Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy describes how your personal data is processed when you use InkAi ("Services"), an AI-powered platform designed to assist with creative writing, content generation, and interactive storytelling. This policy applies to activities by InkAi Inc. ("we", "us", or "InkAi"). By accessing or using our Services, you agree to the practices outlined herein.

1. Personal Data We Collect

We collect only the data necessary to provide and improve our Services, adhering to the principle of data minimization.

Personal Data You Provide Voluntarily:

Account Information (if applicable): If you create an account, we may collect your username, email address, and password (encrypted) to manage your account and communicate important updates. We do not collect phone numbers, date of birth, or payment information unless you opt for premium features (in which case details are processed by third-party payment processors).

User Content: When you interact with our AI—such as inputting prompts, stories, or feedback—we collect this content to generate responses, refine our AI models, and enhance your experience.

• Third-Party Login: If you log in via third-party accounts (e.g., Google), we collect only your name and email address from these platforms, solely for authentication purposes.

Data Collected Automatically (for Service Functionality):

• Log Data: Limited information such as your IP address (to detect unusual activity and ensure security), browser type, and timestamps of your interactions—only to maintain service stability.
• Error Data: If the Service crashes or errors occur, we may collect basic details about the issue (e.g., feature used, time of error) to troubleshoot, without capturing personal content.

2. How We Use Your Personal Data

We use your data exclusively for the following purposes:

• To deliver and maintain the Services (e.g., generating AI responses based on your prompts).
• To improve our AI models and Service quality (e.g., analyzing anonymized user interactions to refine accuracy).
• To protect security (e.g., detecting unauthorized access to accounts).
• To communicate with you (e.g., account updates or service-related notices), if you've provided contact information.

3. Cookies & Similar Technologies

We use essential cookies to enable basic functionality (e.g., remembering your login status if you choose to stay logged in). These cookies do not track browsing activity outside our Services. You can disable non-essential cookies via your browser settings, though this may limit some features.

4. How We Disclose Your Data

We do not sell, rent, or share your personal data for marketing purposes. Data may be disclosed only in the following cases:

-Trusted Service Providers: We share data with third parties that assist in operating our Services (e.g., cloud hosting providers, AI model collaborators), who are contractually required to protect your data and use it solely as instructed.

- Legal Obligations: We may disclose data if required by law (e.g., responding to a valid court order) or to protect our rights, safety, or the public.

5. Your Rights

You have the following rights regarding your data, subject to applicable laws:

-Access & Portability: Request a copy of your personal data (e.g., account details, your prompts). - Correction: Ask to update inaccurate data (e.g., a misspelled username).

- Deletion: Request removal of your data, except when retention is necessary for legal or service purposes.

- Withdraw Consent: If you provided consent for specific data uses (e.g., third-party login), you may withdraw it by contacting us.

To exercise these rights, email us at Admin@inkiai.com. We will verify your identity and respond within 30 days.

6. Data Retention

We retain your data only as long as needed to provide the Services. For example:

- Account data is kept until you delete your account.

- User content (e.g., prompts) is retained temporarily to generate AI responses and improve models, then anonymized or deleted within 90 days of your last interaction, unless you request earlier deletion.

7. International Data Transfers

- Your data may be transferred to servers in the U.S. or EU to host our Services. We ensure these transfers comply with global privacy standards (e.g., GDPR safeguards for EEA users).

8. Third-Party Links

- Our Services may include links to third-party websites (e.g., writing resources). These sites have their own privacy policies, and we are not responsible for their practices.

9. Children

- Our Services are not intended for users under 13. If we learn we’ve collected data from a child under 13, we will delete it immediately. Contact us at Admin@inkiai.com to report such cases.

10. Changes to This Policy

- We may update this policy periodically. Changes will be posted here with a new "Last updated" date. Your continued use of the Services after changes take effect constitutes acceptance.
