2) How we use data
We use personal data to:

Model training and your content
We do not use your Customer Content (inputs, app data, logs, screenshots, recordings, test outputs) to train foundation models unless you explicitly opt in or submit content as feedback for that purpose.
We may use aggregated or de-identified telemetry to improve reliability, safety tooling, and product analytics.
If content is flagged for Trust & Safety review (e.g., suspected abuse), we may analyze it to improve detection and enforcement systems.
3) How we share data
We share personal data only as described below:
Affiliates. With Altquid-controlled entities, subject to this Policy.
Service providers. With vetted vendors who host infrastructure, process payments, provide analytics, customer support, security, email delivery, logging, and similar services. They may access personal data only to perform work for us and must protect it.
Integrations you enable. With third-party tools you connect (e.g., ticketing, Slack, CI/CD). Data shared depends on your configuration.
Legal, safety, and rights. To comply with law, respond to lawful requests, protect users and the public, and enforce contracts and policies.
Business transfers. In connection with a merger, acquisition, financing, or sale of assets, subject to continued protection consistent with this Policy.
With consent. When you ask or authorize us to share.
We do not sell personal data. We also do not share personal data for cross-context behavioral advertising where prohibited by law.
We maintain a list of subprocessors upon request at contact@gowanus.ai and will provide notice of material changes as required.
4) Your rights & choices
Depending on your location, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, restrict, object, or port your personal data, and to withdraw consent where processing is based on consent.

We are a U.S. company. We may transfer, store, and process personal data in the United States and other countries where we or our service providers operate.
Where required, we use appropriate safeguards such as Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) and comparable transfer mechanisms, and we implement technical and organizational measures to protect transferred data.
6) Retention & deletion
We retain personal data for as long as necessary to provide the Services, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce agreements. Retention periods vary by data type and use case.
When data is no longer needed, we delete, de-identify, or aggregate it. You can request deletion of your account data at contact@gowanus.ai (subject to legal or contractual retention requirements).
7) Security
We implement administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect personal data, including access controls, encryption in transit, network segregation, logging/monitoring, vulnerability management, and regular backups. No method of transmission or storage is perfectly secure; we work to continuously improve our defenses.
8) Children
The Services are not directed to children under 18, and we do not knowingly collect personal data from them. If you believe a child has provided personal data to us, contact contact@gowanus.ai and we will take appropriate steps to delete it.
