VantageMine ("we," "our," or "us") is operated by AI Intelligent Systems. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and protect your information when you use VantageMine at vantagemine.com and our related services (collectively, the "Service"). By using the Service, you agree to the terms of this Privacy Policy.
1. Information We Collect
We collect information you provide directly to us, including:
Account information: When you create an account, we collect your full name, email address, phone number (optional), and account type (Student, Professional, or Business).
Profile information: Job title, organization name, education level, and other optional profile details you choose to provide.
Writing samples: Documents or text files you voluntarily upload to train VantageMine's writing style engine. These samples are used solely to personalize your experience and are never used to train AI models for other users.
Session content: The assignments, tasks, questions, and documents you enter during guided sessions, along with the AI-generated responses.
Usage data: Information about how you interact with the Service, including session counts, features used, and pages visited.
Payment information: If you subscribe to a paid plan, payment is processed by our third-party payment processor. We do not store your full payment card details.
2. How We Use Your Information
We use the information we collect to:
— Provide, operate, and improve the Service
— Personalize your experience based on your account type and writing style profile
— Process your sessions and generate guided responses
— Send you service-related communications, including account confirmations and support responses
— Respond to your inquiries and contact form submissions
— Monitor and analyze usage patterns to improve the Service
— Protect the security and integrity of the Service
— Comply with legal obligations
We do not sell your personal information to third parties. We do not use your writing samples, session content, or personal data to train AI models that serve other users.
3. Writing Samples and Session Data
Writing samples you upload are stored securely in your account and used exclusively to generate personalized output for you. Session conversations — including your inputs and VantageMine's responses — are stored to enable session history and continuity features.
You may delete your writing samples and session history at any time from your account settings. Upon deletion, your data is removed from our active systems within 30 days, subject to any legal retention requirements.
4. Data Sharing and Disclosure
We do not sell, rent, or share your personal information with third parties for their marketing purposes. We may share your information with:
Service providers: Third-party vendors who help us operate the Service, including cloud infrastructure (Supabase), email delivery (Resend), AI processing (Anthropic), and hosting (Vercel). These providers are contractually bound to protect your data.
Legal requirements: We may disclose your information if required by law, court order, or governmental authority, or to protect the rights, property, or safety of VantageMine, our users, or others.
Business transfers: If AI Intelligent Systems is involved in a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, your information may be transferred as part of that transaction. We will notify you before your information is transferred and becomes subject to a different privacy policy.
5. Data Security
We implement industry-standard security measures to protect your information, including encrypted data transmission (HTTPS/TLS), secure database storage, row-level security controls, and access restrictions. However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure. We encourage you to use a strong, unique password for your account.
6. Data Retention
We retain your account information for as long as your account is active. Session data and writing samples are retained until you delete them or close your account. When you close your account, we will delete your personal data within 90 days, except where retention is required by law.
7. Your Rights
Depending on your location, you may have the following rights regarding your personal information:
— Access: Request a copy of the personal information we hold about you
— Correction: Request correction of inaccurate or incomplete information
— Deletion: Request deletion of your personal information

8. Cookies and Tracking
We use cookies and similar technologies to maintain your session, remember your preferences, and analyze Service usage. We do not use advertising cookies or third-party tracking pixels. You can control cookie settings through your browser, though disabling certain cookies may affect Service functionality.
9. Children's Privacy
VantageMine is designed to be used by students of all ages, including minors, but requires account creation by an adult (parent or guardian) for users under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information directly from children under 13 without verifiable parental consent. If you believe a child under 13 has provided us with personal information without parental consent, please contact us at contact@vantagemine.com.
10. International Users
VantageMine is operated from the United States. If you access the Service from outside the United States, your information may be transferred to and processed in the United States, where data protection laws may differ from those in your country. By using the Service, you consent to this transfer.
