  • No Data Sale: We do not sell, rent, or trade personal information or user activity logs to third parties under any circumstances.
  • Global Compliance: Built to adhere to EU GDPR, UK GDPR, CCPA/CPRA, and EU AI Act transparency standards.

1. Introduction & Scope

Realyld (“we,” “our,” or “us”) operates an AI-powered company intelligence platform for finance professionals navigating real-world asset (RWA) tokenization, fixed income, and financial innovations. This Privacy Policy governs our processing of personal data across realyld.com, our web applications, API services, and automated AI research agents.

Whether you reside in the European Economic Area (EEA), United Kingdom, United States, Asia-Pacific, or elsewhere, we apply a unified high standard of data protection and privacy rights.

2. Information We Collect

We collect and process three main categories of information:

A. User-Provided Account & Configuration Data

  • Contact & Profile: Full name, professional email address, institution/firm name, job title, and password/auth tokens.
  • Agent Workspaces & Thesis Setup: Monitored company lists, market relationship labels (competitor, partner, target), custom investment thesis statements, and research filters.
  • Payment & Subscription Data: Billing contact information processed securely via PCI-DSS compliant third-party payment gateways (e.g., Stripe). Realyld does not store full credit card numbers.

B. Automatically Collected Technical & Telemetry Data

  • IP address, browser type, operating system, referring domain, timestamps, and feature usage patterns.
  • Essential cookies and local storage items required for session management and user authentication.

C. Publicly Scraped Web & Signal Intelligence Data

Our autonomous agents crawl publicly accessible digital channels—such as news outlets, regulatory registers, press releases, company blogs, job boards, and market data portals—to extract signals regarding tokenization deals, licenses, funding, and key personnel changes.

  • Source-Linked Summaries: Scraped data is converted into transient signals and short intelligence briefs. Realyld maintains direct URL citations for every fact displayed.
  • Public Business Information: Scraped content may occasionally include public business contact or executive details (e.g., appointment announcements). We do not scrape private social profiles, non-public databases, or paywalled consumer data.

3. AI Agents & Third-Party AI Model Processing

Realyld utilizes state-of-the-art Large Language Models (LLMs) and AI agents (such as models provided by Anthropic and OpenAI) to analyze web signals against user-defined theses.

🔒 Strict AI Model Privacy & Non-Training Guarantee

  • No Training on User Data: Inputs submitted to our AI endpoints—including your private thesis notes, company lists, and internal evaluations—are processed via zero-retention or commercial API tiers. They are never used to train, retrain, or improve public foundation models.
  • Transient Processing: Prompt inputs and responses are stored only long enough to generate your workspace intelligence feeds and morning briefs.
  • No Algorithmic Lock-in: Your data remains your exclusive property. We do not aggregate user-specific thesis data into public intelligence benchmarks without explicit consent.

4. Web Scraping, Copyright & Responsible Crawling

We adhere to ethical web scraping practices, digital copyright laws, and automated crawling protocols:

  • Robots.txt & Rate Limiting: Our crawlers respect standard internet protocols including robots.txt and rate limits to minimize server burden on target websites.
  • Fair Use & Transformation: Scraped content is transformed into factual summaries, signal tags, and statistical insights. We do not reproduce or republish full-text copyrighted articles.
  • Direct Attribution: Every extracted signal includes a direct link to the original published source, preserving publisher traffic and attribution.

5. Legal Bases for Data Processing (GDPR & UK GDPR)

If you are located in the EEA or UK, we process your personal data under the following lawful bases under Article 6 of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR):

  • Contract Performance (Art. 6(1)(b)): To deliver platform functionality, maintain user accounts, process subscriptions, and generate requested briefs.
  • Legitimate Interests (Art. 6(1)(f)): To retrieve public financial signals, secure our infrastructure, prevent fraudulent access, and improve product performance, balanced against your individual privacy rights.
  • Legal Obligation (Art. 6(1)(c)): To comply with tax, corporate accounting, and legal reporting obligations.
  • Consent (Art. 6(1)(a)): For optional marketing updates or cookies, which you can withdraw at any time.

6. California Privacy Rights (CCPA / CPRA)

Under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) as amended by the CPRA, California residents have specific rights regarding their personal information:

  • Right to Know & Access: Request details on personal information categories collected, sources, and third parties with whom data is shared.
  • Right to Delete: Request erasure of personal information held by Realyld.
  • No Sale or Sharing: Realyld does not sell personal information or share personal data for cross-context behavioral advertising.
  • Non-Discrimination: We will never discriminate against you for exercising your privacy rights.

7. International Data Transfers & Security

Realyld operates globally. Information collected may be stored and processed in secure data centers in the United States and European Union. When transferring personal data from the EEA or UK internationally, we rely on Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) and robust technical safeguards (TLS 1.3 encryption in transit, AES-256 encryption at rest, and zero-trust access controls).

8. AI Transparency & Informational Disclaimers

In accordance with emerging global AI frameworks (including the EU AI Act):

  • Automated Analysis: Realyld utilizes automated synthesis to rank, summarize, and score signals against your thesis.
  • Human in the Loop: Intelligence briefs and profiles are designed for analytical support only. Realyld does not provide financial, legal, investment, or fiduciary advice. Users retain full responsibility for verifying facts via original cited sources before taking operational or investment actions.

9. Data Retention & Your Rights

We retain account data for as long as your workspace remains active. You can request account deletion or data export at any time by emailing us. Upon confirmation, your workspace settings, thesis configurations, and associated personal records will be permanently erased within 30 days.
