Polymer
Polymer identifies, analyzes, and mitigates real-time security risks across AI and SaaS ecosystems by detecting sensitive data, enforcing context-driven policies, and automating remediation at runtime. Built for enterprises, it monitors data in motion and at rest, manages human and AI identities, and enables compliance with frameworks like HIPAA, SOC 2, and GDPR through continuous scanning of millions of data assets.
Polymer is a runtime data security platform designed for enterprises managing sensitive data across AI and SaaS applications. It identifies, classifies, and automatically blocks data exposure in real time by continuously monitoring data in motion and at rest, detecting violations against custom, context-driven security policies, and enforcing remediation actions—such as redaction, access revocation, and custom workflows—without requiring manual intervention. The platform combines identity-aware detection with AI-powered content inspection, supporting 500+ pre-built entities and custom NLP rules, while managing both human and non-human identities to control data interactions. Polymer addresses the emerging threat of AI agents in enterprise workflows through browser extension controls for LLM interactions and insider threat visibility with real-time risk scoring and employee nudges. It scales to millions of data assets daily and generates audit logs mapped to regulatory frameworks including HIPAA, SOC 2, CCPA, and GDPR, enabling organizations to demonstrate continuous compliance. Available in cloud or self-hosted single-tenant deployment with seamless integration into existing tech stacks, Polymer is built for enterprises seeking to reduce security operations overhead—customers report reducing alert management from 8 hours per week to near zero—while maintaining 99% accuracy in sensitive data detection.
Polymer collects usage data and may use it to improve services, but explicitly states it does not train on user content
No training opt-out mechanism was identified in the legal documents.
High risk across multiple dimensions. Only use with public, non-sensitive data.
Polymer collects usage data and may use it to improve services, but explicitly states it does not train on user content for AI models. However, they reserve broad rights to use, modify, and create derivative works from user content for service provision and improvement, which creates moderate risk.
“Polymer may collect or generate Usage Data...Polymer owns all right, title and interest...and may use such Usage Data for any lawful purpose without credit or compensation to you.”
The license granted by users to Polymer is extremely broad. Users grant a worldwide, royalty-free, fully-paid-up, non-exclusive, sublicensable, transferable license to use, reproduce, modify, adapt, create derivative works, and publicly display user content for service provision and improvement.
“you grant Polymer and its service providers a worldwide, royalty-free, fully-paid-up, non-exclusive, sublicensable, transferable license to use, reproduce, modify, adapt, create derivative works from...Your Content”
Polymer shares de-identified data with partners and may share information with agents, service providers, and in business transfers. They integrate with third-party platforms (Slack, Google) and transmit data to them. However, they state they don't sell personally identifiable information, creating moderate risk.
“we may aggregate and share de-identified Personal Information with third parties...We employ other companies and people to perform tasks on our behalf and need to share your information with them”
Polymer has a defined retention policy with some flexibility. Metadata is retained for 12 months, physical data assets for 1 month (adjustable 1-365 days). However, they reserve rights to retain data as needed for legal obligations and business requirements, creating moderate risk.
“Polymer treats metadata of users...as semi-sensitive and is stored for 12 months in an encrypted format. Physical data assets...for 1 month retention period...can be reduced to minimum of 1 day retention to maximum of 365 days”
Polymer claims ownership of all output and derivative works created from user content. Users retain no ownership rights to outputs or improvements. Polymer also owns all usage data and suggestions provided by users.
“Polymer owns all right, title and interest (including all intellectual property rights) in and to the Usage Data...you grant Polymer a perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, royalty-free...license to use...your Suggestions”
Polymer explicitly advertises SOC 2, HIPAA, and GDPR/CCPA compliance in their marketing materials and privacy policy. They reference compliance with Google API Services User Data Policy and state adherence to regulatory requirements.
“SOC 2 Compliance...HIPAA...CCPA/GDPR...Polymer's use and transfer to any other app of information received from Google APIs will adhere to Google API Services User Data Policy”
