Privacy.

Effective November 10, 2026.

This policy covers the Akashic Intelligence geographic research plugin in ChatGPT, provided by Akashic Intelligence LLC and published as Akashic Intelligence. It is separate from policies for the Akashic atlas website, the Akashic Intelligence corporate inquiry form, and ChatGPT itself.

Data the application uses

The application receives a Site-scoped authenticated owner identifier from its hosting environment and stores that identifier to isolate each owner's research. The current application database does not store account email addresses or display names as account fields. Research content you choose to provide can contain such information, so include only what is necessary for your analysis.

When you save or import research, the application stores Place names and descriptions, selected geographic units and revisions, imported aggregate datasets and source details, reporting snapshots, investigation questions, saved calculations and results, and evidence notes. It also stores record IDs, timestamps, and request-retry inputs and receipts to preserve history and prevent duplicate writes. Owner-data version records detect changes during exports and deletion previews.

When you prepare deletion, the application stores a hashed confirmation token, an owner-bound proof, the current data version, timestamps and the confirmation status. After erasure, the receipt keeps the token hash, owner-bound proof and timestamps for safe retries.

Use authorized aggregate records, public geographic features and only the information needed for your task. Keep out individual voter files, private addresses or precise personal locations, children's personal information, government identifiers, health records, payment card information, passwords, verification codes and authentication secrets.

How we use and disclose data

We use the data you provide to perform the analysis you request, reproduce saved results, restrict access to your workspace, preserve revision history and deliver your exports. We also process data as necessary to handle support or privacy requests, secure those operations and comply with applicable law.

The application returns requested information to OpenAI through the ChatGPT tools and interactive interface. Exports can include selected source rows, saved definitions, investigation questions and evidence notes. Review an export before sharing it. ChatGPT processes your requests, conversations and tool results under the terms and privacy settings of your ChatGPT account.

Hosting and service providers

OpenAI provides ChatGPT Sites hosting. The application uses a Cloudflare D1 database for saved workspace records. OpenAI's Sites Terms and applicable data-processing terms describe processing to host, maintain and support a published Site on the operator's instructions. Provider terms are available at https://openai.com/policies/chatgpt-sites-terms/ and https://openai.com/policies/chatgpt-sites-data-processing-addendum/.

OpenAI identifies Cloudflare as a web-hosting subprocessor for Sites. Its listed subprocessors may also provide infrastructure, content moderation and support. Hosting providers may run security and safety classifiers on Site pages and share the results with OpenAI and its subprocessors. The current list is available at https://openai.com/policies/sub-processor-list/.

Cookies and hosting operations

OpenAI's hosting layer can use cookies for sign-in, functionality, security and analytics. OpenAI's Cookie Policy lists .chatgpt.site authentication cookies and an analytics cookie, __Host-appgarden-visitor, with a 90-day duration. Cookie use can vary by region, service and privacy choices. See https://openai.com/policies/cookie-policy/.

Information returned by the plugin can become part of your ChatGPT conversation. OpenAI may use consumer ChatGPT conversations for model improvement when the account's Improve the model for everyone setting is on. OpenAI describes Site hosting and conversation processing separately. See https://help.openai.com/en/articles/20001339-creating-and-using-chatgpt-sites and your ChatGPT data controls.

Access, export, retention and deletion

Use Your data to see the categories and counts of your saved records, download a JSON copy of your workspace data, or request erasure. The export includes saved research and write-retry receipts. Deletion confirmation hashes and proofs stay in the application. If your saved data changes during export, restart the export.

Saved workspace data, including its owner identifier, version records and write-retry receipts, remains until you delete it. Erasure requires a preview of the affected categories and counts and your explicit confirmation. The application checks your account, the expiry and the data version before erasing records. If your data changes, request a fresh preview. You can cancel a pending preview.

Deletion confirmations expire after 15 minutes. The application removes expired requests and receipts during a subsequent deletion preparation or confirmation that runs cleanup. Application erasure covers your saved workspace records and write-retry receipts.

OpenAI and its hosting providers manage service logs and backup copies under their applicable terms and legal obligations. Where the Sites Data Processing Addendum applies, OpenAI returns or deletes hosted data and existing copies on the operator's instruction after the agreement ends, subject to legally required retention. Your ChatGPT account and conversations are governed by your ChatGPT data controls. You control copies you download or share.
