As businesses increasingly adopt Artificial Intelligence (AI) to optimize operations, understanding how these systems handle your data has become critical. When purchasing AI-based Software as a Service (SaaS), it’s important for decision-makers to know what happens behind the scenes from data collection to usage, access, and security.
This guide outlines eight key considerations to help you make informed decisions and highlights how Backoffice AI addresses them with transparency and responsibility. Whether you’re evaluating new AI solutions or reviewing your existing setup, these insights can guide your strategy.
Know exactly what type of data your provider collects. This might include user activity, system logs, or even sensitive business information. Clarifying this ensures you understand the balance between functionality and privacy.
Backoffice AI only collects the data necessary to deliver and improve services such as obscured order details and validated results. We prioritize minimizing data collection to protect your privacy and uphold transparency.
It’s essential to understand how your data is being used. Some providers use customer data only for service delivery, while others use it to refine their AI models. The distinction matters for both privacy and compliance.
Backoffice AI uses your data solely to provide and enhance our services. We maintain strict ethical standards and do not sell customer data under any circumstances.
Ask who can access your data and under what conditions. Understanding security protocols and administrative permissions helps you assess how well your data is protected from unauthorized access.
At Backoffice AI, access is limited to authorized personnel executing approved processes. Rigorous access controls and audit mechanisms ensure data integrity and system security.
Some AI vendors may share data with partners, affiliates, or research organizations. Always confirm whether your data could be shared and ensure transparency about how it’s safeguarded.
Backoffice AI does not share your data with third parties. Should a future collaboration require it, your explicit consent will always be obtained first.
Compliance with global privacy laws like GDPR or CCPA is non-negotiable when selecting AI solutions. Ensure that your provider has clear policies for data storage, processing, and deletion upon request.
Backoffice AI complies with international data protection regulations and maintains strict internal policies to ensure user data is handled securely throughout its lifecycle.
AI systems evolve through model tuning using data to enhance accuracy and performance. Understanding how this process affects your data is vital for evaluating both service quality and privacy risk.
At Backoffice AI, we use aggregated and anonymized data for model improvements. This allows continuous optimization of our AI while preserving individual data privacy.
Some industries may require clients to opt out of certain types of data to use. Check if your provider allows flexibility in data contribution for AI training or research.
Currently, Backoffice AI does not provide opt-out options for data used in model training. However, all such data is anonymized, ensuring it cannot be traced back to your organization.
Trustworthy providers are transparent about how they use data and how it impacts their AI models. Regular reporting builds confidence and helps customers make data-driven decisions about their partnerships.
Backoffice AI is committed to open communication. We keep our clients informed about important updates, data practices, and model enhancements that affect their operations.
