Privacy policy.

You give Dossier source material so the framework can score and rewrite it. This page is a plain-English account of what we keep, why, and how to make us delete it.

What Dossier collects

  • Account data. Email, name, and avatar from your Google sign-in. Nothing more.
  • Source material. Documents you upload or link from Google Drive: pitch decks, financial models, cap tables, press, anything you point us at.
  • Generated content. The 12-module narrative Dossier produces from your sources — scores, issues, fixes, and the rewritten text.
  • Reader analytics. Anonymous events on hosted dataroom pages: who viewed which section, how long. No IP address, no fingerprinting.
  • Operational logs. Standard server logs (request path, response code, latency) retained 30 days for debugging.

What Dossier does NOT collect

  • No credit card data. Stripe handles payment directly.
  • No browsing history beyond pages on thecloseround.com.
  • No third-party tracking pixels. No advertising IDs.
  • No biometric data, no location data.

What we do with it

  • Source material is fed to a large language model (xAI, OpenAI, or Anthropic — your choice in settings) to produce your dataroom. We do not train any model on your data.
  • The hosted dataroom URL is what you share with investors. It shows the rewritten content only; analyst notes (scores, issues) never reach that page.
  • Email is used for account, invites, and transactional product messages. No marketing list, no newsletter, no resale.

Sharing

Dossier does not sell or rent your data. Subprocessors with access to source material or generated content: Vercel (hosting), Neon (database), Sentry (error tracking, redacted), the LLM provider you selected. Each is bound by their own DPA. No human at Dossier reads your dataroom unless you explicitly invite us into a support thread.

Retention

  • Active datarooms — kept as long as your account is active.
  • Deleted datarooms — soft-deleted immediately (your share link dies the moment you hit delete), purged from the database after 30 days.
  • Deleted account — purged within 30 days of request.
  • Operational logs — 30 days.

Your rights

Export, delete, or amend your data at any time by emailing hello@thecloseround.com from the email on your account. EU and California residents have the full set of GDPR/CCPA rights. We respond within 7 business days.

Children

Dossier is built for founders raising capital. Not directed at, and not used by, anyone under 16.

Changes

We update this page when the product changes. The "last updated" date at the top tracks revisions. Material changes get a one-line notice from your dashboard.
