Data Governance
Our standards for data integrity, verification, and ethical handling.
Last updated: December 1, 2025
1. Data Integrity & Verification
Novai Intelligence is committed to the highest standards of data accuracy. Our "Truth-First" architecture ensures that every signal ingested into our platform undergoes a rigorous verification process.
- Source Validation: We only ingest data from a curated list of 109+ verified sources, including government agencies, accredited research labs, and primary industry reports.
- Cross-Referencing: Critical intelligence is cross-referenced against multiple independent sources before being flagged as high-confidence.
- Provenance Tracking: Every data point retains a clear lineage to its original source, allowing for complete auditability.
2. Data Retention & Archiving
We maintain a structured data lifecycle policy to ensure performance and compliance:
- Real-Time Feeds: Raw feed data is retained in our hot storage for 30 days to support immediate analysis and trend detection.
- Synthesized Intelligence: Generated reports, summaries, and vector embeddings are archived permanently in cold storage for historical analysis and long-term trend mapping.
- User Data: User search history and preferences are retained as long as the account is active, or until a deletion request is received.
3. Ethical AI & Bias Mitigation
Our synthesis engine is designed with safeguards to minimize bias and ensure objective reporting:
- Algorithmic Transparency: We regularly audit our vector ranking algorithms to identify and correct for potential systemic biases.
- Neutral Tone: Our summarization models are fine-tuned to prioritize factual, neutral language over sensationalism.
4. Security & Compliance
We adhere to strict security protocols to protect the integrity of our intelligence data:
- Encryption: All data is encrypted at rest and in transit using industry-standard protocols (AES-256, TLS 1.3).
- Access Control: Internal access to raw data is strictly limited to authorized personnel on a need-to-know basis.
