Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how Design Mentor AI ("we", "us") collects, uses, and protects information when you use our website and services (the "Service"). We aim to collect only what we need and to be clear about how it is used.

1. Information we collect

• Account information: such as your name and email address when you sign up.
• Content you provide: designs, screenshots, links, and messages you submit to receive feedback.
• Usage data: how you interact with the Service, including pages viewed and features used.
• Device & technical data: such as browser type, approximate location, and cookies or similar technologies.
• Payment data: if you subscribe, billing is handled by a third-party payment processor; we do not store full card numbers.

2. How we use information

• To provide, operate, and improve the Service;
• To generate design feedback and personalise your experience;
• To process subscriptions and prevent fraud or abuse;
• To communicate with you about the Service; and
• To comply with legal obligations.

3. AI processing

To generate feedback, the content you submit may be processed by AI models, which may be operated by trusted third-party providers acting on our behalf. We share only what is needed to produce a response. We do not sell your content, and we do not use it to identify you for advertising.

4. How we share information

We do not sell your personal information. We may share it with:

• Service providers: such as hosting, analytics, AI, and payment partners who process data under our instructions;
• Legal & safety: where required by law or to protect rights, safety, and security; and
• Business transfers: in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets.

5. Data retention

We keep information for as long as needed to provide the Service and for legitimate business or legal purposes. You can request deletion of your account and associated content, subject to any legal retention requirements.

6. Your rights & choices

Depending on your location, you may have the right to access, correct, delete, or export your personal information, and to object to or restrict certain processing. You can also control cookies through your browser settings. We will honour applicable requests in accordance with the law.

7. Security

We use reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect your information. However, no method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

8. Children

The Service is not directed to children under 16, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them. If you believe a child has provided us information, please let us know so we can remove it.

9. Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we make material changes, we will update the "Last updated" date above and, where appropriate, provide additional notice.
