Greg Mode local personalization

Greg Mode may store a lightweight interaction profile in your own browser to adapt response length, tone, suggested buttons, and whether to keep replies conversational or offer page links. This profile is based on broad patterns such as topics, button use, feedback choices, and interaction style; it is not intended to store a permanent transcript of your conversations.

The local Greg Mode profile is stored on your device for up to 30 days from your last use unless you clear your browser data sooner. When you message Greg, a small summary of this local profile may be sent with the request so Greg can tailor the current response.

If you use the thumbs up or thumbs down controls on Greg responses, UAPRAD may store anonymous aggregate feedback signals such as response fingerprint, broad topic or intent category, response shape, and vote. These feedback records are used to improve Greg Mode behaviour and are not intended to identify individual users or store full chat transcripts.

5. How We Use Your Information

We use your information to:

• Create and manage your account.

• Moderate discussions and maintain community standards.
• Detect spam, fraud and abuse.
• Improve the website and user experience.
• Meet our legal obligations.

6. AI-Assisted Moderation

UAPRAD uses artificial intelligence to help identify spam, abusive behaviour and content that may breach our Community Guidelines.

AI moderation assists our moderation process but does not make final decisions regarding account suspensions or permanent bans without human review where appropriate.

7. Lawful Basis for Processing

Under UK GDPR, we process personal information because it is:

• Necessary to provide the services you request when creating and maintaining your account.
• Necessary for our legitimate interests in operating, securing and improving UAPRAD.
