How is the data entered into the Frontline Copilot® features transmitted to external service providers?

All data transfers are using state-of-the-art secure connections. Where possible, connections are established via virtual private networks (Azure Vnet Peering, AWS PrivateLink, Site-to-site VPN). All public connections are using HTTPS, a widely-accepted standard for secure data transmission.

Is the data transmitted to external service providers for Frontline Copilot® features retained by them and/or used for training models?

Data transmitted to external service providers is only used by them to provide the core service it was transmitted for. No data is retained or used for training models. The service providers we work with either have appropriate policies by default or offer the ability to opt out of any data use beyond providing the core service. For the latter, Tulip has fully opted out of any such use. For details, see the policies listed below.
