Information We Collect

We collect information in the following categories:

Account Information

• Email address (required to create an account)
• Password — stored only as a SHA-256 hash, never in plain text
• Account creation date

Usage Data

• Chat messages you send to ZyAI (stored only if you are logged in)
• Number of chats today and total (for rate limiting and your stats)
• API request counts (for rate limiting)

Payment Data

• Blockchain transaction hashes you submit for subscription verification
• We do not collect credit card numbers, wallet private keys, or any sensitive financial data

Files You Upload

• Files you attach to chat (PDF, Word, Excel, code, etc.) are processed in memory to answer your question
• File contents are not permanently stored — they exist only for the duration of the API call

What We Do NOT Collect

IP addresses, browser fingerprints, location data, device identifiers, advertising IDs, or browsing history.

How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect exclusively to:

• Authenticate you and keep your account secure
• Save and restore your chat history across sessions (logged-in users only)
• Enforce fair-use rate limits on chat and API usage
• Verify subscription payments via on-chain transaction data
• Display your usage statistics in your account dashboard
• Respond to support requests you send us

Data Storage & Security

All user data is stored in Cloudflare D1 — a serverless SQLite database operated by Cloudflare, Inc. on infrastructure distributed globally.

• Passwords are hashed with SHA-256 before storage — we cannot recover your password
• API keys are randomly generated 48-character hex strings prefixed with zyai_
• All traffic between your browser and ZyAI is encrypted via HTTPS/TLS
• We do not operate our own servers — ZyAI runs entirely on Cloudflare Workers edge infrastructure

While we implement strong security practices, no system is 100% immune to breaches. In the unlikely event of a data breach affecting your account, we will notify you via email within 72 hours of discovery.

• Does not read or collect your browsing history
• Does not track which websites you visit
• Only sends text you explicitly select and submit to ZyAI
• Stores only your theme preference locally in your browser via localStorage
• Does not share any data with third parties beyond what the main ZyAI service uses
• Requests only the minimum permissions required to function
