Your Privacy Matters

How BoardLens collects, uses, and protects your personal information

Last Updated: June 19, 2026

At BoardLens, Inc. (“BoardLens,” “we,” “us,” or “our”), we take your privacy seriously. This Privacy Policy (“Policy”) explains how we collect, use, share, and protect your personal information when you interact with our products and services, and describes the rights and choices available to you.

Note on roles. When you use the BoardLens platform, you upload board-related documents and other content (“Board Materials”). With respect to personal information contained in Board Materials, BoardLens acts as a processor (or “service provider”) on behalf of the customer organization that controls those materials, and we handle that information only under our customer’s instructions and our contract with them (including our Data Processing Addendum). With respect to information we collect about visitors to our website and the individuals who administer accounts (for example, account, billing, and marketing data), BoardLens acts as a controller. This Policy primarily describes our practices as a controller. Where we act as a processor, our customer’s own privacy notice governs, and individuals should direct requests to that customer.

Scope and Purpose

This Policy applies to the boardlens.ai website, BoardLens applications, communications, events, and all related online and offline services (collectively, the “Services”) operated by BoardLens, Inc. and its affiliates.

This Policy does not cover the practices of third parties we do not control, including third-party websites or services that may be linked from the Services.

Information We Collect

1. Information You Provide

When you request a demo, sign up, communicate with us, or respond to surveys, we may collect your name, email address, employer or organization, job title, and any other details you choose to share in those interactions.

2. Account and Billing Information

When you or your organization purchase a subscription, we (or our payment processors) collect account credentials, billing contact details, and transaction records. We do not store full payment card numbers; payments are handled by our third-party payment processors.

3. Automatic Data Collection

We collect certain technical information automatically, including your IP address, browser type, operating system, device identifiers, approximate location derived from IP address, and usage data such as page views, clicks, referring pages, and session duration.

4. Cookies and Tracking

Our Services use cookies and similar technologies. Strictly necessary cookies are required for the Services to function. For all non-essential cookies (including analytics and marketing cookies), we rely on your consent where required by law. You can manage your preferences at any time through our cookie banner or preference center, and you can also control cookies through your browser settings. Disabling certain cookies may affect functionality. See the “Cookies and Your Choices” section below for more detail.

5. Analytics

We use analytics tools such as Google Analytics to understand how users engage with our Services. You can opt out of Google Analytics via Google’s browser add-on. Where required by law, analytics cookies are set only after you consent.

6. Events

When you attend a BoardLens-hosted or sponsored event, we may collect your contact details and any insights you choose to share.

7. Public and Third-Party Sources

We may obtain or aggregate publicly available information (for example, from public directories or professional websites) and information from our business partners to enhance and validate our records and improve our Services.

8. Categories of Personal Information (California Notice)

In the preceding 12 months, we have collected the following categories of personal information, as defined by the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA/CPRA):

*We use sensitive personal information only to provide and secure the Services and for other purposes permitted by law that do not require offering a right to limit. We do not sell or share sensitive personal information, and we do not use it to infer characteristics.

We do not knowingly collect personal information from individuals under 18.

How We Use Personal Information

We use personal information to:

  • Provide, maintain, and secure the Services;
  • Respond to inquiries and support requests;
  • Process transactions and manage billing;
  • Communicate about product updates, events, or changes;
  • Personalize your experience;
  • Improve our tools and operations;
  • Conduct analytics and market research;
  • Detect, prevent, and address fraud, abuse, and security incidents; and
  • Comply with applicable laws and enforce our agreements.

If you authorize BoardLens to integrate with tools like Google Calendar or Outlook, we will access and use that data only as needed to provide the integration you requested and in accordance with your explicit permissions and the policies described here. Our use of information received from Google APIs adheres to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.

User-Uploaded Materials and Artificial Intelligence

Users may upload or store confidential board-related documents, such as presentations, reports, and meeting materials (“Board Materials”). These materials may contain personal or sensitive information.

We treat Board Materials with a high level of confidentiality and apply enterprise-grade security practices to protect them, including encryption in transit and at rest, access controls, and activity logging. Only users explicitly authorized by the customer organization can access these materials.

How we use AI

The BoardLens platform uses artificial intelligence to generate summaries, insights, and other synthesized outputs from Board Materials. To do this, we send relevant content to trusted AI service providers (“AI Subprocessors”) that process the content on our behalf solely to return outputs to you.

  • We do not use Board Materials to build, train, or fine-tune our own foundation models, and we do not use Board Materials for advertising or data resale.
  • Our AI Subprocessors process Board Materials only to provide outputs to us and are contractually prohibited from using your content to train or improve their models. We use these providers under their enterprise/commercial/API terms (not consumer tiers), and we enable zero- or limited-retention settings where available.
  • We access Board Materials only as needed to provide the Services, on your instruction, or as required by law.

AI-generated outputs are based on customer-provided inputs and may not always be complete or perfectly suited to every context. You are responsible for reviewing AI-generated content before relying on it.

A current list of our subprocessors, including AI Subprocessors, is available on request at contact@boardlens.ai.

Sharing and Disclosure

We may share personal information with:

  • Service providers and processors assisting us with infrastructure, hosting, AI processing, analytics, payments, support, or communications, under contracts that limit their use of the information to providing services to us;
  • Legal and safety recipients, where required to comply with applicable law, legal process, or government request, or to protect rights, safety, and property;
  • Corporate successors, in connection with a merger, acquisition, financing, or sale of all or part of our business, subject to appropriate confidentiality protections.

We do not “sell” your personal information, and we do not “share” it for cross-context behavioral advertising, as those terms are defined under the CCPA/CPRA.

Some analytics and advertising cookies may, however, constitute a “sale” or “share” under certain state laws; where that is the case, you can exercise the “Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information” choice described below.

Cookies and Your Choices

We use the following categories of cookies and similar technologies:

  • Strictly necessary — required for core functionality and security; always active.
  • Analytics/performance — help us understand usage (for example, Google Analytics).
  • Functional — remember your preferences.
  • Marketing — measure and support our marketing.

Where required by law (including in the EEA and UK), non-essential cookies are set only after you consent through our cookie banner. You can change or withdraw your choices at any time through our cookie preference center, and you can manage cookies through your browser. We honor Global Privacy Control (GPC) signals as an opt-out of “sale”/“share” where applicable. For a full list of the cookies we set and to manage your choices, see our Cookie Policy.

Your Privacy Rights

Depending on where you live, you may have some or all of the following rights:

  • Access the personal information we hold about you, and obtain a copy;
  • Correct inaccurate personal information;
  • Request deletion of your personal information;
  • Port your data to another provider (data portability);
  • Restrict or object to certain processing;
  • Withdraw consent at any time (without affecting prior processing);
  • Opt out of the “sale” or “sharing” of personal information and limit the use of sensitive personal information; and
  • Not receive discriminatory treatment for exercising your rights.

To exercise any of these rights, contact us at contact@boardlens.ai or use the request tools on our website. We will verify your request (typically by confirming control of the email associated with your information) before acting. You may use an authorized agent to submit a request on your behalf, with proof of authorization. We will not discriminate against you for exercising your rights.

If your personal information is contained in Board Materials controlled by a BoardLens customer, please direct your request to that customer; we will assist them as their processor.

California “Shine the Light.” California residents may request information about disclosures of personal information to third parties for their direct marketing purposes. We do not disclose personal information to third parties for their own direct marketing, so this is generally not applicable, but you may contact us to confirm.

Appeals. If we deny your request, you may appeal by replying to our decision; where required by law (for example, in Virginia, Colorado, and certain other states), we will respond to your appeal within the statutory period and tell you how to contact your state attorney general.

Security and Retention

We use industry-standard administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect your data, including encryption, access controls, and monitoring. No system is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

We retain personal information only as long as necessary for the purposes described in this Policy. In general:

  • Account and billing records are retained for the life of the account and for up to 7 years afterward to meet tax, audit, and legal requirements;
  • Marketing contact data is retained until you unsubscribe or object, and then suppressed;
  • Website analytics data is retained for up to 26 months;
  • Board Materials are retained according to our customer agreement and deleted or returned on termination as described in our Terms and Data Processing Addendum.

Where we cannot delete data immediately (for example, in backups), we isolate it from further use until deletion is possible.

International Transfers

BoardLens is based in the United States and may process and store personal data in the United States and other countries. When we transfer personal data out of the EEA, UK, or Switzerland, we use appropriate safeguards, such as the European Commission’s Standard Contractual Clauses (and the UK Addendum), to ensure your data receives an adequate level of protection.

General Policy Information

Children’s Privacy

Our Services are not intended for individuals under 18, and we do not knowingly collect personal data from children. If we learn that we have collected such data, we will delete it.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Policy from time to time. The current version is always posted on our website with the “Last Updated” date. If changes are material, we will notify you by reasonable means before they take effect.
