Privacy Policy

CogniMate AI is built on a principle of cognitive respect — the same intelligence we apply to your content, we apply to your data. We collect only what is necessary, use it only for what you expect, and never sell it.

Effective: May 13, 2026 · COGNITIVE AI-CLOUD SYSTEMS LTD · RC-7968772

01Who We Are

CogniMate AI is a product of Cognitive AI-Cloud Systems Ltd, a company incorporated in the Federal Republic of Nigeria under Registration Number RC-7968772. We operate the waitlist, platform, and all associated services at cognimateai.com. References to "we", "us", or "CogniMate" throughout this document refer to this entity.

02What We Collect — and Why

When you join our founding waitlist, we collect your first name, last name, email address, and optionally your phone number. We also collect standard technical data: your IP address, browser type, referring URL, and UTM parameters if you arrived via a marketing link.

We collect this to: (1) confirm your waitlist position and send launch communications, (2) personalise your onboarding when the platform opens, and (3) understand how people discover CogniMate so we can reach the right audience.

We do not collect financial data at the waitlist stage. Payment details are collected only at subscription time via PCI-compliant processors.

03How Your Data Is Used

  • Sending your waitlist confirmation and launch-day notification on June 3, 2026
  • Delivering founding member onboarding materials and platform access credentials
  • Notifying you of relevant product updates, new features, and cohort communications
  • Improving our platform based on aggregated, anonymised usage signals
  • Complying with applicable law and responding to lawful requests

04AI Processing & Your Content

CogniMate's AI pipeline — built on Microsoft Azure, Anthropic Claude, and Google Veo — processes content you provide (niche preferences, brand guidelines, topic inputs) solely to generate your video deliverables. This content is processed under strict data processing agreements with each provider and is never used to train third-party AI models without your explicit consent.

Your generated content is yours. We assert no intellectual property rights over videos, scripts, or assets produced by your subscription pipeline.

05Data Sharing

We share your data with a limited set of sub-processors required to operate the platform: Microsoft Azure (infrastructure), Anthropic (Claude AI API), Google (Veo / Imagen API), and n8n (workflow automation). Each operates under a Data Processing Agreement with us.

We never sell, rent, or broker your personal data to advertisers, data brokers, or any third party for commercial purposes. Full stop.

06Data Retention & Deletion

Waitlist data is retained until you request deletion or the platform reaches general availability, at which point it is migrated to your subscriber profile or permanently purged upon request. You may request deletion at any time by emailing legal@cognimateai.com. We will process deletion requests within 30 days.

07Your Rights

Under the Nigeria Data Protection Regulation (NDPR) and applicable data protection law, you have the right to: access your data, correct inaccuracies, request deletion, object to processing, and request portability. To exercise any right, contact us at legal@cognimateai.com. We do not require account login to process these requests.

08Security

All data in transit is protected by TLS 1.3 with AES-256-GCM encryption. Data at rest is encrypted on Microsoft Azure-managed storage. We apply the principle of least privilege internally — only team members with a specific operational need can access identifiable user data.

09Changes to This Policy

If we make material changes to this policy, we will notify waitlist members by email at least 14 days before the changes take effect. Continued use of the platform after that date constitutes acceptance. The effective date at the top of this page reflects the current version.
