Privacy Policy
Your trust is our most valuable asset. We are transparent about how we process your queries.
1. Introduction
Welcome to ai-answergenerator.com (“we,” “our,” or “us”). We provide an AI-powered search and reasoning engine designed for academic and professional use. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclosure, and safeguard your information when you visit our website and use our services.
By using our service, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy. If you do not agree with the terms of this privacy policy, please do not access the site.
2. Information We Collect
A. Information You Provide
- Search Queries: The text you input into our search bar (“Prompts”).
- Uploaded Content: Any PDF documents, images, or text files you upload for analysis via our OCR or file reading features.
- Account Data (Pro Users): Email address and encrypted payment information (processed via Stripe/PayPal) if you subscribe to our Pro tier.
B. Technical Data
We automatically collect certain information when you visit, use, or navigate the Site. This information does not reveal your specific identity (like your name or contact information) but may include device and usage information, such as:
- IP Address (anonymized after 24 hours).
- Browser and device characteristics.
- Operating system.
- Referring URLs.
3. How We Use Your Information
We use the information we collect primarily to:
- Generate accurate answers to your questions using our multi-model AI architecture.
- Verify facts by cross-referencing live web data.
- Improve the responsiveness and stability of our website.
- Detect and prevent fraudulent usage or abuse of our API limits.
We DO NOT use your specific search queries or uploaded documents to train our proprietary models. Your data remains yours. We have strict agreements with our third-party LLM providers (OpenAI, Anthropic) to ensure they do not use data submitted via our API for their model training either.
4. AI Processing & Third Parties
To provide our “Deep Reasoning” service, your anonymized queries are processed by the following third-party infrastructure providers:
- OpenAI: Used for logical reasoning and structured output.
- Anthropic (Claude): Used for long-context document analysis.
- Google/Bing Search APIs: Used for real-time fact verification.
Data sent to these providers is encrypted in transit (TLS 1.3) and is stripped of unnecessary metadata. These providers process data solely to return an answer and are contractually obligated to delete ephemeral data after processing.
5. Data Retention
We operate on a principle of data minimization:
- Free Users: Search history is stored only in your local browser storage (Local Storage). We do not maintain a server-side history of your queries once the session is closed.
- Pro Users: If you opt-in to “History Sync,” your queries are stored encrypted on our servers until you delete them. You can delete your entire history at any time with one click.
- Uploaded Files: Files are stored in a temporary cache for the duration of the analysis session (max 1 hour) and are then permanently wiped from our servers.
6. Your Data Rights (GDPR & CCPA)
Depending on your location, you may have the following rights:
- Right to Access: You can request a copy of the personal data we hold about you.
- Right to Erasure (“Right to be Forgotten”): You can ask us to delete your personal data.
- Right to Opt-Out: You can opt out of any non-essential data processing.
To exercise these rights, simply email us at [email protected]. We respond to all valid requests within 30 days.
