Welcome to AI Actions ("the App"), a powerful tool that brings Generative AI capabilities to iOS Shortcuts. We are committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring the security of your personal information.

AI Actions is designed to enhance your iOS Shortcuts experience by integrating advanced AI models such as ChatGPT, DALL-E, and Perplexity. Our app allows you to create GenAI-powered actions within Shortcuts, enabling you to generate lists, dictionaries, boolean responses, and images using these cutting-edge AI technologies.

This Privacy Policy is intended to help you understand:

Our commitment to privacy extends to all aspects of our service, including the option for users to bring their own OpenAI API key for unlimited use of certain features. We strive to be transparent about our data practices and to provide you with meaningful control over your information.

As we continue to improve our app and potentially introduce new features, we may update this Privacy Policy. We encourage you to review it periodically to stay informed about how we protect your personal information.

6. Data Security

At AI Actions, we take the security of your data seriously. We implement and maintain appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect your information from unauthorized access, accidental loss, or destruction. Here's how we safeguard your data:

6.1 Data Encryption

  • We use industry-standard encryption protocols to protect data in transit between your device and our servers.
  • Any sensitive information, such as your OpenAI API key (if provided), is encrypted before transmission.

6.2 Minimal Data Storage

  • We follow a principle of data minimization, collecting and retaining only the information necessary to provide our services.
  • User inputs for AI-generated content are not stored after the request is processed.

6.3 Secure Infrastructure

  • Our app and its backend services are hosted on secure, industry-leading cloud platforms with robust security measures in place.
  • We regularly update our systems and software to protect against known vulnerabilities.

6.4 Access Controls

  • We restrict access to personal information to AI Actions employees, contractors, and agents who need that information to operate, develop, or improve our app.
  • These individuals are bound by strict confidentiality obligations and may be subject to discipline, including termination, if they fail to meet these obligations.

6.5 Regular Security Audits

  • We conduct regular security assessments and audits to ensure our security measures remain effective.

6.6 Third-Party Security

  • We carefully select third-party service providers and require them to use appropriate security measures to protect your information.

6.7 Incident Response

  • In the event of a data breach, we have procedures in place to respond promptly and notify affected users as required by applicable law.

While we implement safeguards designed to protect your information, no security system is impenetrable and due to the inherent nature of the Internet, we cannot guarantee that data, during transmission through the Internet or while stored on our systems or otherwise in our care, is absolutely safe from intrusion by others.

We encourage users to take steps to keep their data safe, including choosing strong passwords and keeping their device software up to date.

If you have reason to believe that your interaction with us is no longer secure (for example, if you feel that the security of your account has been compromised), please immediately notify us of the problem by contacting us using the details provided in the "Contact Us" section of this Privacy Policy.

6. Data Security

At AI Actions, we take the security of your data seriously. We implement and maintain appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect your information from unauthorized access, loss, misuse, or alteration. Our security practices include:

  • Encryption: We use industry-standard encryption protocols to protect data in transit.
  • Secure Storage: Any data we retain is stored in secure, access-controlled environments.
  • Limited Access: Only authorized personnel have access to our systems, and access is granted on a need-to-know basis.

While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your personal information, no method of transmission over the Internet or method of electronic storage is 100% secure. Therefore, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.

We encourage users to take their own precautions to protect their data, such as using strong passwords and not sharing personal API keys.

We encourage you to review this Privacy Policy periodically to stay informed about our data practices and your privacy rights.

Your continued use of AI Actions after any changes to this Privacy Policy constitutes your acceptance of the updated policy. If you do not agree with the changes, you should discontinue using our services.
