The Altara Transparency Manifesto

See exactly what our AI sees — and says — about you.

Most AI vendors will tell you their models are "safe", "aligned" or "responsible". We don't ask you to take our word for it. Every interaction with NAVI is auditable, every output is subject to human review, and any user can download the exact prompt + response + consent record we hold about them — in one click. No tickets. No subject-access wait. No black box.

Industry first

The Data-Rights Bundle.

A single downloadable file with eight sections — the full NAVI disclosure, your submitted answers (each enriched with the question text and pillar), the deterministic scoring, NAVI's analysis output, every consent you provided with timestamp + IP hash, and an enumerated list of your rights under GDPR Art. 15/16/17 and POPIA s.23/24.

Ask any AI vendor in this space to do the same. Most can't.

  • NAVI disclosure
  • Your subject record
  • Consent state + timestamps
  • All 35 answers with question text
  • Deterministic scoring
  • NAVI's full analysis
  • Prompt + scoring version
  • Rights & contact

The Honest Comparison

Altara vs. typical SaaS AI.

We ran this comparison against the public privacy policies, trust centres and DPAs of nine widely-used B2B SaaS AI tools (data-on-file, last updated Q1 2026). Most of what's marketed as "AI transparency" is, on inspection, a deletion request form and an arbitration clause.

"Typical SaaS AI" reflects a composite of nine widely-deployed B2B AI products (governance, support, sales-intelligence and copilot categories). Specific vendors deliberately not named — this is a category comparison, not a hit-piece. Methodology available on request: hello@altaracore.ai.

The opposite of an AI black box is not an explainability dashboard. It is a downloadable file — owned by the person the AI just made a judgement about.

Governance Controls

Six controls that keep NAVI accountable.

We don't claim AI safety — we operate it. These are the controls that ship in every Altara deployment.

Auditability

Every NAVI prompt and response is versioned and logged with a timestamp, the actor, the model version and the prompt template used.

Role-based access

Master-token gated admin in MVP; multi-tenant Cognito JWT planned. Every privileged action records the actor and source IP hash.

Oversight workflows

DPIA, FRIA, Vendor DD and Risk Assessments require human sign-off. NAVI drafts — humans approve.

Monitoring

Continuous drift, behavioural-risk and compliance signals raise alerts to a named human owner — not auto-decisions.

Evidence retention

Submissions, scoring, narratives and consent records are retained for audit. Erasure on request supported under POPIA/GDPR.

Privacy by default

Free-email providers blocked at the lead-gen gate. IPs are SHA-256 hashed. PII is minimised in NAVI prompts.

Your data rights

GDPR · POPIA — actionable, not aspirational.

GDPR Art. 15 · POPIA s.23
Right of access

Use the Data-Rights Bundle inside the Maturity flow — one-click JSON export of everything NAVI received and produced about you.

GDPR Art. 16 · POPIA s.24
Right to rectification

Email hello@altaracore.ai to correct any field. We action within 5 business days.

GDPR Art. 17 · POPIA s.24
Right to erasure

Email hello@altaracore.ai with the subject 'Erase my Altara record'. Confirmation issued within 5 business days.

GDPR Art. 21 · POPIA s.11(3)
Object to direct marketing

Opt out from any Altara email or write to hello@altaracore.ai. Marketing consent is captured separately from service consent.

Help raise the floor

If AI is going to be regulated, it should also be downloadable.

Share this page with your CRO, your DPO, your risk committee, or anyone in your network buying an AI product this quarter. Ask them: "Can I get my Data-Rights Bundle?" Five vendors out of ten will go quiet. Two will send a PDF. One will send a link. That's the bar we're raising.
