Data Retention Policy
Athena Intelligence seeks to ensure that it retains only data necessary to effectively conduct its program activities and work in fulfillment of its mission. The need to retain data varies widely with the type of data and the purpose for which it was collected. Athena Intelligence strives to ensure that data is only retained for the period necessary to fulfill the purpose for which it was collected and is fully deleted when no longer required. This policy sets forth Athena Intelligence’s guidelines on data retention and is to be consistently applied throughout the organization. This policy covers all data collected by Athena Intelligence and stored on Athena Intelligence owned or leased systems and media, regardless of location. It applies to both data collected and held electronically (including photographs, video, and audio recordings) and data that is collected and held as hard copy or paper files. The need to retain certain information may be mandated by federal or local law, federal regulations, and legitimate business purposes, as well as the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
Reasons for Data Retention
Athena Intelligence retains only that data that is necessary to effectively conduct its program activities, fulfill its mission, and comply with applicable laws and regulations. Reasons for data retention include:
- Providing an ongoing service to the data subject
- Compliance with applicable laws and regulations associated with financial and programmatic reporting by Athena Intelligence to its funding agencies and other donors
- Compliance with applicable labor, tax, and immigration laws
- Other regulatory requirements
- Security incident or other investigation
- Intellectual property preservation
- Litigation
Data Duplication
Athena Intelligence seeks to avoid duplication in data storage whenever possible, though there may be instances in which for programmatic or other business reasons it is necessary for data to be held in more than one place. This policy applies to all data in Athena Intelligence’s possession, including duplicate copies of data.
Retention Requirements
Athena Intelligence has set the following guidelines for retaining all personal data as defined in the Athena Intelligence data privacy policy.
- Website visitor data will be retained as long as necessary to provide the service requested/initiated through the Athena Intelligence website.
- Customer data will be retained for a period configurable upon request by the client, with the default being retained until specified otherwise.
Data Destruction
Data destruction ensures that Athena Intelligence manages the data it controls and processes it in an efficient and responsible manner. When the retention period for the data as outlined above expires, Athena Intelligence will actively destroy the data covered by this policy. If an individual believes that there exists a legitimate business reason why certain data should not be destroyed at the end of a retention period, he or she should identify this data to his/her supervisor and provide information as to why the data should not be destroyed. Any exceptions to this data retention policy must be approved by Athena Intelligence’s data protection officer in consultation with legal counsel. In rare circumstances, a litigation hold may be issued by legal counsel prohibiting the destruction of certain documents. A litigation hold remains in effect until released by legal counsel and prohibits the destruction of data subject to the hold.
Data Deletion Requests
If you would like to request that your personal or organization data get deleted from Athena Intelligence, you can submit a request for deletion to team@athenaintelligence.ai. The data deletion process may take a few days to complete and will remove all information related to your user and/or organization dependent upon your request.
Athena Intelligence Does Not Use Customer Data for Training Models
Athena Intelligence is committed to maintaining the privacy and security of our customers' data. We do not use any customer data for training our AI models. All data provided by customers is used solely for the purpose of delivering and improving our services as outlined in this privacy policy.
