When purchasing additional credits for uninterrupted use of the AI service, we handle your IP address with the following privacy considerations:

• Extended IP Storage: The IP address used to purchase credits is stored for a longer period than standard usage data to link the credits to the correct user. This storage is necessary to ensure that credits are accessible only by the purchasing user's IP address, enhancing privacy by preventing unauthorized access to credits.
• Privacy Protection: The IP address data linked to credit purchases is safeguarded with security measures akin to other sensitive data we handle, ensuring that this information is not misused.
• Non-Transferability: Credits are non-refundable and cannot be transferred or exchanged, which is a privacy measure to prevent the sharing of personal usage rights.
• IP Address Change: If your IP address changes, you will lose access to your credits unless you return to the site with the original IP address used for the purchase. This policy is in place to maintain the integrity of the credit system and protect user privacy by ensuring credits are not accessed by unintended users.
