1. Executive Summary
Nobel Link (“Nobel Link,” “we,” “our,” “us“) is a technology consulting and managed‑services provider specializing in cloud native solutions, data analytics, and applied artificial intelligence (AI). Our clients range from venture‑backed start‑ups to Fortune 500 enterprises operating in highly regulated verticals. Because trust is the foundation of every client relationship, we adhere to globally recognized privacy frameworks—including GDPR, CCPA/CPRA, LGPD, PIPEDA, and ISO/IEC 27701—to safeguard personal information and uphold individual rights. This Policy explains, in plain yet comprehensive language, how we collect, use, share, secure, and eventually delete or anonymize the information entrusted to us.
Key Takeaways
- No Sales of Personal Data: We do not sell or rent personal information to third parties.
- Full Transparency: We disclose every category of personal data we process, every purpose, and every third‑party processor we engage.
- Privacy by Design: From architecture to code reviews, privacy considerations are embedded in every phase of product development.
- Granular Control: Users can access, correct, delete, port, or restrict their data through a self‑service Privacy Portal.
- Robust Security: Encryption, zero‑trust network micro‑segmentation, regular penetration testing, and SOC 2 Type II audits underpin our defensive posture.
2. Our Commitment to Privacy by Design
We embrace the seven foundational principles articulated by the late Dr. Ann Cavoukian:
- Proactive not Reactive; Preventative not Remedial
- Privacy as the Default Setting
- Privacy Embedded into Design
- Full Functionality—Positive‑Sum, not Zero‑Sum
- End‑to‑End Security—Full Lifecycle Protection
- Visibility & Transparency—Keep it Open
- Respect for User Privacy—Keep it User‑Centric
Every new feature undergoes a Privacy Impact Assessment (PIA) within our Secure Development Lifecycle (SDLC). Engineers must document data flows, retention periods, and encryption controls before code can be merged. Our Product Council—comprising legal, security, and data ethics leads—reviews and approves each PIA.
3. Scope of This Policy
Covered Entities & Services
This Policy governs personal information processed by Nobel Link in connection with:
- The Nobel Link Website—https://nobellink.co and sub‑domains (“Site“).
- Professional Services—technology advisory, solution architecture, cloud‑migration projects, MLOps, and data engineering engagements.
- Managed Services—ongoing cloud optimization, 24×7 infrastructure monitoring, model hosting, and DevSecOps automation.
- SaaS Products—Nobel Platform™ (analytics portal), LinkAI™ (LLM orchestration), and InsightHub™ (real‑time dashboards).
- Developer Platform & APIs—REST and GraphQL endpoints, SDKs, webhooks, and CLI tools.
- Events & Communities—webinars, user groups, hackathons, and our annual Nobel Next conference.
Exclusions
- Customer‑Controlled Workloads: When clients deploy workloads on their own cloud accounts under bring‑your‑own‑cloud (BYOC) models, they act as independent controllers.
- Third‑Party Sites: Our Site may link to third‑party resources; their policies apply.
4. Definitions
For clarity, we use the following terms throughout this Policy. Additional jurisdiction‑specific definitions appear in the Regional Supplements.
- “Personal Information” (PI) —Any information that identifies, relates to, describes, or could reasonably be linked, directly or indirectly, to an individual.
- “Sensitive Personal Information” (SPI) —PI that reveals race, ethnicity, religious beliefs, precise geolocation, genetic data, health data, or union membership; also government IDs and children’s data.
- “Processing” —Any operation performed on PI, such as collection, storage, use, disclosure, or deletion.
- “Controller” / “Business” —The entity that determines the purposes and means of processing.
- “Processor” / “Service Provider” —The entity that processes PI on behalf of a Controller.
- “AI Training Data” —Any data ingested to train, fine‑tune, or evaluate machine‑learning models.
- “Anonymization” —Irreversible transformation of PI such that an individual can no longer be identified.
- “Pseudonymization” —Transformation that reduces linkability but could be reversed with additional information kept separately.
- “Sub‑Processor” —A third‑party service engaged by Nobel Link to process PI on our behalf.
5. Data Protection Principles
We adhere to the following principles enshrined in GDPR Article 5 and mirrored across global laws:
- Lawfulness, Fairness, & Transparency
- Purpose Limitation
- Data Minimization
- Accuracy
- Storage Limitation
- Integrity & Confidentiality
- Accountability
We document compliance via our Record of Processing Activities (ROPA) and submit to independent audits annually.
6. Information We Collect
Below is an exhaustive, non‑exclusive list of PI categories we collect, the sources, and illustrative examples. A full schema with data elements, retention periods, and lawful bases is maintained in Annex H (ROPA Summary).

Data About Children
We do not knowingly collect PI from individuals under the age of 16. If you believe we have inadvertently collected such data, please contact us so we can delete it promptly.
7. How We Collect Information
- Direct Interactions – Registration forms, sales contracts, GitHub OAuth, verbally on discovery calls, badge scans at events.
- Automated Technologies – Server access logs, application telemetry (OpenTelemetry), cookies, single‑pixel gifs, SDKs (Mobile), local storage, and device sensors on IoT prototypes.
- Third‑Party Sources – Business contact databases (e.g., Apollo.io, Crunchbase), public blockchain explorers, social networks, joint‑marketing partners, and publicly available government records.
- Client Integrations – Connectors and ETL pipelines ingesting data from systems like Salesforce, Netsuite, Snowflake, S3, Azure Blob, and GCP BigQuery under client controller instructions.
Each ingestion path is inventoried in our Data Catalog and mapped to downstream processing activities.
8. Legal Bases for Processing
GDPR (EU/EEA & UK)
- Contractual Necessity (Art. 6 (1)(b)) – Creating accounts, delivering cloud resources, processing payments.
- Legitimate Interest (Art. 6 (1)(f)) – Network security, fraud prevention, product analytics (balanced against your rights).
- Consent (Art. 6 (1)(a)) – Non‑essential cookies, marketing emails, LLM prompt retention for R&D, event photography.
- Legal Obligation (Art. 6 (1)(c)) – Tax filings, export‑control compliance, bookkeeping.
- Vital Interest (Art. 6 (1)(d)) – Threat intelligence feeds used to mitigate active cyber‑attacks.
CCPA/CPRA (California)
We process PI as a “Service Provider” to our B2B clients and as a “Business” for our own operations. We honor opt‑out requests and limit SPI to permissible business purposes under Cal. Civ. Code §1798.121.
LGPD (Brazil)
Legal bases include consent, contract performance, legitimate interest, and exercise of rights in judicial processes. Cross‑border transfers rely on SCCs or adequacy decisions.
A detailed matrix aligning each data category with its legal bases across 12 jurisdictions appears in Annex G (TOMs Matrix).
9. How We Use Information
- Service Delivery & Account Management – Provision Kubernetes clusters, generate API keys, monitor SLA metrics, and fulfill support tickets.
- Product Research & Development – Train domain‑specific language models, benchmark algorithm accuracy, A/B test new UI flows.
- Security & Fraud Prevention – Detect credential‑stuffing via rate limiting, analyze anomaly logs, enforce conditional access policies.
- Communications – Transactional alerts (e.g., “deployment succeeded”), product release notes, billing reminders, and incident notifications.
- Marketing & Community Engagement – Send newsletters, feature case studies, invite users to webinars, issue swag rewards through third‑party fulfillment partners.
- Compliance & Legal – Respond to lawful requests, conduct audits, maintain statutory records, and defend against legal claims.
- Corporate Governance – Evaluate or complete mergers, acquisitions, or financing transactions subject to confidentiality agreements.
We never use sensitive categories (e.g., health, biometric, or children’s data) for targeted advertising or cross‑context behavioral profiling.
10. Profiling & Automated Decision‑Making
We employ machine‑learning for security analytics (e.g., anomaly detection) and product personalization (e.g., recommended dashboards). These do not involve decisions that produce legal or similarly significant effects on individuals without human oversight. If such use cases arise, we will implement robust safeguards—including explainability mechanisms, fairness assessments, and opt‑out pathways—and update this Policy accordingly.
11. Cookies & Similar Technologies
Our Site deploys four classes of cookies:
- Strictly Necessary – Session management, load balancing, authenticity tokens.
- Performance – Google Analytics 4 with IP anonymization, Hotjar heatmaps (blurred input fields).
- Functional – Remembering language preferences and dark‑mode toggles.
- Advertising – LinkedIn Insight Tag, Google Ads Conversion ID (loaded only after explicit opt‑in).
We provide a granular Cookie Banner powered by Cookiebot. You can revoke consent at any time via the “Cookie Settings” link in the footer or by broadcasting the Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal via compatible browsers. Detailed cookie durations and providers appear in Annex A.
12. Sharing & Disclosure
We disclose PI strictly under one or more of the following circumstances:
- Service Providers & Sub‑Processors – Cloud hosting (AWS us‑east‑1, eu‑central‑1), email delivery (SendGrid), CRM (HubSpot), error monitoring (Sentry), observability (Datadog). Contracts include the latest SCCs, data‑processing agreements (DPAs), and audit‑right clauses.
- Professional Advisors – Legal counsel, auditors, insurers bound by confidentiality.
- Corporate Transactions – In merger or acquisition scenarios, PI may be transferred subject to advance notice and continued protection.
- Legal & Regulatory – Government authorities when required by law or court order. We scrutinize every request for over‑breadth and push back when appropriate.
- With Consent – When you explicitly authorize us to share information, such as publishing a customer testimonial with your name and logo.
A real‑time sub‑processor list is available in our Trust Center and appended in Annex B.
13. International Data Transfers
Nobel Link is headquartered in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA but operates globally. Accordingly, PI may be transferred to—and stored on—servers in countries outside your jurisdiction. We rely on:
- EU Standard Contractual Clauses (2021/914) and UK International Data Transfer Addendum
- Adequacy Decisions (e.g., Japan, Switzerland, Israel)
- Binding Corporate Rules (application in progress)
- Intra‑Group Data Transfer Agreements for our regional subsidiaries (Nobel Link Canada Inc., Nobel Link Pty Ltd AU, Nobel Link Ltd UK).
We conduct Transfer Impact Assessments (TIAs) for each destination and implement supplementary measures such as end‑to‑end encryption and segmentation of key material (Bring‑Your‑Own‑Key).
14. Security Measures
Governance & Certifications
- ISO/IEC 27001:2022 – Controls aligned; external certification expected Q4 2025.
- SOC 2 Type II – Audited annually; report available under NDA.
- PCI‑DSS v4.0 – Attestation of Compliance for payment environments.
- CSA STAR Level 1 – Self‑assessment published.
Technical Controls
- Encryption – TLS 1.3 in transit, AES‑256 GCM at rest.
- Zero‑Trust Network – Authentication via short‑lived OIDC tokens, micro‑segmented service mesh (Istio).
- MFA & Passwordless – WebAuthn‑based hardware keys mandatory for privileged engineers.
- Secrets Management – HashiCorp Vault with auto‑unseal via AWS KMS.
- Vulnerability Management – Continuous scanning (AWS Inspector), weekly SAST, monthly DAST, third‑party pentests.

Nobel Link develops and hosts large‑language models (LLMs) and computer‑vision models tailored to client domains. All training data undergoes:
- Data Provenance Audit – Confirm that data was obtained lawfully with appropriate licenses.
- Bias & Fairness Review – Assess disparate impact across protected classes.
- PI Minimization – Remove direct identifiers unless strictly required (“privacy budgets”).
Model Monitoring & Governance
We track drift, hallucination rates, toxicity scores, and watermark generated content. Clients can request deletion of prompts or embeddings via API.
21. API & Developer Platform Privacy
Our APIs allow developers to programmatically interact with Nobel Platform™. API usage is logged—including client IP, authentication method, request payload size, and response status—for security and capacity planning. We prohibit sending children’s data, payment card primary account numbers, or protected health information (PHI) unless explicitly covered under a Business Associate Agreement (BAA).
22. Third‑Party Links & Integrations
Our Sites and dashboards may include links or SDK integrations to external services such as GitHub, Stripe, and Zapier. When you interact with these services, your data is governed by their respective privacy policies. We encourage you to review them.
23. Do Not Track & Global Privacy Control
We honor the Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal by disabling non‑essential cookies and downstream data sharing. At present, industry standards for Do Not Track (DNT) are unsettled; therefore, except for GPC, we treat DNT signals as opt‑outs for advertising cookies only.
