Data processing agreement
Offered
Data region
USA (copyleaks.com) and EU/Germany (copyleaks.eu - GDPR compliant instance)
Copyleaks trains its models on customer data by default. Per the Copyleaks privacy policy: 'Copyleaks uses Enterprise Customer Data to provide the Services and to train its models.' Direct customers may opt out of Copyleaks' use of their information to train models by contacting customer support, and Enterprise Customers may also elect to opt out. For Enterprise Customer Data, Copyleaks may act as an independent data controller in certain cases (as opposed to a data processor operating under a DPA when scanning submitted content per customer instructions). Users can also opt out of the Shared Data Hub feature.

// What to watch
- Copyleaks trains models on Enterprise Customer Data to improve its services. Users can opt out of the Shared Data Hub, but the primary model-training practice uses customer submissions. This is a material data governance consideration for enterprises handling sensitive content.
- The homepage describes 'SOC 3' as a certification; SOC 3 is a public report format rather than a certified compliance level like SOC 2 Type II. The SOC 2 Type I versus Type II distinction is not specified in public materials.
- Copyleaks acts as both data controller and processor depending on context. For Enterprise Customer Data, it can act as controller to train models where contractually permitted. This dual role creates potential complexity in data agreements.
- Despite claims of comprehensive security certifications, ISO 27001 and HIPAA certifications are not evident in public documentation. The product is not HIPAA-aligned for healthcare use.
