Privacy Policy

1. Information We Collect

We collect information to provide, improve, and personalize the Services, including AI-assisted content creation, publishing on custom domains, sharing features, and subscription management. Categories include:

Personal Information You Provide Directly

• Account creation: Name, email address, password.
• Subscription or payment processing: Billing name, address, phone number, payment details (processed securely via third-party providers; we do not store full card numbers).
• Content creation and personalization: User inputs (e.g., names, scenarios, prompts), uploaded images or files.
• Sharing features: Recipient email addresses or phone numbers when you send content via our built-in tools (we collect this to track virality and enable features).
• Communications: Information you provide when contacting support or providing feedback.

Automatically Collected Information

• Device and usage data: IP address, browser type, operating system, device identifiers, pages visited, time spent, referral sources.
• Cookies and similar technologies: For analytics, functionality, advertising, and session management (see Section 7).
• Behavioral data: Interactions with the creation funnel, content generated/published, shares sent/received (including patterns for improving virality features).

User-Generated Content Data

• The funny articles, AI-generated text/images, selected URLs (e.g., OnlyOpinions.com), and published content you create.
• Metadata about your creations (e.g., timestamps, edit history, preview interactions).

Other Sources

• From third parties: Analytics providers, payment processors, or ad networks (e.g., aggregated usage insights).

We aim to collect as much relevant data as reasonably necessary to deliver and enhance the viral, ad-supported experience while complying with data minimization principles under applicable laws.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use your information for the following purposes:

• To provide and maintain the Services (e.g., account management, content creation, publishing, sharing links via text/email).
• To process subscriptions, payments, and premium features.
• To personalize your experience (e.g., AI suggestions based on inputs and past creations).
• To track and analyze usage, virality chains, and engagement for product improvement and advertising optimization.
• To send service-related communications (e.g., confirmations, updates).
• For marketing (with consent where required) and targeted ads.
• To detect fraud, enforce terms, and ensure security.
• For research, analytics, and AI model training/improvement (using aggregated/de-identified data where possible).
• To comply with legal obligations.

3. How We Share Your Information

We may share your information in these circumstances:

• With service providers (e.g., hosting, AI generation tools, payment processors, email/text delivery services, analytics providers) who act on our behalf under strict contracts.
• For legal reasons: To comply with laws, respond to subpoenas, protect rights/safety, or enforce agreements.
• In business transfers: During mergers, acquisitions, or asset sales.
• With your consent: For example, if you share content publicly or with friends.
• Aggregated/de-identified data: For analytics, research, or marketing (not linked to individuals).

We do not sell personal data in the traditional sense, but we may engage in activities that qualify as "sales" or "sharing" under certain U.S. state laws (e.g., for targeted advertising). If we do, we will provide appropriate notices and opt-out options.

4. Data Retention

We retain personal information as long as necessary for the purposes outlined in this Policy, to fulfill legal obligations, resolve disputes, or enforce agreements. User content may be retained indefinitely unless you request deletion (subject to legal exceptions). De-identified data may be kept longer for analytics.

5. Your Privacy Rights

Depending on your location (especially Texas residents under the Texas Data Privacy and Security Act (TDPSA), or other applicable U.S. state laws), you may have rights including:

• To know/access the categories and specific pieces of personal data we collect about you.
• To correct inaccuracies.
• To delete your data (subject to exceptions, e.g., legal retention).
• To opt out of the "sale" or "sharing" of personal data, targeted advertising, or certain profiling.
• To limit use of sensitive data (if applicable).
• To non-discrimination for exercising rights.

To exercise these rights, contact us at privacy@brainspam.com. We will respond within the time required by law (e.g., 45 days under TDPSA, extendable). We may verify your identity before processing.

We also honor Global Privacy Control (GPC) or similar universal opt-out mechanisms where required.

Note: We do not knowingly collect sensitive personal data (e.g., precise geolocation, health data) without consent, and we comply with TDPSA requirements for consent on sensitive data processing.

6. Children's Privacy

Our Services are not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 without verifiable parental consent, in compliance with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA). If we learn we have collected such data, we will delete it. Parents/guardians: Contact privacy@brainspam.com if you believe we have collected your child's data.

We are mindful of users aged 13-18, but the Services contain mature/humorous content not suitable for all minors.

7. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

We use cookies, pixels, and similar technologies for essential functions, analytics, advertising, and personalization. You can manage preferences via your browser or our consent tools. We may use third-party analytics (e.g., Google Analytics) that collect data across sites.

For more details, see our Cookie Policy.

8. Data Security

We implement reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect your information from unauthorized access, loss, or misuse. However, no system is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

9. International Transfers

Our Services are hosted in the United States. If you access from outside the U.S., your information may be transferred to and processed in the U.S., where privacy laws may differ. We use appropriate safeguards for such transfers.

10. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Policy from time to time. Changes will be posted here with an updated "Last Updated" date. Continued use of the Services after changes constitutes acceptance.
