SECURITY

On-site Data Security

Facilities are biometrically secured to a project level; rooms and data are not accessible to employees who aren't part of the project. All data is accessed on-site via secure connections. Production staff complete background checks before they begin work on any Sama customer data, and for highly sensitive projects we conduct additional, more rigorous background checks for all employees involved.

PRIVACY

Data Privacy Without Compromise

As a global enterprise that strongly supports data protection and data privacy regulations, we recognize the challenges that processing PII poses for our customers, and we are uniquely positioned to help. We understand our responsibilities as a processor, and the fact that we use a dedicated employee workforce means that we can offer the level of control and visibility required to help our customers comply with all applicable law.

COMPLIANCE

Data privacy and data security are fundamental design requirements in our technologies, services, business practices, and operations. Our customers trust us to deliver high-quality and secure training data at scale, and we do so by following security best practices in everything we do—from our tech stack to our physical spaces.
