How does CEART handle confidentiality and privacy? Does CEARTscore learn from or train on customer project data?

CEARTscore applies a General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)-aligned anonymization process that irreversibly removes personally and company-identifiable information from uploaded data. Once anonymized, the data cannot be re-identified or linked back to a customer organization, its clients, projects, or sites, and is used only to establish broader industry trends and standards. CEARTscore also uses uploaded data to provide, secure, and improve its services while maintaining strong security safeguards. CEART is actively progressing toward SOC 2 certification, reinforcing its commitment to industry-recognized standards for data security and operational integrity.

Can CEARTscore analyze documents and produce reports in various languages?

Yes. CEARTscore uses AI engineering to analyze documents and generate reports in multiple languages, making it easier to review and share findings across international teams.

How and when are new diligence questions and assessments added to the platform?

New questions and assessments are added on a regular basis as the industry evolves and as the AI processes more deals. Over time it develops a deeper understanding of which questions matter most for specific deal types, making the assessments sharper and more relevant. The process is grounded in real deal experience and continuously reviewed.
