Privacy Policy: AI & Data Usage
At Ontario Consulting, we are committed to the ethical integration of AI. This policy explains how we handle your data when you interact with our Intelligence Hub, AI Agents Directory, and other digital frameworks.
1. Data Collection in the AI Directory
When you interact with our AI Agents or directories, we may collect:
- Prompt Data: The text or files you input to receive a response.
- Technical Context: IP address and browser type to optimize agent performance and prevent “Inference-to-Impact” latency.
- Usage Patterns: Which agents are queried most frequently to help us refine our OCIL (Innovation Lab) offerings.
2. How We Use Your Information
- Model Refinement: We may use anonymized prompt data to fine-tune our internal agentic frameworks. We do not sell your personal data to third-party LLM providers.
- Intelligence Hub Customization: To provide you with relevant agile and AI strategy insights based on your areas of interest.
- Communication: If you opt-in, we use your contact info to send updates regarding new “Beyond the Sticky Notes” webinar series or white papers.
3. Data Residency and Security
As a firm based in Ontario, Canada, we prioritize data sovereignty.
- Storage: We utilize secure, encrypted cloud environments.
- Third-Party AI Providers: When our agents leverage external models (e.g., OpenAI, Google Gemini), your data is processed according to “Enterprise-grade” privacy standards, which typically exclude your data from being used to train their public models.
4. Your Rights under PIPEDA
In accordance with the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA), you have the right to:
- Access the personal data we hold about you.
- Request the deletion of your interaction history with our AI tools.
- Withdraw consent for data processing at any time.
5. “Human-in-the-Loop” Transparency
For our high-level consulting engagements, AI-generated outputs are always reviewed by a senior innovation strategist. However, for public-facing website agents, outputs are generated in real-time. We encourage users to verify critical information before making strategic business decisions.
