Privacy Notice

Introduction

This notice explains what personal information Pencilton Technologies Private Limited, which makes Pencil AI ("Pencil", "we", "us"), collects when you visit pencilton.com or ask for early access, how we use it, and the choices you have. Pencil is pre-launch and our data practices are deliberately small. If that changes, we will update this notice before it does.

Changes to this notice

We may update this notice from time to time. The date at the top shows when it last changed. If a change is material, we will say so on the site or by email to people who have given us an address.

Information we collect

Information you give us

• Early-access requests. The details you enter in the form, such as your email address and any other fields the form asks for.
• Messages. Anything you send us when you write to one of our addresses, including your email address and what you tell us.

Information collected automatically

Our hosting provider keeps basic server logs when you load the site, which typically include your IP address, the time and address of the request, and your browser's user agent. We use them to keep the site running and secure.

We do not use analytics or advertising cookies, and we do not run advertising trackers on the site.

How we use information

• To respond to your early-access request and to messages you send us.
• To contact you about access to Pencil, and about changes to our terms or this notice.
• To operate, secure and troubleshoot the site, and to prevent abuse.
• To meet legal obligations.

We do not sell your personal information, and we do not use it for advertising.

How we disclose information

• Service providers. Companies that help us run the site and handle requests, such as our hosting provider. They may process information only to provide their service to us.
• Legal and safety. We may disclose information when the law requires it, to respond to valid legal process, or to protect the rights, safety or security of people or our services.
• Business changes. If we are part of a merger, acquisition or sale of assets, information may be transferred as part of it, subject to this notice.

Retention

We keep information only as long as we need it for the purposes above. Early-access details are kept until we have finished contacting you about access or you ask us to delete them. Server logs are kept by our hosting provider for a short period under its own schedule. We may keep some information longer where the law requires.

Security

We use reasonable measures to protect personal information, including limiting who can access it. No method of storage or transmission is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security. To report a vulnerability, see our disclosure policy.

Your rights

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to ask us to tell you what personal information we hold about you, to correct or delete it, to restrict or object to certain uses, to receive a copy, and to withdraw consent where we rely on it. You can also complain to your local data protection authority. To use any of these rights, write to hello@pencilton.com. We may need to confirm who you are first, and we will respond within the time the law requires.

Children

The site and Service are not directed to children, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 16. If you believe a child has given us information, write to us and we will delete it.

International transfers

We and our service providers may process information in countries other than your own, which may have different data protection rules. Where the law requires safeguards for such transfers, we use appropriate ones.
