This explains what Sharq collects on withsharq.com and in AE-1 Public Testing (chat.withsharq.com), why, who processes it, and how to have it removed. Questions: hello@withsharq.com.
The website
- Analytics. We use Vercel Web Analytics and Speed Insights to count page views and measure page speed. They set no cookies and report in aggregate.
- Contact form. If you write to us, we keep your name, email, organisation and message to reply to you.
AE-1 Public Testing
- Your account. With “Continue with Google”, Google shares only your verified email and name with us; we receive no password and no access to your Google data.
- Staying signed in. A random session token in a cookie; we store only its SHA-256 hash. Sessions last 7 days.
- Your conversations. What you send and AE-1’s answers, including the text of any files you attach (files are read in your browser; only their text is sent), are saved in your History so you can come back to them. You can rename or delete any conversation from History.
- The model. AE-1 Public Testing answers with DeepSeek’s hosted model, so your messages are sent to DeepSeek to be answered. Don’t share confidential or personal information.
- Security log. Sign-ins and changes to accounts and conversations are recorded with the time, your IP address and your browser’s user agent, never the content of your messages.
- Daily limits. How many messages your account sent today.
- Contact. By using the test you agree that Sharq may contact you about AE-1.
Where it’s kept
The website runs on Vercel. AE-1 Public Testing runs on Modal, in the United States, with its data and backups there. We don’t sell your data or use it for advertising.
