Read from 13 first-party surface(s) across 1 assessed offering(s), found by the entity's own link graph and sitemap rather than by guessed paths.

What A Machine Could Not Establish1

1 question is open and 7 are established, read as at 2026-08-15 under method v1.6.

The One Thing To Publish First

Publish it: say whether decisions about people are made automatically.

Amber · PartialAutomated Decision-Making

Disclosed, but incompletely.

Where To Put It

This was read on your own page at https://groq.com/privacy-policy/. That is the page a reader already reaches for and does not find it on, so it is the page to correct first.

Where Others Stand

4 organisations in the register say whether decisions about people are made automatically. You publish on it, but not completely.

What A Published Answer Looks Like

Under certain laws, residents may also be permitted to opt out of certain profiling relating to automated processing analyzing certain categories of an individual's information that would produce a legal or similarly significant effect. [the vendor] does not engage in this type of profiling of individuals.

A question answered plainly in public, by an organisation read as Strong on it. It is not an endorsement of the position the sentence states — Black Snow reads what is published and never recommends what to practise. Read on a published trust or security page. Claim tier Quoted. The organisation that published it is not named. A name in the original is replaced; nothing else in the sentence is changed.

One is named here, and one is deliberate. The rest of the open questions are listed below without a prescription; what to publish for each, in what order, and drafted machine-readable evidence for all of them, is the Deep Dive.
