The short version
We collect the minimum data needed to run your account and generate useful recommendations. Your briefs, campaigns and platform data are yours. We never sell them, never train shared models on identifiable content, and you can revoke any connection or export your data at any time.
What we collect
Three buckets:
- Account info. Name, work email, company, role, password hash. Used to log you in and contact you about your account.
- Platform data. When you connect an ad platform (Meta, Google, TikTok, LinkedIn, DV360), Medusa pulls campaign structure, spend, impressions and performance metrics through official APIs. We do not read DMs, personal profiles or anything outside the advertising scope you grant.
- Plan content. Briefs you upload, personas you generate, audiences you save, allocations and tactics. This is the workspace data you create inside Medusa.
How we use it
Strictly to deliver the product. Concretely, that means: generating personas and audiences from your brief, recommending channel mixes, showing pacing vs plan, surfacing AI recommendations and improving those recommendations as more data flows in.
We do not use your data to train generic foundation models for other customers, sell to data brokers, or build advertising profiles outside Medusa.
How the RAG vector store works
When you upload a brief or ask Medusa a question about your plan, the system uses Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG). In plain terms: we turn relevant pieces of your content into mathematical embeddings (vectors) and store them in a vector database. When you ask something, the closest matching vectors are retrieved and used as context for the language model to compose an answer.
This pattern matters for privacy because:
- Your content stays in your tenant in the vector store. Vectors are scoped per account.
- The language model only sees the small slice of context retrieved for that specific query, never the whole library.
- No customer's vectors are mixed into another customer's retrieval pool.
Anonymization
Before content is embedded, we run an anonymization pass that strips obvious identifiers: people's names, email addresses, phone numbers, account IDs and similar PII. What ends up as a vector is the structural and strategic content of your work, not who it's for.
For metrics from ad platforms, Medusa stores aggregates and campaign identifiers, not the underlying audience members that platforms showed your ads to (we don't have access to that data anyway).
AI providers
To deliver the AI features (brief parsing, persona generation, channel recommendations, copy suggestions), Medusa sends prompts and the minimum necessary context to third-party AI model providers such as Anthropic and OpenAI.
What we send:
- Anonymized, task-relevant context from your workspace (the slice retrieved by RAG for that specific request).
- Embeddings generated from your content for semantic retrieval.
What we do not send:
- Your account credentials, OAuth tokens, or platform login details.
- PII identified by the anonymization pass (names, emails, phone numbers, customer-level data).
- Whole-account data dumps.
We use these providers under their enterprise/API terms, which contractually prohibit using your content to train shared models and require zero-retention or short-retention handling. Where a provider offers a zero-retention mode, we use it. The current list of AI sub-processors is available on request from Info@getmedusa.ai.
Product improvement
We do use aggregated, de-identified usage signals to improve Medusa: feature usage counts, error rates, latency, and patterns like "how often does a persona get edited after generation". These signals don't contain your content and can't be tied back to a person.
We do not train shared AI models on your briefs, plans, audiences, performance data, or any other workspace content. If we ever want to use your content to train models that benefit other customers, that will be a separate, explicit, opt-in offer, not a default.
Forms on this site
When you submit a form on the marketing site (the contact form, a demo request, or a newsletter sign-up), here's what happens:
- The fields you fill in (name, email, company, role, message) are sent over TLS to our backend.
- They're stored in our customer-relationship database so a human on our team can reply.
- A copy is routed to our shared inbox via transactional email (sub-processor: an email provider bound by a DPA).
What we don't do:
- Send your form content to AI model providers.
- Use it to train AI models.
- Share it with marketing partners or sell it to third parties.
Form submissions are retained while we have an active conversation with you and for a reasonable follow-up window after; you can request deletion at any time by emailing Info@getmedusa.ai.
OAuth tokens
Connecting an ad platform stores an OAuth token, not your password. Tokens are encrypted at rest using envelope encryption with rotated keys. You can revoke any connection from the Platforms screen inside Medusa, which deletes the token from our store and revokes our read access at the source.
Storage & security
Data is hosted on industry-standard cloud infrastructure (currently AWS in the EU and US regions) with encryption in transit (TLS 1.2+) and at rest (AES-256). Access to production systems is restricted to a small operations team, gated behind SSO and MFA, and audit-logged.
We run regular security reviews and have a coordinated disclosure policy. If you spot something concerning, email Info@getmedusa.ai.
Your rights
Depending on where you live (GDPR, UK GDPR, CCPA and friends), you have rights to access, correct, delete or port your data, and to object to certain processing. Email Info@getmedusa.ai and we'll get it done. No dark patterns, no friction.
Retention
Account and workspace data is retained while your account is active. If you delete your account, we purge your data within 30 days, except where we're required to keep limited records (billing, tax) longer. You can also export your plans at any time.
Changes to this policy
When we update this policy materially, we'll email account holders and date-stamp the new version at the top. Minor wording fixes (typos, clarifications) go in quietly.
