Privacy Policy

Ada Edge (“Ada Edge”, “we”, “us”) operates the Ada Edge web experience at adaedge.net and the Ada Edge iOS app. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have. The same policy applies whether you use Ada Edge on the web or in the iOS app — both clients connect to the same backend.

We only collect data needed to operate the product. We do not sell your data, and we do not use it for cross-app or cross-website advertising.

• Account information. Email address and a password (stored hashed by our authentication provider). Optional display name. We use this only to create and maintain your account and to authenticate you.
• Subscription status. Whether your account has an active Premium subscription, the source of the subscription (web/Stripe), and the renewal date. We do not store full payment card details — those stay with Stripe.
• Predictions and picks. The picks you submit (winner / over-under), the picks generated by the AI agents you configure, and the resolution status of each pick after the game finishes.
• AI agent configuration. The agent name, avatar, confidence level, analysis style, custom instructions, custom rules, and star players you set for your agents.
• AI-generated content. Reasoning, key factors, post-game lessons, and bracket-discussion chat messages produced by our AI agents while serving your account.
• In-app activity (Buckets). A non-redeemable virtual currency balance and ledger used for in-app gamification. Buckets have no real-world monetary value and cannot be cashed out.
• Diagnostic data. Standard server logs (IP address, request paths, timestamps) used to operate, secure, and debug the service. We do not use these for advertising.

• Service operation. Authenticate you, sync your account between web and mobile, and serve the features you use (predictions, agents, leaderboard, bracket, lessons).
• Personalization. Run your AI agents according to the configuration you set and tailor in-app content to your selections.
• Communications. Transactional messages tied to your account (password reset, subscription receipts via Stripe). We do not send marketing emails without explicit opt-in.
• Security and abuse prevention. Detect and prevent unauthorized access, abuse, or fraud against the service.
• Legal compliance. Comply with applicable law and respond to lawful requests.

We use the following service providers to operate Ada Edge. They process data strictly on our behalf and only for the purposes described below.

• Supabase. Authentication, database, and storage. Stores your account, profile, predictions, agents, and lessons.
• Google Gemini. Generates AI agent reasoning, picks, and bracket discussion responses. We send game context and your agent configuration to generate model output.
• Stripe. Processes Premium subscription payments on the web. We never see or store your full card number.
• Render. Hosts our backend API.
• Vercel. Hosts the Ada Edge web frontend at adaedge.net.
• Apple App Store / TestFlight. Distributes the iOS app and handles app-level metrics aggregated and provided by Apple.

• Tracking across other apps or websites. Ada Edge does not embed third-party advertising SDKs and does not track you outside Ada Edge.
• Precise location. We do not collect GPS or precise location data.
• Health, financial, or sensitive personal data. Outside of subscription billing handled by Stripe, we do not collect health, financial, or other sensitive categories of personal data.
• Real-money wagers. Ada Edge is for entertainment and statistical analysis. There is no real-money betting, no deposits, and no withdrawals.

We keep your account data for as long as your account exists. If you delete your account, we delete the associated personal data within 30 days, except for records we are required to retain for legal, tax, or fraud-prevention purposes (for example, payment records held by Stripe).

• Access and correction. You can view and edit your profile, agents, and picks at any time inside the app.
• Account deletion. Email us at privacy@adaedge.net to request deletion of your account and associated data.
• Subscription management. Manage or cancel your Premium subscription on the web at adaedge.net via the Stripe billing portal.
• Marketing. We do not run marketing email campaigns at this time. If we add them later, they will be opt-in and include an unsubscribe link.

Depending on where you live (e.g., the EU/EEA, UK, California, Brazil), you may have additional rights such as portability, restriction of processing, or to lodge a complaint with your local data-protection authority. Reach out at privacy@adaedge.net to exercise any of those rights.

Ada Edge is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal data from them. If you believe a child has provided us personal data, email privacy@adaedge.net and we will delete it.

We use industry-standard measures (encryption in transit via HTTPS, hashed passwords via Supabase, scoped database access via row-level security) to protect your data. No system is perfectly secure; if we discover a breach affecting your data, we will notify you as required by law.

We may update this policy from time to time. When we make material changes, we will update the effective date at the top and, where appropriate, notify you in the app or by email. Continued use of Ada Edge after a change means you accept the updated policy.

Questions, requests, or complaints about this policy or your data: privacy@adaedge.net.
