Shizue Privacy Policy

Last updated: 2026-11-11

Effective from the day Shizue accounts and the Shizue subscription open. Until then, what it says about accounts, points, and the subscription applies to no one.

This policy explains how personal data is handled in Shizue accounts, points, the Shizue Intelligence subscription, Shizue's relay server, and the shizue.ai website.

• What the extension does on your device (your API keys, Sign in with ChatGPT, page content and so on) is covered by the extension's privacy policy.
• The Shizue app is not out yet. What applies to the app will be added to this policy when it is.

1. Who we are

Shizue is run by Hyungrok Kim, a sole proprietor registered in the Republic of Korea under the business name Shizue ("we", "us"). We are the controller of the data described here.

• Business name: Shizue
• Representative and privacy contact: Hyungrok Kim
• Address: B103, 266 Seocho-daero, Seocho-gu, Seoul, Republic of Korea
• Contact: q0115643@gmail.com

2. What we collect and why

• Account: the email address you sign in with. If you sign in with Google or Apple, we also receive the account identifier that company gives us. We use these to create your account, sign you in, and tell you about changes to prices or terms.
• Points: your points balance, the missions you completed, and who invited whom. We use these to award and spend points.
• Subscription: your plan, its billing period and status, and the customer and subscription numbers Paddle assigns. We use these to apply your subscription. Payment details such as card numbers go to Paddle, not to us.
• Usage: for each request sent on a Shizue account, the time, the model, and the amount used. We use these to show the gauge in the settings and to apply your plan's limit.
• Messages to us: what you send by email or on Discord, and how to reach you. We use these to reply.

3. What we do not keep

• Request content: requests on a Shizue account pass through our relay server to the AI provider. The relay does not store or log their content: your questions, page content, or the model's answers.
• Requests on your own AI account: with your own AI account, such as Sign in with ChatGPT, requests go directly from your device to that provider and do not pass through our servers.
• Cookies and tracking: the shizue.ai website uses no cookies, no analytics, and no ad tracking.

4. Who receives data

We do not sell personal data. Others receive data only in the cases below, or when the law requires it.

• Paddle (Paddle.com Market Ltd, United Kingdom) processes payments as the Merchant of Record for all our orders. Paddle receives your name, email, payment details and the address needed for tax directly, and handles them under Paddle's privacy policy.
• OpenRouter (OpenRouter, Inc., United States) and the model's provider receive the content of requests sent on a Shizue account, in order to run the model. OpenRouter's privacy policy and the model provider's policy apply.
• Server hosting: accounts and the relay run on Amazon Web Services (AWS), in its Seoul region.
• Website: shizue.ai is served by Amazon CloudFront (AWS) and loads fonts from Google Fonts. Both receive connection data such as your IP address when you open a page.
• Sign-in: if you sign in with Google or Apple, that company learns that you signed in to Shizue.

These companies may process data outside the Republic of Korea and outside the country where you live.

5. How long we keep it

• Account, points and subscription data are kept until you delete your account, and are then erased without delay.
• Usage records are kept for one year, and then deleted.
• Records the law requires us to keep are kept separately for the period that law sets, and then erased.

6. Your rights

• You can ask us to show, correct, or erase your data, or to stop processing it. Email q0115643@gmail.com and we will answer within 10 days.
• You can delete your account yourself at any time in the account settings.
• You can also complain to the data protection authority where you live. In Korea, that is the Personal Information Infringement Report Center (privacy.kisa.or.kr, call 118).

7. Children

You must be at least 14 years old to create a Shizue account. If we learn that we hold data from someone younger, we erase it.

8. Security

Traffic between your device and our servers is encrypted (HTTPS). We access personal data on the servers only when running the service requires it.

9. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy. We will post the new version here with its effective date at least 7 days before it applies. If a change adds to the data we collect or to who receives it, we will also tell you by email.
