Privacy Policy
Last updated 2026-06-02
Effective date: June 2, 2026 Last updated: June 2, 2026
I'm Relumir — an AI research assistant that reads your documents, searches the web, and helps you write well-cited work. Handling your information carefully is part of earning your trust, so this have been written in plain language. If anything here is unclear, email me at privacy@relumir.com and I'll explain.
In this policy, "I", "me", "my", and "Relumir" mean Relumir ("the company"), located at . "You" means the person or organization using Relumir. I am the data controller for the information described here.
1. The short version
- I collect what I need to run your account, do your research, and bill you — not more.
- I never sell your personal information, and I don't use your private content to train AI models.
- To do research for you, I share the content you give me with trusted service providers (such as AI model providers and a payment processor) under contracts that keep it confidential.
- You can access, correct, export, or delete your information by emailing me.
- I keep your data only as long as I need it, then remove it.
The rest of this policy is the detail behind those promises.
2. Information I collect
Information you give me directly
- Account details: your email address, display name, and password (stored only as a secure, irreversible hash — I never see or store your actual password). If you sign in with Google, I receive a Google account identifier instead of a password.
- Profile details: an optional avatar image.
- Your content: the documents you upload, the research briefs and prompts you write, and the work I generate with you. I treat this as confidential and yours.
- Payment details: when you subscribe, my payment processor collects and handles your card information directly. I receive your plan, billing country, and renewal status — never your full card number.
- Messages you send me: support requests and anything else you choose to share.
Information I collect automatically
- Device & security data: your browser type, a device label, IP address, and an approximate location (city/country derived from your IP). I use this to keep your account secure and to alert you about sign-ins from new devices.
- Usage data: basic, privacy-respecting records of how the service performs, so I can keep it reliable and fix errors.
What I don't collect: I don't run advertising trackers, and I don't buy personal information about you from data brokers.
3. How I use your information
I use your information to:
- create and run your account, and keep it secure;
- do the research you ask for — read and analyze your documents, search the web, and draft cited work;
- process payments and manage your subscription;
- send you essential service messages (verification codes, security alerts, billing notices) and, only if you opt in, occasional product updates;
- detect, prevent, and investigate abuse, fraud, and security incidents;
- meet my legal obligations.
Legal bases (GDPR/UK GDPR): I rely on performance of a contract (running the service you signed up for), legitimate interests (security, abuse prevention, improving reliability), consent (optional marketing emails — withdrawable anytime), and legal obligation (tax, accounting, lawful requests).
4. AI processing — how your content is handled
This matters most, so I'll be direct.
- To do your research, I send the relevant content (such as your documents, extracted text and images, and your prompts) to leading third-party AI model providers that perform tasks like reading, summarizing, extracting facts, and drafting.
- These providers process your content only to complete your request, under contracts that require confidentiality.
- I do not use your private content to train my own models, and I select AI providers and settings intended to ensure your content is not used to train their models.
- To help you research the open web, I send your search queries and target links (not your private documents) to web-search and content-retrieval providers.
- To support originality, I may send draft text to a plagiarism-detection provider to check it against published sources.
5. Who I share information with
I do not sell your personal information. I share it only with:
- Service providers ("subprocessors") who help me run Relumir, each under a contract that limits them to my instructions and requires they protect your data. By category:
- AI model providers — to read, analyze, and draft your work.
- Payment processing — a third-party payment provider to take payments and manage subscriptions securely (I never store your full card number myself).
- Cloud hosting & storage — to securely store and serve your data.
- Web search & content-retrieval providers — to research the open web.
- Plagiarism / originality checking — to verify draft originality.
- Email delivery — to send you account and service messages.
- Error monitoring — to detect and fix problems.
- Legal & safety recipients — courts, regulators, or law enforcement when I'm legally required to, or to protect rights, safety, and the integrity of the service.
- In a business transfer — if Relumir is involved in a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, your information may transfer as part of that deal; I'll tell you first.
I can provide more detail about my current providers on request at privacy@relumir.com.
6. International transfers
I'm based in the United States, and my providers may process your data in the US and other countries. Where I transfer personal data out of the EEA, UK, or Switzerland, I use legal safeguards such as the European Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses (and the UK equivalent) to protect it.
7. How long I keep your data
- Account data: while your account is active, and for a short period afterward to meet legal, tax, and security obligations, then deleted or anonymized.
- Your content: until you delete it or close your account, after which I remove it from active systems within 90 days (some copies may persist briefly in secure backups before they expire).
- Billing records: kept as long as tax and accounting law requires.
- Security logs: kept for a limited period, then deleted.
8. Your rights and choices
Wherever you live, you can ask me to:
- access the personal information I hold about you;
- correct anything inaccurate;
- export a copy in a portable format;
- delete your information ("right to be forgotten");
- restrict or object to certain processing;
- withdraw consent for optional emails at any time.
How to use these rights: email privacy@relumir.com. I'll verify your identity and respond within 30 days (I may extend by a further 60 days for complex requests and will tell you if so). These rights are free to exercise.
If you're in the EEA/UK: you also have the right to complain to your local data protection authority.
If you're in California (CCPA/CPRA): you have the rights above plus the right not to be discriminated against for exercising them. I do not sell or "share" your personal information for cross context behavioral advertising, and I don't process it for those purposes.
9. How I protect your data
I use industry-standard safeguards: encryption in transit, hashed passwords, access controls, sender-constrained sessions, and new-device security alerts. No system is perfectly secure, but I work hard to protect your information and will notify you and the relevant authorities of a breach as required by law.
10. Children
Relumir isn't intended for anyone under 16, and I don't knowingly collect information from children. If you believe a child has given me personal data, email privacy@relumir.com and I'll delete it.
11. Changes to this policy
If I make a material change, I'll update the date above and notify you in-app or by email before it takes effect. Continuing to use Relumir after that means you accept the updated policy.
