Privacy Policy

Effective Date: [18th April 2025]

This Privacy Policy explains how Author AI ("we", "us", or "our") collects, uses, discloses, and protects your personal information when you visit our website (www.helloauthor.ai) or use our application and services.

Overview:

1. User Ownership of Generated Content

All content generated through Author AI is 100% owned by you, the user. This includes but is not limited to:

  • AI-generated text

  • Outlines, drafts, and story elements

  • Any intellectual property created with our tools

We do not claim any rights to your creations, and we will never use your content for training, marketing, or any other purpose without your explicit, written consent.

2. No Data Retention

We are committed to a zero-retention approach to user data. Specifically:

  • No storage of user input: We do not save any prompts, documents, or uploads you share with the system.

  • No storage of outputs: AI-generated results are processed in-memory and are not stored on our servers after your session ends.

  • No tracking: We do not use cookies, trackers, or analytics tools that monitor your behavior within the application.

  • No profiling: We do not build user profiles, and we do not share, sell, or lease your data to third parties.

3. Security by Design

Even though we do not store your data, Author AI is built with industry-standard security measures to protect your sessions during active use, including:

  • End-to-end encryption during data transmission

  • Secure session handling to prevent unauthorized access

4. Your Rights

Because we do not collect or store any personal or creative data, your rights are built into our system:

  • There is nothing to delete, export, or correct—you are always in control.
