Privacy Policy

Pulsatance, LLC (“we”, “us”, or “our”) respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you use bio.rodeo (the “Service”).

Most of bio.rodeo needs no account and no personal information at all. Browsing the catalog, the leaderboard, the landscape, and the provider pages is anonymous.

Information you provide

• Access requests. When you join the waitlist or redeem an invitation code, we collect your email address, name, organization, industry, role, what brings you to bio.rodeo, and the invitation code if you used one.
• Consent record. Alongside your request we record which version of the Terms and this policy you agreed to, the time you agreed, your IP address, and your browser’s user-agent string. This exists so we can show what was actually consented to, and to which document.
• Account information. Your email address, account tier, marketing preference, and the profile fields you can edit at any time in account settings.
• Collections. The names, descriptions, and contents of the lists you save.
• Submissions. Anything you send through the “Submit a model” or “Flag content” forms, including the email address you optionally attach to it.

Information collected automatically

• Usage data: pages viewed, requests to our programmatic interfaces, and interactions with the Service.
• Technical data: IP address, browser type, device information, and access timestamps, recorded in ordinary server and hosting logs.

We use collected information to:

• Provide, maintain, and improve the Service;
• Authenticate your identity and manage your account;
• Decide on access requests and operate the beta waitlist;
• Monitor usage patterns and enforce rate limits;
• Communicate with you about the Service, including access decisions, updates, and support;
• Send marketing email, where you have consented (see below);
• Detect and prevent fraud, abuse, or security incidents;
• Understand our audience in aggregate — for example, which industries and roles the beta is reaching.

We do not sell your personal information. We share it with service providers who help us operate the Service, only as needed for them to do that work. Those providers fall into the following categories:

• Cloud hosting and infrastructure
• Database and authentication
• Transactional and marketing email delivery
• Aggregate analytics, and bot and abuse protection
• Issue tracking, for submissions you send us through our forms
• AI-assisted development, review, and administration tooling

We may also disclose information when required by law, regulation, or legal process, and in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets.

If you would like to know which specific vendors we currently use in any of these categories, write to us at support@pulsatance.ai and we will tell you.

We use AI-assisted tooling to build and run bio.rodeo — including reviewing submissions sent through our forms, checking and editing catalog content, and administering accounts. Personal information you have given us, such as the contents of a submission or the details on an account, may be processed by those tools in the course of that work.

Separately, the Service uses machine learning on its own public catalog content — the embeddings behind related-model links and the model landscape are computed from public model descriptions, and involve no personal information.

We retain your information for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide the Service. Waitlist records are kept while your request is open and afterwards as the record of consent and of the access decision. We may retain certain information as required by law or for legitimate business purposes.

We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect your information. Sign-in is passwordless, so there is no password of yours for us to lose. However, no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

The Service links out to model repositories, papers, hosting providers, and other third-party sites, and can be reached from third-party tools through our programmatic interfaces. Your use of those tools and sites is subject to their own privacy policies. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of third-party services.

We use a minimal set of strictly necessary first-party cookies and browser storage to authenticate users and operate the Service. We do not use advertising cookies and we do not track you across other sites.

Categories of cookies and similar storage

• Essential (used): required for sign-in, session management, and accepting or redeeming an invitation. These are necessary for the Service to function, and disabling them in your browser may prevent it from working properly.
• Preference / functional (not used): we do not store preference or functional cookies.
• Analytics (used, cookieless): we use Vercel Analytics to measure aggregate traffic. It does not set cookies, does not fingerprint your device, and does not follow you to other sites. Where we record custom events — a filter applied, a link followed — we deliberately record the shape of the action and not its content: the length of a search query, never the query itself.
• Bot protection (used): Vercel BotID runs on our submission forms to distinguish humans from automated abuse.
• Advertising / retargeting (not used): we do not engage in cross-context behavioral advertising and do not load advertising or retargeting cookies.

Cookie banner

Because we only set strictly necessary cookies, we do not currently display a cookie consent banner. Where permitted by applicable law, prior consent is generally not required for cookies that are essential to delivering a service the user has requested.

Do-Not-Track and Global Privacy Control

We do not sell or share personal information and do not engage in cross-context behavioral advertising, so there is currently nothing to opt out of through the Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal. If our practices ever change, we will treat GPC as a valid opt-out of any “sale” or “sharing” of personal information under applicable U.S. state privacy laws. Because we already do not track users across other sites or services, Do-Not-Track (DNT) signals do not change how we process your data.

Self-regulatory principles

We do not engage in interest-based advertising, so the Digital Advertising Alliance (DAA) Self-Regulatory Principles for Online Behavioral Advertising do not currently apply to our processing. If we ever introduce such advertising, we will update this policy and provide the required notice and choice mechanisms.

Requesting access to the beta includes consenting to receive email from us about bio.rodeo. We ask for this up front rather than opting you in quietly, and we keep the record of when you agreed.

You can withdraw that consent at any time, in either of two ways:

• Turn off “Email me occasional bio.rodeo updates” in your account settings; or
• Use the unsubscribe link in the footer of any marketing email.

Either one takes effect for all marketing email. Withdrawing consent does not stop transactional messages you need — sign-in links, and notices about your account.

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have the right to:

• Access the personal information we hold about you;
• Request correction of inaccurate information;
• Request deletion of your information;
• Object to or restrict certain processing of your information;
• Withdraw consent you previously gave.

Two of these you can exercise yourself, immediately: edit your profile fields and marketing preference in account settings, and delete your account — along with your collections — from the same page. For anything else, or to reach Pulsatance about a request, contact us at support@pulsatance.ai.

The Service is not intended for individuals under 18 years of age. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of material changes by updating the “Last updated” date above. Continued use of the Service after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.

If you have questions about this Privacy Policy, contact us at support@pulsatance.ai. You can also read our Terms of Service.
