Privacy Policy
Last updated: March 29, 2026
1. Introduction
Intrect ("we", "our", "us") operates the ArtifactNet API and Dashboard services. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your information when you use our Services.
2. Information We Collect
| Data Type | What | Purpose |
|---|
| Account Info | Name, email, profile picture (via Google OAuth) | Authentication and account management |
| API Keys | Hashed key values, usage timestamps | API authentication and rate limiting |
| Usage Data | API call counts, batch metadata, timestamps | Billing, analytics, and service improvement |
| Audio Files | Uploaded audio for analysis | AI detection processing only |
| Detection Results | Verdicts, probabilities, generator IDs | Providing the service and result history |
3. Audio File Handling
We take the privacy of your audio content seriously:
- Immediate deletion: Audio files are deleted immediately after feature extraction completes. Raw audio is never persisted to disk beyond the processing window.
- Forensic data retention: Derived spectral features (STFT residuals, classification vectors) are retained for 30 days to support result verification and dispute resolution. These features cannot be used to reconstruct the original audio.
- No training: Your audio and derived features are never used to train or improve our models
- No sharing: Audio content and forensic data are never shared with third parties
- Encryption: All data is encrypted in transit (TLS) and at rest
4. How We Use Your Information
- To provide and maintain the detection service
- To authenticate your identity and authorize API access
- To track usage for billing purposes
- To send service-related notifications (outages, updates, billing)
- To comply with legal obligations
5. Information We Do Not Collect
- We do not use tracking cookies or advertising pixels
- We do not sell your data to third parties
- We do not analyze the musical content of your uploads beyond AI detection
- We do not retain audio files beyond the processing window
6. Data Retention
| Data | Retention Period |
|---|
| Audio uploads | Immediately deleted after feature extraction |
| Forensic features (STFT, residuals) | 30 days, then auto-deleted |
| Detection results | Until account deletion |
| Account information | Until account deletion |
| Usage logs | 12 months for billing purposes |
| API key hashes | Until key revocation or account deletion |
7. Data Security
We implement appropriate technical measures to protect your data:
- TLS encryption for all data in transit
- API keys stored as SHA-256 hashes (never in plaintext)
- JWT tokens with 7-day expiration
- Infrastructure access restricted to authorized personnel
8. Third-Party Services
We use the following third-party services:
- Google OAuth: For user authentication. Subject to Google's Privacy Policy
- AcoustID / MusicBrainz: Audio fingerprint matching for verification (optional). Only fingerprint hashes are transmitted, not audio content
9. Your Rights
You have the right to:
- Access: Request a copy of your personal data
- Correction: Request correction of inaccurate data
- Deletion: Request deletion of your account and associated data
- Export: Download your detection results (JSONL, CSV, XLSX)
- Revocation: Revoke API keys at any time via the Dashboard
10. International Data Transfers
Our primary infrastructure is located in South Korea. If you access the Services from outside South Korea, your data may be transferred to and processed in South Korea. By using the Services, you consent to this transfer.
11. Children's Privacy
The Services are not directed to individuals under 18. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
