Welcome to Idea2Create. Your privacy is important to us. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, store, and protect your personal data and submitted content when you use our platform.

1. Who We Are
   Idea2Create is a digital platform that enables users to submit innovative ideas and receive AI-generated insights, summaries, and downloadable reports. The platform is developed and managed by DETAY Studio.

2. What Information We Collect
   We may collect the following types of information:

• Personal Information: Name, email address, and any optional profile information provided during registration.

• Submitted Content: Any ideas, descriptions, or text you submit through our idea forms.

• Usage Data: Information about your activity on the platform, such as pages visited, submission times, and device/browser details.

• Communication Data: Any emails, messages, or inquiries sent to our support or contact addresses.

3. How We Use Your Information
   Your data is used to:

• Process your idea submissions and generate AI-powered reports.

• Send your personalized PDF reports via email.

• Provide customer support and respond to inquiries.

• Improve and optimize the functionality of the platform.

• Notify you about updates, improvements, or new features (if you opt in).

4. Public Idea Sharing (Optional)
   Users have the option to make their ideas publicly visible through the Open Innovation section. This is entirely voluntary. Only the idea content (title, summary, and related information) will be shown publicly — never your personal or contact details.

5. Data Security
   We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect your data from unauthorized access, loss, or misuse. Your data is encrypted during transmission and stored securely.

   Idea2Create uses external services, such as OpenAI’s ChatGPT API, to process and analyze idea content. No personally identifiable information is shared with these third-party services beyond what is necessary to generate AI responses. We do not sell or trade your personal data.

7. Cookies & Analytics
   We may use cookies or similar tracking technologies to improve user experience and gather analytics. You can adjust your browser settings to manage cookie preferences.

8. Data Retention
   Submitted ideas and reports are stored securely and retained as long as necessary to provide services or until you request deletion. Users may request data deletion at any time by contacting us.

9. Your Rights
   You have the right to:

• Access, modify, or delete your personal data.

• Request a copy of your data.
