03 / Antitrust and data policy
We do not sell or share your data with competitors.
That sentence is the headline assurance. The boundary that backs it is architectural, not a promise. Three rules govern every byte of customer data the platform sees, written into the system and the contract:
Water Hawk does not sell, license, lease, or otherwise transfer your customer-contributed data to any third party. Aggregated cohort metrics derived from contributed data comply with cooling-off windows, contributor-count thresholds, and statistical anonymization specified in the Data Sharing Addendum.
Rule 01
Forward signals never read your data
The Infrastructure Readiness Score, the dossier sections, scenario models, and lane benchmarks at the public level are derived only from public-record material and Water Hawk first-party research. They are computed in a separate environment that has no read access to customer-contributed data. This is a system-level boundary, not a process promise.
Rule 02
Cooling-off and threshold gates
Your contributed data feeds your private dashboard immediately. It enters cross-customer aggregates only after a 90-day cooling-off window AND only when a cohort has at least five contributors AND no single contributor exceeds 25 percent of any reported value. One-way hashing and differential-privacy noise are applied before publication.
Rule 03
Disconnect at any time
You can disconnect your CRM and revoke contribution at any time from the platform. Records already in your private dashboard stay yours. Cross-customer aggregates from your active period remain in the published aggregates because they cannot be selectively un-aggregated; this is documented in the Data Sharing Addendum and is the trade-off that keeps the cohort math defensible.
The boundary that keeps customer-contributed data out of the forward-signal layer is enforced at the network and database level, not by application logic. Your data is yours.
