Privacy Policy
Version 1.0 · Effective April 2025 · ANIML Health
1. Who We Are
ANIML Health operates the VAULT benchmark platform. References to "we", "us", and "our" in this policy refer to ANIML Health. Contact: benchmark@animl.health.
2. Information We Collect
Account information: When you apply for access, we collect your name, email address, organization name, organization type, and a description of your intended use case.
Technical information: IP address, browser user agent, timestamps of API calls and logins. This data is used for security monitoring and audit trail purposes.
Model and benchmark data: Model names, endpoint URLs, authentication credentials (stored encrypted), benchmark run parameters, and aggregate result metrics.
Email communications: If you contact us, we retain those communications to respond to your enquiry.
3. How We Use Your Information
- → To process and review access requests
- → To operate the benchmark platform and generate reports
- → To communicate with you about your account and benchmark results
- → To maintain security, detect fraud, and enforce our policies
- → To comply with legal obligations
- → To improve the platform (using aggregate, anonymized analytics only)
We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal data with third parties for marketing purposes.
4. Data Sharing
We share personal data only in the following circumstances:
- — With service providers who process data on our behalf (e.g., database hosting, email delivery) under data processing agreements
- — If required by law, court order, or regulatory authority
- — To protect the rights, property, or safety of ANIML Health, our users, or the public
5. Data Security
We employ industry-standard security measures including AES-256 encryption for sensitive data at rest, TLS 1.2+ for data in transit, role-based access controls, and immutable audit logging. Model endpoint credentials are stored encrypted and never returned in full via the API.
Despite these measures, no internet transmission is 100% secure. We recommend participants use strong, unique credentials and promptly revoke any keys that may be compromised.
6. Data Retention
We retain account and benchmark data for the duration of your active participation and for up to 2 years following account termination, after which data is deleted or anonymized, except where retention is required by law.
To request deletion of your data, email benchmark@animl.health with subject "Data Deletion Request".
7. Cookies
VAULT uses session cookies strictly necessary for authentication. We do not use tracking cookies or third-party advertising cookies. Analytics, if used, are limited to aggregate, privacy-preserving tools.
8. Your Rights
Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or export your personal data, or to object to certain processing. Contact us at benchmark@animl.health to exercise any of these rights. We will respond within 30 days.
9. Changes to This Policy
We may update this policy from time to time. Material changes will be communicated via email to registered participants. Continued use of the platform after the effective date constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
