3. Public Nature of the Platform

Ctrl AI is designed as a transparent, public platform for AI evaluation. Please be aware that:

The prompts you submit to AI models, the responses you receive, and your evaluations are publicly visible to all users of the platform.

Your username and profile information (excluding your email address) will be associated with your contributions on the platform.

The data collected through the platform, including prompts, AI responses, and evaluations, is made available for research and analysis purposes in accordance with our mission.

If you are uncomfortable with this level of publicity, please consider carefully what information you share on the platform or whether the service is appropriate for your needs.

4. Data Sharing and Disclosure

We may share your information in the following circumstances:

With AI Model Providers

When you submit a prompt to an AI model, we share that prompt with the relevant AI model provider to generate a response. This interaction is subject to the provider's own privacy policies and terms.

With Service Providers

We may share information with third-party vendors, consultants, and other service providers who need access to such information to carry out work on our behalf.

For Research Purposes

We make anonymized or aggregated data available to researchers, journalists, policymakers, and the public to advance understanding of AI systems and their implications.

For Legal Reasons

We may share information if we believe it is required by applicable law, regulation, legal process, or governmental request, or to protect the rights, safety, or property of Ctrl AI, our users, or the public.

With Your Consent

We may share information with third parties when you give us your consent to do so.

5. Your Rights and Choices

You have certain rights and choices regarding your personal information:

Account Information

You can access, update, or delete your account information at any time through your account settings or by contacting us.

Content Removal

You can delete specific prompts or evaluations you have submitted. However, please note that copies may remain in our database for research and analysis purposes, or if they have been included in datasets shared with researchers.

Cookies

Most web browsers are set to accept cookies by default. You can usually set your browser to remove or reject cookies, but this may affect certain features of our services.

Marketing Communications

You can opt out of receiving promotional emails from us by following the instructions in those emails. Even if you opt out, we may still send you non-promotional communications.

6. Data Security

We implement reasonable security measures to protect your personal information from unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. However, no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

In the event of a data breach that compromises your personal information, we will notify you in accordance with applicable laws.
