Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy describes how the AI Companion Project collects, uses, and protects the personal data of supporters and visitors.

AI Companion is an independent project initiated by a natural person and does not represent a company or a registered legal entity.

By using the website and by supporting the Project, you accept this Privacy Policy.

We may collect the following information: name, email address, country, chosen support tier, payment status, supporter ID, generated discount code, and any other information voluntarily provided by the supporter.

We do not intend to collect more data than is reasonably necessary for operating the Project.

Data is collected exclusively for confirming support, managing supporters, sending project updates, sending launch notifications, generating discount codes, communicating regarding project development, administering the funding campaign, and preventing abuse or fraud.

Collected data is not intended to be used for aggressive marketing or unrelated external purposes.

Data may be processed on the basis of the user's consent, the legitimate interest of operating the Project, and any legal obligations that may apply.

By supporting the Project, the user expresses consent to the processing of data in accordance with this Privacy Policy.

Data may be stored in secured systems, private databases, and services necessary for operating the Project.

Access to data is limited to the individual operating the Project and to technical services strictly required for the operation of the Project.

Data may be retained for the duration of the Project, until the end of the campaign, until supporter benefits are managed or delivered, or until the data is no longer necessary for Project operations.

Data may be retained for a longer period where necessary for legal compliance, financial records, fraud prevention, or protection of the Project's rights.

Data is not sold.

Data may be shared only with payment processors, email service providers, hosting providers, and other services strictly necessary for the technical operation of the Project.

Such providers are expected to process data only for operational purposes connected to the Project.

Some services used by the Project may store or process data outside the European Union.

Where this happens, the intention is to use service providers that offer appropriate protections under applicable law.

Users may have the right to request access to their data, request correction of their data, request deletion of their data, request restriction of processing, request data portability, and withdraw consent where consent is the basis of processing.

Withdrawal of consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before that withdrawal.

Users may request deletion of their data.

In some cases, data may still need to be retained where necessary for legal obligations, financial recordkeeping, fraud prevention, or the defense of the Project's rights.

Reasonable measures are intended to be taken to protect data, including limited access, secure storage, protection against unauthorized access, and the use of trusted service providers.

However, absolute security of data cannot be guaranteed.

The website may use minimal cookies or similar technologies for site functionality, analytics, and payment processing.

Aggressive profiling is not intended to be used.

AI Companion is a concept-stage project.

This Privacy Policy reflects the current data collection structure and may be updated as the Project evolves, as payment systems are connected, or as operational needs change.

This Privacy Policy may be modified at any time.

The updated version may be published on this page and will replace previous versions.

Collected data is intended to be used exclusively for operating the AI Companion Project, managing supporters, and communicating regarding the development of the product.

Data is not sold and is intended to be collected only to the extent reasonably necessary for the functioning of the Project.
