Scope of this Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy applies to Coverbase’s products and services, including applicable mobile and desktop applications (collectively, the “Services”), Coverbase.ai and other Coverbase websites (collectively, the “Websites”) and other interactions (e.g., customer service inquiries, user conferences, etc.) you may have with Coverbase. If you do not agree with the terms, do not access or use the Services, Websites, or any other aspect of Coverbase's business.
This Privacy Policy does not apply to any third-party applications or software that integrate with the Services through the Coverbase platform ("Third-Party Services"), or any other third-party products, services or businesses. In addition, a separate agreement governs delivery, access, and use of the Services (the "MSA"), including the processing of any data submitted through the Services ("Service Data"). The organization (e.g., your employer or another entity or person) that agreed to the MSA ("Customer") controls its instance of the Services and any associated Service Data (the "Customer Instance").
Information Coverbase Collects and Receives
Coverbase may collect, generate, and receive Service Data and other information and data ("Other Information"; Service Data and Other Information collectively "Information") in a variety of ways:
Service data. Customers and individuals granted access to a Customer Instance by a Customer ("Authorized Users") may submit Service Data to Coverbase when using the Services.
Website submissions. When you submit a form on our website (including demo requests or contact forms), Coverbase may collect and use the information you provide in connection with the Services, including to communicate with you about Coverbase and its offerings. You may opt out of marketing communications at any time by following the unsubscribe instructions included in such communications.
Other Information
Services metadata. When an Authorized User interacts with the Services, metadata is generated that provides additional context about the way Authorized Users interact with the Services. For example, Coverbase logs what Third Party Services are connected with the Services (if any).
Log data. As with most technology services delivered over the Internet, our servers automatically collect information when you access or use our Websites or Services and record it in log files. This log data may include the Internet Protocol (IP) address, the address of the web page visited before using the Website or Services, browser type and settings, the date and time the Services were used, information about browser configuration and plugins, language preferences and cookie data.
Device information. Coverbase collects information about devices accessing the Services, including type of device, what operating system is used, device settings, application IDs, unique device identifiers and crash data. Whether Coverbase collects some or all of this information often depends on the type of device used and its settings.
Location information. Coverbase receives information from you, your Customer and other third parties that may help Coverbase approximate your location. Coverbase may, for example, use a business address submitted by your employer, or an IP address received from your browser or device to determine approximate location. Coverbase may also collect location information from devices in accordance with the consent process provided by your device.
Cookie information. Coverbase uses cookies and similar technologies in our Websites and Services to help us collect Other Information. The Websites and Services may also include cookies and similar tracking technologies of third parties, which may collect Other Information about you via the Websites and Services and across other websites and online services. For more details about how Coverbase uses these technologies, and your opt-out opportunities and other options, please see Coverbase’s Cookie Policy.
Third-Party Services. A Customer can connect Third-Party Services to its Customer Instance. Typically, Third-Party Services are software services that integrate with Coverbase Services, and a Customer can permit its Authorized Users to enable and disable these integrations for its Customer Instance. Coverbase may also develop and offer Coverbase applications that connect the Services with a Third-Party Service. Once enabled, the provider of a Third-Party Service may share certain information with Coverbase. For example, if a single sign-on service is connected with Coverbase, Coverbase may receive the username and email address of Authorized Users, along with additional information that the application has elected to make available to Coverbase to facilitate the integration. Authorized Users should check the privacy settings and notices in these Third-Party Services to understand what data may be disclosed to Coverbase. When a Third-Party Service is enabled, Coverbase is authorized to connect and access Other Information made available to Coverbase in accordance with any permission(s) granted by Customer (including, by its Authorized User(s)). Coverbase does not, however, receive or store passwords for any of these Third-Party Services when connecting them to the Services.
Contact information. An Authorized User is required to provide some contact information (e.g., an email address) when making an account on the Services.
Third-party data. Coverbase may receive data about organizations, industries, lists of companies that are customers, Website visitors, marketing campaigns and other matters related to our business from affiliates and subsidiaries, our partners, or others that Coverbase engages with to make Coverbase’s own information better or more useful. This data may be combined with Other Information Coverbase collects and might include aggregate-level data, such as which IP addresses correspond to zip codes or countries. Or it might be more specific: for example, how well an online marketing or email campaign performed.
Additional information provided to Coverbase. Coverbase receives Other Information when submitted to our Websites or in other ways, such as if you participate in a focus group, contest, activity or event, apply for a job, enroll in an educational program hosted by Coverbase or a vendor, request support, interact with our social media accounts or otherwise communicate with Coverbase.
Model Context Protocol (MCP) Connector
Coverbase publishes an MCP connector that allows authorized users to interact with their Coverbase account through compatible AI assistants such as Claude. This section describes how data flows when you use the connector.
What data is involved. When you connect, the AI assistant sends your queries to the Coverbase MCP server. The server then calls Coverbase APIs on your behalf and returns the results to the assistant, which renders them in the conversation. The data exchanged is limited to the Coverbase records your user account is permitted to access: vendor records, assessments, findings, contracts, obligations, audit trail entries, custom field values, notes, and related metadata.
Data minimization. The connector only accesses the data necessary to perform the specific tool the assistant invokes, and only within the scope your account is authorized for under your organization's role and permission settings. It does not browse, bulk-export, or retain Coverbase data beyond what is needed to fulfill each request.
Authentication. The connector uses OAuth 2.0. We do not store the AI assistant provider's credentials, and the AI assistant provider does not receive your Coverbase password.
What we collect. When the connector is invoked, we log the OAuth user identity, the tool called, the parameters passed, the timestamp, and the outcome (success or error). These logs are used for security monitoring, debugging, abuse prevention, and audit. They are retained in line with the retention periods described elsewhere in this policy.
What we do not collect. We do not retain the prompts you send to the AI assistant, the conversation context the assistant maintains, or the assistant's responses to you. We do not collect data outside the scope of the specific tool calls made by the assistant. We do not access your assistant's chat history, memory, or other files.
Third parties. The AI assistant provider (for example, Anthropic) is a separate controller for the prompts you send to it and the responses it generates. Their handling of your data is governed by their own privacy policy. Review their policy before connecting.
Disconnecting. You can revoke the connector at any time from your Coverbase account settings or from the AI assistant's connector settings. Revocation invalidates the OAuth token immediately.
Questions. Contact privacy@coverbase.ai for MCP-specific privacy questions.
