Nitro AI: Purpose and data handling

Nitro designs AI tools to enhance document processing efficiently, securely, and ethically. We do not create proprietary generative AI models or share your data with third parties for model training. Instead, we use established generative AI models that process data only for the tasks you request.

Our primary AI tool, Document Assistant, is powered by Azure OpenAI and hosted in a secure environment controlled by Nitro. Azure OpenAI follows responsible AI principles to safeguard data and maintain high security standards. You can learn more about Microsoft’s AI principles here.
