PRIVACY POLICY

At HyenAI Labs, we operate on the frontier of cognitive architecture. Your data is the fuel for intelligence, and we treat it with the same rigor we apply to our neural models. This Privacy Policy outlines how we collect, process, and protect your digital footprint.

1. DATA COLLECTION

We collect information that allows us to improve our autonomous systems:

• Identity Data: Name, email address, and professional affiliation when provided.
• Technical Data: IP addresses, browser types, and hardware identifiers used to access our platforms.
• Usage Data: How you interact with our agents and interfaces.
• Payment Data: Processed through secure, encrypted gateways (Stripe, PayPal). We do not store raw card numbers.

2. HOW WE USE YOUR DATA

Your information is used to:

• Maintain and optimize our cognitive services.
• Verify licensing for QAi - Sovereign software.
• Develop next-generation AI agents.
• Ensure the security of our decentralized nodes.

3. THIRD-PARTY API KEYS (BYOK)

For autonomous desktop products like QAi Sovereign Beta, cognitive abilities require you to Bring Your Own Key (BYOK) for third-party LLMs (e.g., DeepSeek, Gemini). We strictly map to the following privacy promises:

• Zero Telemetry: We do not transmit, collect, or store your third-party API keys. They exist solely encrypted on your local hardware.
• Local Sovereignty: Prompts sent and data generated via your API keys exist only between your machine and your chosen AI provider. HyenAI Labs has ZERO visibility into your test scripts or proprietary system data.
• User Responsibility: You are fully responsible for reading and opting into the privacy and data retention policies of the API providers you choose to plug into our engine.

4. COOKIE POLICY

We use session and persistent cookies to maintain state across our neural interfaces. You may opt-out through your browser settings, though some cognitive functions may be degraded.

4. DATA RETENTION

We retain data only as long as necessary for the purposes outlined. Encrypted archives are maintained for legal compliance and security audits.

5. YOUR RIGHTS

As a global entity, we respect international standards (GDPR, CCPA):

• Access: Request a copy of the data we hold on you.
• Erasure: Request the "Right to be Forgotten" from our active databases.
• Correction: Update inaccurate information.
