2. How We Use Your Information
We use your information for the following purposes:
- To Provide and Improve Our Services: We use your information to provide you with the Services, including AI chat functionality, prompt library, file processing, and other features. We also use your data to personalize your experience and develop new features.
- To Process AI Interactions: Your chat messages and content may be processed by third-party AI providers (including Google Vertex AI, OpenAI, Anthropic, Groq, xAI, and Mistral) to generate responses, depending on which AI model you select. Additionally, we host private AI models on our own infrastructure where your data never leaves our servers. We do not share your conversations with any third parties for training purposes, marketing, or any other use beyond generating your requested AI responses. We only work with AI providers that respect user privacy and do not use your data for model training without explicit opt-in.
- To Enable Sharing and Collaboration: When you share chat conversations, prompts, or projects, we use your sharing preferences to control access and enable collaboration with invited users.
- To Communicate with You: We use your information to communicate with you about your account, the Services, important updates, and respond to your inquiries.
- To Process Payments: We use your payment information, collected through Stripe, to process payments for Services you purchase and manage subscriptions.
- To Protect Our Services and Users: We use your information to detect and prevent fraud, unauthorized access, abuse, and other harmful activities.
- To Analyze and Improve Our Services: We use analytics data to understand how users interact with the Site and Services and to improve our offerings. We only use privacy-respecting analytics tools that do not track individual users across the web.
- To Conduct Marketing and Advertising: We may use your information to send you marketing and advertising communications that we believe are relevant to you. You can opt out of these communications at any time.
- To Manage Affiliate Program: If you participate in our affiliate program, we use your information to track referrals and process commission payments.
3. Sharing Your Information
Privacy First Approach: We do not sell, rent, or share your personal information with third parties for their marketing purposes. We only share your information in the limited circumstances described below, and only with providers that respect user privacy.
- Public Content: When you create public prompts in our Prompt Library or mark chat conversations as public, your display name and the content you create will be visible to all users of the platform. Please do not use your email address as your display name to protect your privacy.
- Shared Conversations and Projects: When you share chat conversations, projects, or discussions with specific users:
- You can invite users via email to view or collaborate on your content
- Invited users with "view" permission can read shared content
- Invited users with "collaborate" permission can add messages and make changes
- You can revoke access at any time through sharing settings
- Shared content remains private to invited users unless marked as public
- AI Service Providers: Depending on which AI model you select, your chat messages may be processed by third-party AI providers to generate responses:
- Self-Hosted Models: We host private AI models on our own infrastructure. When you use these models, your data never leaves our servers and is not shared with any third parties.
- Privacy-Respecting Third-Party Providers: For certain AI models, we use carefully selected third-party providers (including Google Vertex AI, OpenAI, Anthropic, Groq, xAI, Mistral, Together AI, Lambda Labs, and others) that do not collect, store, or use your data for any purpose beyond generating your requested AI responses.
