For more information, please review the Google Privacy Policy.
The way Google handles your data is determined by the type of Google API key you provide. It is your responsibility to understand the terms associated with your specific key.
For Paid Tier API Keys (e.g., "Pay-as-you-go"): If you use a key from a paid Google AI plan, Google's enterprise privacy terms typically apply. According to these policies, Google processes your data solely to provide the AI response and does not use your content to train their models. You can review their enterprise commitments at the Google Cloud Privacy & Security page.
For Free Tier API Keys: If you use a key from the standard free tier, Google's general terms apply. These terms state that Google may use your content (prompts and generated text) to provide, improve, and develop their products and services, which can include training their AI models. You can review these terms at the Google Gemini API Terms of Service.
Regardless of your key type, your content is never stored on NoosphereWriter's servers. We continue to strongly advise against submitting sensitive personal information (e.g., health or financial data) to the AI features.
We use cookies and similar technologies to provide and improve our Service.
We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect our Service.
