Privacy Policy

1. Who We Are

Hypernova AI Inc. ("Hypernova," "we," "us") operates Nova Browser, an AI-powered desktop browser application. This Privacy Policy explains what data we collect when you use Nova Browser, how we use it, and your rights regarding that data.

2. Data We Collect

Account Information: When you subscribe, we collect your email address and payment information (processed by Stripe — we never store card numbers directly).

Usage Data: Nova Browser may send anonymous usage telemetry including feature engagement (which tools you activate), session duration, and error reports. This data cannot identify you personally.

AI Queries: When you submit requests to Nova AI (via the sidebar chat or intelligence chips), those queries and the page context you're viewing are transmitted to our AI infrastructure to generate responses. This data is processed transiently and is not used to train AI models without your explicit consent.

Nova Memory: If you activate the Memory feature, selected intelligence summaries are stored in your account profile. You can view and delete memory data at any time.

What We Do NOT Collect:

• Full browsing history (URLs you visit are not logged to our servers)
• Keystrokes or form field inputs
• Passwords or credentials
• Screen recordings or ambient audio/video

3. How We Use Your Data

• To authenticate your subscription and provide access to Nova Browser
• To process your AI queries and return intelligence results
• To maintain your Nova Memory if you choose to use it
• To diagnose errors and improve product stability
• To communicate account and billing information

4. Third-Party Services

Stripe: Subscription billing. Stripe's Privacy Policy governs payment data. We receive only a customer token and subscription status.

AI Model Providers: Nova Browser routes AI queries through Hypernova's secure infrastructure. We work with Claude (Anthropic), Gemini (Google), and OpenAI, under data processing agreements that prohibit training on user data.

Analytics: Anonymous, aggregated feature usage data only. No third-party advertising trackers.

5. Data Retention

Account data is retained for the duration of your subscription plus 90 days after cancellation. Nova Memory entries are retained until you delete them or your account is deleted. Transient AI query data is not retained beyond the response cycle.

6. Your Rights

• Access: Request a copy of all data we hold about you
• Deletion: Request deletion of your account and associated data
• Portability: Request your Nova Memory data in JSON format
• Opt-out of telemetry: Disable in Nova Browser settings → Privacy

7. Security

All data transmitted between Nova Browser and Hypernova servers is encrypted in transit via TLS 1.3. Account data is encrypted at rest. We follow SOC 2-aligned security practices.

8. Children's Privacy

Nova Browser is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from minors. If you believe a minor has provided us data, contact us immediately.

9. Changes to This Policy

We will notify subscribers by email at least 14 days before material changes to this policy take effect. Continued use after the effective date constitutes acceptance.
