Privacy Policy for Summaia

Effective Date: November 9, 2025

Summaia ("we," "us," or "our") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you use our mobile app and website (summaia.com) (collectively, the "Services"). By using Summaia, you consent to these practices.

We may update this policy periodically. We'll notify you of material changes via email or in-app notice, and the updated version will be posted here with a new effective date.

1. Information We Collect

We collect information to provide and improve our AI-powered summarization services, which help users quickly condense articles, documents, videos, or other content.

Personal Information

• Account Data: If you create an account, we collect your email address, username, and password (hashed for security). Optional: Add if you collect name or profile photo.

• Payment Information: For premium features (e.g., unlimited summaries), we collect billing details via third-party processors like Stripe. We don't store full card numbers.

Usage and Content Data

• User Inputs: Text, URLs, files, or media you upload for summarization. This may include personal info if you input it (e.g., names in documents).

• Generated Outputs: Summaries we create, stored temporarily for your access.

• Technical Data: Device info (e.g., OS, browser), IP address, usage logs (e.g., features used, session duration), and analytics (e.g., via Google Analytics).

Cookies and Tracking

We use cookies and similar technologies for functionality, analytics, and ads. You can manage preferences via browser settings. If no ads, remove this.

We do not collect sensitive data (e.g., health, race) unless you voluntarily provide it in inputs.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use data to:

• Deliver core features: Process your inputs with AI models to generate summaries.

• Improve services: Analyze usage patterns to enhance accuracy and add features (e.g., multi-language support).

• Communicate: Send updates, newsletters, or support responses (you can unsubscribe).

• Security and compliance: Detect fraud, enforce terms, and meet legal obligations.

• Personalize: Recommend summary styles based on past usage (with consent).

AI processing may involve third-party models (e.g., OpenAI). Specify if you train on user data: "We do not use your inputs to train models without explicit opt-in."

3. How We Share Your Information

We do not sell your personal data. Sharing is limited to:

• Service Providers: Trusted vendors for hosting (e.g., AWS), payments, or analytics. They are bound by confidentiality.

• Legal Requirements: If required by law, subpoena, or to protect rights/safety.

• Business Transfers: In a merger/acquisition, your data may transfer to the new owner.

• With Consent: For partnerships or features you enable.

No sharing with advertisers unless anonymized aggregates.

4. Data Storage and Security

• Storage: Data is stored in the US/EU on secure servers. Specify region if relevant for GDPR.

• Retention: Inputs/summaries deleted after 30 days (or upon request); account data kept while active + 1 year post-deletion.

• Security: We use encryption (e.g., HTTPS, AES-256), access controls, and regular audits. However, no system is 100% secure—report issues to privacy@summaia.com.

5. Your Rights and Choices

Depending on your location:

• Access/Update/Delete: Request your data, corrections, or deletion via app settings or email.

• Opt-Out: Unsubscribe from emails; disable cookies.

• GDPR/CCPA Rights: For EU/CA users, additional rights like portability or objection. Submit requests to privacy@summaia.com; we'll respond within 30 days.

• Children's Privacy: Summaia is not for under 13s (or 16s in some regions). We don't knowingly collect kids' data.

6. International Data Transfers

If you're outside the US, data may transfer to our servers there. We use safeguards like Standard Contractual Clauses for adequacy.

7. Third-Party Links

Our Services may link to external sites (e.g., for URL inputs). We're not responsible for their privacy practices—review theirs.
