monitoring of access to production systems, and incident response procedures.
If a security incident involving personal information occurs, we will notify affected individuals, Customers, and regulators where required by applicable law.
No method of transmission or storage is completely secure. While we strive to protect your information, we cannot guarantee absolute security.

He can be reached at support@claira.to.

14.3 Access and Correction. You may ask to access the personal information we hold about you and to have it corrected if it is inaccurate or incomplete. We will respond within 30 days, unless the law allows us to extend this period, in which case we will tell you.

14.4 Rights Under Québec Law. If you are in Québec, you have the right to:
- be informed, when your information is collected, of the purposes and means of collection, your rights of access and rectification, your right to withdraw consent, the third parties or categories of third parties to whom it is necessary to communicate your information, and the possibility that it may be communicated outside Québec (this Privacy Policy provides this information);

Personal information may be communicated outside Québec: to other Canadian provinces; to the United States, where HubSpot, Formspree (forms), Loops, Chatbase and its large language model provider (Ask Claira), Google (Google Analytics and YouTube), Microsoft, LinkedIn, and Apollo.io process it; and, for Customer Data, to the region selected by the Customer. Before communicating personal information outside Québec, we conduct a privacy impact assessment that takes into account the sensitivity of the information, the purposes for which it will be used, the protection measures (including contractual measures) that will apply to it, and the legal framework applicable in the destination jurisdiction, including its data protection principles. We communicate the information only if the assessment establishes that it would receive adequate protection, in particular in light of generally recognized principles regarding the protection of personal information, and only under a written agreement that takes into account the results of the assessment.
14.6 Confidentiality Incidents. We keep a register of confidentiality incidents and of breaches of security safeguards. If an incident presents a risk of serious injury, or a real risk of significant harm, to the individuals concerned, we notify them and report the incident to the Commission d’accès à l’information du Québec and the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada, as applicable.
14.7 Governance. We have established policies and practices governing personal information, approved by our person in charge of the protection of personal information. They set out the roles and responsibilities of our personnel throughout the life cycle of personal information, the rules for its retention and destruction, and a process for handling complaints. This Privacy Policy summarizes them. We conduct privacy impact assessments for projects to acquire, develop, or overhaul information systems or electronic service delivery systems that involve personal information.

| Sensitive personal information | Account log-in credentials | You; your organization | Service providers (hosting and authentication) | Not sold or shared |
We retain each category of personal information for the periods described in Section 6.
16.2 Sensitive Personal Information. We collect account log-in credentials only to authenticate users and secure the Service. We do not use or disclose sensitive personal information for purposes that would give rise to a right to limit its use under California law.
16.3 Sale, Sharing, and Targeted Advertising. We do not sell personal information for money. When marketing technologies are active on our Website, the LinkedIn Insight Tag, the Apollo.io website tracker, and the HubSpot tracking code collect your IP address, online identifiers, and browsing activity on our Website. This may constitute “sharing” of personal information for cross-context behavioural advertising under California law, and a “sale” of personal information or processing for “targeted advertising” under the laws of other states. In the United States, these technologies are active by default, and you have the right to opt out:
- use the Manage cookie preferences button on our Your Privacy Choices page, or “Cookie preferences” in the Website footer; or
- enable Global Privacy Control (GPC) in your browser or browser extension. We treat a GPC signal as a valid request to opt out of the sale and sharing of your personal information and of targeted advertising, and we automatically turn marketing technologies off for that browser.
Your choice applies to the browser and device you use. If you would also like us to apply your opt-out to information associated with your email address in our records, contact support@claira.to with the subject “Do Not Sell or Share”. We do not knowingly sell or share the personal information of consumers under 16 years of age.
16.4 Your Rights. Depending on your state of residence, you may have the right to:
- Know and access the categories and specific pieces of personal information we have collected about you, the categories of sources, the business or commercial purposes for collecting, selling, or sharing it, and the categories of third parties to whom we disclose it;
- Delete personal information we have collected from you, subject to exceptions permitted by law;
- Correct inaccurate personal information;
- Obtain a copy of your personal information in a portable format;
- Opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information, of targeted advertising, and of profiling in furtherance of decisions that produce legal or similarly significant effects (we do not engage in such profiling);
- Limit the use and disclosure of sensitive personal information (we do not use sensitive personal information in ways that give rise to this right); and
- Not be discriminated against for exercising your rights. We will not deny you services, charge you different prices, or provide a different level of quality because you exercised your privacy rights.
16.5 Submitting a Request. To exercise your rights to know, access, delete, correct, or obtain a copy, email support@claira.to with the subject “Privacy Request” and a description of your request. We will confirm receipt within 10 business days and respond within 45 calendar days. If we need more time (up to an additional 45 days), we will tell you why.
16.6 Verification. To protect your information, we verify requests by matching the information you provide with information we already hold, such as your email address and details of your interactions with us. We may ask for more information for requests for specific pieces of personal information or for deletion of sensitive information. We do not require verification for opt-out requests, but we may deny an opt-out request that we believe is fraudulent.
16.7 Authorized Agents. You may use an authorized agent to submit a request on your behalf. We will require the agent to provide your signed written permission, and we may ask you to verify your identity directly with us and confirm that you gave the agent permission. These requirements do not apply if the agent holds a valid power of attorney under applicable state law.
16.8 Appeals. If we decline to act on your request, you may appeal by replying to our decision or by emailing support@claira.to with the subject “Privacy Request Appeal”. We will respond to your appeal within the period required by your state’s law and explain our decision. If we deny your appeal, you may contact your state Attorney General.
16.9 De-identified Information. When we use de-identified information, we maintain and use it only in de-identified form and do not attempt to re-identify it, except as permitted by law.
16.10 Do Not Track. Some browsers send “Do Not Track” signals. Because there is no common standard for interpreting them, we do not respond to Do Not Track signals. We do honour Global Privacy Control signals as described in Section 16.3.
