Privacy Policy

Introduction

MGL Athena Intelligence ("Athena," "we," "our," or "us") is committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring the security of your personal information. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you use our Athena Data Platform and related services (collectively, the "Services").

Please read this Privacy Policy carefully. By accessing or using the Services, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree with our policies and practices, please do not use our Services.

How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect for the following purposes:

• Provide and Maintain the Services: To operate our platform, deliver personalized content, and improve your experience.
• Personalization: To customize the news, stock information, and recommendations you and other users see based on your preferences and interactions.
• Communication: To respond to your inquiries, provide support, send administrative messages, and share updates about our Services.
• Research and Development: To analyze usage patterns, troubleshoot technical issues, and enhance our Services.
• Security and Fraud Prevention: To protect our Services, verify accounts, and prevent unauthorized access or fraudulent activity.
• Legal Compliance: To comply with applicable laws, regulations, legal processes, or enforceable governmental requests.

AI and Large Language Model Processing

Athena's analysis features are powered by third-party artificial-intelligence providers. When you run an analysis, we transmit the following to the AI provider in order to generate the result:

• The content of the news stories in your feed that match your selected filters
• Your saved analysis prompts (presets)
• Any ad-hoc questions or instructions you type, exactly as written
• The filters applied to the analysis (topics, companies, sources, and date ranges)

By default, analyses are processed by Google Cloud Vertex AI (Gemini models). When a non-Google model is configured or selected for an analysis, the request is routed through OpenRouter, Inc. to the relevant model provider.

Requests to these providers are authenticated using Athena's own service credentials; we do not send your name, email address, or account identifiers to AI providers. However, the text of prompts and questions is transmitted as written, so we recommend that you do not include personal information in analysis prompts. Content sent to these providers is handled in accordance with each provider's terms and data policies and is used solely to generate the analysis you requested.

Connecting Athena to Anthropic's Claude

You may optionally connect your Athena account to Anthropic's Claude assistant using our connector. When connected, the content you access through Claude — including your monitored topics, news stories, prompt presets, and generated analyses — is transmitted to Anthropic and handled subject to Anthropic's own terms of service and privacy policy.

If you grant the story-voting permission on the consent screen, Claude can also record story votes (upvotes and downvotes) on your behalf. These votes are written to your Athena account exactly as if you had voted in the app: they are attributed to your user, count toward your organization's story feedback, and can be changed or removed at any time from your newsfeed. Claude records votes only during sessions you initiate.

The connection is authorized through OAuth with your explicit consent and is scoped to your organization: Claude can only access data visible to your Athena account, and there is no cross-organization data access. Access tokens expire after one hour and refresh tokens are rotated on each use. You can revoke the connection at any time by removing the connector in Claude's settings or from the Connected Applications section of your Athena settings page. After revocation, any unexpired access token remains valid for at most one hour.

For security, support, and abuse prevention, each tool invocation made through the connector is recorded in an internal audit log. Each record contains the tool name, the invocation status and error code (if any), the duration, a redacted summary of the request parameters (indicators of which filters were used, the selected preset, model override, and pagination values — not the text of your queries or filter values), your user and organization identifiers, the connector client identifier, and a timestamp.

How We Share Your Information

We may share your information in the following circumstances:

• With Your Consent: When you explicitly authorize us to share your information.
• Service Providers: With trusted third parties who assist us in operating our Services (data storage providers, email service providers, analytics services, and artificial-intelligence providers such as Google Cloud Vertex AI and OpenRouter — and Anthropic, if you connect Claude).
• Business Transfers: In connection with a merger, acquisition, reorganization, or sale of all or a portion of our business or assets.
• Legal Requirements: When required by law, subpoena, or other legal process, or to protect our rights, privacy, safety, or property, or that of our users or others.

We do not sell your personal information to third parties.

Sharing Reports with Colleagues and Clients

When you use our report sharing feature, we will share the content you select with the recipients you specify. These reports may contain:

• News articles you've selected
• Your comments and analysis
• Topics and trends you've identified

Recipients will receive these reports via email with a link to view the content on our platform. The link will not require authentication to view, so please consider the sensitivity of information you include in shared reports.

Data Retention

We retain your personal information for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this Privacy Policy, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law. We will securely delete or anonymize your personal information when it is no longer needed for these purposes.

Audit logs of tool invocations made through the Claude connector are retained for 12 months from the date of the invocation, after which they are deleted.

Your Privacy Rights and Choices

Depending on your location, you may have certain rights regarding your personal information, including:

• Access: Request information about the personal data we hold about you.
• Correction: Request that we correct inaccurate or incomplete information.
• Deletion: Request that we delete your personal information.
• Restriction: Request that we limit how we use your personal information.
• Portability: Request a copy of your personal information in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format.
• Objection: Object to our processing of your personal information.

To exercise these rights, please contact us at contact@athenainformation.ai.

Email Communications

You may opt-out of receiving promotional emails from us by following the unsubscribe instructions included in each email. Even if you opt-out, we may still send you non-promotional communications, such as those about your account or our ongoing business relations.

Cookies and Tracking Technologies

We use cookies and similar tracking technologies to track activity on our Services and hold certain information. You can instruct your browser to refuse all cookies or to indicate when a cookie is being sent. However, if you do not accept cookies, you may not be able to use some portions of our Services.

Security

We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect the security of your personal information. However, please understand that no method of transmission over the Internet or method of electronic storage is 100% secure. While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.

International Data Transfers

We may transfer, store, and process your information in countries other than your own. Our servers are located in the European Union. If you are accessing our Services from outside this region, be aware that your information may be transferred to, stored, and processed by us and our affiliates and service providers in countries where data protection laws may differ from those in your country.

Children's Privacy

Our Services are not intended for individuals under the age of 18. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has provided us with personal information, please contact us immediately.

Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page and updating the "Last Updated" date. You are advised to review this Privacy Policy periodically for any changes. Changes to this Privacy Policy are effective when they are posted on this page.
