Effective Date: January 2026

Last Updated: January 2026

Augure is a product of The Altercation Company (“we,” “us,” “our”), a company registered in Ontario, Canada. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and protect your personal information when you use our AI platform and related services (“Services”). We built Augure on a simple principle: your data belongs in Canada. Unlike US-based AI services, we ensure your information never leaves Canadian borders.

Our Commitment to Canadian Data Sovereignty

Your data stays in Canada. All personal information and user content processed through Augure is stored exclusively on Canadian infrastructure. We do not transfer your data to servers located outside of Canada for storage or processing.

This approach is designed to help you meet Canadian privacy requirements including:

  • •PIPEDA (Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act)
  • •Quebec Law 25 (Act to modernize legislative provisions as regards the protection of personal information)
  • •CPCSC (Canadian Program for Cyber Security Certification) requirements for defense contractors

Legal Requirements

We may disclose personal information if required by law, including in response to:
