# Privacy Policy By the SelGPT team. Updated October 30, 2026. Source: https://selgpt.app/privacy Last updated October 30, 2026. This policy explains what SelGPT collects, why, who we share it with and the choices you have. In short: we collect what we need to run the service, we don’t sell your data, we don’t show ads, and your chats are not used to train AI models. ## 1. What we collect - **Account details:** your name, email address and profile picture, from the sign-up form or from Google if you sign in with Google. - **Your content:** the messages, files and images you send, and the replies SelGPT generates, so you can see your chat history. - **Usage:** which models you use and how much, to apply your plan’s allowance. - **Product analytics:** which pages you visit on selgpt.app and which features you use in SelGPT (for example, that you sent a message with a given model, opened a research report or chose a plan), so we can see what works and improve it. This never includes what you write, your files or the replies. On selgpt.app (not in the chat app) we may also record how visitors move through the page, with anything typed into forms hidden. - **Billing:** your plan and subscription status from Polar. We never see or store your full card number. - **Technical data:** IP address, browser and device information, and logs needed to keep SelGPT secure and working. IP addresses used to prevent fake sign-ups are stored only as a one-way hash. We also use your IP address to work out which country you are in, because SelGPT is not yet open in every country; that lookup happens on our server with [IP geolocation by DB-IP](https://db-ip.com), and we do not store the address for it. ## 2. How we use it - To provide SelGPT: sign you in, answer your messages, keep your history and apply your plan. - To prevent abuse, such as multiple free accounts, fraud and attacks. - To handle billing and support, and to send essential service emails. **We do not** sell your personal data, show ads, or use your chats to train AI models. ## 3. Who we share it with We share data only with the providers that run SelGPT, and only as needed: - **AI model providers,** through OpenRouter: your messages go to the provider of the model you choose (OpenAI, Anthropic, DeepSeek or Xiaomi models, hosted by those companies or by DeepInfra, GMI Cloud, Amazon Bedrock, Google Vertex or Azure). We only allow providers that agree not to use your data for training. - **Web search:** search queries are sent to Keenable when a model searches the web. - **Clerk** handles sign-in and stores your account details. - **Polar** processes payments as our merchant of record. - **MongoDB Atlas** (Amazon Web Services, United States) stores your account data and chats. - **Fly.io** (United States) hosts SelGPT and stores uploaded files. - **PostHog** (United States) receives the product analytics described above, along with your account’s email and name once you sign in, so we can tell which features people use. We may also disclose data if the law requires it, or to protect SelGPT, our users or others from harm. If SelGPT is sold or merged, your data would move with it under this policy. ## 4. Where your data is stored SelGPT’s servers and database are in the United States, and our providers may process data in other countries. Where the law requires it, these transfers rely on appropriate safeguards such as standard contractual clauses. ## 5. How long we keep it - Chats and files stay until you delete them or your account. - When your account is deleted, we remove your data within 30 days, except what we must keep for legal, tax or fraud-prevention reasons. - Billing records are kept as long as tax law requires. ## 6. Cookies and local storage We use the cookies and browser storage SelGPT needs to work: keeping you signed in, security, and remembering settings such as your theme. We also use a first-party analytics cookie from PostHog, shared by selgpt.app and chat.selgpt.app, to count visits and see which features are used. We don’t use advertising or cross-site tracking cookies. ## 7. Your rights Depending on where you live, you can ask to access, correct, export or delete your personal data, or object to or restrict how we use it. Email [support@selgpt.app](mailto:support@selgpt.app) and we will reply within 30 days. You can also complain to your local data protection authority. ## 8. Security Data is encrypted in transit, access to production systems is restricted, and sign-in is handled by Clerk. No system is perfectly secure, so please use a strong sign-in method and tell us if you notice anything unusual. ## 9. Children SelGPT is not for children under 16, and we don’t knowingly collect their data. If you believe a child has an account, contact us and we will delete it. ## 10. Changes We will post updates here and change the date at the top. If a change is significant, we will tell you by email or in SelGPT. ## 11. Contact Questions or requests about your data: [support@selgpt.app](mailto:support@selgpt.app). See also our [Terms of Service](https://selgpt.app/terms).
