We at Communal AI (“Communal AI,” “Company,” “we,” or “us”) value your privacy. This Privacy Policy outlines our practices regarding the collection, use, and protection of Personal Information when you visit our website at https://communal.site (“Site”) or use our Chrome extension and associated services (collectively, the “Services”).

  • Personal Information from Workspace Context: When you use our Services within supported platforms (e.g., Google Docs), we temporarily collect contextual data from your active document or project to provide relevant AI advice. This data is used only for the duration of the session and is not stored or shared (“Contextual Data”).
  • Personal Information from Social Media Interactions: If you engage with our social media pages, we may collect information you choose to provide, such as contact details (“Social Information”).

We implement commercially reasonable technical, administrative, and organizational measures to protect Personal Information from loss, misuse, or unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction.
