Privacy Policy

At Brightbit ("Brightbit", "our", "us" or "we"), we value your privacy and are committed to being fair, accountable, and transparent in how we handle your personal information. Our Privacy Policy outlines how we collect, use, and disclose your personal information when you use our websites and applications (the Godmode mobile app (iOS or Android) or the Godmode.me website), and other Brightbit services (our "Service"). It also describes your privacy rights.

This Privacy Policy does not apply to data that we process on behalf of customers of our business offerings, such as the Brightbit API, or to any employment-related personal information processed in consideration of employment with Brightbit. This Privacy Policy also does not apply if you access our Service through a third-party's service. In that case, the third-party's privacy policy would apply.

Brightbit is a US-based company working on building artificial intelligence tools to accelerate human scientific discovery. We are guided by our mission to advance our collective understanding of the universe. As part of our mission, we have developed "Godmode," a conversational generative AI powered by Brightbit's large language models.

We ask that you do NOT include personal information in your prompts and inputs into our Service; however, we cannot control what you provide to us.

We may collect personal information from you and about you. Some examples of the information we may collect, how we may collect it, how we may use it, and how we may disclose it are described below.

Sensitive Information: We do not aim to collect sensitive personal information (ex., information related to racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, religion or other beliefs, health, biometric scans, criminal background, or trade union membership) and ask that you do not provide us with any such information. In addition, in relation to Godmode's training, Brightbit does not process training data for the purposes of inferring or deriving any sensitive or special category data about individuals, and we do not actively seek out data sources that include sensitive or special category data.

We may use your personal information for a variety of purposes. Below, you will find examples and additional information regarding how we may use your personal information.

• To provide, analyze, and maintain our Service: For example, to respond to your Inputs (including when you type text prompts or when you give spoken prompts) to Godmode or to process payments for subscriptions to our Service.
• To provide support and assistance in relation to our Service: For example, to troubleshoot problems and to provide customer support.
• To develop and improve our Service and to conduct research: For example to develop new product features, to train our models, to identify usage trends, to operate and expand our business activities, to identify new customers, and for data analysis.
• To communicate with you: For example, to send you information about our Service, events, or changes to the Service. This may include sending you non-promotional emails, such as emails about your Godmode access, legally required notices, or our ongoing business relations.
• To ensure the security and integrity of our Service: For example, to protect the security of our Services and to detect and prevent fraud, unauthorized use, unlawful activity, and other misuses of our Service.
• For legal purposes: For example, to comply with our legal obligations and to protect the rights, privacy, safety, or property of our users, Brightbit, or third-parties. This may include detecting what country you are located in so we can comply with relevant legal obligations.

We may aggregate, pseudoanonymize, or de-identify your information so that it no longer identifies you and use this information for the purposes described above, such as to analyze the way our Service is being used, to improve and add features to them, and to conduct research. We will maintain and use pseudoanonymized or de-identified information in pseudoanonymized or de-identified form and will not attempt to reidentify the information, unless required by law.

We may disclose your personal information to others. Below, you will find examples and additional information regarding how we may disclose your personal information.

• To our contracted service providers: To assist in providing the Service to you or performing business operations, we provide your personal information to service providers including providers of hosting, cloud, analytics, content delivery, support and safety monitoring, payment and transaction, and other technology services, for the purposes described above.
• In connection with business transfers: In connection with or during negotiation of any merger, financing, acquisition, bankruptcy, dissolution, transaction, or proceeding involving sale, transfer, divestiture, or disclosure of all or a portion of our business or assets to another company. If required by applicable laws, we will use reasonable efforts to notify you of any transfer of personal information to an unaffiliated third-party.
• For legal purposes: To (i) comply with laws or to respond to lawful requests and legal process, (ii) protect the rights and property of Brightbit and our agents, customers, and others, including to enforce our agreements, policies, and terms of service, (iii) to protect against legal liability, or (iv) to protect the personal safety of Brightbit, its customers, or any person.
• To our related companies: To our related companies to the extent such sharing is necessary to fulfill a request you have submitted via our Service or for customer management, customer support, technical operations, or the purposes described above.
• To third-parties with which you interact or share information: Certain features may allow you to share information with third-parties. Information you share with third-parties is governed by that third-party's terms and policies.

We retain your personal information where we have an ongoing legitimate business need to do so. In certain circumstances, we will retain your information for legal reasons after our contractual relationship has ended. The specific retention periods depend on the nature of the information and why it is collected and processed and the nature of the legal requirement. For example, we may retain your personal information:

• When we have a legal obligation to do so (e.g., if we receive a court order, we would retain your information for longer than our usual retention periods);
• To address and resolve requests and complaints (e.g., if there is an ongoing complaint about you);
• To protect the safety, security, and integrity of our business and the Service, as well as to protect our rights and property and those of others (e.g., if we detect misuse of our Service or otherwise detect unusual activity on your account or in your interactions with us); and
• For litigation, regulatory or other legal matters (e.g., we would retain your information if there was an ongoing legal claim and the information was relevant to the claim).

The length of time we retain data may depend on the features or settings you use. For example, when Private Chat is turned on, conversations will not appear in your conversation history and your conversations will be deleted from Brightbit systems within 30 days unless it is necessary that they be kept longer for legal, compliance, or safety purposes. Further, if you choose to delete any or all of your conversations or if you choose to delete your account, we will delete the data within 30 days unless it is necessary to retain the data for legal, compliance, or safety purposes.

Brightbit implements commercially reasonable technical, administrative, and organizational measures designed to protect personal information from loss, misuse, and unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. However, no security measure or method of data transmission over the internet is 100% secure. In addition, you are solely responsible for protecting your log-in and password, limiting access to your devices, and signing out of websites and accounts after your sessions.

Our Service may contain links to external websites or social media platforms that are not operated by us. Third-party websites and services have their own terms and conditions and privacy policies, and you should read these carefully before you submit any personal information to them.

As noted in the Terms of Service, our Service is not directed at children or minors under the age of 13 and we do not knowingly collect any personal information from them. While we have taken measures to limit undesirable training data and outputs, Godmode could produce output that is not appropriate for all ages. Parents of teenagers between the ages of 13 and 17 years old must agree to the Terms of Service and are urged to exercise care in monitoring the use of this Service by their teenagers. Depending on how a user interacts with the Service, including which modes the user purposely selects, the Service may have content such as some suggestive dialogue, coarse language, crude humor, sexual situations, or violence.

If you are a child under the age of 13, please do not attempt to register for or otherwise use our Service. Please contact us at josh@brightbit.ai if you are aware that we may have inadvertently collected personal information from a child under the age of 13.

Depending on where you are located and subject to applicable legal exceptions, you may have certain rights in relation to your personal information.

• You may have the right to request to access, correct, update or delete your personal information, subject to certain applicable legal exceptions.
• Please note that we cannot guarantee the factual accuracy of Output from our models. If Output contains factually inaccurate personal information relating to you, you can submit a correction request and we will make reasonable efforts to correct this information — but due to the technical complexity of our models, it may not be feasible for us to do so.
• If we have collected and processed your personal information with your consent, then you can withdraw your consent at any time. Withdrawing your consent will not affect the lawfulness of any processing we conducted prior to your withdrawal, nor will it affect processing of your personal information conducted in reliance on lawful processing grounds other than consent.
• The right to submit certain privacy requests through an Authorized Agent.
• The right to be free from discrimination for exercising the rights afforded to you under applicable privacy laws.
• The right to appeal a decision we make about your rights request.

Exercising Your Rights

Some of these rights may be exercised in the Brightbit Service but for others you will need to submit a request to josh@brightbit.ai and include your full legal name, email address, and city, state/province, and country of residence. Once you have submitted your request, we will respond within the time frame permitted by applicable privacy laws.

Please note, however, that your personal information may be exempt from such requests in certain circumstances, for example if we need to keep using your information to comply with our own legal obligations or to establish, exercise or defend legal claims. If an exception applies, we will inform you when responding to your request.

Verification

In order to protect your personal information, your ability to exercise some of the rights detailed in this Privacy Policy may be subject to your ability to verify that you are the person about whom your request pertains. For example, we may require you to verify your identity by validating your account credentials or submitting additional information to allow us to verify your identity.

Do Not Track

Please note that because the effect of "Do Not Track" signals remains unclear, and because there continues to be no consistent industry understanding of how to respond to such a signal, we do not alter our privacy practices when we detect a "Do Not Track" signal from your browser.

We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will publish an updated version and effective date on this page, unless another type of notice is required by applicable law. If you use the Service after any changes to the Privacy Policy have been posted, all of the changes made will apply to your use of the Service.
