Privacy Policy

1.Who We Are & What This Policy Covers

the legal owner of raliess.com ("Raliess," "we," "us," "our") owns and operates Raliess — a brand, website, and software of the legal owner of raliess.com. Raliess shows short, unobtrusive sponsored lines inside developer tools while an AI coding assistant is working, and pays the developer who displayed the ad a share of the ad revenue (currently 60% — see the Terms of Service). This policy explains what personal data we collect through the Raliess software and website, how we use and share it, and the choices you have. You must be 18 or older to use the Service (Section 12).

The most important things to understand: earning is opt-in, and we are a first-party advertising platform. Nothing is processed for advertising until you sign in and turn on earning. The ads you display come from advertisers who bid directly on Raliess; we serve those ads ourselves and do not share your personal data with external ad networks, demand platforms, or data brokers. Just as important: Raliess is built to never read your prompts, your code or file contents, or the AI's output (Section 4). These rules apply the same way to everyone, everywhere the Service is available.

2.Where the Service Is Available

The Service is available only where its operation is lawful (see our Terms of Service). Personal data we collect is processed and stored on cloud infrastructure operated by our service providers. Where operating the Service involves transferring personal data across borders, we use appropriate contractual and technical safeguards designed to protect it, and this policy applies to that data wherever it is processed. The same policy, the same rights, and the same choices apply to every user regardless of location.

3.Personal Data We Collect

We collect the categories below. "Shared for advertising" means disclosed to an advertising recipient under Section 6 — and because Raliess serves its own advertisers' ads without exposing your identity, the honest answer for almost everything is no.

We do not collect mobile advertising identifiers, phone numbers, dates of birth, or precise location. We do not buy supplemental attributes from data brokers, and we do not build interest profiles from your work.

4.What We Do Not Collect

• Your source code or file contents — never, in any mode.
• Your prompts, the AI's responses, or your chat history — never. We do not read, transmit, or store conversation content.
• To time ad display, the software reads only local session state on your device — whether a session is active and whether the current turn has finished — never its content. Ad telemetry carries only the fields listed in Section 3; by design it structurally cannot carry code, prompts, or model output.

5.How We Use Personal Data

• Operate the Service: serve ads during genuine waits, measure the qualifying activity that generates earnings, and credit your account.
• Pay you: payout processing and related tax/financial records.
• Protect the Service: fraud detection, invalid-traffic filtering, rate-limiting, device-pairing enforcement, and security.
• Improve the Service and communicate with you about your account.

We rely on these grounds as applicable law allows: performing our agreement with you (operating your account and paying you), your consent (serving ads when you enable earning, which you may withdraw at any time by turning it off), our legitimate interest in a secure and fraud-free service, and compliance with legal obligations.

6.Advertising & Data Sharing

Earning requires showing ads. Those ads come from advertisers who create campaigns and bid directly on Raliess; we serve them ourselves. Earning is opt-in — no advertising processing happens until you sign in and turn it on, and you can stop at any time by turning off earning or signing out.

What advertisers receive. An advertiser sees only aggregate results for their own campaign — how many impressions and clicks were delivered and how much budget remains. They do not receive your email, your IP address, your identity, or any per-user profile. To detect invalid traffic and prevent overspend, we process device/network signals internally; these are not disclosed to advertisers.

Because monetizing ad delivery is how the Earnings Program funds your share, opting out of advertising ends program participation — see Sections 10 and 11.

7.How We Disclose Personal Data

We disclose personal data only to service providers acting on our instructions, and where the law requires:

• Advertiser funding (USDC). Advertisers fund campaigns in USDC; we process on-chain payment confirmations to credit a campaign. Public blockchain transactions are outside our control.
• Developer payouts. Payout providers (for example, a UPI rail and a gift-card issuer) process the destination you provide to deliver your earnings.
• Infrastructure, authentication, and storage — cloud providers acting as our processors.
• Transactional email — email delivery providers for account and service messages.
• Website analytics and advertising cookies — only as described in Section 9.
• Legal, safety, and corporate — where required by law or legal process, to protect rights and safety, or in a merger, acquisition, or asset sale (your data stays subject to this policy).

We do not sell your name or plain-text email address, and we do not share them with advertisers.

8.Google User Data

Our use of information received from Google APIs adheres to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including its Limited Use requirements. Specifically, we:

• Use your Google email and display name only to identify your account and credit earnings.
• Do not use Google user data for advertising, retargeting, or profiling — including in hashed form.
• Do not sell, rent, or share Google user data with data brokers.
• Do not use Google user data to train AI or machine-learning models.

9.Cookies & Website Analytics

This section applies to the Raliess website only — the software uses no cookies. Strictly-necessary cookies (sign-in, security, and the record of your own cookie choice) are always active because the site cannot function without them. Analytics and advertising-measurement cookies are optional: you can accept or reject them through our cookie banner and the "Your Privacy Choices" settings, and the site remains fully usable if you decline. We honor a Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal from your browser as a valid opt-out for information collected through the website, and the banner cannot override that signal. We self-host our web fonts, so loading a page does not send your IP to a third-party font service. We treat "Do Not Track" as unsupported by current standards; GPC and the controls in Section 10 are the operative ones.

10.Your Privacy Rights & Choices

We offer the same choices to everyone. You may request: access to / a copy of your personal data, correction, deletion, and opt-out of the advertising monetization described in Section 6. We will not discriminate against you for exercising these choices. Please note what opting out of advertising means here: showing ads is what the Service does, so it ends ad serving and earning for your account — your account and accrued eligible balance remain, and you can delete the account whenever you wish (Section 11).

• In the product: turn off earning to stop all advertising processing; manage or remove your paired device on the Device page.
• Know / correct / delete / opt-out: email [email protected], or use the request form at raliess.com/privacy-choices. For information collected through the website, you may also send GPC from your browser.
• Automated decisions: we do not profile you to make decisions with legal or similarly significant effects, except fraud- and abuse-prevention enforcement; where such a decision significantly affects you, you may request human review (Terms of Service).

Verification. We verify requests by matching them to the email on the account, or a reply-to confirmation from it; if we cannot verify a request, we will tell you what is missing. Timelines. We confirm receipt within a reasonable time and respond without undue delay, and in any case as promptly as applicable law requires. No fee unless a request is excessive, repetitive, or manifestly unfounded, in which case we will explain before proceeding. Authorized agents. You may use an authorized agent with your written, signed permission; we may confirm the request with you directly. Appeals. If we deny a request, reply to our decision or email [email protected] with "Appeal" in the subject; a person not involved in the original decision will review it.

Global Privacy Control (GPC). Our website honors GPC as an opt-out of the sale or sharing of information collected through the website; when your browser sends GPC, analytics and advertising cookies are disabled. The software cannot receive browser signals; there, your in-product earning setting is the control. We do not participate in the IAB TCF or GPP frameworks.

11.The Earnings Program (Financial Incentive)

The Earnings Program pays you a share (currently 60%) of the ad revenue your displayed ads generate. Participation and ad-data processing are inseparable: the program cannot pay you without measuring and monetizing ad delivery. Opting out of advertising therefore ends participation and future accrual — accrued eligible balances are still paid out under the Terms of Service. Joining is opt-in; withdraw at any time by turning off earning.

How earnings work. Earnings accrue on qualifying impressions — a genuine on-screen view of at least five seconds during a real wait — and on other earning-eligible engagement. Once payouts are enabled for your account, your balance is disbursed when it exceeds the then-current Payment Threshold (currently US $2), subject to a daily payout limit of US $10.00, fraud screening, and the payout and forfeiture rules in the Terms of Service, which control if this summary differs.

What personal information is involved. A pseudonymous account/session ID; your IP only in salted/transformed form; network activity (ad delivery and interaction events, device and version data); approximate (city/region) location; and payout data used to administer earnings. See Sections 3 and 6, which control if wordings differ.

Estimated value. We estimate the value of a participating user's data to us at less than US $5 per participating user per year, net of program operating expenses, calculated as aggregate program advertising revenue divided by active participating users, annualized from a stabilized recent period. This is reasonably related to the incentive we pay — your 60% share of that same revenue. Where any law treats this program as a loyalty, rewards, or financial-incentive program, its material terms are those described in this Section and the Terms of Service; you join by enabling earning and may withdraw at any time.

12.Personal Data of Children

The Service is for adults. You must be 18 or older to create an account, and sign-up requires an affirmative "I am 18 or older" attestation. The Service is not directed to children, and we do not knowingly collect personal data from anyone under 18 — if we learn we have, we terminate the account and delete the data. Parents or guardians who believe a child has an account may email [email protected] with the account email; we will verify, terminate the account, and delete the associated data (Section 13). Any balance is handled under the Terms of Service.

13.Data Retention

We keep personal data while your account is active and afterward only as long as needed for the purposes in this policy: fraud prevention, financial reconciliation and tax records, dispute resolution, and legal compliance. Abandoned balances are handled in accordance with applicable law. When you delete your account, we first pay out any balance eligible for payout, then delete or de-identify your personal data, keeping only records we are required or permitted to retain. De-identified data is kept in a form not reasonably capable of identifying you, and we do not attempt to re-identify it.

14.Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards designed to protect personal data — including owner-only storage of the device session, salted hashing of IP addresses in our ledger, signed and single-use serve tokens, and one-device-per-account enforcement. No system is perfectly secure.

15.Changes to This Policy

We may change this policy from time to time. When we do, we update the effective date above and alert you to material changes by a notice on the Raliess website, an email, and/or a notice in the product. If you use the Service after changes are posted, you agree to them, except where our Terms of Service or applicable law require advance notice or your affirmative consent.
