This Privacy Policy explains how ChronoCut collects, uses, stores, shares, and protects information when you use our AI-assisted story engineering platform. ChronoCut is designed for projects that may include research notes, evidence, timelines, scripts, verified sources, exports, and production materials, so we treat privacy and data handling as core product responsibilities.
We collect account information such as your name if provided, email address, display name, authentication provider details, profile photo if provided by Google or Apple, signup consent records, subscription status, billing metadata, and support communications. We collect usage and device information such as logins, browser and device details, session activity, feature usage, workflow events, diagnostics, and security signals. We also collect project content you create or upload, including project names, scripts, notes, evidence entries, attachments, timelines, source URLs, verified-source results, exports, workflow history, team membership, and related metadata.
2. Information We Collect
3. User Uploads, Evidence, and Scripts
ChronoCut may store and process materials you submit for your projects, including sensitive research or production information. You control what you upload. Do not upload confidential, privileged, illegal, stolen, improperly obtained, or unnecessary sensitive materials. You are responsible for securing permissions and redacting information where appropriate.
4. How We Use Information
We use information to operate ChronoCut, authenticate users, save and sync projects, generate AI-assisted outputs, manage evidence and attachments, provide verified-source functionality, process subscriptions, enforce usage limits, secure accounts, prevent abuse, troubleshoot failed workflows, provide customer support, improve reliability, and comply with legal obligations.
ChronoCut uses AI systems, trusted infrastructure providers, and related processors to analyze, structure, summarize, rewrite, verify, and generate project outputs based on the material you provide. Your inputs may be processed through those providers as necessary to deliver ChronoCut features. AI outputs may be inaccurate or incomplete, and you are responsible for reviewing and verifying them before use. We do not treat AI output as legal, journalistic, investigative, or professional advice.
5. AI Processing
6. Service Providers and Third Parties
We may share information with service providers that help us operate ChronoCut, such as authentication providers, cloud infrastructure, database and storage systems, AI processing providers, analytics tools, error monitoring, email tools, and payment processors such as Stripe. These providers process information only as needed to provide their services to us.
7. Payments and Billing
Payment information is handled by third-party payment processors. ChronoCut may receive billing metadata such as transaction status, subscription tier, and masked card details, but never stores raw payment credentials.
