Privacy Policy

Quill AI is operated by Asynchronous Studios, based in the United Kingdom. We provide an AI-powered blog writing tool at tryquillai.com.

If you have any questions about this policy or how we handle your data, contact us at asynchronousstudios@gmail.com.

Account information: When you create an account, we collect your email address and name via Clerk, our authentication provider.

Usage data: We store the number of posts you have generated and your credit balance in Upstash Redis.

Payment information: Payments are processed by Stripe. We do not store your card details — these are handled entirely by Stripe.

Analytics data: We use Google Analytics to collect anonymised data about how visitors use the site, including pages visited, time on site, and general location (country/city level).

Advertising data: We use Google AdSense to display advertising. AdSense may collect data about your browsing behaviour to serve relevant ads.

Cookies: We use cookies for authentication (Clerk), analytics (Google Analytics), and advertising (Google AdSense). We also store your dark mode preference in localStorage, which stays on your device and is not transmitted to us.
