ProjectAdvisoryAI ("Platform", "Service", "we", "our", or "us") respects your privacy and is committed to protecting your personal data. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, store, and protect your information when using ProjectAdvisoryAI. By using the Platform, you agree to this Privacy Policy.

AI Processing
ProjectAdvisoryAI uses artificial intelligence technologies to process user inputs and generate outputs such as project proposal drafts, partner match suggestions, and workflow recommendations.
Uploaded data may be processed temporarily for:
- Document generation and drafting assistance

- Task and workflow recommendations
- Analytics and performance insights
We do not sell user content or personal data to train third-party AI models.
Data Storage & Security
We implement reasonable technical and organizational safeguards to protect your data. Our security measures include:
- Encrypted data transmission (HTTPS/TLS)
- Role-based access controls
- Secure authentication mechanisms
- Regular security reviews
- Data backup and recovery procedures
Third-Party Services
The Platform integrates with trusted third-party providers to deliver core functionality:
Google APIs
Calendar, Drive, and Gmail integrations
Stripe
Secure payment processing
Cloud Infrastructure
Hosting and data storage
Analytics Services
Usage and performance monitoring
These providers may process data according to their own privacy policies. Google user data accessed through Google APIs is used solely to provide user-requested functionality and is never used for advertising purposes.
Data Sharing
We may share limited information only in the following circumstances:
- With service providers necessary to operate the Platform (e.g., hosting, payment processing)
- When required by applicable law, court order, or governmental authority
- To protect the security, integrity, and legal rights of the Platform and its users
Any third-party processors are bound by data processing agreements and may only use data as instructed by us.
International Data Transfers
Your data may be processed or stored in countries outside your jurisdiction, including countries outside the European Economic Area (EEA).
Where applicable, we implement appropriate safeguards including:
- Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) approved by the European Commission
- Adequacy decisions for applicable countries
- Binding corporate rules where applicable
By using the Service, you consent to the transfer of your data to these locations in accordance with this Privacy Policy.
Data Retention
We apply purpose-specific retention periods rather than one retention period to all data. In particular:
- Temporary AI/import artefacts (such as extracted working text, extraction stages and review artefacts) are scheduled for deletion eligibility 30 days after a successful import, unless a legal or programme hold applies.
- An uploaded approved application may be retained as a Project document when it is needed as project, contractual, reporting or audit evidence. It is reviewed after the project end rather than automatically deleted with temporary AI artefacts.
- Canonical Project data is retained while the project-management purpose remains active. At project closure/end, the project owner must review any programme, grant-agreement, contractual or legal retention requirement before deletion is permitted.
- Where a specific law, grant agreement, audit requirement, dispute or legal claim requires longer retention, that requirement takes precedence for the affected records only.
Retention review dates are not automatic deletion dates for project evidence. ProjectAdvisoryAI uses legal/programme holds to prevent deletion where an applicable obligation remains. Upon account deletion, personal data is removed within 30 days except where continued retention is legally required. Anonymized, aggregated data may be retained for analytics where it no longer identifies an individual.
