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.
