Privacy Policy

Last Updated: February 22, 2026 • Compliance: GDPR (EU) 2016/679

1. Background and Scope

SilentCritique ("we", "us", or "our") is committed to protecting the privacy and security of your personal data. This Privacy Policy describes how we collect and use personal data about you during and after your relationship with us, in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

SilentCritique is a "data controller". This means that we are responsible for deciding how we hold and use personal data about you.

2. Data We Collect

In connection with your use of our decision intelligence platform, we may collect, store, and use the following categories of personal data:

  • Identity Data: Full name, display name, and unique participant tokens.
  • Contact Data: Primary email address and optional backup recovery email addresses.
  • Transaction Data: Details about payments through Stripe (processed by Stripe; we do not store full credit card numbers).
  • Session Data: Critique notes, strategic briefs, and metadata associated with your participation in sessions (often anonymized).
  • Technical Data: IP address, login data, browser type and version, and operating system.

Direct Governance: We do not Sell, Rent, or Lease your personal data to third parties. All data collected is used strictly for provide the service, performance analytics, and strategic intelligence generation for your account only.

3. Legal Basis for Processing

We will only use your personal data when the law allows us to. Most commonly, we will use your personal data in the following circumstances:

  • Contractual Necessity: Where we need to perform the contract we have entered into with you (e.g., providing the SilentCritique service).
  • Legal Obligation: Where we need to comply with a legal or regulatory obligation.
  • Legitimate Interests: Where it is necessary for our legitimate interests (or those of a third party) and your interests and fundamental rights do not override those interests.
  • Consent: Where you have given us clear consent to process your personal data for a specific purpose.

4. Your Rights Under GDPR

Under certain circumstances, by law you have the right to:

  • Request access to your personal data.
  • Request correction of the personal data that we hold about you.
  • Request erasure of your personal data ("right to be forgotten").
  • Object to processing of your personal data.
  • Request the restriction of processing of your personal data.
  • Request the transfer of your personal data to another party (data portability).
  • Withdraw consent at any time where we are relying on consent to process your data.

Execution Tools: We have implemented dedicated internal GDPR Data Controllers to ensure your requests for access or erasure are handled with technical precision and zero residue.

5. Data Security

We have put in place appropriate security measures to prevent your personal data from being accidentally lost, used or accessed in an unauthorized way, altered or disclosed. In addition, we limit access to your personal data to those employees, agents, contractors and other third parties who have a business need to know. They will only process your personal data on our instructions and they are subject to a duty of confidentiality.

We utilize end-to-end encryption for session data and maintain a strict "Verified Anonymity" protocol where your identity is confirmed for access but decoupled from individual critique contributions.

9. High-Integrity Deletion (Recursive Purge)

We believe that when you delete data, it should stay deleted. SilentCritique utilizes a high-integrity recursive deletion protocol. When a facilitator deletes a session:

  • Recursive Purge: All associated critique notes, participant tokens, and strategic briefs are permanently erased from our primary databases.
  • Shadow Removal: Any technical shadows or mirrored findings in our Intelligence Store are purged.
  • Irreversibility: Once a deletion is confirmed via the dashboard, the data is unrecoverable, ensuring maximum privacy and data hygiene.
