Privacy in plain language.

HowAICite stores only the information needed to run the workspace, preserve evidence and respond to pilot requests.

What we collect

We store account usernames and protected password credentials; websites and pages submitted for audits; saved prompts; AI answers, URLs and measurement context submitted to Evidence Lab; workspace activity; and the contact, company and use-case details submitted through the pilot form. Standard server logs may include IP address, user agent and request metadata.

How we use it

We use this data to provide reports, protect accounts, diagnose service problems, improve the product and contact people who request pilot access. We do not sell submitted workspace or contact data.

Workspace controls

Signed-in users can export their workspace data from Account. Reports can be deleted from their report page. Pilot submissions made while signed in are included in the account export. To request correction or deletion of other data, email hello@howaicite.com.

Security and limitations

Production uses encrypted HTTPS connections, hashed passwords, hashed session tokens, tenant-scoped queries and daily local backups. No internet service can guarantee absolute security. Backups currently remain on the same server and may retain deleted records temporarily.

Third-party websites

Audits fetch public pages you submit. External links and AI platforms have their own privacy practices. Automated AI-provider and payment integrations are not currently enabled.
