DemAgora uses artificial intelligence and other automated systems to analyze certain User Content and provide features such as content analysis, identification of arguments or principles, AI-ness analysis, feedback, and scoring.

Content submitted for these features may be transmitted to third-party artificial intelligence service providers for processing. This may include the text of posts or other information necessary to perform the requested analysis.

You should not include sensitive personal information in content submitted to DemAgora unless you are comfortable with that information being processed as part of the Service.

We may disclose information when reasonably necessary to operate DemAgora, including in the following circumstances:

• Public activity: Information you submit to public areas of DemAgora may be visible to other users and visitors.
• Service providers: We may provide information to companies that perform services for us, such as hosting, authentication, storage, security, analytics, communications, and artificial intelligence processing.

Principle Solutions LLC does not sell personal information for money.

If our practices change in a way that creates additional rights under applicable privacy law, we will update this Privacy Policy and provide any legally required choices or notices.

DemAgora and its service providers may use cookies, browser local storage, authentication tokens, and similar technologies where necessary to keep you signed in, remember settings, provide features, maintain security, understand use of the Service, and improve performance.

We retain information for as long as reasonably necessary to provide and operate the Service, maintain business and security records, resolve disputes, enforce agreements, comply with legal obligations, and protect DemAgora and its users.

Some information may remain after an account is closed or deleted. For example, public posts, comments, replies, moderation records, transaction or security records, and information that has been incorporated into discussions or other users' activity may be retained where reasonably necessary or permitted by law.

We use administrative, technical, and organizational measures intended to protect information against unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction.

However, no internet service, database, or method of electronic transmission can be guaranteed to be completely secure. We therefore cannot guarantee the absolute security of information processed through DemAgora.
