1. INFORMATION WE COLLECT
We may collect information about you in a variety of ways. The information we may collect on the Service includes:

1.1. Personal Data You Provide to Us
    - Account Information: When you register for an account, we collect your email address and a hashed version of your password. If you register using a third-party service like Google, we will collect information that you authorize the service to provide to us, such as your name, email address, and Google ID.
    - User Content: We collect the information you provide when you use the Service, including text prompts, questions, uploaded files (such as images, documents, PDFs), chat history, and any custom instructions you provide. Uploaded files are processed to provide the Service and are stored temporarily before being deleted.
    - Payment Information: When you subscribe to a paid plan, your payment is processed by a third-party payment processor (Gumroad). We do not collect or store your full payment card information. We may receive information related to your purchase, such as a license key and transaction confirmation, to validate and manage your subscription.
    - Optional Information: If you choose to use certain features, we may collect additional information. For example, if you provide a Discord Webhook URL, we will store it to send you notifications. If you use the "Life Streaks" feature, we collect your self-reported check-in data.

4. DATA SECURITY
We use a variety of administrative, technical, and physical security measures to help protect your personal information. For example, we use HTTPS to encrypt data in transit and hash user passwords. While we have taken reasonable steps to secure the personal information you provide to us, please be aware that despite our efforts, no security measures are perfect or impenetrable, and no method of data transmission can be guaranteed against any interception or other type of misuse.
