Last updated 06-18-2024

Our Commitment to Privacy and Ethical Data Use

At Firespawn Studios, we value your trust and are committed to upholding rigorous standards of data privacy and ethical AI and product design practices. We want to assure you that we take your privacy seriously and have implemented measures to handle your data responsibly and transparently.

We Respect Your Data

We do not engage in the selling of personal data. Your information is used solely to provide and improve your experience with our products, including Wickson.

Your Conversations Stay Private

We prioritize the confidentiality of your interactions with Wickson. Conversations are not stored or used beyond what is necessary for your current session.

We Exclude Personal Data from Training

Personal prompts and conversations with our AI will not be used to train our AI models. Our development efforts are supported by synthetic and publicly available datasets that do not compromise your privacy.

Your Data's Security is Our Focus

While no system can guarantee absolute security, we are dedicated to employing robust, enterprise-grade security protocols (such as encryption) to safeguard your data. We continuously work to protect your information with the same level of diligence we apply to our own.

International Data Processing

We process data in compliance with the relevant data protection laws in the jurisdictions where we operate, including the United States, Canada, and Mexico.

Data Retention

We retain your data only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, or as required by law. We will retain data that is important for servicing your Firespawn account and subscriptions to our products.

User Rights

You have the right to access, correct, or delete your personal information, and to object to the processing of your data.

Data Breach Notification

In the event of a data breach, we will notify affected users in a timely manner, in line with legal requirements and best practices.

Third-Party Data Sharing

We do not share your personal data with third parties without your consent, except where required by law.

Children's Privacy

We comply with all applicable laws protecting children's privacy, including the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) in the United States, and do not knowingly collect personal information from children under the legal age.

Marketing Communication Choices

You can opt out of receiving marketing communications from us at any time.

Service Improvement

We may analyze aggregated and anonymized usage data to refine our algorithms and user experience. This data excludes personally identifiable information, the contents of your conversations with Wickson, and any documents or media you upload.

Cookies or Session Data Retention

We will only keep your session data valid for 2 hours before Wickson will prompt you to refresh the session or log out. Any data you choose for Wickson to hold on to will remain, such as those documents you have chosen to upload into the AI's knowledgebase. The Service(s) may also utilize functional, secure encrypted cookies stored in your browser for session management as well as use embedded analytics tools that help us gain insight into the functioning and performance metrics of our sites and Service(s). These third party analytics services may include, but are not limited to Google Analytics and Microsoft Clarity.

Analytics Data Collection and Use

Firespawn Studios is dedicated to enhancing your user experience while upholding our commitment to privacy and data protection. To this end, we collect only the analytics data across our products and services which we feel is necessary to provide you with and improve our services. Our minimal data collection process enables us to provide you with the services you enjoy using, while allowing us to make constant improvements and optimizations to our services and ensure market relevance and proper adherence to legal standards, while respecting user privacy.

For instance, while other AI services may train models on your user data like the prompts you send, or the conversations you have, or even sell the data to third parties, Firespawn Studios/Wickson does not train AI's on your prompts or the contents of your files, and we do not sell any of your information to third parties. We gather anonymized insights into feature usage, performance metrics, and error reports to continuously refine the functionality and stability of our service.

User feedback, including suggestions and overall service experience, is a cornerstone of our development process, though we will not monetarily compensate you for incorporated user feedback. We also closely monitor onboarding interactions to smooth the transition for new users and collect aggregate device and browser usage data to ensure consistent service accessibility and efficiency.

Our engagement metrics provide a comprehensive view of user interaction patterns, including frequency, duration, and conversion paths. This data informs our content and feature development, as well as our marketing strategies. We track retention rates and analyze the factors contributing to user churn to enhance service satisfaction and ensure we spend our time wisely on features our customers will enjoy.

We collect and summarize survey responses and support interactions, using these insights to improve user assistance and reduce future inquiry rates. High-level trends in payment methods, subscription preferences, and referral sources are analyzed to tailor our offerings and marketing efforts to better meet your needs. All analytics data is processed with robust security measures in place, and we employ anonymization techniques to prevent the identification of individual users. By engaging with Firespawn Studios, Firespawn.ai, and/or Wickson services, you acknowledge and consent to the collection and use of this analytics data as detailed in this policy. We may update this privacy policy to reflect changes in our practices or applicable laws. Significant changes will be communicated to you in a timely manner. For any inquiries regarding our data collection practices or to exercise your data protection rights, please contact our data protection officer at [contact email/information].
