1Introduction & Scope
Welcome to Augur (accessible at augur.bot, and hereafter referred to as "Augur", "Platform", "We", "Us", or "Our"). We are committed to safeguarding your privacy and ensuring the security of all data handled across our platform.
This Privacy Policy details how we handle, collect, compile, process, and protect your information when you register an account, access our brand intelligence and monitoring dashboards, or utilize our predictive sentiment analytics services.
By accessing our platform or utilizing our services, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and consented to the data practices described in this Privacy Policy.
2Information We Collect
To deliver enterprise-grade brand intelligence, stance prediction, and real-time sentiment analysis, we collect two categories of information: Account Information and Monitoring Information.
A. Account & Profile Information
When you register on Augur, request demos, or subscribe to packages, we collect:
- Identity Data: Full name, company affiliation, corporate role, and credentials.
- Contact Info: Business email address and correspondence phone numbers.
- Billing Information: Billing address, company taxation identifiers, and details processed via our secure payment partners (we do not store credit card credentials directly on our databases).
B. Brand Monitoring & Public Social Data
Our platform aggregates public digital content to generate intelligence. This includes:
- Public Posts & Metadata: Mentions, posts, hashtags, and social interactions related to specified brand tracking profiles (retrieved via official public APIs of platforms like Twitter/X, Facebook, and Instagram).
- Stance & Sentiment Markers: Public content analyzed solely for statistical tracking, stance scoring, and opinion-risk categorization.
3How We Use Information
Augur utilizes data strictly to operate our platform, generate brand performance indexes, and support business operations. The primary operations include:
Platform Operation
Provision of brand tracking dashboards, real-time sentiment charts, and stance predictions for your registered workspace.
Model Refinement
Training and refining our natural language sentiment classifiers to detect nuances, languages, and brand stance shifts accurately.
Actionable Notifications
Generating real-time threshold alerts (via email/webhooks) when sudden sentiment swings or brand risks are predicted.
Security & Audits
Ensuring platform safety, verifying API limits, identifying fraudulent logins, and maintaining platform uptime performance.
4Data Sharing & AI Processing
We value your data privacy and will never sell, lease, or distribute your private database configurations, brand tracking keywords, or user accounts to advertisers or brokers.
Data may be shared in limited circumstances to fulfill operations:
- AI Infrastructure & Large Language Models: To offer state-of-the-art stance and predictive sentiment calculations, text snippets may be processed via secured, enterprise-grade AI APIs (such as Google Gemini). These inputs are processed over encrypted channels and are not used by third-party AI systems to train public foundation models.
- Cloud Infrastructure Providers: Host platforms, serverless database operators (like Neon DB), and analytics providers who support our core servers under rigorous non-disclosure agreements.
- Compliance with Legal Authorities: If required by valid court warrants, subpoena requests, or national security regulations, we may share information to comply with law enforcement requirements.
5Data Protection & Security
Augur maintains industry-leading technical and organizational security configurations to prevent accidental loss, unauthorized access, alteration, or disclosure of platform databases:
Standard Encryption Shield
All platform communications and requests are encrypted in transit via SSL/TLS 1.3 standards. Serverless databases (Neon DB) are protected using advanced AES-256 standard encryption keys at rest.
While we deploy strict firewall protocols and conduct routine security audits, no digital transmission can be guaranteed as 100% secure. If you suspect any platform access credentials have been compromised, please report this to our trust team immediately.
6GDPR & CCPA Compliance
We respect global privacy standards, ensuring data rights are granted to users globally. Under guidelines such as the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), you are entitled to:
| Rights Granted | Operational Action |
|---|---|
| Right of Access / Portability | Request a CSV format extract of all brand data, sentiment tracking, or account files. |
| Right to Erasure / Deletion | Purge your account information, registered brand workspaces, and competitor list profiles from our active database. |
| Right to Rectify Errors | Correct erroneous company detail listings, contact points, or billing identifiers via account configurations. |

To exercise any of these compliance rights, submit a formal request via email to our legal desk at support@augur.bot. We respond to all verified global rights claims within 30 days.
7Updates to this Policy
We may refine and update this Privacy Policy from time to time to adapt to changes in global data compliance regulations, platform upgrades, or public social API changes.
When modifications are made, we will adjust the "Last Updated" timestamp at the top of this document. For significant alterations that impact your core rights, we will provide conspicuous notifications (such as an overlay banner or direct email notices to registered administrators).
