Information from Other Sources

We may receive information from trusted partners (such as fraud prevention or security providers) to help protect the Services and users and from marketing vendors who provide us with information about potential customers of our business services.

2. How We Use Personal Data

We use Personal Data for the following purposes:

• To send content to third party AI providers, for example to provide an AI generated response from content you provide.

Important Note: We make every effort to use AI providers who’s terms do not use Content for training. Because these are 3rd party vendors, these terms can change and we cannot guarantee your data will not be used for training AI models. If we become aware that a vendor we use is using Content for training, we evaluate our relationship with that vendor and look for alternatives.

De-identified and Aggregated Data

We may de-identify or aggregate Personal Data so it no longer identifies you and use it for analytics, research, and service improvement. We do not attempt to re-identify such data unless required by law.

3. AI Features and AI-Related Content

Ask Fulton provides an interactive AI-powered interface for educational and informational purposes only.

Content generated by AI should never be used to make decisions that produce legal, financial, healthcare, or similarly significant effects.

We do not allow AI providers to independently market to you and do not use AI interactions to train publicly available AI models unless explicitly disclosed.

4. Disclosure of Personal Data

We may disclose Personal Data to:

• Service Providers - To assist us in meeting business operations needs and to perform certain services and functions, we disclose Personal Data to vendors and service providers, includingHosting, analytics, email delivery, payment processing, AI processing, and customer support providers under contractual safeguards
• Business Transfers - Successors or affiliates in connection with mergers, acquisitions, or asset sales
• Legal and Safety Purposes - When required by law or to protect rights, safety, and security
• Affiliates - Entities under common control with Ask Cliff, consistent with this Policy
• Advertising Partners - We share limited information with advertising partners (such as Meta and Google) for advertising measurement and cross-context behavioral advertising. Unlike our service providers, these partners may use the information for their own purposes, so this is considered a "sale"/"share" of Personal Data under U.S. state privacy laws. You can opt out by following the instructions listed in the "Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information” section of this policy.
• Other Users and Third Parties You Interact or Share Information With: Certain Services allow you to interact or share information with other users or third parties.

Information you share with third-party partners is governed by their own terms and privacy policies, and you should make sure you understand those terms and policies before sharing information with them.

5. Data Retention

We’ll retain your Personal Data for only as long as we need in order to provide our Services to you, or for other legitimate business purposes such as resolving disputes, safety and security reasons, or complying with our legal obligations. How long we retain Personal Data depends on the type of data, how we use it, and in many cases your settings:

• Information we retain until you delete it: Some of our Services allow you to delete Personal Data stored in your account. For example, you can delete specific, or all, of your Ask Fulton conversations, or delete your account. Once you choose to delete Personal Data, we will remove it from our systems within 30 days unless we need to retain it for longer as described below, or it has already been de-identified and disassociated from your account.
• Information we retain for longer for legitimate security, safety, or legal reasons: In some cases, we need to retain Personal Data for longer even after you delete it, for example because we are legally required to, to address fraud and abuse, for security reasons, or for financial record-keeping purposes. For instance:
• If specific Content, or your account, is banned because of violations of our terms of service we may retain that data for to protect our services from fraud, abuse, or other violations of our policies.If we are legally required to retain your data (for instance, we receive a lawful subpoena) then we may retain it for the duration of the relevant legal or regulatory obligation.When we are a party to a financial transaction (for instance, when we process your payment for a Ask Fulton Pro account) we may retain payment and transaction related information to meet our accounting, dispute resolution, and regulatory compliance purposes.When you ask us to delete your Personal Data, we retain the audit record of the erasure request to be able to verify that we have complied with the request.

In determining these retention periods, we consider a number of factors, such as:

• Our purpose for processing the Personal Data (such as whether we need to retain it to provide our Services);
• The amount, nature, and sensitivity of the information;
• The potential risk of harm from unauthorized use or disclosure;
• Any legal requirements that we are subject to.

6. Data Controls

Our Services provide you with a number of controls over your Personal Data and how it is used and retained. You can always change these settings in your account settings. These include the following controls:

We do not use or disclose sensitive personal information (such as account log-in credentials) for purposes that would give you a right to limit its use, and we never share it for advertising.

Important note about accuracy: Services like Ask Fulton generate responses by reading a user’s request and, in response, predicting the words most likely to appear next. In some cases, the words most likely to appear next may not be the most factually accurate. For this reason, you should not rely on the factual accuracy of output from our models.

8. Children

The Services are intended for adults only. We do not knowingly collect Personal Data from children. If you believe a child has provided data, contact us and we will take appropriate action.

9. Security

We implement commercially reasonable technical, administrative, and organizational measures designed to protect Personal Data from loss, misuse, and unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. However, no Internet or email transmission is ever fully secure or error free. Therefore, you should take special care in deciding what information you provide to the Services. In addition, we are not responsible for circumvention of any privacy settings or security measures contained on the Service, or third-party websites.

10. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will post the updated version with a revised "Last Updated" date on this page. Continued use of the Services constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.

Some US state privacy laws require specific disclosures. The following table provides additional information about the categories of Personal Data we collect and how we use and disclose that information. You can also read more about the Personal Data we collect in the sections above above.

12. Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information

To measure and improve our advertising, we share limited information with advertising partners (such as Meta and Google) for cross-context behavioral advertising. Under California law (CCPA/CPRA) and similar U.S. state laws, this is a "sale" or "share" of Personal Data.

What we share is limited to identifiers, the advertising events you trigger, your device and connection information, and advertising cookies. We do not share the contents of your chats, lessons, or documents. We do not knowingly sell or share the Personal Data of consumers under 18, and apart from this advertising measurement we do not sell your Personal Data or build personal profiles unrelated to our Services.

You can opt out of this "sale"/"share" at any time:

• Marketing site (askfulton.com): the "Your Privacy Choices" link in the footer.
• App (app.askfulton.com): Account → Privacy → "Don't share data with advertising partners."
