Privacy Policy

Version 0.2 — Last Updated March 16, 2026

CaladanAI, Inc. ("CaladanAI," "Company," "we," "us," or "our") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy describes how we collect, use, disclose, and protect information in two distinct contexts:

  1. When you visit our website at caladan.ai (the "Website") — Part I of this policy applies to you.
  2. When you use our cloud-based clinical trial financial planning platform (the "Platform") as an authorized user of a subscribing organization — Part II of this policy applies to you.

If you are a Platform User, Part II supplements the End-User License Agreement ("EULA") between CaladanAI and your organization. In the event of a conflict between this Privacy Policy and the EULA regarding the handling of Customer Data, the EULA shall govern.

Sections 10 through 16 of this policy apply to both Website Visitors and Platform Users.

Part II — Platform Privacy Notice

This section applies to authorized users ("Platform Users") of organizations ("Customers") that subscribe to the CaladanAI Platform. Platform Users access the Platform through their organization's subscription. Your organization's administrator controls your account, access level, and the Customer Data your organization inputs into the Platform. This notice supplements — and does not replace — the EULA between CaladanAI and your organization.

5. Information We Collect from Platform Users

5.1 Information You or Your Organization Provide

  • Account Information: Name, email address, job title, and role within your organization, provided during account setup or provisioned by your organization's administrator
  • Customer Data: All data that you or your organization input, upload, create, or generate through the Platform, including:
    • Clinical trial cost estimates and financial projections

    • Vendor and contract information

  • Payment card information — payment processing is handled by our third-party payment processor, and we do not store card numbers or security codes

6. How We Use Platform User Information

6.1 Platform Operations

We use information from Platform Users to:

(a) Provide, operate, and maintain the Platform

(b) Authenticate your identity and manage access permissions

(c) Process and display Customer Data within the Platform as directed by your organization

(d) Provide technical support and respond to service requests

(e) Monitor Platform performance, reliability, and security

(f) Send service-related notifications (e.g., maintenance windows, security alerts, feature updates)

(g) Improve and enhance Platform features and functionality

(h) Comply with legal obligations and enforce our agreements

6.2 Anonymized and Aggregated Data

We create Anonymized Data from Customer Data by aggregating, de-identifying, and anonymizing it so that it cannot reasonably be used to identify any individual, organization, or specific clinical trial. We use Anonymized Data to:

(a) Develop and publish industry benchmarks (e.g., clinical trial cost benchmarks by therapeutic area, phase, and geography)

(b) Build enrollment rate benchmarks and site performance metrics

(c) Train, improve, and validate the machine learning models and AI systems that power the Platform

(d) Produce aggregated analytics and industry insights

Anonymization Standards. We ensure that:

  • Individual organizations cannot be re-identified from Anonymized Data through reasonable efforts
  • Specific clinical trials, compounds, or investigational products cannot be attributed to a specific organization
  • Financial figures, vendor names, site names, and other organization-specific identifiers are removed or generalized
  • No benchmark is published that is derived from fewer than ten (10) distinct customer organizations

Opt-Out. Platform Customers may opt out of contributing to the Anonymized Data pool by submitting a written request to us. Customers who opt out will lose access to Benchmark-Dependent Features (features powered by the aggregated data pool, listed at caladan.ai/legal/benchmark-features) but will retain full access to all other Platform functionality. See EULA Section 13.3 for complete opt-out terms.

Transparency. We publish an annual summary describing the categories of benchmarks and aggregate insights derived from Anonymized Data during the preceding twelve months.

7. How We Share Platform User Information

We do not sell Customer Data or Platform User personal information. We share information only in the following circumstances:

7.1 Service Providers (Sub-Processors)

We use third-party service providers to help us operate the Platform. These providers process data on our behalf and are contractually obligated to protect your information. Our current list of sub-processors, including their function and data processing location, is maintained at caladan.ai/legal/sub-processors.

Categories of sub-processors include:

  • Cloud Infrastructure: Hosting, database, and authentication services
  • Application Delivery: Content delivery and edge computing
  • AI/ML Services: Artificial intelligence and machine learning capabilities
  • Analytics: Product analytics and monitoring
  • Communications: Email delivery and customer support tools

We provide at least thirty (30) days' notice before engaging a new sub-processor that will process Customer Data, and Platform Customers have the right to object as described in EULA Section 7.4.

7.2 Within Your Organization

Your account information, activity, and role are visible to administrators within your organization as part of normal Platform functionality.

7.3 Legal Requirements

We may disclose information if required to do so by law or in response to valid legal process, including court orders, subpoenas, or government requests. Where legally permitted, we will notify the affected Customer before disclosing Customer Data in response to legal process.

7.4 Business Transfers

In connection with a merger, acquisition, reorganization, or sale of assets, Platform User information may be transferred as part of that transaction. We will notify affected Customers of any such transfer.

7.5 Anonymized Data

Anonymized Data (as described in Section 6.2) may be shared, published, or distributed without restriction, as it cannot be used to identify any individual or organization. The sharing of Anonymized Data does not constitute a sale of personal information or Customer Data.

8. Platform User Data Retention

  • Account information: Retained for the duration of the Customer's subscription, plus the 90-day Retrieval Period following termination
  • Customer Data: Retained for the duration of the subscription. Following termination, Customer Data is maintained in accessible form for ninety (90) days (the "Retrieval Period") to allow data export. After the Retrieval Period, Customer Data is deleted within 90 days of termination, plus up to 30 additional days for backup purge cycles, after which it is permanently deleted from all systems
  • Usage and log data: Retained for up to twelve (12) months for security monitoring and Platform improvement
  • Anonymized Data: Retained indefinitely. Anonymized Data is irreversibly de-identified and cannot be attributed to any individual or organization. It is not subject to deletion requests.

9. Platform User Rights

9.1 Your Organization Controls Your Account

If you are a Platform User, your Customer organization controls your account and the Customer Data processed through the Platform. To exercise rights regarding Customer Data, please contact your organization's administrator first. We will cooperate with your organization to fulfill your request in accordance with the EULA.

For requests related solely to your individual account information (name, email, login credentials), you may contact us directly at privacy@caladan.ai.

9.2 Future International Rights (GDPR)

CaladanAI does not currently operate in jurisdictions subject to the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Prior to expanding Platform availability to the European Economic Area, we will update this Privacy Policy to address GDPR-specific rights, including lawful basis for processing, right to restriction, right to object, right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, and cross-border data transfer mechanisms.

Shared Provisions

The following sections apply to both Website Visitors and Platform Users.

10. Data Security

We implement commercially reasonable administrative, technical, and physical security measures to protect your information, including:

  • Encryption: Data encrypted in transit (TLS 1.2+) and at rest (AES-256)
