- Respond to support requests.
- Detect and prevent fraud or abuse.

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.

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.
