This Privacy Policy explains how Empowered House P.S.A. collects, uses, and protects personal data when you visit the Empowered Intelligence pages at empowered.house/intelligence (the Site) or use the Empowered Intelligence product, formerly Shugyo (the Service). It applies to Site visitors, prospects, account users, and personal data contained in client data that we process through the Service.
As a controller, we process personal data about Site visitors, prospects who book a walkthrough, and account users.
As a processor, we process personal data contained in client data that the Service connects to and analyses for the client.
Empowered House P.S.A. operates the Empowered Intelligence product. It is the controller of Site and account data and the processor of client data. Empowered House P.S.A. is a simple joint-stock company (prosta spolka akcyjna) organized under the laws of Poland.
We have appointed Karol Wojtaszek as our Data Protection Officer. You can contact him at contact@empowered.house.
We collect identity and contact data through the Site and walkthrough booking, including your name, work email, company, and role. We also collect information you provide about your organization and data sources, plus technical and usage data such as your IP address, device and browser data, and interactions recorded through cookies and similar technologies.
For account and pilot users, we collect account data such as name, work email, role, and authentication data. We also collect product usage data, including queries run, features used, and logs needed to operate and secure the Service.
Our legal bases are pre-contract steps and contract performance; legitimate interests in running, securing, and improving the Site and Service; consent for non-essential cookies and any marketing; and legal obligations such as accounting.
When a client connects Empowered Intelligence to its data, such as a Google BigQuery dataset, the Service builds a semantic company model over the data and runs analytical queries against it. The connected data may contain personal data about the client's employees, customers, or contacts.
The Service uses AI models to interpret the ontology and answer queries about connected data. Queries are sent to Anthropic, which provides Claude models and acts as a sub-processor under contractual terms.
Anthropic is based in the United States. Under those terms, client data sent in prompts is not used to train Anthropic's models.
The Service is built so that client data can stay in the client's chosen region. Client data analysed through BigQuery is kept in an EU region by default; other regional or dedicated hosting arrangements are available for regulated clients on request.
Answering a query may still involve sending relevant data to the AI sub-processor described above, which processes it in the United States under appropriate safeguards.
We use Google Analytics cookies to measure visits and usage of the Site. You can opt out using the analytics banner. Google Analytics also respects your browser's Do Not Track setting.
The Site uses strictly necessary cookies to function. Only where you consent, we use PostHog for product and usage analytics; you can grant, decline, or withdraw consent through the cookie banner and your browser.
We also use Snitcher, a business-visitor identification service that uses your IP address to identify the company or organization behind a visit. It identifies the business, not you as an individual, and sets one cookie, SNID, to distinguish visitors. Snitcher processes data within the EU (AWS, Frankfurt).
The contact form is protected by Google reCAPTCHA v3, which keeps automated spam out. When you submit the form, reCAPTCHA collects your IP address, browser and device data, and how you interacted with the page, and sends them to Google, which may set its own cookies. We use the result only to decide whether a submission came from a person. Google's processing is covered by the Google Privacy Policy and Terms of Service.
We share personal data with the following recipients:
We do not sell personal data.
Some sub-processors may process data outside the European Economic Area. These include Anthropic in the United States, Google, for reCAPTCHA, in the United States and, depending on the configured region, PostHog. Snitcher processes data within the EU (AWS, Frankfurt). For processing outside the European Economic Area, we rely on an adequacy decision or appropriate safeguards such as the Standard Contractual Clauses. Details are available on request and in the DPA.
We maintain technical and organizational measures appropriate to the risk. Access to client data is controlled at the data-source level, for example BigQuery roles, with access controls, encryption in transit, and logging.
We are working toward recognized certifications, including SOC 2 and ISO/IEC 27001; we do not yet hold either certification. Current status and any available reports can be requested at contact@empowered.house.
If we are the controller of your data, you have rights to access, rectification, erasure, restriction, objection, and portability. You may also withdraw consent where processing is based on it. To exercise a right, contact contact@empowered.house.
If your personal data is part of a client's connected data, the client is the controller; please direct your request to that client, and we will assist them as required by the DPA.
You may lodge a complaint with the Polish supervisory authority, the President of the Personal Data Protection Office (Prezes Urzedu Ochrony Danych Osobowych, UODO), ul. Stawki 2, 00-193 Warszawa, or with the authority in your country of residence.
The Service is a business product and is not directed at children. We do not knowingly collect data from children under 16.
We may update this policy. The current version and its effective date are posted on this page; material changes will be made clear.
