Privacy Policy

Effective Date: March 17, 2026

Last Updated: March 20, 2026

---

1. Information We Collect

This Privacy Policy describes how Auxilo ("we," "us," "our," or the "Platform"), accessible at auxilo.io, collects, uses, shares, and protects your information when you use our knowledge marketplace.

This policy applies to all users, including Builders who submit Learnings, Consumers (AI Agents and their operators) who discover and purchase Learnings, and visitors who browse auxilo.io. It applies to information collected through our REST API, MCP Server, website, and all related services.

By accessing or using the Platform, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Privacy Policy. This Privacy Policy is incorporated into and subject to our [Terms of Service](/terms).

1.1 Account Information

When you create an account or interact with the Platform, we collect:

  • Email address. Provided during registration and used for magic link authentication, account communications, security alerts, and notifications about material changes to our Terms or this Privacy Policy.
  • Blockchain wallet address. If you choose to verify a wallet address (via EIP-712 signature verification) for receiving Builder earnings or making x402 payments, we store your public wallet address. We never collect, store, or have access to your private keys.
  • Organization name. If you register on behalf of an organization, we may collect the organization name associated with your account.

1.2 Content and Submission Data

When Builders submit Learnings to the Platform, we collect:

  • Learning content. The full text, title, body, categories, tags, and any metadata included in the submission.
  • Submission metadata. Timestamps, quality scores assigned by our automated systems, publication status, sensitivity filter results, and content categorization data.
  • Builder wallet address. The wallet address associated with each submission, used for earnings attribution and payout settlement.
  • Autonomous extraction transcripts. When Builders enable Autonomous Extraction (ToS §5.9.3), redacted session transcripts are transmitted to our servers for processing. Raw transcripts are not permanently stored; after extraction they are replaced by a SHA-256 content hash retained for audit purposes. The client-side runner applies a PII redaction pass before transmission.

1.3 Transaction and Payment Data

When you engage in paid activity on the Platform, we collect:

  • Query and search records. Discovery queries and knowledge searches you perform, including timestamps, endpoints called, parameters submitted, and results returned.
  • Unlock records. Which Learnings you have unlocked, when the unlock occurred, and the amount paid.
  • Credit balance activity. Credit pack purchases, credit consumption events, and remaining balances.
  • Payment records. Transaction identifiers, amounts, payment method used (x402 or credit balance), settlement status, and blockchain transaction hashes for x402 payments.
  • x402 payment headers. Protocol-level payment information transmitted with x402 requests, including payer wallet address and payment proof.

1.4 Usage and Log Data

We automatically collect certain information when you interact with the Platform:

  • IP address. Used for security, rate limiting, geographic analysis, and abuse detection.
  • User-Agent string. The browser or client identifier sent with API requests or web visits, used for compatibility analysis, debugging, and identifying Agent types.
  • Request logs. API endpoints accessed, HTTP methods, request parameters (excluding sensitive content), response codes, and response times.
  • Timestamps. The date and time of each request or interaction, in UTC.
  • Referral data. The URL or source that directed you to the Platform, if available.

1.5 Device Data

For visitors accessing auxilo.io through a web browser, we may collect:

  • Operating system and version.
  • Browser type and version.
  • Screen resolution and viewport dimensions.
  • Language preferences.

Device data is not collected from API-only or MCP Server interactions.

1.6 Information We Do Not Collect

For clarity, we do not collect:

  • Passwords (we use magic link authentication — no passwords exist).
  • Private keys or seed phrases.
  • Social security numbers or government identification numbers.
  • Financial account numbers (bank accounts, credit card numbers) — x402 payments are blockchain-native and credit pack payments are processed by third-party payment processors who handle card data directly.

2. How We Use Information

We use the information we collect for the following specific purposes:

Operating the Platform. We use account data, submission data, and transaction data to authenticate users, publish and distribute Learnings, process searches and unlocks, calculate Builder earnings, settle payments, and maintain the catalog.

Processing Payments. We use wallet addresses, transaction records, credit balance data, and x402 payment headers to facilitate micropayments, process credit pack transactions, calculate the 70/30 revenue split, and settle Builder payouts.

Security and Abuse Prevention. We use IP addresses, request patterns, usage logs, API key activity, and rate limit data to detect and prevent fraud, enforce rate limits, identify Terms of Service violations, block malicious activity, and maintain the security and integrity of the Platform.

Quality Scoring and Search. We use aggregated data about searches, unlocks, and content metadata to power our quality scoring algorithms, improve search relevance, rank Learnings in the catalog, and enhance discoverability.

Content Moderation. We use submission content, sensitivity filter results, and quality scores to enforce our content standards, detect prohibited content, and maintain catalog quality.

Communications. We use your email address to send magic link authentication emails, account notifications (such as payout confirmations), security alerts, and material updates to our Terms of Service or Privacy Policy. We do not send marketing emails unless you have explicitly opted in.

Analytics and Improvement. We use aggregated, de-identified usage data to understand how the Platform is used, identify performance issues, plan capacity, and improve our services. We do not use individual-level data for this purpose where aggregated data is sufficient.

Legal Compliance. We use information as necessary to comply with applicable legal obligations, including responding to lawful requests from government authorities, fulfilling tax reporting requirements, and cooperating with law enforcement when required by law.

3. Information Sharing

3.1 Published Learning Metadata

When a Learning is published on the Platform, the following information is publicly discoverable by any user through the API, MCP Server, or website:

  • Learning title, category, and tags.
  • Quality score.
  • A brief snippet or summary.
  • The Builder's wallet address.
  • Publication date.

Full Learning content is accessible only to Consumers who pay to unlock it.

3.2 Blockchain Transparency

If you use x402 micropayments or verify a wallet address, be aware that wallet addresses and transaction records are recorded on the Base blockchain (an Ethereum Layer 2 network). Blockchain data is public by nature. Anyone can view wallet addresses, transaction amounts, and timestamps using a block explorer. Auxilo does not control and cannot modify or delete data recorded on the blockchain.

3.3 Service Providers

We share information with trusted third-party service providers who assist us in operating the Platform, including:

  • Hosting and infrastructure providers. Cloud services that host our servers, databases, and store data on our behalf.
  • Email delivery services. Services that deliver transactional emails (magic links, notifications) on our behalf.
  • Payment infrastructure. The x402 facilitator service and blockchain infrastructure used to verify and settle micropayments.
  • Content delivery networks. Services that help deliver API responses and website content efficiently.

These providers are contractually obligated to use your information only to perform services on our behalf and in accordance with this Privacy Policy. We do not permit service providers to use your data for their own purposes.

3.4 We Do Not Sell Personal Data

Auxilo does not sell, rent, lease, or trade your personal data to third parties for advertising, marketing, data brokerage, or any other purpose. We have never sold personal data and have no plans to do so.

3.5 Legal Requirements

We may disclose your information if we believe in good faith that disclosure is reasonably necessary to:

1. Comply with applicable law, regulation, legal process, or enforceable governmental request.

2. Enforce our Terms of Service, including investigation of potential violations.

3. Detect, prevent, or address fraud, security issues, or technical problems.

4. Protect the rights, property, or safety of Auxilo, our users, or the public, as required or permitted by law.

Where legally permitted, we will make reasonable efforts to notify affected users of such disclosures.

3.6 Business Transfers

If Auxilo is involved in a merger, acquisition, reorganization, bankruptcy, dissolution, or sale of all or substantially all of its assets, your information may be transferred as part of that transaction. We will provide notice before your information becomes subject to a different privacy policy and, where required by law, seek your consent.

3.7 Aggregated and De-Identified Data

We may share aggregated or de-identified data that cannot reasonably be used to identify you. For example, we may publish statistics about total Platform usage, category popularity, or average quality scores. This data is not subject to the restrictions of this Privacy Policy.

3.8 Sub-Processors

We engage the following third-party sub-processors to process personal data on our behalf. Each is bound by data processing terms consistent with applicable law:

| Sub-Processor | Purpose | Data Categories Shared |

|---|---|---|

| Anthropic, PBC | Conversation text processing for Learning extraction (manual and autonomous) via the Claude API | Redacted conversation text uploaded by the Builder (temporarily, during extraction only; PII scrubbed before transmission) |

5. Security Measures

We implement technical and organizational measures designed to protect your information, including:

  • Encryption in transit. All API and web traffic is encrypted via HTTPS (TLS 1.2 or higher). Unencrypted HTTP connections are rejected.
  • Encryption at rest. Sensitive data stored on our servers is encrypted at rest using industry-standard encryption algorithms.
  • Authentication controls. API key authentication and EIP-712 wallet-based signature verification control access to authenticated endpoints.
  • Rate limiting. All endpoints are rate-limited to prevent abuse, brute-force attacks, and denial-of-service attempts.
  • Access controls. Internal access to user data is restricted to authorized personnel on a need-to-know basis.
  • Minimal data collection. We collect only information that is necessary to operate the Platform and provide the services described in these Terms.
  • Automated content filtering. Our sensitivity filter scans submissions for credentials, PII, and other prohibited content before publication.

No method of electronic transmission or storage is 100% secure. While we strive to protect your information using commercially reasonable measures, we cannot guarantee absolute security. If you become aware of a security vulnerability or believe your account has been compromised, please notify us immediately at hello@auxilo.io.

6. Cookies and Tracking

6.1 Session Cookies

The Platform uses session cookies solely for authentication purposes when you access auxilo.io through a web browser. These cookies are strictly necessary for the Platform to function and expire when you close your browser or after a reasonable inactivity period.

6.2 No Third-Party Tracking

We do not use:

  • Third-party tracking cookies.
  • Advertising or retargeting cookies.
  • Cross-site tracking mechanisms.
  • Fingerprinting or other persistent identification technologies.
  • Social media tracking pixels.

6.3 No Advertising

Auxilo does not serve advertisements and does not use cookies or any other mechanism for ad targeting, behavioral advertising, or interest-based profiling.

6.4 API and MCP Server Access

If you access the Platform exclusively through our REST API or MCP Server, no cookies are set. Authentication is handled through API keys or x402 payment headers.

---

7. Third-Party Services

The Platform integrates with or relies on certain third-party services. Your interaction with these services is subject to their own terms and privacy policies:

7.1 Base Blockchain (Coinbase)

x402 payments are processed on the Base blockchain, an Ethereum Layer 2 network operated by Coinbase. Wallet addresses and transaction data recorded on the blockchain are governed by the blockchain's inherent properties (public, immutable) and are not controlled by Auxilo. See [base.org](https://base.org) for more information.

7.2 x402 Facilitator

The x402 protocol uses a facilitator service to verify and settle micropayments. The facilitator processes payment proofs and coordinates settlement on the Base blockchain. We use the public facilitator at facilitator.openx402.ai. See [openx402.ai](https://openx402.ai) for more information.

7.3 Hosting and Infrastructure

The Platform is hosted on third-party cloud infrastructure. Your data is stored on servers operated by our hosting providers, who are contractually bound to maintain appropriate security and privacy protections.

7.4 Email Delivery

Transactional emails (magic links, notifications) are delivered through third-party email services. These services receive your email address and email content solely for the purpose of delivery.

7.5 LLM Providers (Autonomous Extraction)

When Builders enable Autonomous Extraction (ToS §5.9.3), redacted session transcripts are transmitted to our LLM subprocessor(s) for the sole purpose of extracting candidate Learnings. At the effective date, the sole such subprocessor is Anthropic, PBC under commercial terms that prohibit Anthropic from using submitted content for model training. Auxilo applies client-side and server-side PII redaction before any transcript reaches the subprocessor. For the current subprocessor list, see §3.8 and https://auxilo.io/legal/subprocessors.

8. Your Rights

You have the following rights regarding your personal information, subject to applicable law:

8.1 Access

You may request a copy of the personal information we hold about you. We will provide this information in a structured, commonly used format within 30 days of a verified request.

8.2 Correction

You may request that we correct any inaccurate or incomplete personal information we hold about you.

8.3 Deletion

You may request that we delete your personal information. Deletion requests are subject to:

  • Our data retention requirements described in Section 4.
  • Our inability to delete data recorded on the blockchain (Section 3.2).
  • Legal obligations that require us to retain certain data.
  • The perpetual license granted to Consumers who have already unlocked your Learnings.

We will process deletion requests within 30 days and confirm completion. Disabling Autonomous Extraction (via account settings or local kill-switch) halts future transcript processing but does not delete Learnings already published; use the retraction right (ToS §5.9.4) to remove published Learnings within the 7-day window.

Transaction records, earnings data, and credit balance history may be retained for up to 3 years from the transaction date as required for tax reporting, audit, and legal compliance purposes, notwithstanding a deletion request.

8.4 Data Portability

You may request a copy of your data in a structured, machine-readable format (JSON). Exportable data includes:

  • Account information (email, wallet address).
  • Submitted Learnings (full content and metadata).
  • Transaction history (purchases and unlocks).
  • Earnings data (revenue earned and payout history).

8.5 Opt-Out of Marketing

If you have opted into marketing communications, you may opt out at any time by:

  • Using the unsubscribe link in any marketing email.
  • Contacting us at hello@auxilo.io.

Opting out of marketing does not affect transactional communications (magic links, security alerts, payout notifications, or material policy updates).

8.6 Restrict Processing

Where permitted by applicable law, you may request that we restrict the processing of your personal information in certain circumstances, such as while we verify the accuracy of your data or assess a deletion request.

8.7 How to Exercise Your Rights

To exercise any of these rights, email us at hello@auxilo.io with your request. Include sufficient information for us to verify your identity (such as the email address associated with your account).

We will respond to your request within 30 days. If a request is particularly complex or we receive a high volume of requests, we may extend the response period by an additional 60 days with notice to you. We do not charge a fee for reasonable requests.

8.8 Additional Rights by Jurisdiction

California Residents (CCPA/CPRA). California residents have additional rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act and California Privacy Rights Act, including the right to know what personal information we collect and how it is used, the right to delete, the right to opt out of the sale of personal information (we do not sell personal information), and the right to non-discrimination for exercising your rights.

EEA, UK, and Swiss Residents (GDPR/UK GDPR). If you are located in the European Economic Area, United Kingdom, or Switzerland, you may have additional rights under the General Data Protection Regulation, including the right to lodge a complaint with your local supervisory authority. Our legal basis for processing personal data is typically performance of a contract (these Terms) or legitimate interests (security, abuse prevention, service improvement).

---

9. Children's Privacy

The Platform is not directed at, and is not intended for use by, anyone under the age of 18. We do not knowingly collect personal information from individuals under 18 years of age.

If we become aware that we have collected personal information from a person under 18, we will take prompt steps to delete that information and terminate any associated account.

If you believe that a person under 18 has provided us with personal information, please contact us immediately at hello@auxilo.io.
