Privacy Policy
This privacy policy applies to the Reggie.Bot website and app (hereby referred to as "Application") that was created by Kyle Eichlin and Wesley Eichlin (hereby referred to as "Service Provider") as a Free service. This service is intended for use "AS IS".
Information Collection and Use
The Application collects the following when you use it:
- The questions you ask. The text of a question is sent to the Service Provider's server and on to OpenAI, which generates the answer. Questions are not stored by the Service Provider and are not sent to any analytics service. OpenAI's handling of them is governed by OpenAI's Terms of Service.
- Usage information, on the website only. The pages you visit, when you visit them, and the links you follow out of the site. This is collected through Google Analytics.
- An approximate location, on the website only. Google Analytics derives an approximate location from your IP address. It is used to understand where the Application is used from, in aggregate.
- Anything you send through the contact form. The subject, your message, and the contact details you choose to give — that field is optional, and the form works without it.
The Application does not request, read or use your device's location. It holds no location permission on any platform, and the approximate location described above is inferred by Google from the network you connect over rather than measured by your device. It is not used to personalise content, to rank answers, or to provide any location-based feature.
The Android app contains no analytics at all. The usage and approximate-location collection described above applies to the website; the app sends nothing beyond the questions you ask and anything you submit through the contact form.
Third Party Access
The Application relies on these services, and only these:
- OpenAI receives the text of your questions in order to answer them.
- Google Analytics (website only) receives page views, outbound link clicks, and the IP address from which an approximate location is derived. See Google's Privacy & Terms page.
- Google Cloud Run hosts the service that answers questions, and records standard server logs. See the Google Cloud Privacy Notice.
- Supabase serves the publication database, over a read-only key.
- GitHub Pages hosts the website itself.
The Service Provider does not sell your information, and does not share it with anyone other than the services listed above.
The Service Provider may disclose User Provided and Automatically Collected Information:
- as required by law, such as to comply with a subpoena, or similar legal process;
- when they believe in good faith that disclosure is necessary to protect their rights, protect your safety or the safety of others, investigate fraud, or respond to a government request;
- with their trusted services providers who work on their behalf, do not have an independent use of the information we disclose to them, and have agreed to adhere to the rules set forth in this privacy statement.
Opt-Out Rights
On the website, you can stop analytics collection by installing Google's opt-out browser add-on, or by blocking analytics cookies in your browser. The Application works normally either way.
In the app, you can stop all collection by uninstalling it, using the standard uninstall process on your device or through the marketplace you installed it from.
Asking no questions and sending no messages means nothing is transmitted for either.
Data Retention Policy
Questions are not retained by the Service Provider. Contact form submissions are retained in the Service Provider's server logs. Website analytics are retained by Google under Google Analytics' own retention settings.
If you would like data you have provided through the contact form deleted, contact kyle@ark.place and the Service Provider will respond in a reasonable time.
Children
The Service Provider does not use the Application to knowingly solicit data from or market to children under the age of 13.
The Service Provider does not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from children. The Service Provider encourages all children to never submit any personally identifiable information through the Application and/or Services. The Service Provider encourage parents and legal guardians to monitor their children's Internet usage and to help enforce this Policy by instructing their children never to provide personally identifiable information through the Application and/or Services without their permission. If you have reason to believe that a child has provided personally identifiable information to the Service Provider through the Application and/or Services, please contact the Service Provider (kyle@ark.place) so that they will be able to take the necessary actions. You must also be at least 16 years of age to consent to the processing of your personally identifiable information in your country (in some countries we may allow your parent or guardian to do so on your behalf).
Sensitive Information
Do not include sensitive or confidential details in a question. Questions are sent to OpenAI to be answered, so they should be sanitized of specifics such as names, units, locations, times and anything else you would not put into a public search engine. The Application searches only publicly released Army publications and is not intended for handling confidential material.
Security
The Service Provider is concerned about safeguarding the confidentiality of your information. All traffic uses HTTPS, and the Service Provider provides physical, electronic, and procedural safeguards to protect information the Service Provider processes and maintains.
Changes
This Privacy Policy may be updated from time to time for any reason. The Service Provider will notify you of any changes to the Privacy Policy by updating this page with the new Privacy Policy. You are advised to consult this Privacy Policy regularly for any changes, as continued use is deemed approval of all changes.
This privacy policy is effective as of 2026-08-29.
Your Consent
By using the Application, you are consenting to the processing of your information as set forth in this Privacy Policy now and as amended by us.
