What happens to the text you paste into AI Checker.
The short answer: text submitted to the free tier is processed in memory and discarded. We do not retain it, do not train on it, and do not sell it. The longer answer is below — including the controls available to you and the process for reporting a vulnerability.
In memory, encrypted in transit, never persisted on the free tier.
Submissions to the free tier are received over TLS 1.3, processed in memory by the detection pipeline, and discarded after the response is returned. There is no persistent storage of free-tier text. Aggregated request metadata (timestamp, request size, success/failure) is retained for operational reasons and is not joinable to the original submission.
Paid-tier customers may opt into history features (audit logs, team review queues). When that switch is on, retention is fully under the customer's control: configurable retention window, on-demand deletion, and an audit log showing exactly which team member accessed what. The default for paid teams is still “no retention”.
Your text never feeds our models.
AI Checker does not train, fine-tune, or evaluate detection models on user submissions. Detection signatures are calibrated against a public benchmark corpus and a small internal corpus we generate ourselves; both are versioned, documented, and rotated when models update. User text is excluded from every stage of that pipeline.
Our public AI crawler policy (/ai.txt) reflects the same posture for our own content: search and retrieval-augmented citation are allowed; training, fine-tuning, and inference evaluation are not.
GDPR, UK-GDPR, CCPA — fully honoured.
- Right to access & deletion. Email privacy@ai-checker.co. We respond within 30 days.
- Logging opt-out. Account holders can disable all request logging from the privacy panel. Free-tier anonymous use is, by default, unlogged at the request body level.
- Data portability. Paid-tier customers can export their full history (text, scores, audit log) as JSON at any time.
- Subprocessor list. Available on request. Today: Vercel (hosting), one transactional email provider. No advertising or analytics trackers.
Found a bug? Tell us, not the internet.
We welcome reports from independent security researchers. Email security@ai-checker.co with a description of the issue, reproduction steps, and any proof-of-concept material. We acknowledge within 72 hours and aim to resolve high-severity issues within 14 days. Our machine-readable contact is published at /.well-known/security.txt per RFC 9116.
Please act in good faith: avoid privacy violations, service degradation, and destruction of data; give us reasonable time to investigate before public disclosure. We will not pursue legal action against researchers who follow this policy.
