Data Sharing and Third Parties

We do not sell your personal data to third parties. Your privacy and the integrity of your creative work are paramount to us.

We may share your information in the following limited circumstances:

  • With service providers who help us operate our business and deliver services to you (such as cloud hosting providers, payment processors, and customer support tools)
  • When required by law, such as in response to a valid legal request
  • To protect our rights, privacy, safety, or property
  • In connection with a business transfer, such as a merger or acquisition

All third-party service providers we work with are bound by contractual obligations to keep your personal information confidential and secure.

Manuscript Protection

We understand that your manuscript represents significant creative effort and intellectual property. We are committed to protecting your work:
  • Your manuscript is processed solely to provide you with feedback and is not used to train our AI models
  • We implement strict access controls to ensure only authorized personnel can access your data when necessary for service provision
  • Your manuscript data is encrypted both in transit and at rest
  • We retain your manuscript data only for as long as necessary to provide our services to you

All of the training of our model is being done with writers and editors who have consented to use their work and their expertise to build the model; we do not train on submissions from anyone who is getting a developmental edit of their work, whether as a beta tester or client. Your work will not be stored for future use nor will it ever be shared with anyone.
