1. Introduction

This Privacy Policy explains how neubot ("we", "us", or "our") collects, uses, and discloses your personal information when you use our service. We are committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring you understand how your data is handled.

2. Service Description

neubot is a simple semantic parsing based chatbot that uses natural language processing techniques rather than large language models (LLMs) or AI. It provides tools for time, date, search, weather, Spotify controls and similar utilities through a clean user interface.

3. Information We Collect

We collect the following types of information:

• Account Information: When you create an account using OAuth providers (Google or GitHub), we receive basic profile information such as your name, email, and profile picture.
• Usage Information: We maintain minimal usage data required to enforce rate limits and improve functionality. We do not track your queries for profiling or analytics purposes.
• Service Integration Data: If you connect third-party services like Spotify, we store access tokens securely to enable those integrations.

4. How We Use Your Information

We use your information to:

• Provide the semantic parsing service and tools you request
• Process your queries and provide appropriate responses
• Enforce rate limits and manage your account
• Connect to authorized third-party services

We do not:

• Use your data to train AI models
• Keep logs of your queries for tracking or profiling
• Sell or share your data with third parties for advertising

5. Third-Party Services

We may use third-party services to provide functionality:

• OpenWeather for weather data
• Brave Search for search results
• OAuth providers for authentication
• Spotify (if connected) for music integration

Each third-party service has its own privacy policy governing how they handle your data.

6. Data Retention

We retain minimal usage data necessary for providing our service and maintaining rate limits. You can request deletion of your account data by contacting us.

7. Your Privacy Rights

Depending on your location, you may have rights to:

• Access your personal information
• Correct inaccurate information
• Delete your personal information
• Object to or restrict processing of your information

8. Security

We implement appropriate security measures to protect your information, including encryption for sensitive data like access tokens. However, no method of transmission over the internet is completely secure.

9. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy occasionally. We will notify you of significant changes by posting a prominent notice on our service.
