Privacy Policy

Beta legal notice: This page summarizes ThoughtCite policies for beta customers in plain English. It is not legal advice and may be updated as the product, providers, and customer terms evolve.

This beta privacy notice explains the categories of data ThoughtCite expects to process to provide predictive content recommendations, creator memory, drafting, branded visuals, LinkedIn publishing support, billing, and proof-loop visibility tracking. Counsel must finalize retention, transfer, and customer-rights language before launch.

Data we collect

Account data may include name, email, auth identifiers, login/account metadata, and subscription state. Billing data may include plan, subscription status, Stripe customer/subscription IDs, invoice metadata, and billing metadata; full card details are handled by Stripe, not stored by ThoughtCite.

LinkedIn and content data may include profile information, email returned by LinkedIn, authorized publishing metadata, manually pasted post history, drafts, prompts, voice-profile inputs, generated variants, edits, scoring outputs, feedback, publish metadata, tracked prompts, AI-engine responses, mentions, competitors, and benchmark snapshots.

How we use data

ThoughtCite uses data to provide drafting, scoring, voice modeling, publishing support, analytics, tracking, authentication, account protection, payment processing, subscription management, support, debugging, monitoring, product improvement, abuse prevention, and legal-term enforcement.

AI providers may process customer inputs for service delivery. ThoughtCite may send drafts, pasted posts, prompts, voice-profile inputs, and related context to providers such as Anthropic, OpenAI, Perplexity, Google/Gemini, and infrastructure providers that help operate the service.

AI, training, and subprocessors

We do not sell your content or use your private drafts to train ThoughtCite models for other customers. We configure providers to limit retention/training where available and disclose subprocessors as they are added; provider-specific no-training or retention claims require contract/settings verification before publication.

Subprocessor and infrastructure details live on the Subprocessors page. Data may be processed in the United States and by third-party providers in other jurisdictions.

Retention and controls

ThoughtCite expects to keep account, billing, content, voice, and tracking data while an account is active, and retain limited records after cancellation for legal, security, tax, dispute, fraud-prevention, and backup reasons. Exact retention periods need counsel/engineering approval.

User controls should include disconnecting LinkedIn, deleting drafts where supported, cancelling subscriptions, requesting export/deletion through support, and managing tracked prompts/competitors.
