1. Information We Collect, How It Is Used, & The Legal Basis for Processing

Account Information. We collect your email address to create an account and verify your identity. We also generate a unique user ID for your YouWare account. This information is used to manage your account, communicate with you, resolve issues, and provide updates about new YouWare features. This processing is necessary to comply with our legal and contractual obligations to you.

Device Information. We collect your device type and operating system details for analytics and to troubleshoot product issues. This helps us ensure the proper functioning of our services. This processing is necessary to comply with our contractual obligations to you.

Third Party Application Login. You can log into your YouWare account using third party applications (e.g., Google). When you log in using this method, we collect your name and email address associated with that third-party application for authentication and identity verification purposes. This processing is necessary to comply with our contractual obligations to you.

Subscription Billing Data. When you subscribe to YouWare, we use Stripe, a third - party payment processing service, to collect and process your billing information. The information collected by Stripe may include your name, billing address, credit or debit card details, and email address. This data collection and processing are carried out in accordance with Stripe's privacy policy, which can be accessed at Stripe Privacy Policy. We use this information to facilitate your subscription to Our services, ensure proper billing, and comply with our contractual obligations to you. Stripe is a trusted payment processor, and we work with them to ensure the security and privacy of your payment-related data.

Content Creator Payments. If you are a content creator on YouWare we collect and share your email with our third-party payment processor to help facilitate payments to you. This processing is necessary to comply with our legal and contractual obligations to you, including tax - related requirements and payment processing.

Download of Deployed Project Code by Paid Subscribers. If you are a paid subscriber of YouWare, you are entitled to download the project code that you have deployed on the YouWare platform. We will provide you with a designated download mechanism within the YouWare service interface. This feature is provided as part of the paid subscription service you have subscribed to.

We retain the right to monitor and log your download activities to ensure compliance with our terms of use and to protect the security of the platform. The logs generated will be kept in accordance with our data retention policy, which is based on legal requirements, business needs, and to resolve potential disputes. These logs will not contain any sensitive information beyond the fact that a download occurred, such as the time of download, the name of the project code being downloaded (if applicable), and your user account identifier. This information is used solely for the purposes of service management, security monitoring, and ensuring that the download feature is used in accordance with our policies.

User Research. We may ask you to help us test new features or participate in surveys to help enhance your YouWare experience. Your participation is voluntary and the data we collect is anonymized. With your consent, we may use your personal information to communicate with you. It is in our legitimate business interest to improve our platform.

Interactions with Bots on YouWare. Our third-party AI model LLM providers and third-party bot developers may receive details about your interactions with bots on YouWare (including the contents of your chats) to provide and generally improve their services, which they may process in their legitimate business interests. Your YouWare user account information (e.g., username and email) is not shared with our third party AI model providers or developers. Third-party developers that create bots on YouWare using APIs may view and store your anonymized chats on their servers to train their models. We may use your interactions on YouWare to provide you a personalized experience, such as recommending other bots to explore or topics to discuss.

You fully understand and completely agree that the information you voluntarily upload or publicly share during the use of our services may involve your own or others' personal information, and even sensitive personal information. Regarding such personal information and sensitive personal information, you should ensure that you have obtained your own complete, sufficient, and accurate authorization and consent. Moreover, if it involves third - party information, you must have obtained the explicit authorization and consent of the third parties. At the same time, you guarantee that the information you provide does not contain information of minors. Before uploading or publicly sharing, please carefully consider the nature of the information and its possible impacts to effectively protect personal information security and legal rights.

You guarantee that the text, pictures, videos, audio, links, and other contents uploaded when using our services are either original by you or have obtained legal authorization. They do not infringe on the personality rights of any third - party, such as the right to reputation, the right to name, the right to portrait, the right to voice, the right to privacy, as well as other legal rights and interests such as intellectual property rights and trade secrets. For those that need to be authorized, you have obtained complete, effective, and legal authorization from the third - party right - holders. And the above - mentioned contents do not contain any content that violates laws, regulations, and policies. The intellectual property rights of any content you upload and publish as part of using our services belong to you or the original copyright owner. We do not have the ability or obligation to manage, control, and conduct substantial review of the content you upload. Although in certain circumstances, we may conduct a formal review of the uploaded content for security and other considerations, this review does not mean that we make any commitments, guarantees, and/or assume any responsibilities for the content you upload. You should handle any disputes caused by the content you upload on your own and bear all the possible legal responsibilities. If our affiliated parties and us suffer losses (including but not limited to economic losses, reputation losses, and legal fees and other rights - protection costs paid thereby) due to your infringement or other improper acts, you shall also fully compensate for all the losses suffered by us, our affiliated parties, controlled companies, and successor companies.

You have the right to request certain information about our collection and use of your Personal Data over the past 12 months. In response, we will provide you with the following information:

If we have disclosed your Personal Data to any third parties for a business purpose over the past 12 months, we will identify the categories of Personal Data shared with each category of third - party recipient.

You have the right to request that we delete the Personal Data that we have collected about you. Under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), this right is subject to certain exceptions: for example, we may need to retain your Personal Data to provide you with the Services or complete a transaction or other action you have requested. If your deletion request is subject to one of these exceptions, we may deny your deletion request. When you submit a deletion request, we will delete your personal information as soon as possible. If you have any questions, you can contact our Data Protection Officer at [email protected].

To exercise the rights described above, you or your Authorized Agent (defined below) must send us a request that (1) provides sufficient information to allow us to verify that you are the person about whom we have collected Personal Data, and (2) describes your request in sufficient detail to allow us to understand, evaluate and respond to it. Each request that meets both of these criteria will be considered a “Valid Request.” We may not respond to requests that do not meet these criteria. We will only use Personal Data provided in a Valid Request to verify your identity and complete your request. You do not need an account to submit a Valid Request.

We will work to respond to your Valid Request within 45 days of receipt. We will not charge you a fee for making a Valid Request unless your Valid Request(s) is excessive, repetitive or manifestly unfounded. If we determine that your Valid Request warrants a fee, we will notify you of the fee and explain that decision before completing your request.

You may submit a Valid Request to [email protected].

You may also authorize an agent (an “Authorized Agent”) to exercise your rights on your behalf. To do this, you must provide your Authorized Agent with written permission to exercise your rights on your behalf, and we may request a copy of this written permission from your Authorized Agent when they make a request on your behalf.

We will not sell your Personal Data, and have not done so. To our knowledge, we do not sell the Personal Data of minors under 16 years of age.

We process your Personal Data for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy and our processing activities of your Personal Data shall be governed by laws and regulations in various jurisdictions, which shall be determined by various facts, including but without limitation, the location you resident, the location of our servers and the registration address of us. While data protection law varies by country, we apply the protections described in this policy to your Personal Data regardless of where it is processed, and only transfer that data pursuant to legally valid transfer mechanisms.

9. Regional Privacy Disclosures and Rights

We are considered the “data controller” of the “personal data” (as defined under the General Data Protection Regulation, GDPR) we handle under this Policy. The laws of the EEA and the United Kingdom require data controllers to inform you of the legal basis for using, sharing, or disclosing your personal data. Our legal bases are as follows:

• Contractual Commitments: We may use, share, or disclose personal data to fulfill our contractual obligations to you, such as complying with agreements and commitments in contracts.
• With Your Consent: Where required by law or in some cases, we use, share, or disclose personal data based on your consent.
• Legitimate Interests: In many cases, we use, share, or disclose personal data when it furthers our legitimate business interests and does not override the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of affected individuals, such as for customer service, promotional activities, business analysis and improvement, service security, fraud prevention, and legal issue management.
• Legal Compliance: We need to use and disclose personal data in certain ways to comply with our legal obligations.

In addition to the rights described in this Policy, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the relevant supervisory authority. However, we encourage you to contact us first, and we will do our best to resolve your concerns.

Under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), we must provide you with the “categories” of personal information and sensitive personal information we collect and disclose for business or commercial purposes.

We have collected and disclosed various categories of personal information for business or commercial purposes. The categories of personal information include identifiers (such as account ID, email address), internet or other electronic network activity information (e.g., IP address), general geolocation data (if collected), audio or video information (if you upload relevant content), other information you voluntarily provide (e.g., content - related information, questionnaire responses), and inferences drawn from the collected information.

We also collect certain categories of “sensitive personal information” as defined under the CCPA:

• • Account log - in and password or other credentials allowing access to your account
• Other sensitive personal information you voluntarily provide as an individual user of the Services (e.g., if you disclose sensitive information in your uploaded content)

We process these categories of personal information for the purposes described in this agreement We collect this information directly from you, through your use of the Services, and from other parties as applicable.

Do - Not - Track disclosure: We do not respond to browser - initiated Do Not Track signals as the Internet industry is still working on standards, implementations, and solutions.

Retention of your personal information: Please see the Data Retention section below.

CCPA rights: California residents can make requests about their personal information as described in Rights to Information About You. The CCPA also allows you to limit the use or disclosure of your “sensitive personal information” if it is used for certain purposes. Note that we do not use or disclose sensitive personal information for purposes other than those for which you cannot opt out under the CCPA.

Under California Civil Code Sections 1798.83 - 1798.84, California residents are entitled to contact us to prevent disclosure of Personal Data to third parties for such third parties’ direct marketing purposes; in order to submit such a request, please contact our Data Protection Officer at [email protected].

If you are a resident of Nevada, you have the right to opt - out of the sale of certain Personal Data to third parties who intend to license or sell that Personal Data. We do not sell your Personal Data. If you have any questions, please contact our Data Protection Officer at [email protected] with the subject line “Nevada Do Not Sell Request”.

10. Changes to this Privacy Policy

We’re constantly trying to improve our Services, so we may need to change this Privacy Policy from time to time. This could be due to various reasons, including changes in our service offerings, updates to legal requirements, or modifications in our relationships with third - party service providers like Stripe. In the event of changes related to Stripe's data - handling practices that materially affect your privacy, we will alert you to any such changes by placing a notice on the YouWare application, by sending you an email and/or by some other means.
