Privacy Policy.

AletheiaAI is operated by Berries Financial Advisory Services, registered in India at Flat 16, Malad Satikar CHS Ltd, Near Police Station, Malad West, Mumbai Suburban, Maharashtra 400064. We are the data fiduciary under the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 (DPDP Act).

This policy explains what data we collect, why we collect it, how we use it, and what your rights are. It applies to all visitors and users of aletheiaai.in and related services.

• Email address and account data: collected when you sign in, join the waitlist, submit a pitch for the Bollywood Roast, or subscribe to our newsletter. This includes sign-in timestamps and any preferences you set.
• Waitlist data: your email address and the referral code used (if any) when you join the launch waitlist at aletheiaai.in/launch.
• Pitch deck and idea submissions: the content of your pitch deck (PDF, Google Drive link, or URL) or the idea text you enter, processed solely to generate your roast and analysis. Deck files are deleted within 24 hours of delivery. Idea text is never stored after processing.
• Analysis output: structured output including scores, verdicts, roast lines, Bollywood character responses, fund matches, and improvement suggestions. Retained for up to 12 months.
• Investor thesis profile: sectors, stages, cheque size, geography, and deal-breaker conditions entered during investor onboarding. Used to score decks against your thesis.

• Payment metadata: Razorpay payment ID, order ID, amount, and status. We never receive or store your card number, CVV, or bank details. Those go directly to Razorpay.
• Usage data: pages visited, features used, and general interaction patterns. Used to improve the product. Not sold or shared with advertisers.

We run advertising campaigns on LinkedIn to reach founders and investors in India. As part of these campaigns:

LinkedIn collects data including IP address, device, and page views for this purpose. This data is governed by LinkedIn’s Privacy Policy.
• We do not share your personal data (email, deck content, or analysis output) with LinkedIn for targeting purposes.
• To opt out of LinkedIn retargeting, visit your LinkedIn ad settings.

• Convex (US/EU): application database and backend infrastructure.
