What happens to the information you share with this website.

1. Who we are

datatruffle.ai is operated by Data Truffle, Inc. ("Data Truffle", "we", "us"). We are a seller-side agent that helps established companies license their operational records to AI training buyers. For privacy questions or requests, email hello@datatruffle.ai.

This policy applies to website visitors, people who submit a form, book a call, or email us, and representatives of companies and buyers we work with. If you use the site on behalf of a company, it applies to the information you share about that company as well.

2. What we collect, and where it comes from

Information you give us

• Contact details. Name, email address, phone number if you choose to give one, job title, and company.
• Qualification answers. The seven-question qualifier and the contact form ask about your company: industry, approximate headcount, years in business, the systems your records live in, the kinds of records you hold, region, and timing. These describe your records; they are not your records.
• Offer details. If you ask us to benchmark an offer you already have, the terms you choose to share.
• Buyer demand. If you register as a buyer, your entity, role, the data you are looking for, and your acceptance of our vetting standard.
• Messages and call notes. What you write to us and what we discuss on a call. We may take notes during calls. We do not record calls without telling you first and asking.

Information collected automatically

• Analytics. We use a privacy-focused analytics service that counts page views and referrers without cookies and without building a profile of you. It does not identify you personally.
• Attribution. When you arrive from an advertisement or a link, the campaign parameters in the address (for example a campaign name or click identifier) are kept for the session and attached to a form you submit, so we know which advertising worked. They are not used to track you across other sites.
• Technical logs. Our hosting provider records IP addresses and request details in standard server logs for security and reliability.

What we deliberately do not collect

The estimator runs entirely in your browser; nothing you move a slider to is saved or sent anywhere unless you then submit a form. We do not ask for, and ask you not to send, business records, exports, files, logins, or personal information about your customers or employees. If you send them anyway, we will delete them and tell you.

3. How we use it

• To respond to you and to schedule and hold calls.
• To assess whether a company may qualify for a data license and to build a manifest with you.
• To present an anonymized profile of a company to vetted buyers, and, only with that company's approval, its identity.
• To benchmark an offer you already have, if you ask us to.
• To run the competitive process and negotiate on a seller's behalf under a signed engagement letter.
• To measure whether our advertising brings the right visitors, using the attribution described above.
• To keep records of what was agreed, meet legal and tax obligations, and prevent abuse of the site.

We do not sell personal information. We do not send marketing sequences to people who asked a question; we answer the question.

4. Who we share it with

• Vetted buyers. A company's anonymized profile may be shared with buyers whose demand fits. A company's identity and its representatives' contact details are shared only when that company approves, and under confidentiality terms. Buyers are independent businesses and handle what they receive under their own agreements and policies.
• Service providers. Hosting and form handling, our customer relationship system, email delivery, scheduling, analytics, and team messaging. Each may use the information only to provide its service to us.
• Legal reasons. When required by law, a court order, or a government request, or to protect our rights or someone's safety.
• A business transfer. If Data Truffle is involved in a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, information may transfer as part of it, subject to this policy.

We never share, hold, or transmit a seller's underlying business records. Any transfer of licensed records happens directly between the seller and the buyer under their signed license.

5. The success-fee engagement

If a company signs our engagement letter, the information we hold about that company and its records is also governed by that letter, including its confidentiality terms. If this policy and a signed engagement letter conflict, the engagement letter controls for that company. Our fee schedule is published on the pricing page.

6. How long we keep it

We keep contact details and qualification answers for as long as a conversation is live and for a reasonable period afterward, so a company that comes back a year later does not have to start from nothing. We keep records of signed agreements, fees, and consents for as long as tax, accounting, and legal obligations require. You can ask us to delete your details at any time; we will do so unless a legal obligation or a signed agreement requires us to keep them.

7. Security

We use reasonable administrative and technical safeguards, including encryption in transit and access limited to people who need it. No system is perfectly secure and we cannot guarantee security. The most effective safeguard on this site is structural: we never hold your business records, so they cannot be exposed by us.

8. Your choices and rights

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access the personal information we hold about you, correct it, delete it, receive a copy of it, object to or restrict certain uses, and withdraw consent. To make a request, email hello@datatruffle.ai. We will verify that the request comes from you and respond within the time the law requires. We will not treat you differently for making a request.

• United States residents. We do not sell personal information and we do not share it for cross-context behavioral advertising. If you live in a state with a comprehensive privacy law, the rights above apply, and you may appeal a decision by replying to it.
• EEA and UK residents. Where the GDPR applies, we process your information to take steps at your request before a contract and to perform one, for our legitimate interests in running and improving the service and preventing abuse, to comply with legal obligations, and with your consent where we ask for it. You may complain to your local data protection authority.
• Canadian residents. We handle personal information in line with PIPEDA and applicable provincial law, with your consent except where the law allows otherwise.

9. International transfers

We and our service providers may store and process information in the United States and other countries whose privacy laws differ from yours. Where the law requires it, we use appropriate safeguards such as contractual protections.

10. Children

This site is for businesses and adults. It is not directed to anyone under 18 and we do not knowingly collect information from children. If you believe a child has given us information, email us and we will delete it.

11. Not legal advice, no guarantee

Nothing on this site is legal, tax, financial, or compliance advice, and nothing on it guarantees that a company will receive an offer, a price, or a payment. Indicative ranges are illustrative. A first offer within 24 to 48 hours is a process target, not a promise; buyers decide eligibility, price, and terms. Have your own counsel review any agreement before data moves.

12. Changes

We will post any update to this policy on this page with a new "last updated" date. If a change is material, we will also say so on the site or by email to people it affects.
