4. Data Storage and Retention
Location: Your data is stored on servers located in the United States (California).
Retention Period: We retain your personal information and uploaded content for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide you services. If you close your account, we will retain your data for up to 6 months before permanent deletion, unless we are required to retain it longer for legal or regulatory purposes.
Screenplay Content: Uploaded screenplays and analysis results are retained indefinitely while your account is active to provide you with historical access to your work.
5. AI Processing and Your Intellectual Property
We understand that your screenplay is your most valuable creative asset. This section explains how we handle your content when using artificial intelligence to provide our analysis services.
5.1 Third-Party AI Providers
To provide screenplay analysis, we use AI services from established providers including Anthropic (Claude), xAI (Grok), Google (Gemini), Perplexity, Mistral, and others. When you upload content for analysis, portions of your screenplay are transmitted to these providers' APIs to generate insights.
5.2 No AI Model Training
We use AI providers whose current terms of service state that data submitted via their APIs is not used to train their foundation models. Specifically:
- Anthropic (Claude): API inputs are not used for model training per their usage policies
- xAI (Grok): API data submitted through enterprise endpoints is not used for model training per their API terms
- Google (Gemini): API data is not used to improve generative models per their terms
- Perplexity, Mistral, and others: API data is not used for model training per their respective API terms of service
We select providers based in part on these commitments. However, we encourage you to review each provider's current privacy policy for the most up-to-date information, as their terms may change.
5.3 US and EU Data Infrastructure
We route AI processing through providers with data centers located in the United States and European Union. We do not use AI providers that process data primarily in jurisdictions outside of the US and EU.
5.4 Data Retention by AI Providers
AI providers may temporarily retain data for abuse monitoring, typically for 30 days or less per their policies. After analysis is complete, we do not send your content to AI providers again unless you request a new analysis.
5.5 Your Ownership Rights
You retain all intellectual property rights to your original screenplay content. Our use of AI providers to analyze your content does not transfer any ownership or licensing rights in your work to Quilty or to the AI providers. The analysis results generated are provided solely for your use.
6. Data Sharing and Disclosure
We do not sell, rent, or share your personal information or screenplay content with third parties for marketing purposes, except in the following limited circumstances:
- AI Processing Providers: As described in Section 5, we share screenplay content with AI providers solely for the purpose of generating your analysis. These providers are contractually prohibited from using your content for model training.
