Privacy Policy

EQUALA, operated by DU-RENA LLC (30 North Gould Street, Sheridan, WY 82801, USA), is committed to protecting your privacy. This policy outlines how we collect, use, and protect your data during our stealth mode phase and beyond.

1. Data We Collect

We collect only the minimum information necessary to operate the platform:

• Email address and basic account information for registration
• Project data and collaboration history you create on the platform
• Usage data for platform security and performance monitoring

We do not collect unnecessary personal data and do not sell your data to third parties.

2. AI Ecosystem & Data Processing

EQUALA operates as a multi-model ecosystem designed for maximum flexibility and privacy. Data processing occurs through the following channels:

• Integrated Models: We utilize Google Gemini (via Google Cloud APIs) to power core collaboration features. Data is handled according to their professional privacy standards and is never used for third-party training.
  • Google Cloud / Gemini: cloud.google.com/privacy
• Proprietary Models: The platform features two native EQUALA models designed for specialized tasks. Data processed by these models remains strictly within our secure infrastructure (excluding Secret Rooms, where data is encrypted client-side and inaccessible to us).
• User-Provided AI (Bring Your Own AI): Users may integrate their own external AI models for personal or local use. In these cases, DU-RENA LLC acts only as the interface provider and has no access to, visibility over, or responsibility for the data exchanged.
• Third-Party Enterprise Models: External companies may apply to have their specialized models hosted as selectable options within the platform. Such models will be clearly labeled and subject to the specific privacy terms of the providing entity.

3. Zero-Knowledge Protection (Secret Rooms)

Content created in "Secret Rooms" is encrypted client-side before transmission. DU-RENA LLC does not have access to the content of these communications. Encryption keys are held exclusively by the room participants. Even in the event of a legal request, we cannot access Secret Room content.

4. Immutable History

By design, EQUALA maintains an immutable record of all project activity to protect creator rights and resolve attribution disputes. This is a core platform feature. Users are informed of this policy upon registration and by accepting these terms.

5. Cookies

We use only essential cookies required for platform functionality, such as session management and security tokens. We do not use tracking or advertising cookies.

6. Data Retention

Account data is retained for the duration of your account. Project history is retained as part of our immutable record policy. Upon account deletion, personal identifiers are removed from our systems within 30 days, except where retention is required by law.

7. Your Rights (GDPR & Global)

Regardless of your location, you have the right to access, correct, or request deletion of your personal data, object to or restrict certain processing, and data portability. To exercise any of these rights, contact us at info@equala.ai.

8. Security

We implement industry-standard security measures including encryption in transit (TLS), encryption at rest, and access controls. Secret Room content uses end-to-end encryption with client-side keys.

9. Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy as the platform evolves. Significant changes will be communicated via email or platform notification. Continued use of the platform after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
