Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

Optimize the World (OW) is committed to protecting the privacy and security of personal data. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard information when you use our decision intelligence platform and services.

OW operates as a decision partnership platform, not a traditional software-as-a-service provider. Our data handling practices reflect our commitment to transparency, accountability, and institutional trust.

2. Data We Collect

3. How We Use Data

OW uses collected data exclusively for:

Service Delivery: Providing and maintaining our decision intelligence platform

Partnership Management: Communicating with partners about engagement progress, outcomes, and institutional learning

Platform Improvement: Analyzing usage patterns to enhance decision models and system performance

Compliance: Meeting legal obligations and audit requirements

We do not sell, rent, or monetize operational data. Data is used solely for the purpose of delivering decision partnership services.

4. Data Sharing and Disclosure

OW maintains strict data confidentiality. We share data only:

With explicit consent from the data-controlling institution

With service providers bound by confidentiality agreements (e.g., cloud infrastructure, security services)

When required by law or regulatory authorities

In anonymized, aggregated form for research or industry insights (with partner approval)

AES-256 encryption for data at rest and in transit

Role-based access controls and authentication

Regular security audits and vulnerability assessments

7. Data Retention

We retain data only as long as necessary for:

Institutional learning and decision model improvement

Upon partnership termination, data is retained according to contractual agreements and legal requirements, typically for a period of 7 years for audit purposes.

OW may process data in jurisdictions outside the European Economic Area (EEA). When we do, we ensure appropriate safeguards are in place, including:

Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) approved by the European Commission

Adequacy decisions where applicable

Binding corporate rules for intra-group transfers
