1. Introduction

Welcome to Aimbrary.

Aimbrary (“Aimbrary”, “we”, “us”, or “our”) is an artificial intelligence-powered personal knowledge management application designed to help individuals capture, organise, connect, retrieve, and understand information.

We recognise that the information entrusted to Aimbrary may be personal, confidential, or important to its users. Protecting that information is a fundamental consideration in how we develop and operate our Services.

This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, process, store, disclose, retain, and protect personal data when you access or use Aimbrary, including our mobile application, associated websites, and related services (collectively, the “Services”).

Aimbrary is currently operated by an individual developer and is undergoing beta testing. Following incorporation, the Services may be operated by a registered legal entity, in which case this Privacy Policy will be updated accordingly.

We process personal data in accordance with applicable data protection laws, including Malaysia’s Personal Data Protection Act 2010 (Act 709), as amended (“PDPA”), where applicable.

By accessing the Services, you acknowledge that you have been provided with this Privacy Policy.

4. Artificial Intelligence and Third-Party Processing

Aimbrary integrates artificial intelligence technologies to provide its core functionality.

4.1 OpenAI Integration

Aimbrary uses the OpenAI API to support certain AI-powered features.

Depending on the feature requested, relevant User Content, prompts, or contextual information may be transmitted to OpenAI for processing.

Such processing may include generating embeddings, analysing information, and producing AI-generated responses.

We seek to limit information transmitted to what is reasonably necessary for the requested functionality.

4.2 AI Model Training

Aimbrary does not intentionally submit User Content for the purpose of training general-purpose AI models.

Under OpenAI’s standard API data policies, API inputs and outputs are not used to train OpenAI models by default unless the API customer explicitly opts into such use.

OpenAI may nevertheless retain and process certain information for service operation, security, abuse monitoring, or other purposes permitted under its applicable terms and data policies.

4.3 AI Accuracy

AI-generated outputs are probabilistic and may contain inaccuracies, omissions, or misleading interpretations.

Knowledge relationships, summaries, classifications, and other AI-generated information should not be regarded as independently verified facts.

Users remain responsible for evaluating important information before relying on it.

5. Data Storage and Infrastructure

Aimbrary uses Supabase to support database, authentication, and storage functionality.

Depending on the Services used, information stored through Supabase may include:

• Account information;
• User Content;
• Knowledge entries;
• Semantic embeddings;
• Knowledge relationships;
• Application metadata;
• Authentication records.

Information may be stored or processed using infrastructure located outside Malaysia.

The location of primary data storage depends on the hosting region configured for the relevant infrastructure.

We take reasonable steps to ensure that service providers handling personal data are subject to appropriate contractual, technical, and organisational safeguards.

6. Data Sharing and Disclosure

We do not sell User Content or personal data to data brokers.

6.6 Business Reorganisation

If Aimbrary undergoes incorporation, restructuring, merger, acquisition, or transfer of operations, relevant information may be transferred to the successor operator, subject to applicable legal requirements.

We will provide appropriate notice where required.

7. User Content and Ownership

You retain ownership of the original content you submit to Aimbrary, subject to any applicable third-party rights.

Aimbrary does not acquire ownership of your original notes, documents, or other User Content merely because you use the Services.

We process User Content only to the extent necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy or otherwise lawfully authorised.

Generated embeddings, knowledge graphs, and related derived information may be processed and stored as part of the functionality of the Services.

Where such derived information constitutes personal data, it remains subject to applicable data protection rights and requirements.

• Monitoring and incident investigation.

Access to personal data is restricted to authorised persons and service providers with a legitimate operational need.

Despite these precautions, no electronic system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

Users should maintain the confidentiality of their account credentials and notify us promptly if they suspect unauthorised account access.

9. Data Retention

We retain personal data only for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfil the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, subject to applicable legal obligations.

In general:

Account information: Retained while your account remains active and for any additional period reasonably required for legal, security, or administrative purposes.

We will delete, anonymise, or securely dispose of personal data when it is no longer required, subject to applicable legal requirements.

10. Account and Data Deletion

Aimbrary provides users with the ability to delete their accounts.

You may initiate account deletion through the relevant functionality within the application.

Account deletion is intended to remove the personal data and User Content associated with your account from active systems, including associated derived information where applicable.

Certain information may be retained temporarily where necessary for:

12. Consent and User Choices

Where consent is required under applicable law, we will seek appropriate consent before processing personal data.

You may withdraw consent where permitted by law.

Withdrawal of consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before withdrawal.

Certain information is necessary for the operation of Aimbrary.

If you decline to provide required information or withdraw consent for essential processing, some or all Services may become unavailable.

Where personal data is requested, we will distinguish between information necessary to provide the Services and information that is optional.

13. International Data Transfers

Aimbrary uses third-party infrastructure and AI service providers that may operate internationally.

Consequently, personal data may be transferred to, stored in, or processed in jurisdictions outside Malaysia.

Such jurisdictions may have data protection laws that differ from those applicable in Malaysia.

Where international transfers occur, we will take steps required by applicable law to ensure appropriate protection of personal data.

These steps may include contractual safeguards, assessments of applicable legal protections, and other recognised transfer mechanisms.

14. Children’s Privacy

Aimbrary is not intended for children under 13 years of age.

Users must also satisfy any higher minimum age or parental authorisation requirements applicable in their jurisdiction.

We do not knowingly collect personal data from children in violation of applicable law.

If we become aware that such information has been collected, we will take appropriate steps to delete it or otherwise address the matter in accordance with applicable law.

Parents or guardians may contact us regarding concerns about a child’s personal information.

15. Beta Testing

Aimbrary is currently undergoing beta testing.

During this period, we may collect additional technical information and feedback reasonably necessary to identify defects, evaluate performance, and improve the Services.

Beta versions may contain incomplete features, software errors, or functionality that changes during development.
