Data Practices & Privacy at decisio
Data We Collect
- Basic account information: When users create an account, we only collect an email address and, optionally, a first and last name.
- Voluntary demographic data: Users may choose to share demographic details (such as age range or region) to help improve the accuracy and fairness of our recommendation models. This information is always optional.
How We Use This Data
- Account creation and login: Email and name are used solely to create accounts, personalize the experience, and support login or password recovery.
- Improving recommendations: Voluntary demographic data helps us refine our swipe‑based discovery model so it better reflects diverse tastes and avoids bias.
- Aggregated insights only: Any data used for analytics or future commercial insights is aggregated at the demographic level and never tied to an individual.
How We Store Data
- Secure cloud infrastructure: All user data is stored on Google Cloud Platform, using industry‑standard security practices for encryption, access control, and monitoring.
- Minimal retention: We only store the information necessary to operate the app and improve recommendations.
What We Never Do
- We do not sell personal data: Email addresses, names, and any identifying information are never sold or shared with third parties.
- We do not track users across apps or websites: decisio does not participate in cross‑app tracking or behavioral advertising.
- We do not store sensitive personal information: We avoid collecting anything beyond the minimum needed for account creation and optional model improvement.
Future Data Products
- Swipe‑based entertainment insights: Any future data products will be based solely on aggregated swipe patterns (e.g., “users aged 25–34 tend to like X genre”).
- PII‑safe by design: All insights are generated at the demographic level and engineered to ensure they can never be linked back to an individual user.
Our Commitment
- Transparency: We clearly explain what we collect and why.
- User control: Users can choose whether to share demographic data, and can update or delete their information at any time.
- Privacy-first innovation: decisio’s mission is to help people discover entertainment—not to exploit personal data.
Account Deletion: If you wish to delete your account and associated data, you may do so in the app under setting or contact us at chris@decisio.media.
