Privacy Policy

1. Who we are

Literary Agents (“we,” “us”) is an AI writing service operated by Robert Theodore Torres, a sole proprietor based in California, United States. It lets you converse with AI writing companions that work in the styles of great literature. This policy explains what we collect, why, and the choices you have. It applies to writewiththegreats.com and every service we operate under this name.

2. What we collect

We keep collection to what the product needs to function:

• Account information. Your email address, sign-in timestamps, and the session records needed to keep you signed in. We use passwordless email links, so we never hold a password for you.
• Conversations. The messages you send and the replies the AI generates, stored so your conversation history works. If you use the service without an account, your messages are processed to generate a reply but are not stored on our servers.
• Usage and billing. Message counts (for the monthly allowance), your plan, and — if you subscribe — your Stripe customer and subscription identifiers. Your card number goes to Stripe directly and never touches our servers.
• Technical data. IP addresses and similar request metadata, used for rate limiting, abuse prevention, and security logs; and the cookies described below.

We run no third-party advertising or tracking scripts, and we do not build advertising profiles.

3. How we use information

To provide the service: generating replies, keeping your history, metering the free and paid allowances, processing subscriptions, preventing abuse, and answering support email. We also use aggregate, de-identified counts (such as total messages per day) to operate and improve the service. That is the full list — we do not use your information for advertising, and we do not sell it.

4. AI processing — and no training on your content

To generate a reply, the messages in your current conversation are sent to our configured model provider, which processes them and returns the response you see. We do not use your conversations to train AI models, and we engage model providers on API terms under which your content is not used to train their models either.

5. Subprocessors

We share personal information only with the vendors that run the service, each bound by its own data-protection terms:

• Vercel — application hosting
• Neon — database hosting
• Stripe — payments and subscription billing
• Resend — transactional email (sign-in links)
• Model providers — AI inference (Anthropic, Together AI, or Fireworks AI, depending on configuration)

Beyond these, we disclose information only if the law requires it or to protect the rights, safety, or integrity of the service and its users.

6. Cookies

Two first-party cookies, both httpOnly: a session cookie that keeps you signed in, and a small counter that meters the anonymous free trial. No third-party cookies, no cross-site tracking.

7. Retention and deletion

We keep your data while your account is active. You can delete individual conversations in the app at any time; deletion removes them from our production database. To delete your account and everything in it, email hello@writewiththegreats.com from your account address — we complete deletion requests within 30 days, after which residual copies age out of encrypted backups on our providers’ standard schedules. Billing records are retained as required by tax and accounting law.

8. Your rights (GDPR and CCPA)

Wherever you live, we honor the core rights: access to your data, a copy of it in a portable format, correction, deletion, and objection to processing. If you are in the EU/EEA or UK, our legal bases are performance of a contract (running the service you signed up for) and legitimate interests (security and abuse prevention). If you are a California resident, the CCPA gives you the rights to know, delete, and correct; we do not “sell” or “share” personal information as those terms are defined in the CCPA, and we honor requests without discrimination. Exercise any of these by emailing hello@writewiththegreats.com; we may need to verify the request came from your account address.

9. Security

All traffic is encrypted in transit (TLS); data is encrypted at rest by our hosting providers; access to production systems is limited to the operator. Webhooks are signature-verified and API routes are rate limited. No system is perfectly secure — if a breach affects your personal information, we will notify you as the law requires.

10. Children

The service is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect their information. If you believe a child has created an account, contact us and we will delete it.

11. Changes to this policy

If we change this policy in a material way, we will update the date at the top and, for significant changes, notify account holders by email. Continued use after a change means you accept the updated policy.
