Privacy Policy & Data Handling Statement

1. Introduction

Welcome to JCIL.AI. We are committed to protecting your privacy while providing an AI-assisted chat experience aligned with Christian conservative values. This policy outlines how we collect, use, store, and delete your data.

By using our service, you acknowledge that your data is processed in accordance with this policy and our Terms of Service.

2. Information We Collect

We collect the following types of information to provide and secure our services:

• Account Information: We use Auth0 for secure authentication. We collect your email address and basic profile information necessary to create and manage your account.
• User Content: This includes the text prompts you enter, the files you upload, and the AI-generated responses (collectively, "Chat History").
• Technical Data: We utilize Vercel for hosting and Supabase for database management. These services may collect metadata such as IP addresses, browser types, and interaction logs for security and performance monitoring.

3. AI Processing & Third-Party Providers

JCIL.AI utilizes specific third-party vendors to power our Artificial Intelligence capabilities. By using our service, you consent to your data being processed by these providers:

• LLM Provider (Anthropic Claude): Our core conversational intelligence is powered by Anthropic's Claude. Your prompts are sent to Anthropic to generate responses.
• Web Search (Perplexity): For real-time web searches, queries are processed through Perplexity's API. This allows us to provide up-to-date information when needed.
• Infrastructure:
  • Auth0: Identity management and login security.
  • Supabase: Encrypted database storage for chat logs and user data.
  • Vercel: Cloud hosting and deployment.

4. Data Retention & Deletion Policy

We enforce a strict data lifecycle to balance user privacy with legal compliance.

A. Automatic Retention Schedule

6-Month Hard Limit: All chat logs, file uploads, and interaction history are permanently deleted from our servers and database (Supabase) 6 months after creation. Once deleted, this data is unrecoverable.

B. User-Initiated Deletion ("Soft Delete")

Users have the option to delete chats from their interface at any time.

If a user deletes a chat after 3 months, it is considered a "Soft Delete." This removes the chat from the user's view immediately, but the data remains in our secure backend archives until the 6-month mandatory retention period expires, at which point it is permanently purged.

5. Law Enforcement & Legal Requests

JCIL.AI complies with valid legal processes.

• Data Availability: We can only produce records that currently exist within our 6-month retention window. We cannot recover data that has passed the 6-month hard deletion mark.
• Request Process: Verified law enforcement agencies or users requesting their own data for legal purposes may submit requests through our contact form.
• Preservation: Upon receipt of a valid preservation order from law enforcement, we may pause the automatic deletion clock for specific records identified in the order.

6. Content Filtering & Values

Our AI is tuned to provide responses through a Christian conservative lens. While we utilize Anthropic Claude for intelligence and Perplexity for web search, we apply our own system instructions to ensure content aligns with our community standards.

7. Security

We implement industry-standard security measures. Your data is protected behind Auth0 authentication, and all data at rest in Supabase and in transit is encrypted. However, no method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
