§ 1

What we collect

  • Account data: name, email, organisation, role, country of operation.
  • Usage data: which workspaces you open, which briefings you generate. Aggregated and pseudonymised for product improvement.
  • Submitted content: prompts, uploaded budget documents, scenarios. Encrypted at rest.
§ 2

What we do not collect or do

  • We do not train foundation models on your prompts or uploaded documents.
