We are committed to transparency regarding the use of your data, especially concerning the training of artificial intelligence models.

• SelfProse.com / QRClip LLC Practices: We do not use the content of your Input or the AI-generated Output to train any artificial intelligence models developed, maintained, or used internally by SelfProse.com or QRClip LLC. Your content is processed transiently only to fulfill your specific service request as outlined in our Terms and Conditions.
• Third-Party AI Model Providers & Intermediaries:
  • SelfProse.com acts as an interface, utilizing intermediary services (like OpenRouter) to provide access to various third-party AI models. Your Input is processed by these external services to generate the Output.
  • The policies and practices regarding the use of data submitted to these third parties, including whether your Input content is used to train or improve their AI models, are governed strictly by the respective terms of service and privacy policies of the intermediary service (e.g., OpenRouter) and the ultimate third-party AI model provider.
  • QRClip LLC does not control the internal data handling or model training practices of these independent third-party services.
  • We strongly encourage you to review the relevant privacy policies and terms of the intermediary service and the specific third-party AI model provider you choose to use via our platform. This will help you understand how they may handle and potentially use your data. Links to third-party policies are provided where available in Section 6 ('How We Share Information').

8. Protecting Your Information

We are committed to safeguarding the security of your personal information. SelfProse.com employs security standards consistent with those used by QRClip.io, our secure file sharing service, designed to protect your data. Our security measures include:

• Encryption: We utilize Transport Layer Security (TLS) encryption to protect data transmitted between your browser and our servers.
• Network Security: All our servers are protected by robust firewalls. These firewalls are configured with a principle of least privilege, meaning only the minimum necessary network ports are opened to provide the service, reducing the potential surface for unauthorized access.
• Industry Practices: We follow generally accepted industry standards and practices to protect the personal information submitted to us, both during transmission and once we receive it (primarily metadata, as content is processed transiently).

Despite these measures, it's important to understand that no method of transmission over the Internet, or method of electronic storage, is 100% secure. Therefore, while we strive to use commercially acceptable and robust means to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.

We reiterate that we will not sell, distribute, or lease your personal information to third parties unless we have your explicit permission or are required by law to do so.
