1. Information We Collect

When you use Helios, we collect the following information:

  • Account information: Name, email address, and profile picture from Google OAuth
  • Conversation data: Chat messages, AI responses, and conversation metadata
  • Subscription data: Plan type, billing information processed through Stripe
  • Usage analytics: Feature usage, query counts, and performance metrics
  • Technical data: Browser type, device information, and IP address for security purposes

2. How We Use Your Data

We use your information to:

  • Provide, maintain, and improve the Helios platform
  • Authenticate your account and manage sessions
  • Process subscriptions and payments via Stripe
  • Store conversation history for your continued use
  • Provide personalized AI responses through our Cortex memory system

3. AI Model Providers

Your prompts are processed by the following third-party AI providers:

  • Anthropic — Claude models
  • OpenAI — GPT-4 models
  • Google — Gemini models
  • Perplexity — Sonar research model

We use API configurations that prevent these providers from training on your data where such options are available. Each provider's own privacy policy governs their handling of data.

4. Data Storage & Security

Your data is stored on Supabase (PostgreSQL) with encryption at rest and in transit. We use industry-standard security practices including TLS encryption, secure authentication tokens, and regular security audits. Payment information is processed and stored exclusively by Stripe — we never store credit card numbers.

5. Data Sharing

We do not sell your personal data. We share data only with:

  • AI providers — To process your queries (as described above)
  • Stripe — To process payments
  • Vercel — Our hosting provider
  • Law enforcement — Only when required by law

6. Your Rights

You have the right to:

  • Access your personal data
  • Request correction of inaccurate data
  • Request deletion of your account and associated data
  • Export your conversation data
  • Opt out of non-essential communications

7. Cookies

Helios uses essential cookies for authentication and session management. We do not use advertising or tracking cookies. Third-party services (Google OAuth, Stripe) may set their own cookies as necessary for their operation.

8. Children's Privacy

Helios is not intended for users under 13 years of age. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you become aware that a child has provided us with personal data, please contact us immediately.
