Privacy Policy

When you create an account or use the Platform, we collect:

• Display Name: A single display name field used to identify you within the Platform. Your first initial is used for your account avatar.
• Email Address: Used for account authentication, email verification, and Platform communications.
• Password: Stored in hashed, encrypted form. We never store plaintext passwords.
• Authentication Data: If you use Google OAuth or another third-party provider, we receive basic profile information (name, email) from that provider.
• Session Questions and Interjections: The research questions you submit and any context or interjection text you provide during sessions.
• Payment Information: Credit card or payment data processed by our third-party payment processor. Augle does not store full card numbers, CVVs, or bank account details.

We automatically collect certain technical information when you use the Platform:

• Log Data: IP address, browser type and version, operating system, referring URLs, pages visited, and timestamps.
• Device Information: Device type, screen resolution, and general hardware identifiers.
• Session Metadata: Session depth, credits consumed, session status, phase outcomes, flag classifications, and confidence grades.
• Usage Analytics: Feature interactions, navigation paths, and engagement patterns used to improve the Platform.
• Cookies and Similar Technologies: See Section 6 for details.
• Device Fingerprint: For users accessing the Platform without an account (guest sessions), we collect a hashed device fingerprint derived from browser type, operating system, screen resolution, and graphics renderer. This fingerprint is used solely to enforce one free session per device per 24-hour period and to prevent abuse of the free session entitlement. Device fingerprint data is not linked to your personal identity, is not sold or shared with third parties, and is not used for advertising purposes.

Augle's deliberation engine produces structured research outputs including evidence nodes, agent verdicts, confidence grades, flag classifications, and Synthesizer conclusions. This structured data is associated with your account and session history.

For sessions conducted against prediction market contracts that subsequently resolve, we store the Augle deliberation verdict alongside the actual contract outcome. This calibration record — matched verdict against ground truth — is one of Augle's core data assets. It is used to measure and improve the accuracy of the deliberation engine, to publish accuracy benchmarks, and may be commercially licensed to third parties as part of Augle's structured reasoning corpus. Calibration records are de-identified before any commercial use or external disclosure. By submitting a prediction market question and running a session, you consent to this data being collected, stored, and used as described.

• Creating and managing your account;
• Processing session requests and delivering research outputs;
• Managing your credit balance and processing transactions;
• Storing your session history for retrieval and re-export;
• Delivering email verification and account security communications.

Augle's long-term value as a company is grounded in the structured research and reasoning dataset produced as a byproduct of Platform operation. By using the Platform, you acknowledge and consent to the following uses of session data (excluding personally identifying information):

• Training, fine-tuning, and evaluating AI models — by Augle or by third parties who license the dataset from Augle;
• Building and maintaining a structured multi-agent reasoning corpus for internal research and external licensing;
• Commercially licensing the reasoning corpus or calibration dataset, in whole or in part, to AI laboratories, enterprise clients, academic institutions, government agencies, or other third parties;
• Publishing accuracy benchmarks, calibration analyses, and platform performance metrics derived from session data in aggregated or anonymized form;
• Using session data as training input for proprietary or licensed AI reasoning models.

Session data used for these purposes is stripped of direct personal identifiers (name, email, account ID) before use or disclosure.

• Sending transactional emails (account verification, credit receipts, session confirmations);
• Sending product updates, feature announcements, and policy change notifications;
• Responding to support inquiries and feedback submissions.

You may opt out of non-transactional communications at any time using the unsubscribe link in any email or by contacting privacy@augle.com.

• Complying with applicable laws and legal processes;
• Investigating and preventing fraud, abuse, and violations of our Terms;
• Protecting the rights, safety, and property of Augle, our users, and the public.

We share information with trusted third-party service providers who assist in operating the Platform, including cloud infrastructure providers, payment processors, email delivery services, and analytics providers. These providers are contractually bound to use your data only as directed by Augle.

We may disclose your information if required to do so by law, court order, or governmental authority, or if we believe in good faith that such disclosure is necessary to protect our rights, your safety, or the safety of others.

In the event of a merger, acquisition, financing, or sale of all or substantially all of Augle's assets, your information may be transferred as part of that transaction. We will provide notice of any such transfer and the applicable privacy practices.

Augle may license, sell, or otherwise transfer structured session data — including agent deliberations, evidence node classifications, confidence grades, Guardian flag records, Contrarian objections, Synthesizer verdicts, and calibration outcomes — to third parties for research, commercial, and AI development purposes. Before any such transfer, session data is de-identified by removing or hashing direct personal identifiers. Third-party licensees of de-identified session data are contractually prohibited from attempting to re-identify individual users.

We may share your information with third parties when you have given us explicit consent to do so.

You may request a copy of the personal information we hold about you. We will provide this in a machine-readable format where technically feasible.

You may update your display name directly in your account settings. For other corrections, contact privacy@augle.com.

You may request deletion of your account and associated personal data via the account settings Danger Zone. See Section 4 for retention exceptions.

You may opt out of marketing emails at any time. You cannot opt out of transactional and security-related communications.

California residents have additional rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act, including the right to know, delete, correct, and opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information. Augle does not sell or share personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising. To exercise your rights, contact privacy@augle.com.

If you are located in the European Economic Area or United Kingdom, our legal basis for processing your personal information includes: (a) performance of our contract with you; (b) our legitimate interests in operating and improving the Platform; and (c) your consent where applicable. You may lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority.
