4. Your rights

Depending on location, individuals in the EEA, the UK, and across the globe may have certain statutory rights in relation to their Personal Information. For example, you may have the right to:

  • Access your Personal Information and information relating to how it is processed.
  • Delete your Personal Information from our records.
  • Rectify or update your Personal Information.
  • Transfer your Personal Information to a third party (right to data portability).

You can exercise some of these rights through your Thothica account. If you are unable to exercise your rights through your account, please send your request to hello@Thothica.com.

A note about accuracy: Thothica generates responses by combining user requests with relevant retrieved information, aiming to provide textual content. However, because some responses rely on predictive language modelling, certain outputs may still contain inaccuracies. We recommend verifying critical information independently, as not all content generated by the models can be guaranteed as entirely factually accurate.

‍

6. Children

Our Service is not directed at children under the age of 13. Thothica does not knowingly collect Personal Information from children under the age of 13. If you have reason to believe that a child under the age of 13 has provided Personal Information to Thothica through the Service, please email us at hello@Thothica.com. We will investigate any notification and if appropriate, delete the Personal Information from our systems. If you are 13 or older, but under 18, you must have consent from your parents or guardian to use our Services.

‍

7. Links to other websites

The Service may contain links to other websites not operated or controlled by Thothica, including social media services (“Third Party Sites”). The information that you share with Third-Party Sites will be governed by the specific privacy policies and terms of service of the Third-Party Sites and not by this Privacy Policy. By providing these links we do not imply that we endorse or have reviewed these sites. Please contact the Third-Party Sites directly for information on their privacy practices and policies.

‍

8. Security and Retention

We implement commercially reasonable technical, administrative, and organizational measures to protect Personal Information both online and offline from loss, misuse, and unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. However, no Internet or email transmission is ever fully secure or error-free, in particular, emails sent to or from us may not be secure. Therefore, you should take special care in deciding what information you send to us via the Service or email. In addition, we are not responsible for circumvention of any privacy settings or security measures contained on the Service, or third-party websites.

We’ll retain your Personal Information for only as long as we need it in order to provide our Service to you, or for other legitimate business purposes such as resolving disputes, safety and security reasons, or complying with our legal obligations. How long we retain Personal Information will depend on several factors, such as the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the information, the potential risk of harm from unauthorized use or disclosure, our purpose for processing the information, and any legal requirements.
