What the site + AI assistant collect (very little) · content/privacy.md
Privacy Policy — QALS project site & assistant
Effective: 2026-09-11 · Operator: qalarc (the qalarc.com project pages, including the QALS project at /projects/qals/ and its AI assistant)
Plain-English, no walls of legalese — because there's genuinely little data. Not legal advice.
What we collect
The AI assistant (the "?" button): - The questions you type and the page you were on when you asked - A random per-session conversation id (not linked to you) - A coarse rate-limit fingerprint (IP-based, used only to cap abuse at 20 questions/hour, then discarded)
What happens to it: your question is sent to our AI service (a GLM language-model API operated by Z.ai) to generate an answer, and the question + answer are logged to our concierge system so the team can see what people ask and improve the site. Logs auto-expire after 90 days.
We never ask for, and the assistant never collects: names, emails, accounts, payment details, or anything else. There is nothing to register.
Site analytics
Static hosting logs (Cloudflare) record standard request data (IP, user agent, URL) as part of delivering pages. We don't run third-party analytics trackers, advertising pixels, or fingerprinting scripts.
Cookies
The QALS site sets no cookies. (The separate phone bridge — a private tool on our own network — uses a session token cookie; it's not part of this public site.)
Wallets & keys
The QALS system's wallets and identities are cryptographic — we never hold your keys and there's nothing in them for us to access. No wallet data touches this website.
Your choices
- Don't want your questions logged? Don't use the assistant — every page is reachable via the Hub, or ask us directly.
- Want a log deleted? Email [email protected] with the approximate time and wording of your question and we'll remove it from the concierge logs.
- The AI answer is generated text about a technical system — it can be wrong. Verify anything that matters against the wiki pages it links.
