# Communication and privacy

## Privacy

Redivis will never, ever distribute your personal information to a third party. 

When you apply for access to an organization's datasets, they will be able to see some information pertinent to your membership in their organization:

* Full name
* Contact email
* Email / institutional identifier
* Affiliation, if provided by your institution's identity provider

## Cookies, analytics, and tracking

Redivis does not use any third-party cookies or analytics tracking services. Information about your usage of Redivis is solely maintained within Redivis-controlled servers, and is only gathered insofar as is necessary for maintaining functionality. When browsing the site as an unauthenticated user, Redivis does not track your activity or set any session cookies. Once logged in, a cookie is set to establish your login session so that you can interface with non-public resources.

## Notifications and emails

Redivis provides notifications when data access applications you've submitted change status, receive a comment, or are about to expire. These notifications will always be available in your Redivis workspace. We will also send a notification email to your contact email, though this can be disabled in your [workspace settings](https://docs.redivis.com/reference/workspace#settings). 

Redivis also sends a monthly newsletter focused on recent product and community updates. You may opt-in to receive this email, though it is turned off by default.

## AI assistant

If you would like to leverage AI to explore Redivis capabilities in a conversational format, you can launch the AI assistant from any page of the Redivis platform by clicking the AI button in the top bar or typing ⌘I. This assistant can answer questions about how to use Redivis or generate sample code for an analysis you're working on. 

This assistant has access to the Redivis documentation and API documentation. No data or information from your Redivis account, datasets, or workflows is ever made available to this AI model, and your prompts and responses are discarded and never used for additional model training.
