Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy explains how SharpDraft collects, uses, stores, and protects personal data when you use the SharpDraft iPhone application and related services.
1. Who we are
SharpDraft is operated by Strategic AI Guidance Ltd. In this Privacy Policy, "we", "us", and "our" refer to Strategic AI Guidance Ltd as the provider of SharpDraft.
Website: https://strategicaiguidance.com/
Privacy contact: sharpdraft@strategicaiguidance.com
2. Information we collect
Information you provide directly
- Text you enter into SharpDraft, including instructions, email drafts, notes, background context, and other material you choose to paste into the app.
- Support messages or other communications you send to us.
Usage and technical information
- Basic device and app usage information needed to operate the service, apply free and paid usage rules, prevent abuse, and diagnose technical issues.
- App interaction and analytics events, such as generation activity, subscription state, errors, and feature usage.
- A device-related identifier or similar internal identifier used to manage entitlements, generation allowances, and service reliability.
Subscription and payment information
Purchases and subscription billing are handled through Apple’s in-app purchase systems. We do not receive your full payment card details. We may receive limited subscription status information needed to confirm access to paid features.
Saved content
SharpDraft may store saved history and related metadata locally on your device. Where backend storage is used to operate the service, enforce limits, or support account-free entitlement checks, relevant service data may also be stored on our systems or our service providers’ systems.
3. How we use your information
We use personal data only where needed to operate, improve, and protect SharpDraft. This includes using data to:
- generate and return professional writing outputs you request;
- format content appropriately for the selected output type, tone, and length;
- operate the app, backend services, and customer support processes;
- enforce free-tier and paid-tier usage limits and prevent misuse;
- process and validate subscription entitlements;
- monitor performance, reliability, and service quality;
- investigate bugs, abuse, fraud, or security incidents;
- comply with legal and regulatory obligations.
AI processing
When you submit text to SharpDraft, that text may be processed by AI service providers acting on our behalf in order to generate the requested draft. You should avoid including unnecessary confidential, sensitive, or regulated personal data unless you are satisfied that you are entitled to use it in this way.
4. Legal basis for processing
Where UK data protection law applies, we generally rely on one or more of the following legal bases:
- Contract: processing needed to provide SharpDraft and its paid or free features to you.
- Legitimate interests: operating, securing, improving, and supporting the service, including analytics, abuse prevention, and entitlement management.
- Legal obligation: where processing is required to comply with applicable law, lawful requests, or regulatory requirements.
- Consent: where consent is specifically required, for example for certain optional communications or permissions.
5. Sharing your information
We do not sell your personal data to advertisers. We may share information only where needed with:
- hosting and infrastructure providers;
- AI processing providers used to generate outputs;
- subscription, billing, and entitlement service providers;
- analytics and error monitoring providers;
- professional advisers, regulators, courts, or authorities where required by law or necessary to protect our legal rights.
We require service providers to handle personal data only for appropriate business purposes and under suitable contractual and security controls.
6. International transfers
Some service providers may process data outside the United Kingdom. Where this happens, we take appropriate steps intended to ensure that personal data is protected using suitable transfer mechanisms and contractual safeguards where required.
7. Data security
We use reasonable technical and organisational measures intended to protect personal data against unauthorised access, loss, misuse, disclosure, or alteration. No system can guarantee absolute security, but we design our service and operational processes to reduce risk and limit unnecessary data exposure.
8. Data retention
We retain personal data only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, including service delivery, support, subscription administration, dispute handling, security monitoring, and legal compliance.
- Locally saved history remains on your device until you remove it or uninstall the app, subject to normal device backup behaviour.
- Operational logs, usage records, and entitlement-related records may be kept for a limited period as needed for abuse prevention, troubleshooting, and accounting or legal purposes.
- Support communications may be retained for continuity, evidence, and service improvement.
9. Your rights
Depending on the law that applies to you, you may have rights to request access to your personal data, correction of inaccurate data, deletion, restriction of processing, objection to processing, and data portability.
You may also have the right to complain to the UK Information Commissioner’s Office if you believe your data has been handled unlawfully.
To make a privacy request, contact us using the details below. We may need to verify your identity before acting on a request.
10. Children
SharpDraft is not intended for children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal data from children through the app.
11. Third-party services and links
SharpDraft may rely on third-party services for app distribution, subscriptions, hosting, analytics, and AI processing. Those third parties may have their own privacy terms and notices. Our website or app may also contain links to third-party websites, which we do not control.
12. Changes to this Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The latest version will be posted at:
https://strategicaiguidance.com/sharpdraft/privacy.html
Where changes are material, we may also take additional steps to bring them to your attention within the app or through other appropriate channels.
