Privacy Policy

At linesNcircles, we respect your privacy and are committed to handling your information responsibly. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect information when you visit our website or use our applications and services, including TheBar (together, the "Services").

1. Information We Collect

Information You Provide

Contact Form: When you use our Contact Us form or request a demo through our Solutions pages, we collect only your email address and the message you send. Your identity remains anonymous, we do not link your contact information to your TheBar usage, device tokens, or any other data. We use your email solely to respond to your inquiry and do not associate it with your TheBar activity.

Technical and Usage Data

Basic Device Data: Your browser or device may provide non-identifiable data such as device type, operating system, IP address, or referring URL. This is used for security and basic analytics.

TheBar Prompts and Chat History: We store every prompt and chat response between you and TheBar. Your chat history and model responses are sent to our servers so we can process your requests and improve the service. We also save query and execution success along with model responses in our database.

File Attachments: When you attach files to your chat messages in TheBar, these files are sent to our servers to process your requests. We also store the local file path (the location on your computer where the file is stored) solely for reference purposes to help TheBar access and process the file. Supported file types include images, documents, spreadsheets, presentations, text files, code files, and PDFs.

Local File Storage: All content you create with TheBar, including websites, documents, and presentations, is stored locally on your device under your creations folder. We do not have access to these local files unless you choose to publish them using TheBar's publish feature.

Cookies and Tracking

Third-Party Tools: We use third-party tools and services, such as Google Analytics, to understand how visitors use our website and improve our services. These third-party services may collect and retain information such as your IP address, browser type, pages visited, and other usage data for their own retention periods as determined by their privacy policies. Google Analytics uses cookies and similar technologies. You can opt out of Google Analytics by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on. Additionally, we use AI model providers to power TheBar's functionality, and these providers may store your conversations as part of their data retention policies.

UTM Parameters: We may store UTM (Urchin Tracking Module) parameters in cookies to track the effectiveness of our marketing campaigns. These cookies help us understand how users find our website.

The retention periods for data collected by third-party tools are governed by their respective privacy policies. If our use of tracking technologies changes, we will update this Policy and provide notice.

Payment Information

When you make a payment for our services, we collect and store some information related to payment transactions including emails and names during the payment process. This information is necessary to process your transaction and manage your subscription.

Browsing History

We do not store your personal browsing history. However, the query and execution success and our model responses are saved in our database along with your optional feedback.

2. How We Use Information

We may use collected information to:

• Provide, maintain, and improve the Services.
• Process prompts and enhance the functionality of TheBar.
• Communicate with you, including responding to inquiries.
• Maintain the security and integrity of our systems.
• Comply with legal obligations and enforce our terms or rights.

3. How We Share Information

We do not sell or rent your personal data. We may share limited, non-identifiable information:

• With Service Providers: Trusted vendors who help operate or secure our Services, bound by confidentiality obligations.
• Published Content: When you choose to publish your work (websites, documents, or presentations) using TheBar's publish feature, that content becomes publicly accessible on our website with a unique URL. By publishing, you consent to making that content publicly available.
• For Legal Reasons: If required by law or to protect rights, property, or safety.
• During Business Changes: If our business is transferred or merged, consistent with applicable law.

4. Data Retention and Security

Retention: We keep information only as long as needed for the purposes described or as required by law. Prompt data, chat history, and model responses.

Security: We use end-to-end encryption and follow strict security protocols to protect your data. We apply reasonable measures to protect data.

5. Your Rights

Depending on your location, you may have rights to access, correct, or delete certain information you provided directly (e.g., your email messages). To exercise rights or ask questions, contact [email protected] or use our Contact Us form.

6. International Users

We are based in Canada and follow applicable Canadian privacy laws. Where relevant, we also honor key requirements from other jurisdictions such as the GDPR (EU) and CCPA/CPRA (California).

7. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The latest version will always be posted on our website with an updated "Effective Date." Continued use of our Services after updates means you accept the revised Policy.
