<h2>4. How We Use Data</h2>
<p>Your data is used to:</p>
<ul>
<li>Authenticate and manage your account</li>
<li>Store and retrieve chat history</li>
<li>Improve and maintain the app</li>
</ul>
<p>We do not sell your data.</p>
</section>
<section id="data">
<h2><span>02</span> Personal data we handle</h2>
<p>We collect data you provide and technical data generated while you use the service:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Account data:</strong> username, password hash and session records. Elsewhere does not
ask for an email address during registration.</li>
<li><strong>Workspace content:</strong> chats, AI responses, conversation titles, personas, prompt
templates, settings, memories, model choices, retry history and roleplay state.</li>
<li><strong>Uploaded images:</strong> image files plus filename, type, size, dimensions, ownership,
storage key, timestamps and cached analysis associated with your question.</li>
<li><strong>Persona market activity:</strong> published personas and creator username, collections,
favourites, ratings, reports and moderation records.</li>
<li><strong>Web-search data:</strong> the search query derived from your current message, selected
result links and snippets when you turn on web search.</li>
<li><strong>Technical and security data:</strong> session identifiers, request identifiers, routes,
response status and timing, account username for signed-in requests, and IP-based rate-limit
information held temporarily in memory.</li>
</ul>
<p>Please avoid putting sensitive personal data into chats or images unless it is genuinely necessary
for your use of the service.</p>
</section>
<section>
<h2>5. Data Retention</h2>
<p>We retain data as long as your account is active. If you request deletion, your data will be deleted
unless we must retain it for legal reasons.</p>
</section>
<section id="use">
<h2><span>03</span> How and why we use data</h2>

<p>We do not use your data for targeted advertising and do not sell it. Elsewhere does not make
decisions about you that produce legal or similarly significant effects solely by automated means.</p>
</section>
<section>
<h2>6. Data Transfers</h2>
<p>Your data may be stored or processed where our servers reside. Switzerland has an adequacy decision with
the EU, meaning transfers can occur without additional safeguards.</p>
</section>
<section id="providers">
<h2><span>04</span> AI models, image analysis and web search</h2>
<p>To generate a reply, Elsewhere sends your current message and relevant conversation context to the
configured model backend. Depending on your settings, this may also include persona instructions,
conversation summaries, stored memories, selected web results and analysis derived from images.
The final chat model does not receive image files directly; a separate configured vision model
receives the image and your question to produce an analysis.</p>
<p>If you enable web search, Elsewhere sends a query based on your current message to the configured
SearXNG service. The service may pass that query to search engines enabled by its operator. It does
not receive your full conversation, account password or persona profile from Elsewhere.</p>
<p>The deployment operator chooses and hosts or configures these services. Their location and
sub-processors can therefore vary by deployment. Contact us if you need current information about
the providers used by this instance.</p>
</section>
<section>
<h2>7. Your Rights (GDPR + Swiss rights)</h2>
<p>Depending on jurisdiction, you may have the right to:</p>
<ul>
<li>Access your data</li>
<li>Correct inaccuracies</li>
<li>Request deletion</li>
<li>Restrict or object to processing</li>
<li>Request data portability (GDPR)</li>
</ul>
<p>To exercise these rights, contact us at: <a href="mailto:kriscerni@gmail.com">kriscerni@gmail.com</a></p>
</section>
<section id="public">
<h2><span>05</span> Public persona features</h2>
<p>Your chats, uploads and private personas are not public by default. If you publish a persona, its
profile fields and your username become visible in the public market along with aggregate usage,
favourite and rating information. Reports are available to administrators for moderation.</p>
<p>You can unpublish a persona. A private copy previously collected by another user is separate and
is not automatically removed when the original is unpublished or your account is deleted.</p>
</section>
<section>
<h2>8. Data Security</h2>
<p>We implement reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your data — encryption for
passwords and secure database access.</p>
</section>
<section id="sharing">
<h2><span>06</span> When data is shared</h2>
<p>We disclose personal data only as needed:</p>
<ul>
<li>to the configured model and search services when you use those features;</li>
<li>to infrastructure providers that host or support the application under appropriate safeguards;</li>
<li>to other users when you intentionally publish a persona;</li>
<li>when required by law, a valid legal process or to protect rights, safety and service security; or</li>
<li>as part of a service reorganisation, with notice and appropriate protection where required.</li>
</ul>
</section>
<section>
<h2>9. Changes to this Policy</h2>
<p>We may update this document. Changes will be posted with a “Last updated” date.</p>
</section>
<section id="cookies">
<h2><span>07</span> Cookies and local storage</h2>
<p>Elsewhere uses an essential, HTTP-only session cookie to keep you signed in. It expires after the
configured session period or when invalidated. The browser also stores appearance and interface
preferences locally on your device. These technologies are used for service functionality, not
advertising or cross-site tracking.</p>
</section>
<section id="retention">
<h2><span>08</span> How long data is kept</h2>
<ul>
<li><strong>Account and workspace data</strong> remain until you delete individual items or your account.</li>
<li><strong>Temporary, unattached uploads</strong> are scheduled for deletion after 24 hours. Images attached to a message remain with that conversation.</li>
<li><strong>Session records</strong> expire according to the configured session lifetime and can be invalidated from Settings.</li>
<li><strong>Operational logs and in-memory rate-limit records</strong> are kept only as long as reasonably needed for security, diagnosis and operation.</li>
</ul>
<p>Deleting your account removes its workspace, attached files and published market entries from the
active service. Deletion from backups or queued file cleanup may take additional time. We may keep
limited records longer where required by law or necessary to establish, exercise or defend legal claims.</p>
</section>
<section id="transfers">
<h2><span>09</span> International transfers</h2>
<p>Data may be processed outside your country when infrastructure, model or search providers are
located elsewhere. Where required, we rely on a legally recognised transfer mechanism, such as an
adequacy decision or appropriate contractual safeguards. Contact us for details relevant to the
current deployment.</p>
</section>
<section id="security">
<h2><span>10</span> Security</h2>
<p>We use reasonable technical and organisational measures designed to protect personal data,
including hashed passwords, HTTP-only same-site session cookies, same-origin request protection,
access checks for chats and attachments, upload validation and rate limiting. No system is
completely secure, so please use a unique password and do not share it.</p>
</section>
<section id="rights">
<h2><span>11</span> Your choices and rights</h2>
<p>Depending on the law that applies to you, you may have the right to request access, correction,
deletion, restriction, portability or an objection to certain processing. You may also withdraw
consent where processing relies on consent, without affecting earlier lawful processing.</p>
<p>You can export your workspace and delete your account directly in Settings. For other requests,
email <a href="mailto:kriscerni@gmail.com">kriscerni@gmail.com</a>. We may need to verify your
identity before completing a request.</p>
<p>You may lodge a complaint with the Swiss Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner
(FDPIC) or, where the GDPR applies, your local data protection authority. We encourage you to
contact us first so we can try to resolve the concern.</p>
</section>
<section id="changes">
<h2><span>12</span> Changes and contact</h2>
<p>We may update this policy when the service, providers or applicable requirements change. We will
post the new version here, change the date above and provide additional notice for material
changes where appropriate.</p>
<p>Questions or requests can be sent to <a
href="mailto:kriscerni@gmail.com">kriscerni@gmail.com</a>.</p>
