InkBot ("we," "us," or "our") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you use our AI-powered content generation service. Please read this policy carefully. By using InkBot, you consent to the data practices described in this policy.

2. Information We Collect

2.1 Information You Provide

When you register for an account, we collect your email address, name (optional), and a password (stored in hashed form). When you purchase credits, payment information is collected and processed directly by our payment processor (Stripe). We do not store your full credit card number, CVV, or other sensitive payment details on our servers.

2.2 Content You Generate

We store the inputs you provide for content generation (such as topic, keywords, and tone preferences) and the AI-generated output. This data is stored in your account so you can access your generation history. You may delete individual generations at any time.

2.3 Automatically Collected Information

When you access the Service, we may automatically collect certain information including your IP address, browser type and version, operating system, referring URLs, and pages visited. This information is used for analytics and to improve the Service.

We use the information we collect to: provide, maintain, and improve the Service; process your transactions and manage your account; generate content based on your inputs using AI technology; send you transactional emails (account verification, password resets, payment confirmations); respond to your inquiries and provide customer support; detect, prevent, and address technical issues and security threats; comply with legal obligations. We do not sell your personal information to third parties.

4. AI Processing

When you use the content generation features, your input data is sent to Anthropic's Claude API for processing. Anthropic processes this data in accordance with their own privacy policy and data processing terms. We encourage you to review Anthropic's privacy policy.
