1. Introduction

Pitch Ready ("we," "our," or "us") operates the Pitch Ready platform, an AI-powered pitch assessment tool built for the Protocol Labs ecosystem. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and protect your information when you use our service.

2. Information We Collect

Account Information

When you create an account, we collect your email address for authentication via magic link sign-in. We do not collect passwords.

Pitch Materials

When you submit an assessment, we process your pitch video and deck files. Videos are transcribed using OpenAI Whisper, and decks are analyzed using Claude Vision. We also extract a small set of representative frames (typically 3–8 PNG images at 1280×720) from your video and analyze them with Claude Vision to assess framing, lighting, background, and presentation quality. All originals and derived assets — your video, deck, transcript, and extracted frames — are stored together in encrypted cloud storage and follow the same retention rules described in section 4a.

Usage Data

We automatically collect standard usage data including browser type, device information, and pages visited to improve our service.

3. How We Use Your Information

4. Data Protection

All files are encrypted in transit (TLS) and at rest via server-side encryption (AES-256) on our object storage
Your pitch materials are never used to train AI models
You may delete your data at any time through your account settings
We do not sell or share your personal data with third parties
Access to data is restricted to authorized personnel only

4a. Data Retention

We retain your assessments, scores, findings, and uploaded materials indefinitely until you delete them through your account. There is no automatic deletion at this time. You can soft-delete any assessment from the dashboard, which removes it from your view; to request a permanent purge of an account or specific files, contact us using the details in section 10.

5. AI & Third-Party Data Processing

To provide our service, your pitch materials are processed by third-party AI providers:

Your pitch video audio is sent to OpenAI for transcription. Your deck (PDF), transcript, and extracted video frames (PNG images sampled from your video) are sent to Anthropic for analysis. Data is transmitted solely for processing your assessment.
Under their commercial API terms, neither OpenAI nor Anthropic uses API inputs to train their models.
These providers may temporarily retain data for abuse monitoring and safety purposes in accordance with their respective policies.
For more information, see the OpenAI Privacy Policy and Anthropic Privacy Policy.
