Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy explains how Illuminatai, LLC ("IlluminatAI", "we", "us", or "our") collects, uses, discloses, and protects information when you use the IlluminatAI website and application (the "Service"). This policy is designed to comply with applicable U.S. privacy laws, including the California Consumer Privacy Act as amended by the CPRA ("CCPA"/"CPRA"), and similar U.S. state privacy laws (e.g., in VA, CO, CT, UT). We do not currently claim compliance with the EU/UK GDPR. If we extend services to EU/UK residents, we will update this policy and our practices accordingly.
Who We Are
Data Controller: Illuminatai, LLC
Registered Office: 131 Continental Dr, Suite 305, Newark, DE 19713, New Castle County, USA
Notice at Collection (Categories & Purposes)
We collect the following categories of personal information for the purposes listed below:
- Identifiers (e.g., email address, account ID): create and maintain your account; secure authentication; provide Service features; communicate with you.
- Customer records (basic profile details you provide, e.g., name, company profile fields): personalise your experience and board simulations.
- Content you provide (chat prompts, conversation content, uploaded documents, extracted text, summaries): operate the Service (chat history, simulations, document summarisation) and at your request send content to AI providers to generate outputs.
- Commercial information (credit purchases and related metadata): process payments and provide credit balances.
- Internet/technical information (IP address, user agent, security signals, CAPTCHA results): secure the Service, rate limiting, fraud/abuse prevention, logging.
- Inferences (none generated for advertising; limited operational inferences like session unread status only).
We do not collect sensitive personal information as defined by the CPRA (e.g., precise geolocation, biometric identifiers) for the purpose of inferring characteristics. We do not profile users for targeted advertising.
How We Use Information
- Provide core features (authentication, chat history, roundtable simulations, document handling, summarisation on request).
- Process payments and credits via Stripe.
- Prevent fraud/abuse and ensure Service integrity (rate limiting, CAPTCHA, audit logs).
- Communicate transactional messages (e.g., access codes, receipts).
- Comply with legal obligations and enforce terms.
Disclosures to Service Providers/Processors
We disclose personal information to service providers who process it on our behalf for the following purposes:
- Supabase (auth, database, storage): account data, chat content, documents, and session metadata.
- OpenAI (AI responses and summarisation): prompts, conversation context, and extracted document text you submit for AI output.
- Stripe (payments): checkout session data and metadata (e.g., user ID, email, credit amount). Card data is handled by Stripe.
- Resend (email delivery): recipient email and message content for transactional emails.
- Upstash (rate limiting): identifiers for rate-limiting windows (e.g., IP or user ID).
- hCaptcha (bot protection): CAPTCHA token validation.
- Tavily (optional web search): if enabled by query classification, search queries and results may be processed to enhance answers.
No Sale or Sharing for Cross-Context Behavioral Advertising: We do not "sell" personal information or "share" it for cross-context behavioral advertising as defined under U.S. state privacy laws.
Cookies
We use strictly necessary, first-party cookies for authentication and session continuity (Supabase auth tokens). We do not use analytics or advertising cookies. See our Cookie Policy for details.
Data Retention
We retain personal information for as long as needed to provide the Service, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce agreements. Chat history and uploaded documents are retained to provide your in-product history and features and are deleted when you delete your account. We may retain limited security logs for a reasonable period for fraud and abuse prevention.
Security
We implement reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards appropriate to the nature of the data, including HTTP-only cookies, encryption in transit, content security policy (CSP), HSTS, CSRF protection, rate limiting, audit logging, and database row-level security. No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure.

- Opt-Out of Sale/Sharing/Profiling: we do not sell or share personal information for targeted advertising, nor engage in profiling for decisions producing legal or similarly significant effects.
