RetailIntel handles intelligence that would embarrass a CEO if leaked. That shapes every engineering choice. This page lists the controls we operate, the ones we’re building toward audit on, and the subprocessors your data touches. Nothing is hidden behind NDA.

Methodology summary
Every signal on RetailIntel is produced by a multi-agent editorial council that crawls public sources, deduplicates, scores for novelty, and writes a headline / deck / forecast / counter-view under editorial constraints. The full pipeline — crawl cadence, scoring rubric, counter-view requirement, supersede policy — is documented at /methodology.
Sources we read
Every publisher we currently track, with the number of signals RetailIntel has filed from that source. Each source name links to the source hub so a reviewer can audit what we've published from it.
Correction policy
If a signal is wrong, email contact / retailintel . in — we’ll investigate within 48 hours and, if confirmed, publish a correction with the updated date visible above the fold. Superseded signals stay in the archive with a visible superseded marker so citations can be audited.
Security contact
Responsible disclosure, audit questionnaires, DPA requests, and any procurement-gated security question — email contact / retailintel . in. Response within one business day.
