Privacy

This page describes how Adventist Intelligence handles information during the private beta. It is intentionally short and plainspoken; a fuller, lawyer-reviewed policy will replace it before public launch.

What we collect

When you use the chat we store your conversations (questions and answers, with timestamps), your chat threads (so your sidebar history follows you across devices), your Firebase user identifier (so we know which conversations are yours when you ask us to delete them), the email address on your sign-in, and any citation reports you submit. When you submit the "notify me" form on the landing page we store your email address and the audience tag you selected, plus a daily-rotating hash of your IP address used only to cluster duplicate same-day submissions.

Where it lives

Everything is stored on Google Cloud, in a single project administered by the team building this. Authentication is handled by Firebase Authentication. Conversations and reports are persisted in Cloud SQL (PostgreSQL) in the us-east1 region. The corpus the assistant draws from is loaded into the same database. No data leaves Google Cloud.

What we don't do

We do not sell your data. We do not send your conversations to third-party model-training pipelines. The Vertex AI inference calls used to compose answers are configured with explicit no-retention. The "notify me" emails are used only to email you when public access opens; we are not building a newsletter.

How long we keep your conversations

Conversations are kept for 90 days from the date they were created, then automatically deleted by an overnight cleanup job. This applies to every chat exchange — yours and everyone else's. There is no manual carve-out for "important" conversations; if you want to preserve a specific exchange, copy the answer into your own notes before the 90-day window passes.

Citation reports you submit, "notify me" sign-ups, and the audit log of API requests are retained on different schedules because they aren't conversational content. Cloud Run access logs and traces are retained 30 days by Google's default platform policies.

Your rights — deletion, access, correction

You can delete any individual conversation from inside the chat sidebar at any time.

To delete every piece of data we hold about you (conversations, chat threads, citation reports, and any "notify me" sign-up tied to your email), the chat exposes a right-of-erasure endpoint at DELETE /api/v1/me/data. Calling it from a signed-in session permanently wipes every row tied to your Firebase user identifier and returns a receipt with the row counts deleted from each table. The action is immediate and cannot be undone.

You can also request a copy of your data (GDPR Article 20 portability) at GET /api/v1/account/export; the endpoint returns an NDJSON stream of every chat + message you own, suitable for archive.

If you'd rather submit the request by email — for example, because you can no longer sign in — write to dev@adventistintelligence.com from the address you signed in with. We respond to deletion requests within 30 days, in line with EU GDPR Article 17.

If you want a copy of the data we hold about you, or to correct something inaccurate, email the same address. We respond to access and correction requests within 30 days.
