2.  Scope

This policy applies to:

  • Public‑facing content – collinear.ai and any microsites, blogs, marketing pages, videos, and docs portals we host.
  • Customer communications – emails, slide decks, knowledge‑base articles, and in‑app help.
  • Internal tools that affect employee or contractor productivity.
