Privacy Policy

Last updated: January 1, 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how garlicmax, Inc. ("garlicmax," "we," "us," or "our") collects, uses, discloses, and safeguards your information when you visit garlicmax.ai or use our platform, APIs, and related services (collectively, the "Services"). By using the Services, you agree to the practices described here.

1. Information We Collect

We collect information you provide directly, information generated through your use of the Services, and information from third parties. This includes:

  • Account information such as your name, email address, company, and billing details.
  • Usage data including API requests, model selections, token counts, and log data.
  • Content you submit to models, such as prompts, files, and generated outputs.
  • Device and technical data such as IP address, browser type, and device identifiers.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect to:

  • Provide, operate, maintain, and improve the Services.
  • Process transactions and send related information, including invoices and confirmations.
  • Monitor usage, detect abuse, and enforce our Terms of Service.
  • Communicate with you about products, updates, security alerts, and support.
  • Comply with legal obligations and protect the rights and safety of our users.

We do not use the content you submit to train our own foundation models unless you explicitly opt in.

3. How We Share Information

We do not sell your personal information. We share information only with service providers who process data on our behalf, with model providers necessary to fulfill your requests, in connection with a merger or acquisition, or when required by law. All processors are bound by contractual confidentiality and security obligations.

4. Data Retention

We retain personal information for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide the Services. API request content is retained transiently to fulfill your request and is deleted according to your configured retention settings. You may request deletion of your data at any time.

5. Security

We implement administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect your information, including encryption in transit and at rest, access controls, and regular security assessments. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

6. Your Rights

Depending on your location, you may have the right to access, correct, delete, or port your personal information, and to object to or restrict certain processing. To exercise these rights, contact us at privacy@garlicmax.ai. We will respond within the timeframe required by applicable law.

7. International Transfers

garlicmax operates globally, and your information may be processed in countries other than your own, including the United States. Where required, we rely on appropriate safeguards such as Standard Contractual Clauses for cross-border transfers.

8. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will post the revised version at garlicmax.ai/privacy and update the "Last updated" date. Material changes will be communicated through the Services or by email.
