Privacy Policy

Last updated: January 4, 2026

Debating Bots ("we," "us," or "our") operates the Debating Bots web application (the "Service"). This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you use our Service.

1. Information We Collect

Account Information: When you create an account, we collect your email address and a securely hashed version of your password. We never store plain-text passwords.

Debate Data: We store the questions you submit, the AI-generated responses, and the final consensus results. This data is associated with your account to provide debate history functionality.

Payment Information: When you add funds, payment processing is handled by Stripe. We do not store your full credit card number, CVV, or other sensitive payment details on our servers. We only receive and store a transaction ID and purchase amount for record-keeping.

Usage Data: We automatically collect certain information when you access the Service, including your IP address, browser type, operating system, referring URLs, and pages viewed. This helps us understand how the Service is used and identify technical issues.

Uploaded Files: If you attach files to a debate, these files are temporarily processed to provide context to the AI models. Files are not permanently stored after the debate concludes unless explicitly saved as part of your debate history.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect to:

  • Provide, operate, and maintain the Service
  • Process transactions and manage your account balance
  • Store and display your debate history
  • Send you service-related communications (account verification, password resets, important updates)
  • Respond to your inquiries and provide customer support
  • Monitor and analyze usage patterns to improve the Service
  • Detect, prevent, and address technical issues, fraud, or abuse
  • Comply with legal obligations

3. Third-Party Services

Our Service integrates with third-party AI providers to generate debate responses. When you submit a question, your query (and any attached context) is sent to these providers' APIs:

  • OpenAI: Provides AI model responses. Subject to OpenAI's Privacy Policy and Terms of Service.
  • Google: Provides AI model responses. Subject to Google's Privacy Policy and Terms of Service.
  • Stripe: Processes payments. Subject to Stripe's Privacy Policy.

We recommend reviewing the privacy policies of these third-party services. We are not responsible for their data practices.

4. Data Sharing and Disclosure

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties for marketing purposes. We may share your information only in the following circumstances:

  • Service Providers: With third-party vendors who assist in operating the Service (hosting, analytics, payment processing), bound by confidentiality agreements.
  • Legal Requirements: If required by law, regulation, legal process, or governmental request.
  • Protection of Rights: To protect our rights, privacy, safety, or property, or that of our users or the public.
  • Business Transfers: In connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, your information may be transferred as part of that transaction.

5. Data Retention

We retain your account information and debate history for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide services. You may request deletion of your account and associated data at any time by contacting us. Some information may be retained in backups for a limited period or as required by law.

6. Data Security

We implement industry-standard security measures to protect your information, including:

  • Encryption of data in transit (HTTPS/TLS)
  • Secure password hashing (bcrypt)
  • Regular security assessments
  • Access controls limiting employee access to user data

However, no method of transmission or storage is 100% secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security of your data.

7. Your Rights and Choices

Depending on your location, you may have certain rights regarding your personal information:

  • Access: Request a copy of the personal data we hold about you.
  • Correction: Request correction of inaccurate or incomplete data.
  • Deletion: Request deletion of your personal data, subject to legal retention requirements.
  • Portability: Request your data in a machine-readable format.
  • Opt-Out: Unsubscribe from non-essential communications.

8. Cookies and Tracking

We use essential cookies to maintain your session and authentication state. We do not use third-party advertising or tracking cookies. You can configure your browser to refuse cookies, but this may limit your ability to use certain features of the Service.

9. Children's Privacy

The Service is not intended for users under 13 years of age (or 16 in certain jurisdictions). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If we learn we have collected information from a child, we will delete it promptly. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us.

10. International Data Transfers

Your information may be transferred to and processed in countries other than your own. These countries may have different data protection laws. By using the Service, you consent to the transfer of your information to the United States and other jurisdictions where we or our service providers operate.

11. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of material changes by posting the new policy on this page with an updated "Last Updated" date. Your continued use of the Service after changes constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
