AI Usage Policy

Introduction

At NinthMoon.AI, we use Artificial Intelligence (AI) to provide innovative and accessible tools for self-reflection, journaling, and emotional wellbeing. Our goal is to empower users while ensuring privacy, security, and ethical responsibility.

This policy explains how AI is used within NinthMoon.AI, the limits of its functionality, and the safeguards in place to protect users. By using our platform, you acknowledge and agree to the terms outlined here.

Important Disclaimer: NinthMoon.AI is not a medical or therapeutic service. Our AI tools provide informational and supportive guidance only. They do not diagnose, treat, or replace professional advice. If you are facing a medical or mental health emergency, please contact a qualified professional or call your local emergency hotline immediately.

Core Principles

User-Centric Design

• AI is built to prioritize fairness, inclusivity, and accessibility.
• Measures are taken to minimize bias and provide equitable support across diverse users.

Transparency

• Users are clearly informed when they are interacting with AI features.
• AI's role, limits, and nature as a non-human system are disclosed upfront.

Privacy & Security

• Compliant with GDPR, CCPA, HIPAA and other global data protection frameworks.
• Personal data is encrypted, anonymized, and processed only with user consent.
• Conversations with AI are confidential and not shared with employers, partners, or third parties without explicit consent.

Accuracy & Accountability

• AI tools undergo regular testing and monitoring.
• Outputs are reviewed by human experts for relevance and safety.
• Users are advised that AI responses may occasionally be incomplete, inaccurate, or generic.

Sensitive and High-Risk Situations

If users express self-harm, suicidal intent, or risk of harm to others:

• Crisis Guidance: AI is trained to respond with sensitivity and to direct users toward trusted professional or emergency resources (such as helplines).
• Human Escalation: Where user contact details are available, follow-up support may be shared.
• Legal Duty of Care: In rare cases where there is a credible threat of harm, NinthMoon.AI may disclose limited data to emergency services or authorities, consistent with applicable laws.

Disclaimer: Although our AI is programmed to detect and respond to crisis language, it is not infallible. Users should not depend solely on NinthMoon.AI in life-threatening situations.

Data Handling and Third-Party Providers

• Encryption: All sensitive user data is encrypted both in transit and at rest.
• Redaction: Before processing through external providers, sensitive information is automatically redacted.
• Model Training: Data processed by third-party AI providers is not used to train their models.

• Reporting: Users can flag inappropriate or incorrect AI outputs by emailing legal@ninthmoon.ai.
• Review & Action: Reports are reviewed promptly, and improvements are integrated into ongoing model updates.
• Continuous Improvement: AI systems are refined regularly through user feedback, expert oversight, and scientific advancements.

Limitations of AI at NinthMoon.AI

• AI outputs are informational only and should not be taken as medical, legal, or financial advice.
• AI is not a substitute for licensed mental health professionals.
• While safeguards are applied, no AI system is perfect. Misinterpretations or errors may occur.

Disclaimer of Liability: NinthMoon.AI, its affiliates, and service providers shall not be liable for damages, losses, or consequences arising from reliance on AI responses. Users agree to use the platform at their own discretion and risk.
