Privacy Policy

Account and application information includes your Clerk ID, name, verified email, optional firm, title and use case, consent and version, application and invitation history, admission, suspension and verification state. Personalization includes onboarding answers, company and verification details, preferences, watchlists and memberships, preset forks, saved peer groups and follows.

Activity and file information includes ticker requests, alerts, notifications and read state, digest cursors, correction submissions and resolutions, shared-job attribution, email logs, cached briefs and brief preparation files, historical feedback pending cleanup, privacy requests, operator exports and support attachments. Operational data includes rate-limit hashes, service diagnostics, access logs and delivery and operation receipts.

Proxima uses cookies and similar technologies set by our authentication provider, Clerk, to keep you signed in and to protect your session from unauthorized access. These are functional session cookies necessary for the Service to work — we do not use third-party advertising or cross-site tracking cookies. Disabling cookies in your browser will prevent you from staying signed in.

On the home page, a first-party functional preference cookie named proxima_intro remembers that this browser has started the introduction, so later visits show the background rain. Its value is an introduction version, not an identifier, and it expires after one year. We set it when playback starts. If the browser cannot store the cookie, we use localStorage under proxima.heroIntro with the version and an expiration time one year later. Neither preference contains an account ID or is linked to your account.

Replay intro plays the introduction again when your browser and display support it; starting a replay renews the one-year preference. Clearing the site's cookies and localStorage removes the preference, so a later eligible visit may play the introduction again. If both kinds of storage are blocked, the browser cannot remember that it has played.

Pause motion stops the home-page rain and related animations. We remember that choice in localStorage as proxima.heroMotion with the value paused, until you choose Resume motion or clear site data. This preference contains no identifier and is not linked to your account.

Accounts invited to preview Proxima's new design get one more first-party functional cookie, proxima_redesign. Its value is 1 while the new design is on for this browser. Your browser sends it with each page request so the site can show you the matching pages. It holds no identifier, and it expires after 30 days or as soon as the new design is switched off. In the new design, the Research page keeps up to three companies or people you opened recently in this browser's localStorage under proxima.recent.v1. They are stored with your account ID so that another account using the same browser never sees them. It also remembers which Research table columns you hid, under keys beginning proxima.research.hidden. These localStorage entries stay in your browser and are not sent to us. Clearing the site's cookies and localStorage removes all of them.

We use account and usage information to operate and maintain the Service, authenticate sign-ins and protect against fraud and abuse, respond to support requests, send you operational communications (such as account or security notices), and understand aggregate usage patterns so we can prioritize product improvements. We do not use your account information to train third-party advertising models, and we do not build advertising profiles about you.

We use Clerk for authentication identity and sessions, Resend for recipient addresses and email subject and body, Anthropic for daily-brief counts and selected event data, and DigitalOcean for application, database, file and backup hosting. Daily-brief payloads sent to Anthropic exclude your account email and Clerk ID. Support forwarding and the owner's mailbox may hold additional active copies that are included in the account-cleanup process.

We do not sell your personal information or share it for other parties' marketing. Provider-managed residual retention is separate from copies under our control.

Public SEC-derived executive, person and company research is separate from Works account ownership and remains after account erasure. Questions or requests concerning public-source personal data can be sent to support@proxima.works for review.

Active account deletion is irreversible. We keep verified correction facts with neutral provenance, without reporter identity, free-text notes or unreviewed proposed values. We also retain instance-scoped keyed fingerprints of Clerk ID, email and consumed invitation IDs, dates and reason codes to prevent stale identities, invitations, journals or restored backups from recreating an erased account. These records are pseudonymous. We retire that record once we have confirmed all relevant replay sources are gone and completed a reviewed removal procedure.

Restricted nightly backups expire within fourteen days. We do not purge backups separately for each request. The final backup containing erased account data expires within fourteen days after active deletion. The deletion receipt shows the active completion date and separate backup-expiry date. An independent erasure register is replayed before restored data can serve traffic or workers.

Use Delete my account and data in Works Settings or email support@proxima.works to request account erasure. To request an account export, email support@proxima.works before deleting. We verify your identity, acknowledge privacy requests within two business days and complete active erasure or deliver a verified operator export within seven calendar days after verification. Settings starts deletion and our server continues processing it; our team may need to finish part of the cleanup. Account exports are prepared and independently reviewed by our team and delivered through a protected channel. Controlled export files and transfer access have a seven-day expiry deadline from the start of preparation. Our team handles file removal and transfer revocation.

Suspension restricts research access but does not remove access to unsubscribe, export requests or erasure requests. If you cannot use your login, contact support@proxima.works for independent verification. Files you have already downloaded and messages already accepted by a delivery provider cannot be recalled.

We use commercially reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards designed to protect information from unauthorized access, alteration, or disclosure. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Proxima is a business research tool and is not directed to, or intended for use by, children under 16. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time as the Service evolves. If we make material changes, we will update the effective date below and, where appropriate, provide additional notice.

Questions about this Privacy Policy or the information we hold can be directed to support@proxima.works.
