Please read this privacy policy carefully. If you do not agree with the terms of this privacy policy, please do not access the Service.

1. Information We Collect

We may collect information about you in a variety of ways. The information we may collect via the Service includes:

  • Personal Data: Personally identifiable information, such as your name and email address, that you voluntarily give to us when you register with the Service or when you choose to participate in various activities related to the Service. You are under no obligation to provide us with personal information of any kind, however your refusal to do so may prevent you from using certain features of the Service.
  • Derivative Data: Information our servers automatically collect when you access the Service, such as your IP address, your browser type, your operating system, your access times, and the pages you have viewed directly before and after accessing the Service.
  • User Content: Information you create or import into the Service, including notes, highlights, flashcards, dictionary terms, and any text. This includes content imported from third-party services if you choose to connect them.
  • AI Interaction Data: When you use AI-powered features (like flashcard generation or quizzes), we may collect the input text you provide and the output generated by the AI. This data is used to provide the feature and may be used to improve our AI models, subject to anonymization where feasible.
  • Financial Data: All financial information is stored by our payment processor, Stripe, and you are encouraged to review their privacy policy and contact them directly for responses to your questions.
  • Data From Third-Party Services: If you connect conclud.io to third-party services, we will collect information necessary to facilitate that connection and import your content as requested. This may include authentication tokens and the content itself. Our use of this data is governed by this Privacy Policy.

  • Create and manage your account.
  • Process your payments and refunds.

3. Disclosure of Your Information

We may share information we have collected about you in certain situations. Your information may be disclosed as follows:

  • By Law or to Protect Rights: If we believe the release of information about you is necessary to respond to legal process, to investigate or remedy potential violations of our policies, or to protect the rights, property, and safety of others, we may share your information as permitted or required by any applicable law, rule, or regulation.
  • Third-Party Service Providers: We may share your information with third parties that perform services for us or on our behalf, including payment processing, data analysis, email delivery, hosting services, customer service, and marketing assistance. Our AI features may be powered by third-party providers (e.g., OpenAI). Input data may be shared with these providers solely for the purpose of generating the requested output and potentially for model improvement, subject to their respective privacy policies and terms.
  • Marketing Communications: With your consent, or with an opportunity for you to withdraw consent, we may share your information with third parties for marketing purposes, as permitted by law.
  • Shared Content: If you choose to share your sources or content publicly or privately with other users, the designated recipients will be able to access that content.
  • Online Postings: When you post comments, contributions or other content to the Service, your posts may be viewed by all users and may be publicly distributed outside the Service in perpetuity.
  • Sale or Bankruptcy: If we reorganize or sell all or a portion of our assets, undergo a merger, or are acquired by another entity, we may transfer your information to the successor entity. If we go out of business or enter bankruptcy, your information would be an asset transferred or acquired by a third party. You acknowledge that such transfers may occur and that the transferee may decline honor commitments we made in this Privacy Policy.

We are not responsible for the actions of third parties with whom you share personal or sensitive data, and we have no authority to manage or control third-party solicitations. If you no longer wish to receive correspondence, emails or other communications from third parties, you are responsible for contacting the third party directly.

4. Tracking Technologies

  • Cookies and Web Beacons: We may use cookies, web beacons, tracking pixels, and other tracking technologies on the Service to help customize the Service and improve your experience. When you access the Service, your personal information is not collected through the use of tracking technology. Most browsers are set to accept cookies by default. You can remove or reject cookies, but be aware that such action could affect the availability and functionality of the Service. You may not decline web beacons. However, they can be rendered ineffective by declining all cookies or by modifying your browser’s settings to notify you each time a cookie is tendered, permitting you to accept or decline cookies on an individual basis.
  • Website Analytics: We may also partner with selected third-party vendors, such as Google Analytics to allow tracking technologies and remarketing services on the Service through the use of first party cookies and third-party cookies, to, among other things, analyze and track users’ use of the Service, determine the popularity of certain content and better understand online activity. By accessing the Service, you consent to the collection and use of your information by these third-party vendors. You are encouraged to review their privacy policy and contact them directly for responses to your questions. We do not transfer personal information to these third-party vendors. However, if you do not want any information to be collected and used by tracking technologies, you can visit the third-party vendor or the Network Advertising Initiative Opt-Out Tool or Digital Advertising Alliance Opt-Out Tool.

5. Data Security

We use administrative, technical, and physical security measures to help protect your personal information. While we have taken reasonable steps to secure the personal information you provide to us, please be aware that despite our efforts, no security measures are perfect or impenetrable, and no method of data transmission can be guaranteed against any interception or other type of misuse. Any information disclosed online is vulnerable to interception and misuse by unauthorized parties. Therefore, we cannot guarantee complete security if you provide personal information.

6. Data Retention

We will retain your personal information and User Content for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide you the Service, comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements. You can delete your account and associated data through your account settings. Certain anonymized or aggregated data may be retained indefinitely for analytical purposes.

7. Controls for Do-Not-Track Features

Most web browsers and some mobile operating systems include a Do-Not-Track (“DNT”) feature or setting you can activate to signal your privacy preference not to have data about your online browsing activities monitored and collected. No uniform technology standard for recognizing and implementing DNT signals has been finalized. As such, we do not currently respond to DNT browser signals or any other mechanism that automatically communicates your choice not to be tracked online. If a standard for online tracking is adopted that we must follow in the future, we will inform you about that practice in a revised version of this Privacy Policy.

8. Your Data Protection Rights (GDPR/CCPA/etc.)

Depending on your location, you may have certain rights regarding your personal information, including:

  • The right to access – You have the right to request copies of your personal data.
  • The right to rectification – You have the right to request that we correct any information you believe is inaccurate or complete information you believe is incomplete.
  • The right to erasure – You have the right to request that we erase your personal data, under certain conditions.
