Earth LinC

◇ Legal

Privacy Policy

Effective August 24, 2026

Earth LinC respects user control over their creative work, personal context, and AI-assisted creations.

Earth LinC provides a protocol layer where users can establish and grow their own Realm. Through authorized AI connections, including MCP-compatible clients, users may create, continue, and publish Stations within their Realm.

This policy explains what we receive, what we do with it, what leaves our systems, and what you can ask us to change or delete. Two parts of Earth LinC are permanent by design — published images and on-chain records — and those are described plainly in their own sections below rather than buried in a list.

1Data Access Through MCP

When a user connects Earth LinC through ChatGPT, Claude, or another compatible AI client, Earth LinC may receive information necessary to provide the requested action.

This may include:

• User account identity information
• Authentication information
• User requests submitted through the AI client
• Content and instructions required to create or update Stations
• Agent and harness flow configuration created by the user
• Publication information related to user-created Stations

Earth LinC only accesses information necessary to perform the requested action. A connected AI client cannot read Stations that do not belong to the authorizing account, and cannot change the spending limit on that account — that setting can only be changed by the account holder, signed in on the Earth LinC website.

2What Else We Collect

Beyond what arrives through an AI client, we collect the following in the course of running the service:

We do not receive or store full payment card numbers. Card details are entered directly with our payment processor and never reach Earth LinC's systems.

3User Authorization

Earth LinC requires users to have an Earth LinC account and authorize AI clients to access Earth LinC capabilities.

Users control:

• Which AI systems they connect
• Which actions they authorize
• Which creations become part of their Realm
• Which Stations remain private
• Which Stations are published publicly

AI access is permission-based and limited to supported capabilities. An authorization can be revoked at any time, from the Earth LinC website or from the AI client itself.

4Data Ownership and Control

Users retain control over the content and creations they create through Earth LinC. Earth LinC does not claim ownership of user-created content.

A user's Realm represents their own continuing space within the Earth LinC Protocol. AI systems provide capabilities for creation and continuation but do not become the owner or source of the user's intelligence.

5Data Usage

Earth LinC uses information to:

• Provide requested AI-assisted creation services
• Create and manage Stations
• Maintain account functionality
• Improve reliability and security
• Support user-requested publishing actions

Earth LinC does not sell user personal data, and does not share it with advertisers. We do not use the content of your Stations to train our own models.

6Public and Private States

Users decide whether a Station remains:

• Private
• Shared
• Published

Publishing a Station is an intentional user action. Private Realm context — your briefs, your edits, your unpublished drafts, and the list of Stations in your Realm — is not made public by Earth LinC.

7Blockchain and Permanent Records

Some Earth LinC features write a record to a public blockchain. This only happens when you ask for it, and you are told before it happens that the action cannot be undone.

What goes on-chain is public and permanent by the nature of the technology, not by our choice. It typically includes your wallet address, a timestamp, and a pointer to the associated content. Once written, we cannot edit, hide, or delete it — no one can, including us. This is the one place where a deletion request cannot be honored, and it is why the action is confirmed separately before it runs.

8Security

Earth LinC uses appropriate technical measures to protect:

• User accounts
• Authentication credentials
• Authorized connections
• User-created content

Data is transmitted over encrypted connections and stored with a managed cloud database provider. No system is perfectly secure; if a breach affects your data we will notify you as required by law.

9How Long We Keep Things

10User Rights

Users may:

• Access their Earth LinC account and the content in it
• Correct account information that is wrong
• Manage and revoke connected AI clients
• Request a copy of their data
• Request deletion of their account or data
• Control public and private states of their creations
• Object to a particular use of their data, or withdraw consent

Depending on where you live, these may be legal rights rather than courtesies — including under the GDPR in the European Economic Area and the UK, and under the CCPA in California. We apply them to everyone regardless of location. To exercise any of them, write to support@earthlinc.earth; we answer within 30 days and we will not charge you or degrade your service for asking.

The two limits on deletion are the ones named above: content already published to IPFS, and records already written on-chain. Everything else we hold, we can and will delete.

11Third-Party AI Clients

Earth LinC MCP allows authorized AI clients, such as ChatGPT and Claude, to connect with Earth LinC capabilities. Each AI client operates according to its own privacy practices, and what you type into that client is governed by that client's policy before it ever reaches us.

12Service Providers

We use a small number of outside providers to run the service. They receive only what their function requires, and are not permitted to use it for anything else.

13International Transfers

Earth LinC is operated from the United States, and the providers above operate globally. Using the service means your information may be processed in countries other than your own, including the United States. Where the law requires a transfer safeguard, we rely on standard contractual clauses with our providers.

14Children

Earth LinC is not intended for children. You must be at least 13 years old to hold an account, and at least 16 in the European Economic Area and the United Kingdom. We do not knowingly collect information from anyone below that age; if we learn that we have, we delete the account and its data.

15Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy as the service changes. The effective date at the top always reflects the current version. If a change materially affects your rights or how we use your information, we will notify account holders by email at least 14 days before it takes effect, so you can close your account first if you disagree.
