We do not sell Google user data or use it for advertising. We do not use Google user data for purposes unrelated to providing and maintaining the authentication and account features described in this policy.
Our access to Google user data is limited to the permissions granted during sign-in and is subject to Google's applicable API Services User Data Policy, including its Limited Use requirements.

5. AI-assisted services
Some deep9 tools use artificial intelligence to assist with document preparation, research development, analysis and related tasks.
When you use an AI-assisted feature, relevant text, instructions, research information or document content may be transmitted to OpenAI through its API for processing and to provide the result you requested.
This processing is limited to the information relevant to the particular feature you choose to use. We do not need access to your entire Google account to provide these services.
You should submit only information that you are authorised to share. Avoid submitting passwords, payment card information or unnecessary sensitive personal information.

deep9 uses third-party service providers to operate its platform. These providers may process information on our behalf for the services described below.
Supabase: Provides authentication and database infrastructure used to manage accounts, user identity and associated platform information.

7. Storage, retention and account deletion
