Our General Approach

Conversational artificial intelligence is at the technological frontier. We believe that this emerging technology will fundamentally change the way we engage with and think about computers in our everyday lives. Ultimately, our goal is to use AI to build safe, smart, kind, and engaging conversational partners.

Our Privacy Policy reflects our belief that achieving this goal and making the technology truly useful for all will require a deep understanding of how our users talk and collaborate with AIs. As users interact with our AIs, we learn a lot about how to make AI better and more useful to you.

Users deserve transparency regarding how that process works, particularly when it comes to their data. This Policy is one part of that transparency. It documents what data we collect, how we keep it secure, and describes how we use that data to improve our Services for everyone. Here are the top-level points:

– You agree to follow our Acceptable Use policy. When you interact with our AI assistants, you should not try to get them to talk about harmful, abusive, or illegal topics. You also should not attempt to evade our security measures or learn about the models, algorithms, prompts, or source code of our AI assistants. If our automated systems detect this activity, you may be suspended.

– You are not permitted to use Newbeings 1619 if you are under the age of 18.

– Our AI assistants may generate content that is fictional or simulated. You should not rely on any information provided without verifying the facts yourself or, if appropriate, consulting a professional.

This encompasses auditing, fulfilling legal requests from government authorities, and preventing prohibitive activities.

This includes sharing your personal information with hosting, cloud services, maintenance, security, and customer service providers. Specific information may also occasionally be shared for advertising measurement and attribution services.

Security

Security is paramount for the efficacy of Newbeings 1619’s conversational AI. It is crucial for users to trust that their data is handled responsibly and securely to fully benefit from our services.

At Newbeings 1619, we prioritize the integrity of your data. We have implemented technical safeguards to protect personal information from unauthorized access, corruption, loss, or misuse. These measures involve limited access to personal information, restricted to a specific group of specialist employees who work on enhancing the security or quality of our services. Where feasible and appropriate, we also anonymize sensitive data, such as conversational logs, to maintain user privacy.

However, please acknowledge that no security measures are infallible, and the use of our services is at your own risk.

Users are also responsible for the security of their accounts. Failing to secure access on your devices or browsers may allow third parties unauthorized access to your personal information.

Data Security and Retention

We implement reasonable measures to protect data from loss, theft, misuse, unauthorized access, disclosure, alternation, or destruction. Keep in mind that no data storage or transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

Information collected by third parties may not follow the same protections as information submitted do us, and we cannot guarantee the security of that information.

We retain information as long as it’s needed to provide our platform and other intentions outlined in this privacy policy. This includes retention necessary to meet contractual and legal obligations, pursue legitimate business interests like platform improvement and safety, and manage legal claims.

The duration for which we retain information varies by its type and usage purpose. For instance, profile information needed to provide platform access is kept for the duration of an active account. Information regarding potential violations of our terms or policies can result in immediate profile removal, although other data might be retained longer for processing the violation.

Additionally, data, including data shared with or collected by business partners, may be retained longer under certain conditions like legal compliance and safety requirements or law enforcement interactions.

Lastly, even if public content is removed from Newbeings 1619, it may continue to exist elsewhere on the web and could be retained by third parties such as search engines based on their own privacy policies.

Retention Approach

We retain personal information based on legal requirements and only for the period necessary to fulfill the purposes it was collected for. The appropriate retention duration is determined by several factors, including the information’s sensitivity, the risk of harm from unauthorized disclosure or use, the extent to which personal information aids in achieving our purposes, and applicable legal and regulatory directives.

Duration of Information Retention

We retain different types of information for varying periods, depending on how long we need to keep it to provide you with our products and services, comply with legal requirements, and ensure safety and security. For example:

– **Profile Information**: We keep your display name, username, password, and email address for as long as your account is active. We cannot offer our products and services without maintaining this information.

– **Usage Information**: Your posted content, interactions with other users’ content, and how you engage with others on the platform are retained for the duration of your account or until such content is removed.

– **Payment Information**: We retain your credit or debit card number and billing address while you use our paid products and services. Transaction records are kept longer in accordance with applicable laws.

– **Communications**: If you contact us, such as through email, we keep information about the communication and its content for up to 18 months, unless a longer retention period is required to comply with legal obligations or to exercise or defend our legal rights.

– **Device and Log Information**: We collect device information, location data, inferred identity information, and log information using cookies. This data is kept for up to 13 months. You can learn more about how we use cookies and similar technologies [here](#).

– **Information from Partners**: Data shared by advertising and business partners is kept for up to 90 days.

– **Account Violations**: If you violate our Rules and your account is suspended, we may indefinitely retain the identifiers used to create the account (such as your email address or phone number) to prevent repeat policy offenders from creating new accounts.

We may need to keep certain information longer than specified to comply with legal requirements and for safety and security reasons. For example:

– **Legal Compliance**: To adhere to laws, regulations, legal processes, or governmental requests, including legal preservation requests made by law enforcement. You can read more about law enforcement access [here](#).

– **Legal Claims and Litigation**: In connection with legal claims, litigation, and regulatory matters, where it is reasonably necessary to retain information related to your account to defend Newbeings 1619 against legal claims.

– **Safety and Security**: To maintain the safety and security of our products and services, including situations where it is necessary to store your information longer to investigate and combat abuse on our platform.

Please remember that public content can exist elsewhere even after it is removed from Newbeings 1619. For example, search engines and other third parties may retain copies of your posts longer based on their own privacy policies, even after they are deleted or expire on our platform. You can read more about search visibility [here](#).

Your posts, shares, comments, and other activities remain visible and available for an undetermined amount of time, depending not only on the amount of space available on our servers. We delete user activity on an as-needed basis. Therefore, this platform should not be used for essential or professional purposes.

For video content, you can adjust your autoplay settings if you prefer that content not to play automatically.

**Third-Party Collaborators.** Depending on your settings, or if you decide to share your data, we may share or disclose your information with third parties.
