Privacy Policy

SharePause is owned and operated by Willnata LLC (“Willnata,” “SharePause,” “we,” “our,” or “us”). This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, process, store, disclose, and protect information when you use the SharePause mobile application, website, Trust Cards, related services, and any other features, tools, pages, or services that link to this Privacy Policy collectively, the “Services.”

SharePause is an AI-assisted content-checking app designed to provide a second opinion before users trust, forward, post, or share content. SharePause may analyze text, screenshots, images, and related user-submitted content to provide confidence-based share-safety ratings, supporting context, and other informational guidance.

By using the Services, you acknowledge that you have read and understand this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree with this Privacy Policy, do not use the Services.

2. How We Use Information

We may use information we collect for the following purposes:

• To provide, operate, maintain, and improve SharePause
• To authenticate users and manage accounts
• To process submitted content and generate analysis results
• To save check history, ratings, Trust Cards, and related account features
• To provide confidence-based share-safety guidance

• To develop, test, and improve features, models, scoring systems, user experience, and trust-related tools
• To comply with legal obligations and enforce our Terms of Use

3. AI-Assisted Analysis and Automated Processing

SharePause uses AI-assisted analysis to help identify potential trust signals, risk signals, missing context, manipulation indicators, AI-writing signals, visual concerns, unsupported claims, and other factors that may affect whether content should be trusted or shared.

SharePause may use third-party artificial intelligence providers, cloud infrastructure providers, database providers, authentication providers, analytics providers, monitoring tools, and other service providers to operate the Services. These providers may process user-submitted content, account data, technical data, and analysis-related information only as needed to provide services to us or as otherwise permitted by their terms and applicable law.

SharePause currently uses Supabase for authentication, backend infrastructure, data storage, and related app functionality. SharePause may also use a Supabase Edge Function or similar server-side process to send submitted content to AI providers for analysis.

AI-assisted outputs are probabilistic and may be inaccurate, incomplete, inconsistent, outdated, or misleading. SharePause does not guarantee that any analysis result, rating, explanation, Trust Card, or recommendation is correct.

4. Important Limitations of SharePause Results

SharePause provides informational guidance only. SharePause is not a truth engine, fact-checking authority, censorship platform, professional advisor, legal advisor, medical advisor, financial advisor, emergency service, or final decision-maker.

SharePause results should be treated as a second opinion, not proof. Ratings and explanations may help users think more carefully before sharing content, but users remain solely responsible for their own decisions, posts, shares, reliance, conclusions, and actions.

You should not rely on SharePause as your only source of information for legal, medical, financial, safety, emergency, political, reputational, employment, academic, or other high-stakes decisions. When appropriate, consult qualified professionals, official sources, or authoritative references.

5. User Content License and Permissions

By submitting content to SharePause, you represent that you have the necessary rights and permissions to submit that content for analysis.

You grant SharePause and Willnata LLC a limited, worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to host, store, copy, reproduce, transmit, process, analyze, display, transform, summarize, and otherwise use submitted content solely for purposes related to operating, providing, securing, supporting, improving, and developing the Services, including generating analysis results, saved history, and Trust Cards.

This license does not give SharePause ownership of your submitted content. You retain whatever ownership rights you may have in content you submit.

6. Images, Screenshots, Faces, and Sensitive Content

Images and screenshots submitted to SharePause may contain personal information, faces, names, usernames, locations, messages, health information, financial information, political content, or other sensitive information. Please review content carefully before uploading it.

SharePause is not designed to identify individuals, verify identities, create biometric profiles, or authenticate a person’s identity. We do not intentionally collect biometric identifiers or biometric information for the purpose of identifying a specific person.

Do not submit highly sensitive, confidential, private, unlawful, or restricted information unless you are authorized to do so and understand the risks of submitting that information for analysis.

7. Trust Cards and Shared Results

SharePause may allow users to create, save, export, or share Trust Cards or summaries of analysis results. Trust Cards are intended to provide context and should not be treated as proof, certification, endorsement, verification, or a guarantee of truth or safety.

If you choose to share a Trust Card or analysis result outside SharePause, you are responsible for that sharing activity and for ensuring that you do not misrepresent the result, remove important context, harass others, defame others, or use SharePause outputs in a misleading way.

8. Advertising, Analytics, and Future Monetization

SharePause does not currently use third-party advertising SDKs in its active beta build. Certain beta features may simulate rewarded-ad behavior for testing purposes without showing real third-party ads.

In the future, SharePause may introduce rewarded ads, subscriptions, premium features, analytics tools, attribution tools, or advertising-related technologies. If we introduce third-party advertising or materially change how we use advertising data, we will update this Privacy Policy and, where required, provide additional notices or choices.

We may use analytics and diagnostic tools to understand app performance, feature usage, errors, crashes, and aggregate trends. These tools help us improve reliability, usability, security, and product quality.

9. Cookies and Website Technologies

Our website may use cookies, pixels, local storage, analytics tools, embedded content, or similar technologies to operate the website, understand usage, improve performance, prevent abuse, and support future marketing or analytics features.

Browser settings may allow you to block or delete certain cookies. Some website features may not work properly if cookies are disabled.

10. How We Share Information

We may share information in the following circumstances:

• Service Providers: With vendors and infrastructure providers that help us operate, host, store, analyze, secure, monitor, or improve the Services.
• AI and Cloud Providers: With AI, database, authentication, hosting, storage, logging, and server-side processing providers as needed to provide analysis and app functionality.
• Legal Compliance: When required by law, subpoena, court order, legal process, or government request.
• Safety and Security: When we believe disclosure is necessary to protect rights, safety, property, users, the public, the Services, or Willnata LLC.
• Business Transfers: In connection with a merger, acquisition, financing, reorganization, sale of assets, bankruptcy, or similar transaction.
• With Your Direction or Consent: When you choose to share content, Trust Cards, results, or other information, or when you otherwise direct us to disclose information.

We do not sell personal information in exchange for monetary compensation.

11. Data Retention

We retain information for as long as reasonably necessary to provide, maintain, protect, and improve the Services; comply with legal obligations; resolve disputes; enforce agreements; prevent abuse; maintain security; support account features; and preserve business records.

Retention periods may vary depending on the type of information. For example, account information, saved check history, Trust Cards, analysis results, usage logs, security logs, support communications, and backup records may be retained for different periods.

If you delete your account or request deletion of certain information, we will make reasonable efforts to delete or de-identify applicable information, subject to legal, security, backup, fraud-prevention, dispute-resolution, and legitimate business needs.

Aggregated, anonymized, or de-identified information may be retained and used without restriction where it no longer reasonably identifies you.

12. Security

We use commercially reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards designed to protect information from unauthorized access, loss, misuse, alteration, and disclosure.

However, no method of transmission, processing, or storage is completely secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security of any information submitted to or processed by SharePause.

You are responsible for maintaining the security of your account credentials and for using caution when submitting sensitive information.

13. Your Choices and Privacy Rights

Depending on where you live, you may have certain rights regarding your personal information. These may include the right to:

• Request access to personal information we maintain about you
• Request correction of inaccurate information
• Request deletion of certain information
• Object to or restrict certain processing
• Request portability of certain information
• Opt out of certain data uses where applicable
• Withdraw consent where processing is based on consent

To make a privacy request, contact us at support@sharepause.com. We may need to verify your identity before fulfilling certain requests. We may deny or limit requests where permitted by law.

14. California Privacy Notice

If you are a California resident, California law may provide additional rights regarding personal information. Subject to applicable limitations, these may include rights to know, access, correct, delete, and opt out of certain sharing or sales of personal information.

SharePause does not sell personal information for monetary compensation. If future advertising or analytics activities are considered “sharing” or “selling” under applicable California privacy laws, we will update this Privacy Policy and provide required choices.

California residents may submit privacy requests by contacting support@sharepause.com.

15. International Users

SharePause is operated from the United States. If you access the Services from outside the United States, you understand that your information may be transferred to, stored in, and processed in the United States or other countries where we or our service providers operate.

These countries may have privacy laws that differ from the laws in your jurisdiction.

16. Children’s Privacy

SharePause is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If we become aware that we have collected personal information from a child under 13, we will take reasonable steps to delete it.

If you believe a child has provided personal information to SharePause, contact us at support@sharepause.com.

17. Prohibited or Restricted Submissions

You should not submit content that is illegal, harmful, malicious, exploitative, invasive of privacy, confidential without authorization, or otherwise prohibited by our Terms of Use.

We may remove, restrict, preserve, review, or disclose information if we believe it is necessary to enforce our policies, comply with law, prevent abuse, protect users, or protect the Services.

18. Third-Party Links and Services

The Services may contain links to third-party websites, app stores, platforms, tools, or services. We are not responsible for the privacy practices, content, or policies of third parties. Your use of third-party services is governed by their own terms and privacy policies.

19. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we update it, we will revise the “Last Updated” date above. Material changes may be communicated through the app, website, email, or other reasonable methods where required by law.

Continued use of the Services after an updated Privacy Policy becomes effective means you acknowledge the updated policy.
