Privacy Policy - AI Text Detector

Last Updated: January 2025

Introduction

AI Text Detector (“we,” “us,” “our,” or the “Company”) operates the website located at aitextdetector.ai (the “Service”). This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you visit our website and use our AI text detection services. We are committed to protecting your personal information and your right to privacy.

Please read this Privacy Policy carefully. By accessing or using our Service, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by the terms of this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree with the terms of this Privacy Policy, please do not access or use our Service.

Information We Collect

Personal Information You Provide

We may collect personal information that you voluntarily provide to us when you register for an account, subscribe to a paid plan, contact us with inquiries, or otherwise interact with the Service. This information may include:

Name and email address when creating an account or contacting us
Billing information (processed securely through third-party payment processors) when purchasing premium plans
Communication content when you reach out to us via email or contact forms
Any other information you choose to provide to us voluntarily

Text Submissions

When you use our AI text detection tool, you submit text content for analysis. We want to be completely transparent about how we handle these submissions:

Text submissions are NOT stored permanently. Text you submit for analysis is processed in real time and is not retained in any database or persistent storage system after your analysis is complete.
Text submissions are NOT used for AI model training. We do not use the text you submit to train, fine-tune, or improve any machine learning models, whether our own or those of any third party.
Text is processed in memory only. Your submitted text is held in server memory exclusively for the duration of the analysis process. Once the detection results are generated and returned to you, the submitted text is immediately purged from memory.
Text is deleted after analysis. We do not retain copies, logs, or records of the text content you submit. The analysis results displayed to you exist only in your browser session.

This approach reflects our core commitment to privacy: your text is yours, and we have no interest in retaining or exploiting it.

We implement appropriate technical and organizational security measures designed to protect your personal information against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. These measures include:

Encryption of data in transit using TLS/SSL protocols
Regular security assessments and vulnerability testing
Access controls that limit employee access to personal data on a need-to-know basis
