• Learning notes, ideas, and reflections you create
• Your city or general area (to give you relevant local recommendations)

How We Use Your Information

AI and Your Data

Glia uses AI to help you learn better. Here's how it works:

• We send your learning content to AI services (like OpenAI) to create personalized responses
• These AI companies can only use your data to help Glia work - they can't train their models on your personal content
• All AI responses are created just for you based on your learning style and interests

Sharing Your Information

We don't sell your data. We only share it with:

• Service providers who help us run Glia (cloud storage, AI services, customer support)
• Legal authorities if required by law
• No one else unless you specifically ask us to

All our service providers must keep your data safe and can only use it to help provide Glia's services.

• Under 13: Your parent or guardian needs to create your account and manage your privacy settings
• All young people: You have the right to delete content you created when you were younger

Keeping Your Data Safe

We protect your information with:

• Encryption when storing and sending your data
• Secure servers and regular security checks
• Limited access - only necessary team members can see your data

No online service is completely secure, but we work hard to protect your information.

How Long We Keep Your Data

• While you use Glia: We keep your data to provide the service
• After you delete your account: We remove your data within 30 days
• Some anonymous usage statistics might be kept longer to improve the app

Data Storage

Your data might be stored in different countries (like the US) where our service providers operate. We make sure these providers protect your data according to strong privacy standards.

Changes to This Policy

If we change this policy, we'll let you know through the app or by email before the changes take effect.
