10. Data Security

10.1  We implement appropriate technical and organisational measures (TOMs) to protect your Personal Data against accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, unauthorised disclosure, or access. Our security measures include:
Encryption of all data in transit using TLS 1.2 or higher (HTTPS);
Encryption of passwords using industry-standard one-way hashing algorithms (e.g., bcrypt);
Pseudonymisation and tokenisation of certain categories of Personal Data where appropriate;
Role-based access controls limiting data access to authorised personnel with a genuine business need;
Multi-factor authentication (MFA) for internal systems and administrative access;
Regular security assessments, penetration testing, and vulnerability management;
Contractual data protection and security obligations for all sub-processors;
Incident response procedures aligned with GDPR breach notification requirements.
10.2  You can also help protect your Account by choosing a strong, unique password, keeping your credentials confidential, and not sharing your Account with others. Please notify us immediately at eliten@support-team.app if you suspect any unauthorised access to your Account.
10.3  No method of transmission over the internet or method of electronic storage is completely secure. While we use commercially reasonable security measures, we cannot guarantee the absolute security of your Personal Data. In the event of a Personal Data breach that is likely to result in a risk to your rights and freedoms, we will notify you and the competent supervisory authority as required under Articles 33–34 GDPR (within 72 hours of becoming aware of the breach, where feasible).

11. AI Processing and User Content

11.1  When you submit User Content to the Service (e.g., text for summarising, rewriting, or translation), that content is transmitted to our AI model infrastructure and/or third-party AI model providers for the purpose of generating your requested Output. The following principles apply:
User Content is processed solely and exclusively to provide you with the AI Output you requested;
We do not use your User Content to train, fine-tune, or improve AI models - neither our own nor those of third-party providers - without your explicit, separately obtained consent;
All AI processing requests are routed through our own backend infrastructure; there is no direct connection between your device and third-party AI providers;
AI model providers processing User Content on our behalf are bound by DPAs that expressly prohibit them from using the data for their own model training or any other purpose;
User Content is not stored beyond the current active session unless you explicitly save work within the Service.
11.2  We recommend that you do not submit sensitive categories of Personal Data (such as health information, financial account details, government-issued identification numbers, or biometric data) as User Content, as the Service is not designed to handle such data and doing so unnecessarily increases risk.

12. Interest-Based Advertising

12.1  We and our advertising partners may use cookies and similar tracking technologies to collect data about your activity on the Service and on other websites and apps over time, in order to show you advertisements that may be of interest to you.

Install a browser opt-out extension or ad blocker.
12.3  Opting out does not mean you will see no ads at all; it means the ads you see will not be personalised based on your browsing behaviour. You will continue to see contextual or generic advertising.

We are not responsible for the content, data practices, or privacy policies of any linked third-party service. We encourage you to review the privacy policy of any third-party service before sharing your Personal Data with it.
14.2  Our Service uses Stripe for payment processing. When you make a payment, you are also interacting with Stripe's platform, which is governed by Stripe's own Privacy Policy at https://stripe.com/privacy. We encourage you to review it.

15.3  Your continued use of the Service after the effective date of any updated Privacy Policy constitutes your acknowledgment of the changes. If you do not agree with the updated Policy, you should stop using the Service and may request deletion of your Account and Personal Data.
