Privacy Policy
This privacy policy is applicable to the Cogitae app (hereinafter referred to as “Application”) for desktop devices, which was developed by BitArts, Ltd (hereinafter referred to as “Service Provider”) as a a Commercial service. This service is provided “AS IS”.
What information does the Application obtain and how is it used?
What information do users provide to the Application?
The Application acquires the information you submit to AI providers through use of the Application. This information is used solely to persist your conversation with the AI provider. Conversations, messages and content may be submitted to an AI provider for summarization.
What information does the Application collect automatically?
The Application may collect certain information automatically, including, but not limited to, AI provider token usage information and your AI provider API key. These items are used for your information only and for accessing the AI provider on your behalf. No information is sent to any third party, including BitArts, Ltd.
What information does the licensing system store?
When you obtain a trial or purchase a license through our website, we store only:
- Your license key and its associated metadata (license type, creation date, expiration date if applicable)
- A cryptographic hash of your email address — not your actual email
- IP addresses used during license creation and verification, to help combat fraud
We do not store your email address, name, or any other personal information. The cryptographic hash is a one-way transformation that allows us to verify your email when you need to recover your license, but it cannot be reversed to reveal your actual email address.
Important: Because we do not store your email address, you must remember which email you used to obtain your license. If you need to recover your license, you will need to enter the exact same email address. We cannot look up your license by name or any other identifier.
Does the Application collect precise real time location information of the device?
This Application does not gather information about the location of your device.
Does the Application use Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies?
The Application does use Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies to process your data or provide features.
The Application uses Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies to enhance user experience and provide certain features. The AI components may process user data in the following ways:
- Personalized Content: AI may analyze your usage patterns to deliver content tailored to your preferences and behavior.
- Recommendations: AI may suggest features, services, or content based on your interactions within the Application.
- Automated Functionalities: Certain app features may be powered by AI to automate tasks or improve efficiency.
- Data Protection: All AI processing is performed in accordance with this privacy policy and applicable laws, ensuring your data is handled securely and responsibly.
Do third parties see and/or have access to information obtained by the Application?
No information, beyond what you yourself submit to AI providers you configure, is sent to any third party, including BitArts, Ltd.
What are my opt-out rights?
You can halt all collection of information by the Application easily by uninstalling the Application. You may use the standard uninstall processes as may be available as part of your device.
What is the data retention policy and how can you manage your information?
The Service Provider retains only license information (license keys and their metadata) and cryptographic hashes of email addresses used to obtain licenses. We do not retain your actual email address, name, or any other personally identifiable information. License data is retained indefinitely to allow license verification and recovery.
If you wish to have your license data deleted, please contact us at privacy@bitarts.us. Note that deleting your license data will invalidate your license key.
How does the Application address children’s privacy?
The Service Provider does not use the Application to knowingly solicit data from or market to children under the age of 13.
The Service Provider does not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from children. The Service Provider encourages all children to never submit any personally identifiable information through the Application and/or Services. The Service Provider encourage parents and legal guardians to monitor their children’s Internet usage and to help enforce this Policy by instructing their children never to provide personally identifiable information through the Application and/or Services without their permission. If you have reason to believe that a child has provided personally identifiable information to the Service Provider through the Application and/or Services, please contact the Service Provider (privacy@bitarts.us) so that they will be able to take the necessary actions. You must also be at least 16 years of age to consent to the processing of your personally identifiable information in your country (in some countries we may allow your parent or guardian to do so on your behalf).
How is your information kept secure?
The Service Provider is concerned about safeguarding the confidentiality of your information. Within the Application, we collect only the information you intentionally submit to AI providers you have configured. No other information is collected and no information is transmitted to any other party.
For the licensing system, we use a strong cryptographic hash (one-way function) to store a representation of your email address rather than the email itself. This means even if our license database were compromised, your actual email address could not be recovered from the stored data.
How will you be informed of changes to this Privacy Policy?
This Privacy Policy may be updated from time to time for any reason. The Service Provider will notify you of any changes to the Privacy Policy by updating this page with the new Privacy Policy. You are advised to consult this Privacy Policy regularly for any changes, as continued use is deemed approval of all changes.
This privacy policy is effective as of 2024-12-12
How do you give your consent?
By using the Application, you are giving your consent to the Service Provider processing of your information as set forth in this Privacy Policy now and as amended by us. “Processing,” means using cookies on a computer/hand held device or using or touching information in any way, including, but not limited to, collecting, storing, deleting, using, combining and disclosing information.
How can you contact us?
If you have any questions regarding privacy while using the Application, or have questions about the practices, please contact the Service Provider via email at privacy@bitarts.us.
