PRIVACY POLICY

Last updated: March 14, 2026

Dusk AI ("we", "us", "our") operates the website duskai.io and related services (the "Service"). This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and your rights regarding your data.

1. Information We Collect

Account Information: When you create an account, we collect your username, email address, and a securely hashed version of your password. We also collect your birth year to verify you are 18 or older. You may optionally provide a Discord or Reddit username for contact purposes.

Conversation Data: When you use the Service, we store your chat messages and AI-generated responses. Our system automatically extracts and stores "memories" — key facts and details from your conversations — to enable persistent character memory across sessions.

Google Account Data: If you sign in with Google, we receive your email address and display name from Google. We do not access your Google contacts, calendar, or any other Google services.

Technical Data: We collect basic server logs including IP addresses and timestamps for security and debugging purposes. We do not use cookies. Authentication is handled via browser local storage.

Analytics Events: We track anonymized usage events (such as registration, login, and session starts) to improve the Service. We do not use any third-party analytics services.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use your information to: provide and maintain the Service; enable AI characters to remember details across conversations; verify your age and identity; communicate with you about your account; improve the Service based on usage patterns; and comply with legal obligations.

3. AI Processing and Third-Party Services

Your chat messages are sent to DeepSeek (a third-party AI provider) for generating character responses. DeepSeek processes your messages to generate responses but we do not share your account information (email, username, password) with them. For DeepSeek's own data practices, refer to their privacy policy at https://www.deepseek.com/privacy.

If you use Google Sign-In, authentication is processed through Google's OAuth service. See Google's privacy policy at https://policies.google.com/privacy.

4. Data Storage and Security

Your data is stored on servers located in the United States. We use industry-standard security measures including password hashing (bcrypt), encrypted connections (HTTPS), and access controls. However, no method of transmission or storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

5. Data Retention and Deletion

We retain your data for as long as your account is active. You may request deletion of your account and all associated data (messages, memories, and characters) by contacting us at [email protected]. We will process deletion requests within 30 days.

6. Children's Privacy

The Service is not intended for anyone under the age of 18. We require birth year verification at registration and do not knowingly collect information from minors. If we discover that a user is under 18, we will promptly delete their account and associated data.

7. Your Rights

Depending on your location, you may have the right to: access the personal data we hold about you; request correction of inaccurate data; request deletion of your data; object to or restrict certain processing; and receive your data in a portable format. To exercise these rights, contact us at [email protected].

8. NSFW Content

The Service may contain AI-generated content of a mature or explicit nature. This content is generated by AI models and is entirely fictional. By using the Service, you acknowledge that you are at least 18 years old and consent to encountering such content.

9. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify users of material changes by posting a notice on the Service. Your continued use of the Service after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
