> what we collect

• email address — only if you choose to sign in. used to send a one-time login code and for conversation persistence. never shared or sold.
• conversation history — your questions and our answers, stored so you can return to past threads. deleted when you delete your account.
• anonymous usage data — query text, response quality scores, and timing for improving answer accuracy. no personally identifiable information is attached to anonymous queries.
• feedback — thumbs up/down ratings you give on responses. used to measure and improve quality.
• engagement events — anonymous counts of which source citations, academy links, and follow-up questions get clicked. used to measure answer usefulness. no ip address or personal identifier is stored alongside these events.
• shared answers — when you share an answer, the question and response are published at a public URL. shared pages are indexable by search engines. visiting a shared answer logs an anonymous page view (no ip address stored). you can revoke a shared answer at any time, which immediately removes it from public access.

> what we won't do

• never sell or share your data with third parties

> cookies

Ask K currently uses authentication cookies when you sign in, required for the login functionality you requested. anonymous users have no cookies set.

We may add analytics or marketing cookies in the future. If we do, this policy will be updated before those cookies are set.

> where your data lives

data is stored in Supabase (postgres) hosted in the US. conversations are retained until you delete them or delete your account.

> your rights

• delete your account — permanently removes your email, all conversations, and all messages. this is a hard delete with no recovery.
• use without signing in — Ask K is fully functional without an account. signing in is optional and only adds conversation persistence.
• revoke a share— any answer you've shared can be un-shared from the chat interface. revoking removes the public page immediately.
• contact — for questions about your data, email privacy@retencity.com
