Intronomy

For compliance teams

How Intronomy handles personal data.

A short note for a broker's compliance or data protection team: what the tool reads, what it stores, for how long, and how a person's data is deleted when they ask.

Last updated 27 October 2026

What the tool is

Intronomy helps a broker's partnerships team find trading creators and introducing brokers who publish about trading, and keep track of the conversations with them. The people in it are creators who run public channels, pages and websites about trading. It also watches competing brokers' public company information.

What it reads

  • Public pages and official APIs only. YouTube through its official Data API; Instagram business and creator accounts through Meta's official Graph API; Telegram channels through their public web preview; public websites and link pages; X and TikTok only from search-engine results (Brave Search), never their own pages.
  • It never signs in to any platform, never gets past a login wall or a paywall, and reads nothing private.
  • It reads politely: at most one request a second to any site, under its own name, IntronomyBot. How IntronomyBot reads the web.

What it stores

  • The public profile: handle, name, bio, follower counts, recent public posts and how they performed, the links the person publishes, and contact details they chose to make public (an email, a WhatsApp number, a Telegram username).
  • What the tool works out from it: a score and its reasons, the likely country and language, the brokers whose referral links or codes the person publishes, and a dated history of their follower counts and those brokers, one line for each time a public page was read.
  • The team's own work: the stage of the conversation, notes, messages a team member sent, offers and agreed terms.

It holds no private data, no bought or scraped email lists, and nothing from a source that needs a login.

Where it is kept, and who sees it

  • In a private database on Cloudflare, reached only through the tool's sign-in. Nothing is published.
  • Team members who only work leads (business developers and their team leaders) see the leads given to them and their team, never the rest of the tool.
  • Outside services see only what they need: YouTube's API, Meta's API and Brave Search receive the search words and the names being looked up; Anthropic's AI service receives the public text of a profile to summarise it, and what is needed to help a team member draft a message.
  • A person sends every message. The tool drafts; a team member reads it and clicks Send from their own account. There is no bot that messages people and no bulk sending, at most two follow-ups, and none after a reply.

For how long

  • People the team marks Lost (they said no) or Skipped are deleted by the tool itself once they have been so for a set time: 12 months unless the broker chooses another period. Someone a team member has worked since, has a deal with, or has a follow-up due with is kept. Someone who said no stays on the do-not-read list below, so they are not contacted again.
  • Other creators are kept as prospects until a person removes them or they ask to be deleted.
  • Accounts read and found not to fit (off-topic, or too small) are not kept. Only a note of the handle (and, for one too weak to keep, its score) stays, for 30 to 90 days, so it isn't read again too soon.
  • Backups: a full copy of the database is kept on the operator's own computer each week, never in a shared drive or a code repository. The newest 12 copies are kept (about three months), so a deleted person leaves the backups within that time. If a copy is ever brought back, the daily check deletes again anyone on the do-not-read list.
  • The tool's own logs: sign-ins and time in the team's CRM, 12 months; alerts about errors, which can name the account being read at the time, 7 days.

Deletion on request

  1. A person writes to hello@intronomy.com (or the broker's own privacy contact) with the address of their page or account.
  2. The tool's owner opens them in the tool and types their creator number to confirm.
  3. Everything held about them is deleted at once: their profile and every account, every dated read, notes, messages, the CRM's history, offers and deals, and the copies kept to make lists fast.
  4. Their handles and website go on a do-not-read list. Every search and every background job checks it before reading a page and before saving an account, so they are never read or kept again.
  5. A log keeps the date, who did it, the creator's number and the handles put on the list. It keeps none of their profile.

An account or website can also be put on the do-not-read list before the tool has ever found it.
