Watch: subprocessors data sharing
Start here. These are the highest-risk verified clauses AIRIN found in the platform's own policy text.
States that GovGuard does not sell personal information, identifies the limited circumstances for disclosure (service providers/subprocessors, the Customer's administrators, legal process), and imposes contractual obligations on subprocessors to handle information consistently with the policy and applicable law — establishing both a restriction on selling and a contractual safeguard requirement for third-party vendors.
Enumerates permitted uses of collected information (service delivery, security, support, and product improvement via aggregated de-identified patterns) and expressly prohibits use of Customer Data to train publicly available AI models — the final sentence is a user-favorable restriction that prohibits training use of Customer Data.
Specifies that audit logs (including IP address, access time, and specific actions) are collected and made available to the Customer for compliance auditing purposes, granting the Customer a right to access these logs.
How to read this page: Overall risk rates what GovGuard's own policy terms mean for your prompts, outputs, and data. The benchmark bands below grade those same verified terms relative to peers — a platform in a risky-by-default category can rate HIGH risk and still grade STRONG against its peer set. Both trace to the cited findings.

Clause detail — protections, your obligations, and coverage
Every clause below is a verbatim quote from GovGuard's own published policy, read in full and linked to its exact location. Protections and user obligations are reported separately from risk because they are different kinds of clause — an obligation on you is not a risk to your data. Informational only, not legal advice.
