Privacy Policy

Last updated: 2 April 2025

1. Data Controller

Terminal AI is operated by Studio Ionique, a company registered in India (“we”, “us”, or “our”). We are the data controller for personal data collected through the platform. For any privacy-related queries, contact us at support@studioionique.com.

2. Data We Collect

We collect the following categories of personal data:

  • Account data: name, email address, and hashed password when you register.
  • Usage data: AI app interactions, credit consumption, and session metadata.
  • Payment data: billing name and transaction identifiers. Payment card details are processed directly by Razorpay and are never stored on our servers.
  • Technical data: IP address, browser type, and device information collected automatically via server logs.
  • Communications: any messages you send to our support team.

3. How We Use Your Data

We use your personal data to:

  • Provide, operate, and improve the Terminal AI platform.
  • Process payments and manage your credit balance.
  • Send transactional emails (receipts, password resets, account alerts).
  • Respond to support requests.
  • Detect and prevent fraud or abuse.
  • Comply with applicable legal obligations.

4. Legal Basis (GDPR)

Where the GDPR or equivalent data protection law applies, we process your personal data under the following legal bases:

  • Contract performance: processing necessary to fulfil your account and subscription.
  • Legitimate interests: fraud prevention, security, and platform improvement.
  • Legal obligation: compliance with tax and regulatory requirements.
  • Consent: where we ask for your explicit consent for optional communications.

5. Data Sharing

We do not sell your personal data. We share data only with the following categories of service providers under appropriate data processing agreements:

  • Razorpay — payment processing. Their privacy policy governs card data.
  • OpenRouter — AI model routing. Prompts and responses may be transmitted to third-party AI model providers via OpenRouter.
  • Cloud infrastructure providers — hosting and database services.

We may also disclose data when required by law or to protect the rights and safety of our users and the public.

6. Data Retention

We retain your account data for as long as your account is active, plus a reasonable period thereafter to comply with legal obligations. Usage logs are retained for up to 12 months. You may request deletion of your account and associated data at any time by contacting us.

7. Your Rights

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have the following rights regarding your personal data:

  • Right of access — obtain a copy of your data.
  • Right of rectification — correct inaccurate data.
  • Right of erasure — request deletion of your data.
  • Right to data portability — receive your data in a structured format.
  • Right to object — object to certain types of processing.
  • Right to restrict processing — limit how we use your data.

To exercise any of these rights, email support@studioionique.com. We will respond within 30 days.

8. Cookies

We use only essential cookies necessary for the platform to function (for example, session authentication). We do not use third-party tracking cookies or advertising cookies. No cookie consent banner is displayed because no non-essential cookies are set.

9. Security

We implement industry-standard technical and organisational measures to protect your personal data, including encryption in transit (TLS) and at rest, access controls, and regular security reviews. However, no system is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

10. International Transfers

Terminal AI is operated from India. If you access the platform from outside India, your data may be transferred to and processed in India or other countries where our service providers operate. By using the platform you consent to such transfers.
