Effective Date: April 14, 2025
1. Introduction
Tier 1 AI ("Tier 1", "we", "us", or "our") respects and is committed to protecting the personal data of our website visitors, customers, and partners. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, share, and protect your personal information when you use our website, applications, and services (collectively, the "Services").
Throughout this policy, we use the term "personal information" to describe information that can be associated with a specific person and can be used to identify that person.

Our Services may integrate with third-party platforms (e.g., LinkedIn, Google Workspace, Slack, and others) to provide users with productivity tools, such as AI-powered assistance for responding to messages, managing tasks, and organizing communications.
By using the products and services offered on the Site (collectively, the "Services"), you agree to the practices described in this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree to this Privacy Policy, please do not access the Site or otherwise use the Services.
