SUMMARY (plain language)
========================================================================

- We do NOT sell your data.

========================================================================
1. INFORMATION WE COLLECT
========================================================================

We collect the following categories of information:

  a) Account data: email address, name, authentication provider (GitHub OAuth
     or email/password), account creation date.

  b) Usage data: API requests, model calls, credit consumption, feature usage
     events, session metadata (IP address, user-agent, timestamps).

  c) Project data: files, embeddings, vector database rows, agent memory
     records, and other content you create within AINative Studio.

  d) Payment data: Stripe handles all payment processing. We store only
     transaction IDs, amounts, and subscription status — never card numbers.

  e) Technical data: error logs, performance metrics, crash reports (via
     Sentry or equivalent error-tracking service).

========================================================================
2. HOW WE USE YOUR INFORMATION

  - To calculate and bill API usage credits.

  - To diagnose errors and improve platform reliability.
  - To generate aggregate, anonymized analytics (no individual profiling).

We do NOT use your data to train AI models without explicit opt-in consent.
