1. Overview
This Privacy Policy explains how EthiQuill (“we”, “us”, “our”) operates our AI-assisted news discovery services without collecting personal information about you.
By using EthiQuill, you acknowledge that account access is handled through Google Sign-In and that we use limited, pseudonymous activity data to personalize the experience for readers aged nine and older.
2. Information we collect
We designed EthiQuill to function without storing traditional personal information such as your name, email address, or contact details.
- Authentication is performed by Google; EthiQuill receives a secure token and a non-identifiable user key so you can sign in.
- We store language, region, and content preferences tied to that key to deliver an English-only experience.
- We log anonymized interaction signals (for example, the categories you view and badges you click) solely to tailor recommendations.
3. How we use AI ratings
EthiQuill uses machine learning models to evaluate news credibility, complexity, and suitability for audiences aged nine and above.
We pair automated scoring with scheduled reviews and anonymized engagement signals so the platform can surface relevant stories without storing personal profiles.
- AI outputs are linked to your pseudonymous user key to personalize feeds while preserving aggregated context.
- Human reviewers audit AI decisions to correct biases and improve safeguards for younger readers.
- We flag uncertain or sensitive content and may reduce its visibility to protect learners.
4. Supporting young readers
Our platform is designed for learners aged nine and above, with safety filters that work alongside anonymized usage trends.
Parents, guardians, or educators should supervise younger users and contact us if Google Sign-In or our AI recommendations raise concerns.
5. How we share information
We do not sell, rent, or trade personal information—none is collected.
We work with trusted infrastructure providers (including Google for authentication) under agreements that restrict their ability to use pseudonymous data except to provide services to EthiQuill.
6. Your choices and rights
You stay in control of your anonymized EthiQuill experience.
- Manage access to EthiQuill through your Google Account security settings.
- Reset or delete your EthiQuill preferences by clearing your account data or contacting us.
- Adjust browser or device settings to limit cookies if you prefer not to receive personalized recommendations.
