Privacy Policy
Aero GTM AI Limited ("Aero," "we," "our," or "us") provides an AI-powered investment research platform. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, how we share it, and the choices you have regarding your data. By using Aero, you agree to the practices described in this policy. Aero is intended solely for use by residents of the United States who are 18 years of age or older.
Overview
We believe privacy is foundational to trust. We collect only the data we need to operate Aero and provide you with useful insights. We do not sell your personal data, serve you ads, or use your data to train AI models.
If you have questions about this policy, contact our privacy team at [email protected] or by phone at +1 415 720 8304.
Information we collect
We collect the following categories of information:
When you sign in with Google, we receive your name and email address. We do not collect or store your Google password.
With your explicit permission, we access your investment holdings, cost basis, and related portfolio structure through Plaid. We do not access or store your banking credentials, account numbers, login information, or payment details.
We store watchlists, strategies, preferences, and other configurations you create within the platform.
We collect information about how you interact with Aero, including pages visited, features used, and session activity. This helps us improve the product and diagnose issues.
We generate derived insights based on your portfolio and inputs — such as portfolio scores, risk assessments, and strategy outputs. These are generated for your use and are not sold or shared with third parties for commercial purposes.
How we collect it
We collect information in three ways:
- Directly from you — when you create an account, connect integrations, build watchlists, or configure strategies
- From third parties — Google provides your name and email during authentication; Plaid provides your portfolio data when you connect your brokerage
- Automatically — through cookies, analytics tools, and usage tracking as you interact with the platform
How we use your data
We use your data to operate and improve Aero. Specifically, we use it to:
- Authenticate your account and maintain secure sessions
- Analyze your portfolio and generate AI-powered research insights
- Produce derived outputs including portfolio scores and risk assessments
- Improve product performance, diagnose technical issues, and understand feature usage
- Maintain platform security and prevent fraudulent or harmful activity
- Communicate with you about your account and the platform
AI processing
Aero uses third-party AI providers, including OpenAI and Anthropic, to generate insights. When you request AI-powered analysis, relevant data may be transmitted to these providers for processing. This includes publicly available third-party content — such as X (formerly Twitter) posts and profile metadata surfaced through our integrations — which may be sent to AI providers for sentiment analysis, summarization, and related processing. The following applies to all AI processing:
- Data sent to AI providers is governed by strict data handling agreements
- We do not use your personal data or portfolio data to train AI models
- AI outputs are generated based on your inputs and are not retained by providers beyond the processing window
- AI-generated insights are for informational purposes only and do not constitute financial advice
Google data
We use Google Sign-In for authentication only. We access your name and email address to create and identify your account. We do not access Gmail content, Google Drive files, Google Calendar, or any other Google service content. We do not use your Google data for advertising or profiling.
Aero's use of Google API Services complies with the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.
Plaid integration
When you connect your portfolio, we use Plaid as a secure intermediary. Plaid is a trusted financial data infrastructure provider used by thousands of financial applications. Your brokerage login credentials are entered directly into Plaid's secure interface and are never transmitted to, stored by, or visible to Aero.
Through Plaid, Aero accesses only your investment holdings and related portfolio data. We do not access checking accounts, savings accounts, transaction history, or payment information. You can disconnect your Plaid connection at any time from your account settings, at which point we stop receiving data from that connection.
X (formerly Twitter) data
Aero integrates with the X API (operated by X Corp) to surface publicly available posts and profile information alongside the stocks you research. This data is public, third-party content — accessing or displaying it does not imply any affiliation with, endorsement by, or relationship with the X users whose posts are shown.
- Public X posts and associated metadata, including engagement counts, timestamps, and detected language
- Public profile data, including handle, display name, avatar, follower count, and verified status
- Data is fetched only for profiles or searches that you initiate within the product
- Displayed alongside stocks in the product to provide additional research context
- Transmitted to our AI providers (OpenAI and Anthropic) for sentiment analysis and summarization when you request AI-powered insights
- We do not use X data to train machine learning models.
- Short-term caching only — approximately 15 minutes for timelines and up to 24 hours for search results
- If content is deleted, protected, or removed on X, we remove it from our cache within 24 hours
- We do not access direct messages or any private or protected content
- We do not resell or redistribute X data
- We do not use X data for ad targeting or sensitive profiling
- We do not use X data to train machine learning models
All X data displayed in Aero is sourced from X Corp through the X API and remains subject to X's own terms and privacy practices. For more information, see the X Terms of Service and the X Privacy Policy.
Cookies and analytics
We use cookies and similar tracking technologies to keep you authenticated, understand how the product is used, and improve performance. We may use Google Analytics or similar tools to collect aggregated usage statistics.
We do not use cookies or tracking technologies for advertising, ad retargeting, or cross-site behavioral tracking. You can configure your browser to block or delete cookies, though doing so may affect your ability to use certain features of Aero.
How we share data
We share data only with trusted service providers that help us operate Aero. These providers are contractually required to use your data only as necessary to provide their services to us:
- AWS — cloud infrastructure and data storage
- Plaid — secure financial data access
- OpenAI and Anthropic — AI insight generation
- Google — authentication and analytics
- X Corp — third-party data source for public X posts and profile metadata, accessed via the X API
- Financial data providers — market data display, subject to their respective licensing terms
We do not sell, rent, or share your personal data with third parties for their own marketing, advertising, or commercial purposes. We may disclose data if required to do so by law or in response to a valid legal process.
Data storage
All personal data collected by Aero is stored securely in the United States on AWS infrastructure. We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect your data from unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction.
Data retention
We retain your personal data for as long as your account is active and as long as necessary to provide you with the services. When you delete your account, we process the deletion promptly and remove your personal data from our systems. Some data may be retained for a limited period to comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, or enforce our agreements.

Children's privacy
Aero is not directed at or intended for use by individuals under the age of 18. We do not knowingly collect personal data from users under 18.

We implement industry-standard security practices to protect your data, including:
- Encryption in transit using TLS and encryption at rest
- Secure, token-based API authentication
- Strict internal access controls and role-based permissions
- Hosting on AWS with enterprise-grade infrastructure and monitoring
No method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is completely secure. While we use commercially reasonable measures to protect your data, we cannot guarantee absolute security. If you discover a potential security issue, please notify us immediately at [email protected].
Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we make changes, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. For material changes, we will provide notice through the platform or by email. Your continued use of Aero after any changes constitutes your acceptance of the updated policy.
