Privacy Policy
How we collect, use, and protect your personal information.
1. Overview
Khaos Live ("we", "us", "our") operates Khaos Live. This Policy describes how we handle personal information for visitors and users worldwide, including residents of the United States, Canada, United Kingdom, European Union, Australia, and other jurisdictions.
2. Information We Collect
2.1 Information you provide
Account information (email, username, password hash), profile details, content you submit (debate audio/video, chat messages, votes, reports), and communications with us.
2.2 Information collected automatically
Device and browser information, IP address, approximate location (derived from IP), usage logs, performance telemetry, and cookies/similar technologies (see our Cookie Policy).
2.3 Information from third parties
If you sign in with a third party (e.g., Google), we receive the basic profile information you authorize.
3. How We Use Your Information
- Operate, secure, and improve the Service.
- Authenticate users and prevent fraud or abuse.
- Power AI features (moderation, scoring, clipping, summaries).
- Personalize content, leaderboards, and notifications.
- Send service announcements and, with consent where required, marketing.
- Comply with legal obligations and enforce our Terms.
4. AI Feature Processing
Content you post may be processed by automated systems and large language models for moderation, scoring, clipping, and summarization. These models may run via trusted third-party providers under contractual protections. We do not sell your personal information to AI providers for use in unrelated training without your consent.
5. Legal Bases (EU/UK GDPR)
We process personal data on the following bases: performance of a contract (to provide the Service), legitimate interests (security, fraud prevention, product improvement), consent (for optional cookies and marketing), and legal obligation.
6. Analytics & Cookies
We use first-party and limited third-party analytics to understand product usage. See our Cookie Policy for details and to manage your preferences.
7. Third-Party Services
We share personal information with vetted processors that help us operate the Service, including hosting, database, email, analytics, AI inference, and payment providers. We require these processors to use your information only on our instructions.
8. Data Retention
We retain personal information for as long as needed to provide the Service, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce agreements. Account data is generally deleted within 90 days of an account-deletion request, subject to limited backups and legal-hold exceptions.
9. International Data Transfers
We may transfer personal data to countries other than your own, including the United States. Where required, we rely on Standard Contractual Clauses, the UK IDTA/Addendum, or other lawful transfer mechanisms.
10. Your Rights
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to:
- Access, correct, or delete your personal information.
- Object to or restrict certain processing.
- Port your data to another service.
- Withdraw consent at any time.
- Opt out of "sale" or "sharing" of personal information (CCPA/CPRA).
- Lodge a complaint with your local data-protection authority.
To exercise any right, email privacy@khaoslive.com.
11. California Residents (CCPA/CPRA)
We do not sell personal information for money. We may "share" limited identifiers with analytics providers; you may opt out by emailing us. We do not use sensitive personal information for purposes that require an opt-out under CPRA.
12. Account Deletion
You can request account deletion in-app or by emailing privacy@khaoslive.com. Some information may be retained as required by law or for legitimate operational purposes (e.g., fraud prevention).
13. Children's Privacy
The Service is not intended for children under 13 (or the minimum digital-consent age in your jurisdiction). If we learn we have collected personal information from such a child, we will delete it.
14. Security
We implement administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect your information. No system is perfectly secure; we cannot guarantee absolute security.
15. Changes to this Policy
We will notify you of material changes via the Service or email.
