Privacy Policy for Zhongcai Fabric Calculator AI Actions

1. Scope of this policy

This policy applies to the public fabric-price quotation and yarn-structure reverse-estimation endpoints operated through qifu2023.com, including:

• /api/public/fabric-price/quote-demo
• /api/public/fabric-price/quote
• /api/public/fabric-price/estimate

This policy covers information sent from ChatGPT or another AI service to these endpoints. The AI platform itself has its own privacy policy and controls how conversations are handled before information is sent to us.

2. Information processed by the calculator

Fabric calculation data

The calculator may process technical fabric information such as:

• fabric type and construction category;
• fiber or raw-material composition;
• warp and weft yarn specifications;
• single-yarn or dual/plied-yarn structure;
• density, repeat length and yarn counts within a repeat;
• finished width and actual or theoretical GSM;
• yarn-thickness comparison selections;
• currency, language or locale selections;
• calculation parameters and returned reference results.

Technical request information

For security, reliability, error diagnosis and service operation, our servers or hosting providers may process limited technical information, such as:

• request date and time;
• requested API endpoint;
• request status, error code and request identifier;
• IP address, browser or client information where generated by normal server operation;
• security, rate-limit and system-performance records.

3. Personal information

The public calculator does not require a user account, login, API key, name, postal address, payment information or telephone number to perform a public reference calculation.

Users should not submit personal information, passwords, confidential business information, trade secrets or information that is unrelated to the fabric calculation.

4. How information is used

Information submitted to the calculator may be used to:

• calculate theoretical GSM and factory reference prices;
• reverse-estimate candidate yarn structures;
• return public quotation and yarn-breakdown results;
• validate input data and report calculation errors;
• protect the API against abuse or unauthorized access;
• diagnose technical problems and maintain service reliability;
• improve calculation quality using aggregated or de-identified operational information.

Calculator results are factory reference information and are not final commercial quotations or laboratory-confirmed fabric specifications.

5. Sale and advertising use

We do not sell fabric calculation requests or submitted personal information. Information submitted to these calculator endpoints is not used to deliver third-party behavioral advertising.

6. Service providers and disclosure

Information may be processed by hosting, security, network, logging or technical service providers that support operation of the website and API. These providers may process information only as necessary to provide their services.

Information may also be disclosed when reasonably necessary to:

• comply with applicable law, regulation or a valid legal request;
• protect the security and integrity of the service;
• investigate fraud, abuse or harmful activity;
• protect the rights, property or safety of users, the company or others.

7. Data retention

Calculation data and technical logs are retained only for as long as reasonably necessary for calculation delivery, system security, troubleshooting, abuse prevention, legal compliance and service improvement.

Retention periods may vary according to the type of record, technical requirements and applicable legal obligations. Information that is no longer reasonably required may be deleted, anonymized or aggregated.

8. Data security

We use reasonable administrative and technical safeguards designed to protect information against unauthorized access, alteration, loss or misuse. No internet transmission or storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

9. ChatGPT and other AI platforms

When a user approves an Action, relevant calculation parameters may be transmitted by ChatGPT or another AI platform to qifu2023.com.

Zhejiang Zhongcai Light Textile Co., Ltd. does not control how OpenAI or another AI-platform provider processes the conversation before or after the API request. Users should review the privacy policy and data controls of the AI platform they use.

OpenAI privacy information is available at: https://openai.com/policies/privacy-policy/

10. International processing

Website, hosting or AI-platform providers may process information in different countries or regions. By using the Action, users acknowledge that technical processing may occur outside their country of residence, subject to applicable legal safeguards.

11. Children’s privacy

This professional fabric-calculation service is intended for business and textile-industry use. It is not directed to children, and we do not knowingly request personal information from children.

12. User requests and choices

Users may contact us to ask questions about information submitted to the calculator or to request access, correction or deletion where applicable. We may need sufficient information to identify the relevant request or technical record.

Users can avoid sending data to the public API by declining the Action confirmation in ChatGPT or by not using the calculator.

13. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy when the calculator, API, legal requirements or data practices change. The updated effective date will be displayed at the top of this page.
