    <h1>Privacy Policy</h1>
    <p class="meta">Benevolent Bandwidth Foundation, Inc. &nbsp;·&nbsp; Effective date: June 1, 2026</p>

    <p>The Benevolent Bandwidth Foundation, Inc. ("we," "our," or "the Foundation") is a Massachusetts nonprofit corporation. We are committed to protecting the privacy of everyone who interacts with our services, tools, and platforms. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and your rights.</p>

    <h2>1. Information We Collect</h2>
    <p>We may collect the following types of information:</p>
    <p><strong>Information you provide directly.</strong> When you contact us, contribute to a project, or interact with our WhatsApp-based tools, you may provide your name, email address, phone number, or other personal information.</p>
    <p><strong>Usage data.</strong> When you use our tools or visit our website, we may collect information about how you interact with our services, including device type, browser, and general location.</p>
    <p><strong>WhatsApp messages.</strong> If you interact with our AI tools through WhatsApp, the content of those messages is processed to provide the service. We do not sell or share message content with third parties.</p>

    <h2>2. How We Use Your Information</h2>
    <p>We use the information we collect to:</p>
    <p>— Operate and improve our open-source AI tools and services<br>
    — Respond to your inquiries and support requests<br>
    — Analyze how our tools are used to improve their quality<br>
    — Comply with legal obligations</p>
    <p>We do not sell your personal information. We do not use your data to train third-party AI models outside of our controlled infrastructure.</p>

    <h2>3. How We Store and Protect Your Information</h2>
    <p>We use Google Cloud Platform (GCP) to store and process data. All data is encrypted at rest and in transit. Our infrastructure is governed by Google's Cloud Data Processing Addendum, which ensures your data is not used to train Google's AI models.</p>
    <p><strong>Data persistence.</strong> We do not persist collected data beyond a session. A session is defined on a use case by use case basis — for example, a single conversation with one of our AI tools, a single form submission, or a single WhatsApp interaction. Once a session ends, the data associated with it is not retained.</p>

    <h2>4. Sharing of Information</h2>
    <p>We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information. We may share information only in the following circumstances:</p>
    <p>— With service providers who operate under data processing agreements (e.g., Google Cloud)<br>
    — When required by law or to protect the safety of users or the public<br>
    — With your explicit consent</p>

    <h2>5. Your Rights</h2>
    <p>Depending on your location, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or restrict the processing of your personal information. To exercise these rights, please contact us at <a href="mailto:benevolent@benevolentbandwidth.org">benevolent@benevolentbandwidth.org</a>.</p>

    <h2>6. Children's Privacy</h2>
    <p>Our services are not directed at children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.</p>

    <h2>7. Changes to This Policy</h2>
    <p>We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will post the updated policy on this page with a revised effective date. Continued use of our services after changes are posted constitutes your acceptance of the updated policy.</p>

    <h2>8. Contact Us</h2>
    <p>If you have questions about this Privacy Policy, please contact us at:</p>
