4. Legal Basis for Processing

Depending on your location, processing is based on one or more of the following legal grounds:

• Your explicit consent;
• Performance of a contract (providing the Services);
• Legitimate business interests (e.g., improving service functionality);
• Compliance with legal obligations;
• Protection of vital interests or defense of legal claims.

You may withdraw consent at any time by ceasing to use the Services and deleting your account.

5. Data Sharing and Disclosure

ZekAI may share information under strict conditions with:

• Service providers and affiliates assisting in hosting, analytics, or payments.
• Research and AI partners for algorithmic improvement or academic collaboration.

We do not sell or rent personal data to third parties.

All disclosures are limited to the minimum necessary for legitimate business or legal purposes.

6. Data Retention

We retain data for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes described above, unless a longer retention period is required by law or for legitimate business interests (e.g., fraud prevention, auditing).

AI-generated data, logs, and model training inputs may be stored permanently in anonymized or aggregated form, which cannot be reasonably linked back to any individual user.

Users may request deletion of identifiable data by contacting [email protected], subject to legal and technical limitations.

7. AI Model Training and Anonymization

By using ZekAI, you acknowledge and agree that:

• Your Inputs and Outputs may be analyzed, stored, and reused to improve AI model accuracy, safety, and performance.
• ZekAI may anonymize, aggregate, or tokenize such data before use.
• You grant Curiosity a perpetual, worldwide, royalty-free, sublicensable license to use submitted content for these purposes.
• Once anonymized, data cannot be retrieved, modified, or deleted.

8. International Data Transfers

Your data may be transferred and processed in countries other than where you reside, including jurisdictions with different data protection laws.

By using our Services, you consent to the transfer, processing, and storage of your data outside your country of residence — including to servers located in the European Union, United States, or Türkiye.

ZekAI applies appropriate contractual and technical safeguards consistent with GDPR, KVKK, and international standards.

9. Data Security

ZekAI implements industry-standard security measures, including encryption, access control, and regular system monitoring.

However, no method of transmission or storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute protection.

You acknowledge that you share data at your own risk and agree that ZekAI shall not be liable for any unauthorized access, breach, or disclosure beyond reasonable control.
