Privacy. We collect information about visitors to the Site in a few different ways: we collect certain information that visitors provide to the Site, we collect some information automatically, and we collect information generated through visitors' use of the Site.

We collect the information that web browsers, mobile devices, and servers typically make available about visitors to the Site, such as the IP address, browser type, unique device identifiers, language preference, referring site, the date and time of access, operating system, and mobile network information. We may determine the approximate location of your device from your IP address. We may use cookies and other technologies like pixel tags to help us identify and track visitors, usage, and access preferences for our Site, track and understand marketing campaign effectiveness and to deliver targeted ads, and improve the Site and its user experience.

We collect information about your usage of the Site. For example, we collect information about the actions that visitors perform on the Site, in other words, who did what and when.

Content Generation. If you use any feature that generates reasons, or other content, you understand that your submitted text may be sent to third-party service providers for moderation, processing, and generation. We may also create and use a hashed identifier derived from your IP address for safety, abuse-prevention, rate limiting, and enforcement purposes, and may share that identifier with such providers. We do not store submissions used for this feature as part of the Site's ordinary content records, but we may keep limited logs or records reasonably necessary for security, abuse prevention, rate limiting, enforcement, debugging, or legal compliance, including records of blocked or restricted requests.

We may share limited data with third-party service providers as reasonably necessary to operate the Site and its features, including generating pros and cons, detecting abuse, enforcing usage restrictions, debugging issues, and maintaining security.

Third-party services that we use to provide the Site, including content moderation and generation services, may process and retain information under their own terms, policies, and legal obligations. We do not control those third-party practices.

We do not sell our visitors' data.

User Content. You are solely responsible for any text, prompts, or other content you submit to the Site, including through this feature.

Termination. You are free to stop using the Site at any time. We also reserve the right to suspend, restrict, or end your use of the Site, or any feature of it including this feature, at any time at our discretion and without notice. For example, we may do so if you fail to comply with these Terms, if your use creates or may create legal liability, security risk, abuse risk, or operational burden for us or our providers, if your submissions are flagged by moderation or safety systems, or if you attempt to bypass any usage limits, moderation, or safeguards.
