How It Works

From signal to action
in 38 milliseconds

01

Connect your data sources

ARM integrates with 140+ enterprise tools in minutes — cloud platforms, HR systems, finance tools, project management, and infrastructure monitoring.

02

Signal normalization & enrichment

Incoming signals are normalized, deduped, and enriched with ARM's market context data — creating a unified resource intelligence stream in real time.

03

RL model evaluation & decision

The allocation engine evaluates billions of possible resource states per second, identifies the optimal allocation, and generates an action or recommendation in under 38ms.

04

Execution & feedback loop

Approved actions execute automatically within your defined guardrails. Every outcome feeds back into the model — the system gets smarter with every decision it makes.

05

Audit, explain, and report

Every decision is logged with full explainability — why the action was taken, what alternatives were considered, and what the measured outcome was.

Privacy PolicyEffective May 1, 2026

Your data.
Our responsibility.

Last updated: May 1, 2026 · Replaces all prior versions
The short version:

Autonomous Resource Management, Inc. ("ARM", "we", "our") collects only the data we need to operate our platform and publish our research. We do not sell your personal data. We do not use it for advertising. We protect it with enterprise-grade security. This policy explains exactly what we collect, why, and what you can do about it.

Overview & Scope

This Privacy Policy applies to all products and services operated by Autonomous Resource Management, Inc., including the ARM Insights publishing platform at autonomousresourcemanagement.com, the ARM enterprise intelligence platform, and all associated APIs, dashboards, and data products.

It applies to visitors, registered users, platform customers, research subscribers, and anyone whose data we process in connection with delivering our services. It does not apply to third-party services linked from our platform — those are governed by their own policies.

ARM is headquartered at 535 Mission Street, Suite 1400, San Francisco, CA 94105, United States. For users in the European Economic Area (EEA) or United Kingdom, ARM acts as the data controller under GDPR and UK GDPR respectively.

Data We Collect

We collect data in three ways: information you provide directly, information we collect automatically when you use our services, and information we receive from third parties.

Information you provide

  • Account registration: name, work email address, company name, job title, and password when you create an account.
  • Platform onboarding: company size, industry, and intended use case to configure your ARM dashboard and tailor research recommendations.
  • Payment information: billing address and payment method, processed securely through our PCI-DSS-compliant payment processor (Stripe). We do not store full card numbers on our infrastructure.
  • Communications: messages sent via our contact forms, support tickets, demo requests, and email correspondence with ARM team members.
  • Research newsletter subscription: email address and subscription preferences.
  • Survey and feedback responses: qualitative and quantitative feedback you submit voluntarily.

Information collected automatically

  • Usage data: pages visited, features used, reports downloaded, search queries within the platform, and session duration.
  • Device and browser data: IP address, browser type and version, operating system, screen resolution, and referring URL.
  • Cookies and similar technologies: session cookies required for authentication, preference cookies, and analytics cookies (see Cookies section).
  • API usage: API endpoint calls, request volumes, response latencies, and error rates associated with your API key.

Information from third parties

  • Integration connections: when you connect third-party systems (AWS, Workday, Jira, etc.) to the ARM platform, we receive the data you explicitly authorize through those OAuth or API connections. We access only the minimum scope required to deliver the integration.
  • SSO providers: if your organization uses single sign-on (SAML or OIDC), we receive your name, email, and group membership from your identity provider.
  • Enrichment services: for enterprise sales outreach only, we may receive company-level firmographic data (industry, company size) from B2B data providers. We do not use this for profiling individuals.
