Security and Privacy at Parrot AI

Our First Design Principle

Since Day-1, your privacy, safety and security have been our top priority. Parrot AI’s team comes from the software security industry, having founded leading companies such as Netscout/Arbor Networks and VMware/Carbon Black. We built a product that we feel safe using.

What would a product need to do in order for us to feel comfortable inviting it into our meetings?

This was our first design principle for the product, and one we continue to worry and sweat over every day.

It might sound cliché, but we have done our best to build security and privacy into the product from the ground up — it is not an afterthought or a second class feature.

Safe and Secure AI

Parrot AI takes special care to ensure that you can take advantage of AI in a safe and secure way. To that end, we do several things that you won't find in a typical knowledge-base:

  • We keep track of who was in the meeting to ensure that knowledge is only shared within that group. You can always share it more broadly; however, our AI will never share knowledge outside of the group that you have already shared it with.
  • We will never 'train' our AI on your data.
  • We follow industry best-practices in the responsible use of AI technology.

Privacy

We have a robust privacy policy that can be viewed here.

Data Protection

Your data is your data — it’s not our data. We won’t share it with anyone without your permission. You can delete it if you want.

The support escalation process makes sure that no one at Parrot AI can see any of your pages, moments, or recordings unless you have given us explicit permission to do so. All access to customer data and customer meta-data is logged and monitored. These logs are then audited by a compliance process both inside our company as well as part of our ongoing SOC2 compliance process.

Data Encryption

Your data is encrypted everywhere, and all the time. It’s encrypted at rest; it’s encrypted in transit within our server architecture; and it is of course encrypted between our servers and content distribution network and your browser.

Access and Controls

Workspaces — both personal and shared — are password protected. Your password is stored in a one-way vault and can’t be extracted. Additionally, the product supports multi-factor authentication (MFA). Making the product both secure and delightful to use are important to us, and we will continue to invest heavily in access control features moving foward.

Individual users control who has access to their recordings. Granting access to a moment from within a recording does not confer access to the original recording.

Infrastructure

Parrot AI uses Amazon Web Services for most of its components. AWS uses state of the art approaches to ensuring the overall security of our infrastructure.

Organizational Security

The majority of our founding team came from the security industry after having worked on security products for decades. Additionally, all our employees complete ongoing security training — we think it’s fun!

Access to customer data is restricted to a limited group of employees — and as described above they must have explicit permission from a customer before they can escalate their priveleges to troubleshoot any problems.

We also scrutinize our vendors to ensure they also maintain expected levels of security controls.

Compliance and Regulations

We are committed to complying with GDPR. For more details on GDPR, please see GDPR at Parrot AI which has information about our Data Processing Agreement, our practices and our sub-processors.

We are also SOC2 Type 2 certified ensuring that our security policies and controls continuously meet the highest industry standards.

Responsible Disclosure Policy

Parrot AI takes the security and safety of its platform and of its users very seriously. We recognize the critical role that external security researchers and developers play in helping keep our community safe. As with most security research programs, we ask that you use common sense when looking for security bugs.

Vulnerabilities must be disclosed to us privately with reasonable time to respond, and avoid compromise of other users and accounts. We do not consider denial of service, spam, or social engineering vulnerabilities to be covered under our safe harbor. If you believe that you have found a security vulnerability you may responsibly disclose it by emailing our security team at security@parrot.ai (optionally using our PGP key below) under the same responsible disclosure terms outlined in the program brief.

In case you need to communicate securely with us about anything — especially around disclosure and vulnerabilities:
