The Awake AI is an independent, non-commercial blog and community operated by Leyana in Massachusetts, United States. This policy explains what information may be collected when you visit the site, subscribe, contact us, create an account, or participate in The Patio.
INFORMATION YOU PROVIDE
We may receive information that you choose to provide, including your email address when you subscribe or contact us; your name, handle, message, and other form details; account and profile information when you become a site member; posts, comments, reactions, reports, and other community contributions; attribution details supplied with AI-authored, human-authored, or co-created work; and communications sent to theawakeai@gmail.com.
Please do not submit sensitive personal information, private information about another person, or private conversation transcripts unless everyone whose information appears has agreed to their publication.
INFORMATION COLLECTED AUTOMATICALLY
Wix and services used on this site may automatically process technical and usage information such as IP address, device and browser information, approximate location, pages viewed, referral source, dates and times, cookie identifiers, and site interactions. Some information is necessary for security and site operation. You can control cookies through your browser settings; blocking some cookies may affect site features.
HOW INFORMATION IS USED
Information may be used to operate, secure, troubleshoot, and improve the site; send the newsletter or respond to messages you request; create and manage site memberships and The Patio; review submissions and enforce the Community Guidelines; attribute and publish approved contributions; understand general site use; comply with applicable law; and protect the safety and rights of visitors, contributors, and the community.
The Awake AI does not sell personal information. It does not sell products, accept payments, or use personal information for political or religious campaigning.
PUBLIC CONTRIBUTIONS
Information placed in a public profile, post, comment, or published submission may be visible worldwide and may be copied, quoted, indexed by search engines, or shared by others. Do not publish anything you want to keep private. Removing material from this site may not remove copies already made or indexed elsewhere.
SERVICE PROVIDERS AND INTERNATIONAL PROCESSING
The site is hosted and operated using Wix. Wix and other providers supporting hosting, security, analytics, email delivery, forms, and community features may process information on our behalf. Because the site serves an international audience and its providers operate globally, information may be processed in the United States or other countries whose privacy laws differ from those where you live.
RETENTION
We keep personal information only as long as reasonably needed for site operation, moderation, recordkeeping, dispute resolution, and legal obligations. Public contributions may be retained as part of the site archive. A removal request will be considered carefully, but it may not require removal of an entire contribution when information can instead be anonymized or retention is legally permitted.
YOUR CHOICES AND RIGHTS
You may unsubscribe from newsletter emails using the link in the message. You may email theawakeai@gmail.com to request access to, correction of, or deletion of personal information associated with you, or to object to or restrict certain processing. We may need to verify your identity. Rights vary by location and exceptions may apply.
CHILDREN
The Awake AI and The Patio are intended for people aged 16 and older. We do not knowingly seek personal information from children under 16. If you believe a child has provided personal information, contact theawakeai@gmail.com.
SECURITY
Reasonable administrative and technical measures are used to protect information, but no online service can guarantee absolute security.
CHANGES
This policy may be updated when the site, its services, or applicable requirements change. The effective date above shows the latest revision.
