AI Processing Is Not a Sale. Designer Advisory sends your inputs to third-party AI providers (such as Anthropic and OpenAI) solely to provide the advisory features you request. This processing is performed under business API agreements that prohibit those providers from using your content to train their models or sharing it with third parties. We do not sell, rent, or share your personal information or AI inputs with third parties for advertising, marketing, or any commercial purpose unrelated to providing the service.

Your Rights. California residents (and residents of other states with similar laws) may request access to, correction of, or deletion of their personal information — including AI conversation history, uploaded files, and brand data — by contacting [your support email]. We will respond within the timeframes required by applicable law.
