Privacy Policy for
The Collective

Last updated: July 8th, 2026

What We Collect

The Collective does not collect your name, email address, or any personally identifiable information.

When you first open the app, a random anonymous ID (UUID) is generated and stored on your device. This ID is used solely to track your credit balance on our servers. It is not linked to your identity in any way.

Our worker logs only:

• Device ID, timestamp, token count, and cost.
• No question text. No response content.

Your Questions

Questions you submit are sent to third-party AI providers (OpenAI ChatGPT, Anthropic Claude, Google Gemini, and xAI Grok) via their respective APIs to generate responses. We do not store your questions on our servers — they are processed through The Collective's secure backend, which shields your device from direct provider contact. Your query history is stored locally on your device only and is never transmitted to us.

Please review the privacy policies of these providers for information on how they handle API requests:

• Anthropic (Claude) privacy policy
• Google (Gemini) privacy policy
• OpenAI (ChatGPT) privacy policy
• xAI (Grok) privacy policy

Content Safety

Before a question is sent to the AI provider(s) you selected, it is checked by an automated content-safety classifier to screen for prohibited content (such as content involving the exploitation of minors or instructions for serious violence). This check may be performed by OpenAI, Google, or Anthropic's classifiers, regardless of which AI providers you selected.

Safety checks are evaluated in real time and the text is immediately discarded — your question is never stored by us during this process. If a question is declined, we record only the violation category and your anonymous device ID (never the question itself) to prevent repeated abuse.

AI Outputs & Liability

Centerline Dynamic, LLC acts strictly as a secure routing and aggregation service. We do not generate, endorse, or verify the content provided by the third-party AI models. Centerline Dynamic, LLC is not responsible or liable for the accuracy, reliability, or nature of the responses generated, nor for any actions, damages, or consequences resulting from your use of AI-generated information.

While automated safety classifiers are in place to block harmful requests (as detailed in Content Safety), AI models can still produce unpredictable or inaccurate results. You are solely responsible for evaluating AI outputs, verifying critical information, and exercising your own judgment.

In-App Purchases

Purchases processed by Google / Apple. We do not handle or store your payment information. Your credit balance is stored on our servers and associated only with your anonymous device ID.

Data Retention

Your anonymous device ID and credit balance are retained on our servers for as long as your account is active. You can request deletion by contacting us.

To request deletion, include your Transfer Code (long-press your balance in the app to copy it). This is the only way we can identify your record. We have no names, emails, or accounts linked to you until you send a request.

If you have cleared your app storage or uninstalled the app, your device ID no longer exists on your device or ours. In that case there is nothing to delete — no information in our system can be linked back to you.

Children's Privacy

The Collective is not directed at children under 18 and we do not knowingly collect information from minors.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy from time to time. Continued use of the app after changes constitutes acceptance of the new policy.
