Privacy Policy
Last updated: 20th February 2025
Candle Digital (“we,” “our,” or “us”) is committed to protecting your privacy when you use our AI Toolkit for Subject Experts. This Privacy Policy explains how we handle your data, your rights, and our legal obligations under UK data protection laws, including the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and the Data Protection Act 2018.
1. About the AI Toolkit for Subject Experts
The AI Toolkit for Subject Experts provides access to AI-powered tools designed to help subject matter experts with common business challenges. These tools are powered by various large language models (LLMs) from multiple providers, including OpenAI.
2. Data Collection & Storage
2.1 AI Tool Usage
- We do not record, store, or have access to any data you input into the AI tools.
- AI tool interactions are processed in real-time and handled directly by the third-party LLM providers we work with.
- Your use of the AI tools is subject to the data policies of the respective LLM providers (e.g., OpenAI, Anthropic, etc.), which may process your inputs in accordance with their own terms.
2.2 Account Registration
To access the AI Toolkit for Subject Experts, users must create an account. When you sign up, we collect and store the following personal data:
- First name
- Last name
- Email address
We store this data securely and use it to provide access to the toolkit. You may request deletion of your account at any time (see Section 5 – Your Rights).
2.3 Mailer Opt-in
During registration, you have the option to subscribe to our mailers. If you opt in, we will send occasional updates, insights, and resources relevant to subject experts.
- You can unsubscribe at any time by clicking the link in any email or by contacting us directly.
- We do not share your email with third parties for marketing purposes.
2.4 Analytics & Tracking
To improve our services, we collect analytics data using Fathom Analytics, a privacy-focused web analytics provider.
- Fathom does not use cookies or track individuals across websites.
- We collect anonymized data on tool usage, page visits, and interaction trends to improve the AI Toolkit.
3. Third-Party Data Processing
- Our AI tools rely on third-party LLM providers (e.g., OpenAI, Anthropic), meaning any input you provide is processed directly by those providers.
- Each provider’s privacy and data usage policies apply to the handling of your inputs.
- We do not access or control how LLM providers store or process data.
4. Data Security
We implement reasonable security measures to protect the data we do store (i.e., account information). However:
- As AI tool inputs are processed by third-party providers, we cannot guarantee the security of any data once it is transmitted to them.
- If you have concerns about data privacy, refer to the privacy policies of the LLM providers you interact with.
5. Your Rights Under UK Law
Under the UK GDPR and Data Protection Act 2018, you have the right to:
- Access your data – Request a copy of the personal data we store (account info only).
- Correct inaccurate data – Request corrections if your information is incorrect.
- Request deletion – Ask us to delete your account and associated data.
- Restrict processing – Request that we limit how we use your data.
