6. Information collected when you use the Plagius software

6.1 Document processing

The main analysis is performed locally on the computer where Plagius is installed. The full document is not sent in its entirety to our servers.

For certain functionalities, the software may send only disconnected fragments of the analyzed text.

6.2 Licensing and verification of authorized use

For activation, license validation, and prevention of unauthorized use, the program may send the activation key in encrypted (hash) form together with technical identifiers linked to the computer where the software is installed.

These identifiers may include:

  • processor identifier;
  • disk volume number;
  • Windows user name;
  • domain name, when applicable.

This information is used exclusively to:

  • validate licenses;
  • link the license to the authorized device;
  • prevent fraud;
  • preserve the integrity of the licensing system.

6.3 Statistical data and product improvement

We may collect technical and statistical data related to software usage, such as:

  • installed version;
  • local index storage usage;
  • analyzed file formats;
  • analysis duration;
  • number of analyzed words;
  • number of errors;
  • technical performance metrics.

Whenever possible, these data are processed in aggregated form or with reduced direct linkage to the user.

6.4 Encryption and security

Communications between the Plagius software and our services use market-compatible technical measures, including encryption in transit where applicable.

6.5 Use of external search engines

Plagius uses internet search engines for part of its analyses. Fragments of the analyzed text, usually between 7 and 13 words, may be sent to those services.

We do not control the privacy policies of those third parties, and we recommend that sensitive or confidential data not be used in external searches.

6.6 AI detection feature

The AI detection feature may send isolated paragraphs from analyzed documents to our servers for processing.

These excerpts are deleted within up to 48 hours after the analysis is completed.

We seek to dissociate such content from direct user identifiers whenever operationally possible.

7. Information sharing

We do not sell personal data.

Data may be shared, when necessary, with third parties acting as processors or service providers, such as:

  • payment processors;
  • hosting and infrastructure providers;
  • email and customer support services;
  • technical support tools;
  • external mechanisms necessary for product functionality;
  • public authorities, when there is a legal obligation.

Whenever applicable, we seek to require adequate processing consistent with this Policy.

8. International data transfers

Some technology providers or services used by GH Software Ltda may store or process data outside Brazil.

In such cases, we will adopt reasonable measures to select providers that observe adequate data protection standards, as applicable.

9. Data retention and storage

Data may be kept for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes of this Policy, including:

  • the duration of the contractual relationship;
  • support and licensing history;
  • compliance with legal, tax, and regulatory obligations;
  • fraud prevention;
  • regular exercise of rights.

Where appropriate, data will be deleted, anonymized, or kept in a legally permitted manner after the relevant purpose ends.

10. Your rights as a data subject

When applicable, you may request:

  • confirmation that processing exists;
  • access to data;
  • correction of incomplete, inaccurate, or outdated data;
  • anonymization, blocking, or deletion in the cases provided by law;
