Privacy Policy

An independent developer based in Canada operates Decision Strategy.

Our responsibility

We are responsible for the personal information handled through Decision Strategy and for responding to questions about these practices. Use the privacy contact section to reach us.

Services covered

This policy covers the Decision Strategy platform, including accounts, Quick, Guided and Strategic decision analysis, voice input, PDF exports, community predictions and support.

Personal information

Information that identifies you or could reasonably be linked to you, including information about other people that you include in a decision or support message.

Other services

External websites and services you visit have their own privacy practices. Their notices do not replace our responsibility for the information we collect through this platform.

We collect information from you, your sign-in provider and your device.

Account & access

Your email address, name if provided, sign-in credentials or provider identity, account identifiers and timestamps, feature access and usage limits. If you choose Google sign-in, we receive the account information Google makes available for authentication, such as your name and email.

Decision content

The decision description, questionnaire answers, options, goals, constraints and other context you submit, together with the analysis and recommendations generated in response. These may contain personal information you choose to include.

Optional voice input

The audio you choose to record and submit for transcription, and the resulting text. Recordings can include background speech or information about other people.

Community predictions

Your selected outcomes, vote times, account-linked voting history and participation records, including accuracy, points, tokens, levels, streaks, badges and ranking history.

Reward & usage records

Your account-linked token balances, token exchanges, separate usage balances for Quick, Guided and Strategic reports, decision-generation activity and changes to feature access or usage limits. We use these records to apply rewards, process exchanges and check whether you can use a requested feature.

Support correspondence

The name and email you provide, your subject and message, replies, message status and relevant timestamps, including when a reply is viewed.

Technical information

Our infrastructure and service providers may process IP addresses, browser and device information, language preferences, request times, authentication events and error logs to deliver and secure the service.

We use information to provide requested features and support.

Provide the platform

Create and authenticate accounts, maintain sign-in sessions, manage feature access and usage limits, generate and check decision analyses, transcribe requested audio and prepare PDF downloads.

Run community features

Record votes, prevent duplicate voting, calculate community totals and participation scores, and show you your own voting activity.

Respond to requests

Respond to support and privacy requests, and send necessary account or service communications.

Maintain reliability & meet obligations

Diagnose errors, protect accounts, investigate misuse, resolve disputes and comply with applicable legal requirements. We do not sell or rent personal information or share it for cross-site targeted advertising.

Decisions go to AI providers; voice transcription is optional.

Decision analysis & review

OpenAI and/or DeepSeek receive the decision content needed to generate your report. A draft report and relevant inputs may also be sent for a separate quality check or correction. More than one provider may therefore process the same submission.

Voice transcription

When you choose microphone input and submit a recording, the audio is sent to OpenAI for conversion to text. You can type instead. Text that you later submit for decision analysis is processed in the same way as other questionnaire content.

PDF exports

When you request an export, your report is processed to create the PDF. Downloaded files stay on your device or wherever you save or share them; deleting your account does not remove those copies.

Provider retention & model improvement

OpenAI’s data controls describe no model training on API data by default unless the customer opts in, with retention depending on the service and settings. DeepSeek processing is subject to its Open Platform terms. We do not offer a guarantee of zero provider retention or identical model-improvement restrictions across providers.

Automated assistance

Reports, recommendations and confidence scores are generated from the information you submit and can be inaccurate. They help you consider a decision; you remain responsible for deciding what to do. Participation scores and usage limits are also calculated automatically as part of the platform.

Choose what you share. Remove names and identifying details when they are unnecessary. Do not submit passwords, government identifiers, confidential records or another person’s sensitive information. Only share other people’s information when you have authority to do so.

Providers receive information needed for the features you use.

Supabase · accounts & data

Handles authentication, sessions and stored account, feature access, support and prediction records. Supabase privacy notice.

OpenAI · AI & transcription

Receives relevant decision inputs and reports for generation or review, and audio when you request transcription. OpenAI privacy notice and API data controls.

DeepSeek · AI analysis

Receives relevant decision inputs and reports for generation or review. Its consumer privacy notice does not itself govern end-user data in third-party applications; this policy explains our use of its service. DeepSeek Open Platform terms.

Google · optional sign-in

If you choose Google sign-in, Google authenticates your account and provides the profile information used to sign you in. Google privacy notice.

Infrastructure & technical services

Hosting, network and delivery services process requests and associated technical information to make the platform available. Access to personal information is limited to what is needed for their services.

Other disclosures. We may disclose information when required by applicable law or valid legal process, or when legally permitted and necessary to address fraud, protect rights or respond to a safety or security incident. Information may also be shared at your direction, such as when you choose to send someone a downloaded report.

Your decisions and reports are not published publicly.

Community activity

Published prediction questions, outcomes, aggregate vote counts, percentages and community timelines are visible to others. Your votes remain linked to your account for scoring and integrity; the public view does not publish an identified personal voting history.

Account & support

Account details and support correspondence are used to operate the service and respond to you. They are not public community content.

Your own sharing

You control whether to share a report, screenshot or download. Anyone receiving a copy may retain or redistribute it outside the platform’s controls.

External content & links

News links, images and other external resources may connect your browser to another service, which can receive technical information such as your IP address. Visiting a linked site is subject to that site’s privacy practices.

Cookies support sign-in and preferences; microphone access is optional.

Sign-in cookies

Authentication cookies maintain your session and allow protected features to recognize your account. Blocking or deleting them can sign you out or prevent account features from working.

Preferences

Cookies or browser storage may remember choices such as language and interface preferences. You can remove stored information through your browser settings; doing so may reset those choices.

Advertising & analytics

The current platform does not use advertising pixels or cross-site marketing analytics. Sign-in providers may use their own technologies when you interact with their services.

Microphone controls

You can decline or revoke microphone permission in browser or device settings and enter text instead. Revoking permission stops future microphone access; it does not recall audio you already submitted.

Retention varies; provider records and downloaded reports may remain.

Account & access

Kept while your account exists to provide feature access and maintain usage limits. Account deletion removes the associated active account and profile, subject to the exceptions below.

Decisions, reports & audio

The platform processes these for the requested analysis, transcription or export and does not maintain a long-term account report library or audio archive. This does not mean that provider logs, temporary processing data or downloaded copies are immediately erased.

Support · viewed reply

A message becomes eligible for removal 24 hours after you view its reply.

Support · unread or unanswered

If a reply is not viewed, a message becomes eligible for removal after one calendar month from the reply. If there is no reply, the period runs from the original submission. Removal occurs during routine cleanup rather than at a guaranteed exact instant.

Votes & participation

Kept as needed to operate predictions, apply scoring, maintain participation records and prevent duplicate votes. Account-linked records are removed with account deletion; prediction cleanup can also remove related records earlier.

Technical records & exceptions

Technical logs and any recovery copies follow the relevant infrastructure or provider retention settings. Limited information may need to be retained for legal obligations, an unresolved dispute or a security investigation. We do not promise a single retention period for all providers or data categories.

Support after account deletion. Existing correspondence can remain until the support retention period expires, even after it is disconnected from your account. Identifying details you typed into the message can still be present during that time.

Sign-in and access controls help protect accounts; no service is fully secure.

Access & handling

Account features require authentication, and access to stored personal information is restricted according to the service being provided. Information may be accessed when necessary to provide support, investigate problems or fulfill a legal obligation.

Your part

Use a unique password or secure sign-in account, protect your device and sign out on shared devices. Avoid including unnecessary sensitive information in submissions and support messages.

Security concerns

Report suspected unauthorized access or disclosure through Contact Support. We will assess reports and notify affected people and relevant authorities when required by applicable law.

We use consent where required and other lawful grounds where permitted.

Required information

An account is required to generate decision analyses. Sign-in and account access information is necessary for features that require an account. If you do not provide it, those features may be unavailable.

Optional information

You choose the personal details to include in a decision or support request, whether to use voice transcription and whether to use Google sign-in. Use general descriptions or remove identifying details when possible.

Withdrawing consent

You can stop optional features, revoke device permissions or ask us to stop processing that depends on your consent, subject to legal or contractual restrictions. We will explain any resulting limits on the service. Withdrawal does not undo processing that has already occurred lawfully.

New purposes

This notice is not blanket consent for unrelated uses of your information. If a new purpose requires consent or additional notice, we will seek that consent or provide that notice as required.

Ask about your information; available rights depend on applicable law.

Access & correction

Request access to the personal information we hold about you, ask how it has been used or disclosed, and ask us to correct inaccurate or incomplete information. Tell us if a generated report contains incorrect personal information.

Deletion & other requests

Ask for deletion, withdraw consent or raise an objection. Where applicable law provides them, you may also request a portable copy or restriction of processing. Some information may need to be kept for a lawful reason, which we will explain.

Delete your account

Use Delete account while signed in. This removes the account, profile and associated account-linked prediction records. The retention exceptions above still apply, and copies saved or shared outside the platform remain outside our control.

How we handle a request

We may need proportionate information to verify your identity and locate the relevant records. We respond within the time required by applicable law and explain any permitted extension or refusal. Do not send passwords or identity documents unless a suitable verification method has been agreed.

Questions & complaints

Contact us first if you have a concern. You may also contact the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada, the relevant provincial privacy authority or another regulator with jurisdiction. We do not penalize you for exercising an applicable privacy right.

We do not seek children’s information or target young children.

Avoid submitting children’s data

Do not include a child’s identifying or sensitive information in decision inputs, recordings or support messages. A general description will often be sufficient.

Parent or guardian concerns

If you believe a child has provided personal information without appropriate permission, contact us through the privacy contact channel so we can review the situation and take appropriate steps, including deletion where required.

Policy updates reflect service and legal changes.

How updates are shown

The date at the top of this page identifies the current version. Material changes will be brought to your attention through the platform or another appropriate channel when required.

When consent is needed

We will obtain additional consent when applicable law requires it. Simply continuing to use the platform does not replace consent that the law requires us to obtain.

The platform’s developer handles privacy requests.

Email contact

Email info@decistrategy.com for privacy questions, access or correction requests, account deletion help, and other support. You can contact us by email without signing in.

In-app support

You can also use Contact Support from the platform while signed in, or open your account menu and select Contact Support.

What to include

Use a subject such as “Privacy request.” Describe your request and the account or feature involved. Include only the information needed to identify the relevant records.

After account deletion

You can still contact us by email after deleting your account. In-app support correspondence is no longer accessible through the deleted account, so save any replies you need beforehand.
