Privacy and safety

You decide which AI tools can use your Sharelatch account, and you can see everything they did.

What an AI tool can see

• Titles and file names of documents, and the names and addresses of links.
• Each link's rules, as words such as "password, downloads on". Never the password itself.
• Reading numbers: views, people, reading time, the busiest days, and the parts people read most.
• For each viewer, their city, country, device and browser, and their email only if your link asked for it.
• Your plan and how much of it you've used.

What it can't see or do

• It can't read the text of your documents. A document can hold hidden instructions written to trick an AI tool into doing something you didn't ask for, such as turning off a password. And a protected document's text shouldn't leave Sharelatch unless you choose that. So no tool returns a document's text.
• It never sees viewers' IP addresses.
• It can't delete your documents, links or versions. You do that in the app. When you ask it to change a link's address, it can remove the old address, but it asks you first.
• It can only use one workspace: the one you chose when you clicked Allow. To use another, connect again and choose it.

When you connect

• You sign in to Sharelatch yourself, in your own browser. Your AI tool never sees your sign-in.
• The Allow page shows the AI tool's name and the workspace it will use. Nothing is connected until you click Allow.
• Sharelatch emails you each time a new AI tool connects to your account. If you didn't connect it, disconnect it straight away.

Seeing what it did

• The AI tools page in Sharelatch lists every connected AI tool and its workspace. Show activity lists what each one did, such as "Published Q3 summary" or "Turned off the link".
• Activity is kept for 90 days. It records the action and the document or link, never a document's contents.
• A document an AI tool published says "Published from" with the tool's name, in the app.

Disconnecting

On the AI tools page, click Disconnect next to the AI tool. It stops working straight away, and it would need you to sign in and click Allow again to come back.

The same rules as the app

Everything an AI tool publishes follows the same rules as an upload in the app: the same file checks, the same limits, and the same viewer pages. Viewers are always told that reading is tracked.
