"
When Glean provides services to a business customer, Glean acts as a data processor on behalf of that customer, who is the data controller. In these cases, the customer's privacy policy and data practices govern the collection and use of personal data, and individuals should refer to the customer's privacy policy for information about how their personal data is handled. If you are an employee or user of one of our customers and have questions about your personal data, please contact your employer or the relevant customer directly.
