5. DO WE OFFER ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE-BASED PRODUCTS?
Novelity LLC is an AI-first company and offers products and features that use Artificial Intelligence (AI) to enhance the user experience. For instance, our AI features can help you generate content or summarize information. When you use these AI-powered features, certain data, including your inputs, may be processed by our AI models. This processing is done to provide the AI functionality you request and to improve the accuracy and performance of our AI models over time. We implement safeguards to protect your privacy when using AI features, such as anonymizing data where possible and restricting the use of your data for model training without your explicit consent.
6. DO WE COLLECT INFORMATION FROM MINORS?
We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under the age of 13. If you are under 13, please do not use or provide any information on our Services.

If you believe that we might have any information from or about a child under 13, please contact us at privacy@novelity.com.
7. HOW LONG DO WE KEEP YOUR INFORMATION?
We retain your personal information for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this Privacy Policy, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law (such as tax, accounting, or other legal requirements). When we no longer have an ongoing legitimate business need to process your personal information, we will either delete or anonymize it, or, if this is not possible (for example, because your personal information has been stored in backup archives), then we will securely store your personal information and isolate it from any further processing until deletion is possible.
8. HOW DO WE KEEP YOUR INFORMATION SAFE?
We have implemented appropriate technical and organizational security measures designed to protect the security of any personal information we process. However, despite our safeguards and efforts to secure your information, no electronic transmission over the Internet or information storage technology can be guaranteed to be 100% secure, so we cannot promise or guarantee that hackers, cybercriminals, or other unauthorized third parties will not be able to defeat our security and improperly collect, access, steal, or modify your information.

We cannot respond to your request or provide you with personal information if we cannot verify your identity or authority to make the request and confirm the personal information relates to you. Making a verifiable consumer request does not require you to create an account with us. We will only use personal information provided in a verifiable consumer request to verify the requestor's identity or authority to make the request.
Response Timing and Format
We endeavor to respond to a verifiable consumer request within forty-five (45) days of its receipt. If we require more time (up to 90 days), we will inform you of the reason and extension period in writing.
If you have an account with us, we will deliver our written response to that account. If you do not have an account with us, we will deliver our written response electronically.
Any disclosures we provide will only cover the 12-month period preceding the verifiable consumer request's receipt. The response we provide will also explain the reasons we cannot comply with a request, if applicable. For data portability requests, we will select a format to provide your personal information that is readily usable and should allow you to transmit the information from one entity to another entity without hindrance.
We do not charge a fee to process or respond to your verifiable consumer request unless it is excessive, repetitive, or manifestly unfounded. If we determine that your request warrants a fee, we will tell you why we made that decision and provide you with a cost estimate before completing your request.
