Recipients

Telegram (Telegram FZ-LLC) — the aff.chat group, channel and bot run on Telegram; site sign-in is via Telegram.
Cloudflare — hosting and delivery of the site, forwarding of [email protected] mail.
Our aff.pro server — the shared request intake of the aff.inc group, where your early-access request is stored.
Language-model providers via our gateway — Anthropic, OpenAI, Google: they receive only the text of your question to the AI assistant, without your name, with a pseudonymous identifier.
E-mail sending service — we will send the launch e-mail through a mail service; its name will be listed here before sending.

We do not sell data or share it for advertising. Transfers outside the EEA and Serbia rely on the providers’ standard contractual clauses.

AI and messages

We do not use members’ messages to train models or turn them into datasets.
Only your question is sent to the assistant — without your name, with a pseudonymous identifier — through our gateway to language models.
A public answer archive, if launched, will include content only with your separate consent, without username or name, and with one-click withdrawal.
