Last updated: September 23, 2026

This Privacy Policy (this “Policy”) describes how Anatolii Ekimkin, an individual residing in Orlando, Florida, United States of America (“AuthorWorkplace” (formerly PromptyFlow), “we”, “us”, or “our”), collects, uses, discloses, and otherwise processes information in connection with the authorworkplace.com website (the “Website”) and the AuthorWorkplace application, including the AuthorWorkplace Bridge companion software (collectively, the “Service”). By accessing or using the Service, you acknowledge the practices described in this Policy.

1. User Content

As set forth in the Terms of Service, you retain ownership of the manuscripts, notes, and other creative materials that you create, upload, or generate through the Service (“User Content”). User Content is processed in order to provide the features of the Service, including, without limitation, displaying your work to you and maintaining backup copies of it, including automatic backups. We do not use User Content for third-party advertising purposes.

2. Information collected in connection with the Website

The categories of information we collect through the Website may include, without limitation:

  • Waitlist information. If you elect to join the waitlist, we collect your email address and the language in which you write. The waitlist is administered on our behalf by a third-party email service provider under such provider's own privacy policy.
  • Analytics information. We use Google Analytics (provided by Google LLC), Yandex Metrica (provided by YANDEX LLC), and Cloudflare Web Analytics (provided by Cloudflare, Inc.) to understand how visitors find and use the Website. Such information may include, without limitation, the pages viewed, the referring website or campaign, clicks and interactions with page elements (such as starting a video or joining the waitlist), approximate location derived from your IP address, and device, browser, and language information. Session recording (Yandex Metrica “Webvisor”) and Google Signals are disabled. Section 3 describes the related cookies and your choices.
  • Technical logs. Our hosting, network security, and content delivery providers maintain standard server logs, which may include IP addresses, for security and reliability purposes.

3. Cookies and analytics choices

The Website uses the following cookies and similar technologies:

  • Preference storage. If you select a language from the Website menu, a cookie named pf_lang stores your choice for one year. Your response to the cookie notice is stored in your browser’s local storage under the name pf_consent.
  • Google Analytics sets cookies whose names begin with _ga, which are retained for up to two years.
  • Yandex Metrica sets cookies whose names begin with _ym, which are retained for up to one year, and may use cookies and local storage associated with Yandex domains.

Visitors in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, and Switzerland. We determine your approximate region from the network location of your request. If you visit from one of these regions, the Website asks for your consent before any analytics cookie is set. Until you accept, Yandex Metrica is not loaded, and Google Analytics receives only cookieless signals (such as the page viewed and the fact that consent was not given) through Google Consent Mode. Accepting enables analytics cookies only; advertising cookies remain disabled. You may change or withdraw your choice at any time through the “Cookie settings” link at the bottom of each page; withdrawing consent deletes the analytics cookies set by the Website.

Visitors in other regions. Analytics cookies are set when you visit the Website. You may block or delete cookies through your browser settings, or use the opt-out tools that Google and Yandex make available, such as the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on. Blocking cookies does not affect your ability to use the Website.

The processing of analytics information by Google and Yandex is also subject to their respective privacy policies.

4. Information collected in connection with the application

The categories of information we collect through the application may include, without limitation:

  • Account information, such as your email address and a sign-in identifier.
  • Device information relating to the computers you connect to your account, enabling you to view and manage such devices.
  • Backups of your work, together with related details (such as the title of the work, its size, and the date of the backup). Backups include copies that you create and copies that the application creates automatically after you work on a novel.
  • Service usage and quality information. We may collect, analyze, and otherwise process information arising from or relating to the use of the Service — including, without limitation, features accessed, actions taken within the interface, technical and diagnostic events, performance data, and content processed through the Service — for the purposes of operating, maintaining, securing, and improving the quality, performance, and capabilities of the Service, developing new features and functionality, and preventing fraud and abuse.
  • Cookies required for authentication and session security. The application does not use advertising cookies. Interface preferences, such as language and theme, are stored locally in your browser.
  • Technical logs, including the IP address, time, and outcome of sign-in and registration attempts, maintained for security, abuse prevention (such as rate limiting and the blocking of abusive addresses), and troubleshooting purposes.

5. Purposes of processing

We use the information described above to provide, operate, and administer the Service; to communicate with you; to protect the Service and its users; to understand, analyze, and improve the Service; and to comply with applicable legal obligations. We do not sell personal information.

6. Third-party AI providers

The Service interoperates with third-party artificial-intelligence providers through your own subscriptions, accounts, and API keys. Your use of any such provider is governed solely by your own agreement with that provider, and such provider's terms of service and privacy policy apply to the processing it performs. We are not a party to, and assume no responsibility for, that relationship.

7. Disclosure of information

We may disclose information: (a) to service providers that support the operation of the Service, including, without limitation, hosting, network security and content delivery, email, and analytics service providers; (b) where required by applicable law, regulation, legal process, or governmental request, or where necessary to protect the rights, property, or safety of AuthorWorkplace, the Service, or its users; and (c) in connection with any merger, reorganization, or transfer of all or part of the business, including, without limitation, to any legal entity that we may establish or to any successor operator of the Service, in which case this Policy shall continue to apply.

8. Retention

We retain information for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this Policy. Backups that you create remain available to you until you delete them. The application retains only a limited number of the most recent automatic backups and deletes older automatic backups without notice. Sign-in records containing IP addresses are retained for 90 days and are then deleted; they are deleted earlier if you delete your account. Google Analytics retains event-level Website analytics information for 14 months; Yandex Metrica retains information in accordance with its own retention practices. Certain limited records may be retained for longer periods where necessary for the security and integrity of the Service or to comply with applicable legal obligations.

9. Security

We employ reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect information against unauthorized access, use, or disclosure. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

10. Your rights and choices

You may delete your account, and you may request access to, correction of, or deletion of your personal information, at any time by contacting us at the address set forth below. We will respond within a reasonable time and will honor requests as required by applicable law. Where the privacy laws of your jurisdiction afford you additional rights, you may exercise them in the same manner. Every marketing email we send contains an unsubscribe mechanism.

If you are located in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, or Switzerland, we process personal information on the following legal bases: the performance of our agreement with you, in order to provide the application; your consent, for analytics cookies on the Website; and our legitimate interests in operating and securing the Service, including preventing abuse and understanding aggregate use of the Website. You have the right to access, rectify, erase, restrict, or object to the processing of your personal information, the right to data portability, the right to withdraw consent at any time without affecting the lawfulness of processing before its withdrawal, and the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority.

11. International transfers

The Service is operated from the United States, and information is processed and stored in the United States. If you access the Service from another jurisdiction, you acknowledge that your information will be transferred to, and processed in, the United States. Website analytics information may also be processed by Google in the United States and other countries, and by Yandex on servers located in the Russian Federation, where data protection laws may differ from those of your jurisdiction. If you are located in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, or Switzerland, Yandex Metrica is loaded only if you accept analytics cookies, and by doing so you consent to such transfer.
