Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

Archive777 respects your privacy and is committed to handling personal information responsibly.

This Privacy Policy explains what information Archive777 may collect, why it is collected, how it may be used, how it may be retained, and the choices available to users.

This Privacy Policy applies to Archive777.org and related Archive777 websites, accounts, document catalogues, artificial intelligence services, subscription services, and other features made available by Archive777.

Archive777 is operated from Ontario, Canada.

By accessing or using Archive777, you acknowledge the practices described in this Privacy Policy.

2. Information We May Collect

Depending on the services you use, Archive777 may collect:

• Account information: such as your username, email address, account status, account level, email-verification status, and information necessary to authenticate and administer your account.
• AI and research activity: such as prompts, chat messages, generated responses, Research Collection activity, and related information necessary to provide account-based research services.
• Information you provide: including information submitted when contacting Archive777, requesting support, reporting a problem, or otherwise communicating with the administrator.
• Subscription and transaction information: such as your selected plan, billing interval, subscription status, transaction identifiers, Stripe customer or subscription identifiers, payment status, renewal information, and limited payment-method information made available by the payment processor.
• Technical and security information: such as IP addresses, timestamps, browser or device information, session information, request records, authentication events, and security logs where reasonably necessary to operate, protect, troubleshoot, or secure the Service.

Archive777 seeks to collect and retain information that is reasonably necessary to provide and protect the Service rather than collecting information merely because it may be technically possible to do so.

3. Account Information

Certain Archive777 features require a registered account.

Account information may be used to create and authenticate accounts, verify email addresses, administer access levels, provide account features, manage subscriptions, enforce usage limits, protect account security, and communicate important service information.

Users are responsible for protecting their account credentials and should not share passwords or authentication information with unauthorized persons.

4. AI Chats and Research Activity

Prompts, chat messages, retrieved passages, generated responses, and related information may be processed by the systems used to provide Archive777's artificial intelligence and retrieval-augmented generation services.

Chat history may be associated with a user's account so that conversations and account-based functionality can be provided.

Artificial intelligence processing may involve searching or retrieving information from Archive777 Research Collections and other indexed source material.

Users should avoid submitting unnecessary personal, confidential, or sensitive information through AI prompts or other research features.

5. How Information Is Used

Archive777 may use information to:

• provide, maintain, and improve Archive777 services;
• create, authenticate, verify, and administer user accounts;
• process prompts and provide AI-assisted research functionality;
• provide access to Research Collections and other account-based features;
• administer Free, Basic, Premium, or other access levels;
• process and reconcile subscription and payment information;
• manage subscription access and renewal status;
• send necessary account, security, subscription, payment, and service communications;
• respond to support requests and other communications;
• enforce reasonable usage, subscription, and access controls;
• detect and respond to abuse, fraud, spam, unauthorized access, security incidents, or violations of the Terms of Service;
• diagnose technical problems and maintain service reliability; and
• satisfy applicable legal, regulatory, accounting, security, or administrative requirements.

6. Payment and Subscription Information

Archive777 uses Stripe to process payments and administer aspects of paid subscription billing.

Payment-card information entered through Stripe Checkout is processed through Stripe's payment infrastructure.

Archive777 does not directly collect or store full payment-card numbers or card security codes entered through Stripe Checkout.

Archive777 may receive and retain limited information relating to transactions and subscriptions, including transaction identifiers, Stripe customer or subscription identifiers, subscription plan and billing interval, payment and subscription status, renewal or cancellation information, billing information, payment-method type, and limited payment-method information made available by Stripe.

Stripe may independently collect and process information necessary to provide payment, billing, fraud-prevention, security, and related services. Stripe's handling of that information is governed by its own privacy practices and applicable legal obligations.

7. Subscription and Account Communications

Archive777 may use your email address to send communications necessary to operate your account or administer a subscription.

These communications may include email verification, password-reset messages, security notices, subscription confirmations, upcoming renewal notices, payment-status messages, cancellation information, account notices, and other transactional or operational communications.

Transactional and operational communications are separate from optional promotional or marketing communications.

Certain essential communications may be necessary to maintain an account, provide a requested service, or administer an active subscription.

8. Chat Deletion

When a user deletes a chat, Archive777 removes the chat from the user's available chat history.

Certain information may remain temporarily in underlying systems or records where reasonably necessary for technical, security, backup, fraud-prevention, dispute-resolution, or legal purposes.

Archive777 does not guarantee that deletion from a user-visible interface results in immediate deletion from every underlying technical system, backup, security record, or other location in which related information may temporarily exist.

9. Information Retention

Archive777 retains personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary to operate and secure the Service, administer accounts and subscriptions, resolve disputes, enforce agreements, and satisfy applicable legal or regulatory requirements.

Different categories of information may be retained for different periods depending on their purpose and the systems in which they are maintained.

When information is no longer reasonably required, Archive777 may delete, anonymize, or otherwise dispose of it in accordance with its operational and legal requirements.

Certain records may be retained after an account or subscription ends where reasonably necessary for security, fraud prevention, accounting, payment reconciliation, dispute resolution, or legal compliance.

10. Contact and Support Communications

Information submitted when contacting Archive777 may include your name, email address, message, and other information you choose to provide.

This information may be processed as necessary to receive, deliver, review, respond to, and maintain appropriate records of the communication.

Do not include passwords, authentication tokens, full payment-card information, government identification numbers, medical information, or other highly sensitive information in messages to Archive777 unless specifically necessary and requested through an appropriate secure process.

11. Cookies, Sessions, and Similar Technologies

Archive777 may use cookies, browser storage, session identifiers, or similar technologies where reasonably necessary to maintain login sessions, authenticate users, preserve settings, provide requested functionality, administer subscriptions, prevent abuse, or protect the security of the Service.

Third-party services used by Archive777 may also use cookies or similar technologies when providing their respective services.

12. Service Providers

Archive777 may rely on third-party service providers to operate portions of the Service.

These providers may perform functions involving payment processing, email delivery, network security, website infrastructure, communications, authentication, or other technical and operational services.

Information may be provided to or processed by these services where reasonably necessary for them to perform the relevant function.

Third-party providers may also process information under their own terms, privacy policies, and legal obligations.

13. Security

Archive777 uses administrative, technical, and operational safeguards intended to protect information against unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, loss, or misuse.

Security measures may include authentication controls, access restrictions, network protections, monitoring, backups, software security measures, and other safeguards appropriate to the systems being protected.

No internet-connected service, transmission method, or electronic storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

Users are responsible for protecting their credentials and should promptly report suspected unauthorized access to their accounts.

14. Disclosure of Information

Archive777 does not sell personal information to advertisers.

Archive777 may disclose information where reasonably necessary to:

• provide a service requested by the user;
• work with service providers performing functions on Archive777's behalf;
• investigate or prevent fraud, abuse, unauthorized access, or security incidents;
• protect the rights, security, property, or integrity of Archive777, its users, or others;
• comply with applicable law, a court order, subpoena, or other valid legal process; or
• establish, exercise, or defend legal rights.

15. Access, Correction, and Privacy Requests

Subject to applicable law and reasonable identity verification, users may request access to personal information held about them or request correction of inaccurate information.

Users may also contact Archive777 regarding account deletion, privacy concerns, or other requests relating to their personal information.

Some information may need to be retained despite a deletion request where retention is reasonably necessary or permitted by law, including for security, fraud prevention, accounting, payment reconciliation, dispute resolution, enforcement, or legal compliance.

Requests may be submitted through the Contact Administrator option on the Archive777 homepage.

16. Children's Privacy

Archive777 is not directed toward children and is not intended to knowingly collect personal information from children without appropriate authorization.

A parent or guardian who believes that a child has submitted personal information to Archive777 may contact the administrator to request review of the information and appropriate action.

17. International and Third-Party Processing

Archive777 is operated from Ontario, Canada.

Some third-party service providers used to operate Archive777 may process or store information in Canada, the United States, or other jurisdictions in which they or their service providers operate.

As a result, information processed by those providers may be subject to the laws and lawful-access requirements of the jurisdictions in which it is processed.

18. Changes to This Privacy Policy

Archive777 may update this Privacy Policy as its services, subscription offerings, technical practices, service providers, or legal requirements change.

When the Privacy Policy is updated, the revised version will be posted on this page with an updated date.

Where appropriate or required by law, Archive777 may provide additional notice of material changes.

19. Privacy Questions and Contact

Questions, access requests, correction requests, deletion requests, or privacy concerns may be submitted through the Contact Administrator option on the Archive777 homepage.

Please do not include passwords, authentication tokens, or other confidential authentication information in your message.
