Privacy Policy

Last updated: June 6, 2026

1. Overview

This Privacy Policy explains how Afterdraft, available at afterdraft.ai, may collect, use, store, disclose, and protect information when you visit or use the site. Afterdraft is designed as a construction dictionary and does not require an account to browse definitions.

2. Information you provide

We may process information you choose to provide, including search queries, submitted terms, feedback, support messages, or other information you send to us. Do not submit confidential project information, personal information, proprietary materials, privileged communications, contract-sensitive content, or other sensitive information through the site.

3. Information collected automatically

When you use the site, we or our service providers may automatically process technical and usage information such as IP address, browser type, device type, operating system, referring page, pages viewed, links clicked, search activity, timestamps, approximate location inferred from network data, diagnostic logs, performance data, and security events.

4. How we use information

We use information to provide, operate, secure, monitor, debug, maintain, and improve Afterdraft; improve search quality and terminology coverage; understand usage patterns; prevent abuse; respond to requests; enforce our terms; and comply with legal obligations.

5. AI-assisted features and search quality

Afterdraft content may be generated, reviewed, categorized, or improved using artificial intelligence and automated systems. Search queries, usage patterns, and content interactions may be used to improve definitions, related terms, ranking, categorization, and site quality. Do not enter sensitive or confidential information into search.

6. Cookies and similar technologies

We or our service providers may use cookies, local storage, pixels, or similar technologies for site operation, preferences, analytics, performance, diagnostics, fraud prevention, and security. You can control cookies through your browser settings, but blocking cookies may affect site functionality or measurement.

7. Analytics and service providers

We may use third-party providers for hosting, infrastructure, analytics, logging, monitoring, security, content delivery, search, email, and related services. These providers may process information on our behalf and according to their own terms and privacy practices.

8. When we share information

We may share information with service providers, professional advisors, authorities when required by law, parties involved in enforcing our rights or protecting the site, or parties involved in a merger, acquisition, financing, reorganization, or sale of assets involving Afterdraft.

9. Sale of personal information

Afterdraft does not sell personal information for money. If we later use advertising, retargeting, or analytics practices that may be considered a "sale," "sharing," or targeted advertising under applicable privacy laws, we will update this policy and provide any required choices.

10. Data retention

We retain information for as long as reasonably necessary to operate, secure, analyze, improve, and maintain the site; comply with legal obligations; resolve disputes; enforce agreements; and preserve backup, audit, and security records.

11. Data security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures designed to protect information. No website, network, storage system, or transmission method is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.

12. International visitors

Afterdraft may be operated from, and information may be processed in, the United States or other locations where our service providers operate. By using the site, you understand that information may be processed in countries with privacy laws different from those in your location.

13. Your privacy rights

Depending on where you live, you may have rights to request access, correction, deletion, portability, restriction, objection, withdrawal of consent, or opt-out of certain processing. To make a privacy request, contact us at afterdraftai@gmail.com. We may need to verify your request before responding.

14. Children's privacy

Afterdraft is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided personal information to us, contact us so we can review and delete it where appropriate.

15. Third-party links

The site may link to third-party websites, standards organizations, software providers, or other resources. We are not responsible for the privacy practices, content, or security of third-party sites or services.

16. Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The updated version will be indicated by a new "Last updated" date. Material changes will be reflected on this page or through another reasonable notice method.
