At QuantPillar Inc. ("QuantPillar," "We," "Us"), trust is the currency of our business. This Privacy Policy details how we collect, use, and strictly protect the information you entrust to our Platform (QuantCore™, QuantVal™, QuantTerminal™).

1. Comprehensive Data Collection

To deliver our advanced valuation and intelligence services, we process several categories of data:

1.1 Proprietary Business Information

Financial Data: Income statements, balance sheets, cash flow projections, and bank connections via QuantTerminal.
Capital Structure: Cap tables, option ledgers, shareholder agreements, and equity grants.
Intellectual Property: Details on patents, trademarks, and R&D for intangible asset valuation.
Strategic Data: Pitch decks, business plans, and growth metrics used for NICI scoring.

1.2 Identity & Account Data

Profile Information: Names, job titles, professional affiliations, and corporate email addresses.
Authentication: Secure login credentials, API keys, and session tokens.

2. Strategic Use of Information

We use your data not just to store it, but to generate value:

Service Execution: Generating defensible valuation reports (QuantVal), computing NICI scores, and visualizing market data (QuantTerminal).
QuantCore™ Intelligence: We use anonymized, aggregated data to train our AI models. This improves the accuracy of our industry benchmarks and the National Innovation Index without ever exposing your specific data.
Compliance & Security: To verify identities, detect fraud, and comply with regulatory requirements (e.g., KYC/AML, Tax Audits).

3. Strict Data Sharing Policies

We DO NOT sell your data. We share data only when necessary to provide the Services:

Approved Sub-Processors: Tier-1 infrastructure providers (e.g., AWS, Stripe) who adhere to strict security standards.
Your Advisors: We share reports with your legal counsel or accountants only upon your explicit instruction.
Legal Compliance: If compelled by a valid court order or government audit (e.g., IRS/CRA inquiry into a valuation).

4. Enterprise-Grade Security

We treat your data with the same rigor as a financial institution:

Encryption: Data is encrypted at rest (AES-256) and in transit (TLS 1.3).
Access Control: Zero-Trust architecture with strict Role-Based Access Control (RBAC). Only authorized personnel with a business need can access sensitive data.
Resilience: Regular backups and disaster recovery protocols to ensure business continuity.

5. Your Data Rights

You maintain control over your Personal Data. Depending on your region (GDPR, CCPA, PIPEDA), you have rights to access, correct, or delete your personal information. Note that financial records used for valuation reports may need to be retained for legal/tax periods (typically 7 years).
