1. Introduction
Welcome to Hedgework @ PS 20. We are committed to protecting your right to privacy. This Privacy Policy describes how this website/application (“the Service,” “we,” “our,” or “us”) handles information when you use our web-based interface powered by the OpenAI API. We are committed to minimizing data collection and protecting user privacy. If you have any questions or concerns about this privacy policy or our practices regarding your personal information, please contact us at privacy@hedgework.net
2. Information We Collect
We do not intentionally collect, store, or sell personal information from users through our own systems. Specifically:
- We do not require users to create accounts.
- We do not collect names, email addresses, phone numbers, or payment information.
- We do not maintain user profiles or behavioral advertising databases.
- We do not sell or share personal information with third parties for marketing purposes.
However, certain technical information may be processed automatically as part of operating the Service.
Automatically Processed Technical Information
Like most web services, limited technical data may be temporarily processed by infrastructure providers, hosting services, or security systems, including: IP address, Browser type, Device information, Basic server logs, Timestamp and request metadata. This information is used solely for: maintaining system security, preventing abuse, debugging technical issues, and ensuring reliable operation of the Service. We make reasonable efforts to minimize retention of this information.
3. User Content and AI Processing
When you submit prompts, messages, or other content through the Service, that content is transmitted to OpenAI for processing in order to generate responses. This means that:
- We do not independently review, analyze, or store your conversations unless required for technical troubleshooting, abuse prevention, or legal compliance.
- Your prompts and conversations are sent to OpenAI’s servers.
- OpenAI processes this content according to its own policies and infrastructure.
4. How OpenAI Handles Data
OpenAI acts as a third-party AI service provider for this application. According to OpenAI’s API data usage policies:
- Content submitted through the OpenAI API is not used to train OpenAI models by default unless the customer explicitly opts in.
- OpenAI may retain API data for a limited period for abuse and safety monitoring.
- OpenAI implements security and compliance measures designed to protect transmitted data.

Please note that OpenAI’s policies may change over time, and your use of this Service is also subject to OpenAI’s applicable terms and policies.
5. Cookies and Analytics
We do not use advertising trackers or third-party marketing cookies. If analytics tools are used, they are configured, where possible, to minimize personal data collection and to provide only aggregate usage information.
6. Data Security
We take reasonable measures to protect the security of the Service and minimize unnecessary data collection. However, no method of internet transmission or electronic storage is completely secure. Users should avoid submitting: passwords, financial information, government identification numbers, medical records, or other highly sensitive personal information.
7. Third Party Services
The Service may rely on third-party infrastructure providers such as: cloud hosting providers, content delivery networks, security services, and OpenAI’s API services. These providers may process limited technical information necessary for operation of the Service.
8. Children’s Privacy
The Service is not directed toward children under 13 years of age, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
9. Your Rights
Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have rights regarding: access to your data, deletion requests, correction requests, and objections to certain forms of processing. Because we intentionally minimize data collection, we may not possess identifiable information capable of being retrieved or deleted.
10. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy periodically. Updated versions will be posted on this page with a revised “Effective Date.”
