Privacy Policy for The Graphite Study

Effective Date: 2/20/2026

1. Information Collection and Use

For a better experience while using our Service, we may require you to provide us with certain personally identifiable information.

  • Account Data: When you create an account, we may collect your email address and name.

  • Chat Data: Because The Graphite Study is an AI conversational application, the text you input into the chat is collected to generate responses. Please do not share sensitive personal information (such as financial data or medical information) within the chat.

  • Usage Data: We may automatically collect data related to app crashes, diagnostics, and performance to improve the Service.

2. How We Use Your Data

We use the collected information for the following purposes:

  • To operate and maintain the AI chat functionality.

  • To generate dynamic responses based on your input.

  • To improve, personalize, and expand our app's capabilities.

  • To communicate with you regarding updates or customer support.

3. Third-Party Services and Data Sharing

The app utilizes third-party application programming interfaces (APIs) to process natural language and generate AI responses.

  • AI Processing: Your chat inputs are sent to third-party Large Language Model (LLM) providers Google Cloud strictly for the purpose of generating conversational replies.

  • Voluntary Support: The Service includes an external link to a third-party platform (e.g., Buy Me a Coffee) for voluntary developer support. If you choose to use this tip jar, you will be directed to an external site. Any information you provide there (such as payment details) is governed entirely by that platform's privacy policy. We do not collect, process, or store your payment information.

  • We do not sell your personal data to third parties. Data is only shared with service providers who assist in operating our app and who are bound by strict confidentiality agreements.

4. Data Retention and Deletion

We retain your personal information only for as long as is necessary for the purposes set out in this Privacy Policy.

  • User Rights: You have the right to request the deletion of your account and associated chat data at any time.

  • How to Request Deletion: You can request data deletion directly within the app's settings menu under "Account" or by contacting us at thegraphitestudy@gmail.com. Upon request, we will securely delete your data from our active databases.

5. Children’s Privacy

These Services do not address anyone under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from children under 13. In the case we discover that a child under 13 has provided us with personal information, we immediately delete this from our servers. If you are a parent or guardian and you are aware that your child has provided us with personal information, please contact us so that we will be able to take necessary actions.

6. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time. Thus, you are advised to review this page periodically for any changes. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page.
