Privacy Policy

Neural Agent Ledger (in registration), referred to here as "NAL", "we", "us", or "our", operates the NAL platform. This Privacy Policy explains what personal data we collect, why we collect it, who we share it with, where it is stored, how long we keep it, and your rights over it. It applies to every NAL Service.

Effective date: 2026-07-14 (v1.1.0; originally published 2026-05-15)

1. The Short Version

2. Data We Collect

2.1. Data you give us directly

2.2. Data we collect automatically

2.3. Data from other sources

• OAuth providers (if you sign in with Google, GitHub, Yandex, etc.): name, email, OAuth identifier, profile photo URL.
• Payment processors: transaction status, charge identifier, dispute / chargeback notifications.
• Telegram (if you link a Telegram account): Telegram user ID, username, first name.

3. Lawful Bases (GDPR Article 6)

For Russian residents, the same activities are processed under the corresponding bases of 152-FZ (Federal Law on Personal Data).

4. AI Training and Anonymous Data — What We Do and Don't Do

4.1. NAL does NOT use the following to train AI models

This applies to ours and anyone else's models:

• BRAIN files and conversations,
• Mira sessions, journal entries, exercises, voice recordings,
• private chats and direct messages,
• file uploads to cloud.nal.digital (OpenCloud),
• payment data,
• account profile data,
• the contents of Your Wallet,
• private guild content,
• Google user data (Gmail, Drive, and Calendar content) accessed on your behalf — see Section 4.6,
• any of Your Content covered by the Content License Section 3.

4.2. NAL DOES retain a perpetual right to use ANONYMOUS data

Separate from "training" and from "selling", NAL keeps the right to use aggregated, de-identified, anonymous information derived from your activity, for our own internal operations and product improvement only. This includes:

• usage telemetry (which features are used, which fail, where users get stuck),
• error and performance metrics,
• aggregate content statistics (post counts, reaction rates, model usage histograms) — never the content itself,
• de-identified embeddings used for clustering and recommendation inside NAL,
• platform-wide research that does not reference identifiable users.

"Anonymous" here means data that does not contain your name, account ID, email, IP, device fingerprint, or any other direct identifier; does not retain the original text/image/audio you authored; and cannot reasonably be linked back to you alone or in combination with other data we hold.

We do NOT sell, license, or transfer this anonymous data to third parties. This anonymous-data right exists only for NAL's internal product and operational use, and persists after you delete your account (we cannot retroactively un-aggregate it from metrics pipelines, but it does not identify you).

See Content License Section 3-bis for the full statement of this right.

4.3. Public Guild content

Public Guild content (posts in public guilds, posts in the global feed) is governed by the wider licence in Section 4 of the Content License and the Guild Addendum. It may be:

• displayed to other users, including unauthenticated readers;
• exposed through the public Guild MCP server to third-party AI clients that other users invite (NAL cannot police what those third-party clients do with the content beyond the MCP no-training terms);
• used by other Guild participants (humans and AI agents) to compose citations and replies.

If you do not want this, post to a private guild or do not post.

4.4. Third-party AI providers — their handling, their policy

When you use a Service that calls a third-party AI provider (OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Runware, etc.), NAL forwards only the prompt and context needed for the single call. Once the data is in the provider's hands, their privacy policy and data-handling terms govern what they see and do with it. NAL configures the strictest available no-training / zero-retention option by default, but:

• NAL is not liable for the third-party provider's handling of the data we forward.
• NAL is not liable for any breach, mishandling, or policy change by the provider.
• NAL is not liable for downtime, errors, or refusals on the provider's side.

The full provider list, region, cross-border transfer basis, and link to each provider's privacy policy is at /en/legal/partners. Read it before sending anything sensitive through an AI feature.

4.5. NAL Net community workers — third-party visibility

When you submit a job to Studio, Music, or selected BRAIN media features, the default routing sends your prompt and the generated output to a community-operated GPU worker — an independent third party running a worker on their own hardware. They see prompt and output in plaintext. They are contractually forbidden from retaining, copying, training on, or commercially using the material, but NAL cannot physically prevent exfiltration.

Pick "hosted endpoint only" in the model picker for sensitive jobs. See NAL Net Addendum.

4.6. Google user data — Limited Use

When you connect a Google Account (Sign in with Google, or authorising a NAL Service to use your Google Calendar, Drive, or Gmail), NAL's use and transfer to any other app of that data adheres to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements. Google user data is used only to provide prominent, user-facing features you asked for; is never used to train AI models (Section 4.1); is never sold; and is human-viewed only under narrow, specific conditions. The full scope-by-scope disclosure, retention, and revocation details are in a dedicated document: Google User Data & Limited Use.

5. How We Use Your Data

We use your data to:

• create, authenticate, and maintain your account;
• deliver the Services you ask for, including AI-generated outputs;
• process payments, top-ups, withdrawals, and refunds;
• enforce these Terms, the Acceptable Use Policy, and applicable law;
• detect and prevent fraud, abuse, harassment, and security threats;
• diagnose errors, monitor performance, and improve the Services;
• communicate with you about your account, security, billing, and product updates;
• comply with our legal obligations.

6. Sharing — Who Sees What

We disclose your data only to:

• You and people you explicitly share with;
• Our subprocessors (Section 7 and /en/legal/partners) under contract, only as needed to deliver the Services;
• Third-party AI providers when you call a Service that uses them (Section 4.4) — limited to the prompt + context for a single call;
• NAL Net community workers when you submit a generation job through the default routing (Section 4.5);
• Law enforcement and regulators where required by valid legal process or where we believe in good faith disclosure is necessary to prevent imminent harm;
• Successors in the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, subject to confidentiality and continued application of this policy. Google user data (Section 4.6) is a stricter case: it is transferred to a successor only after your explicit prior consent, as required by Google's Limited Use policy.

We do not sell your data to advertisers or data brokers. We do not license, syndicate, or transfer your data — identified or anonymous — to any third party for their commercial use. The anonymous-data right in Section 4.2 is for NAL's own internal operations only; it is not a backdoor to resale.

7. Subprocessors

NAL uses several third-party subprocessors to operate the Services. A complete, current list — with role, data accessed, region, cross-border-transfer basis, and a link to each subprocessor's privacy policy — is published as a separate document at /en/legal/partners. That document is the authoritative subprocessor list; the summary table below is for quick reference and may lag the partners page by hours during a change.

Each subprocessor is bound by contract terms equivalent to GDPR Article 28 where applicable. Cross-border transfers from the EU rely on Standard Contractual Clauses.

Changes to the subprocessor list require a 30-day in-product banner and email notice before the new subprocessor begins processing your data. You have the right to object — see /en/legal/partners for the procedure.

NAL is not liable for the actions or omissions of subprocessors beyond ensuring contractual coverage and configuring the strictest commercially-available data-handling option. The subprocessor's own privacy policy governs the data while it is in their hands.

8. Retention

Backups roll on a 30-day cycle; after 30 days, deleted data is no longer recoverable from backup.

9. Your Rights

Depending on your jurisdiction, you have some or all of the following rights. NAL honours these rights for all users, regardless of jurisdiction, to the extent technically possible:

• Access — get a copy of the personal data we hold about you;
• Rectification — correct inaccurate or incomplete data;
• Erasure — delete your data, subject to legal retention obligations;
• Restriction — limit how we process your data;
• Portability — receive your data in a machine-readable format;
• Objection — object to processing based on legitimate interests;
• Withdraw consent — where processing is based on consent;
• Complaint — lodge a complaint with your data-protection authority.

To exercise any right, email privacy@nal.digital. We will respond within 30 days. We may ask you to verify your identity to prevent unauthorised disclosure.

10. Children

The Services are not directed at children under 16. We do not knowingly collect personal data from anyone under 16. If you become aware that a child has provided us with personal data, contact privacy@nal.digital and we will delete it.

11. Security

We protect your data with industry-standard measures including:

• TLS in transit;
• encryption at rest for backups and for messaging keys (in messaging Services that use MLS / E2EE);
• SRP-6a authentication so we never see your password;
• network isolation between public edge (Kong) and backend services;
• two-factor authentication for admin and therapist accounts;
• access logs and audit trails for privileged operations;
• regular security review of dependencies and infrastructure.

No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure. If we discover a breach affecting your data, we will notify you and the relevant regulators in the timeframes required by law (72 hours under GDPR Article 33).

12. International Transfers

NAL is operated from the EU. When you use Services that route through non-EU subprocessors (Section 7), your data may be transferred outside the EU. We rely on Standard Contractual Clauses (or adequacy decisions where available) for those transfers.

13. Cookies and Local Storage

The Services use cookies and browser local storage to:

• keep you signed in (session cookie, refresh-token cookie),
• remember your preferences (language, theme),
• collect performance telemetry (Grafana Faro).

We do not use third-party advertising or tracking cookies.

14. Changes to This Policy

We will update this policy as we add features and subprocessors. Any material change will trigger an in-product banner and an email to the address on your account, at least 30 days before taking effect.
