Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how Timatsu LLC ("Timatsu," "we," "us," or "our"), a North Carolina limited liability company, collects, uses, shares, and protects information when you visit timatsu.com (the "Website").

In short: this Website has an AI assistant, a contact form, and a sign-in area for authorized accounts. It has no analytics, no advertising, and no tracking cookies. Messages you send us are emailed to our team and stored in our database so we can respond. The applications Timatsu builds and the other websites featured here have their own terms and privacy practices, as explained under What This Policy Covers below. Capitalized terms not defined here have the meaning given in our Terms of Service.

What This Policy Covers, and What It Does Not

This Policy Covers the Website

This policy applies to information collected through timatsu.com itself: when you browse the site, talk with the assistant, send a message through the contact form, or sign in. It also covers email that Timatsu LLC receives and forwards for certain other addresses, as described under Information We Collect.

Applications Timatsu Builds Are Separate

Some of the work featured on this Website is software that Timatsu designs or builds for itself or for others, such as Timatsu OS. When you sign in to or use one of those applications, your use is governed by that application's own terms and privacy notice, not by this one. Browsing this Website does not send your application data to us, and this policy does not describe how any particular application handles your information.

Other Websites Featured Here Are Separate

The Website features AI assistants that Timatsu builds for other websites and links to those websites. Featuring a website or business here does not make it part of Timatsu LLC and does not create a partnership, joint venture, or agency relationship. When you visit one of those websites, contact that business, or buy from it, that interaction is governed by that website's own terms and privacy policy, which describe how information is handled there.

Information We Collect

This Website is an informational site. We aim to collect as little as possible. Here is everything it collects.

Contact Form

When you use the contact form, we collect your name, your email address, and your message. Submitting the form emails your message to our team at hello@timatsu.com and sends a confirmation email, with a copy of your message, to the address you entered. Your submission is also stored in Timatsu LLC's database.

AI Assistant

The Website offers an AI assistant. Before you can chat, it asks for your name and email address. When you chat, we collect the messages you send and the assistant's replies. Your messages are processed by AI model providers, reached through a model router, to generate the replies and, when you choose to send the conversation to us, a short summary for our team.

You can send the conversation to us yourself. If you do not, and you have sent at least one message, the whole conversation is sent to us automatically when you leave the page or switch away from it, even if you never pressed Send. Either way, the conversation is emailed to our team, a confirmation email with a copy of the conversation is sent to the email address you entered, and the conversation is stored in Timatsu LLC's database. The assistant is not a secure channel, so please do not enter passwords, payment details, or government identifiers.

Sign-In Area

The Website has a sign-in page and a private area for authorized accounts only. It is not open to the public. When an authorized user signs in, we check their email address and password against our account system and set a session cookie, described under Cookies and Local Storage below.

Email We Receive and Forward

Timatsu LLC receives email sent to hello@montlor.com and hello@horizenfilms.com and forwards it to our team inbox at hello@timatsu.com, with the sender's address kept so we can reply. Our email provider also receives any other mail addressed to those two domains, which we keep with that provider but do not forward. If you write to one of those addresses, Timatsu LLC receives your name, email address, and message.

Information Collected Automatically

When you visit the Website, our hosting provider automatically receives standard technical information that your browser sends in order to load a page, such as your IP address, browser type, the pages you request, the referring page, and the date and time. To prevent spam and abuse of the assistant and the contact form, the Website keeps short-lived request counters tied to your IP address in Timatsu LLC's database. These counters are deleted within two days.

Cookies and Local Storage

The Website uses no analytics, no advertising, and no tracking cookies. It uses only these items:

• Cookie notice. When you dismiss the cookie notice by pressing Got It, your browser's local storage remembers that choice so the notice does not appear again. The notice is informational; there are no optional cookies to accept or decline.
• Session cookie. Only if you sign in to the private area, the Website sets a secure, HttpOnly cookie named timatsu_session that keeps you signed in for up to 30 days or until you sign out.

You can clear cookies and local storage through your browser settings at any time.

What We Do Not Collect

The Website does not knowingly collect payment card numbers, government identifiers, precise geolocation, biometric data, or other sensitive categories of data.

Categories of Personal Information (for Reference)

For readers in jurisdictions that ask businesses to map their collection to standard categories (such as California), the personal information the Website collects falls into these categories: identifiers (such as name, email address, and IP address); internet or other electronic network activity (such as pages requested and basic browser information); and the contents of communications you send us. We collect these from you directly and from the technical information your browser sends. We do not collect the other statutory categories, such as financial account data, biometric information, precise geolocation, or protected classification characteristics.

How We Use Information

We use the information described above to: operate and secure the Website; answer you through the assistant; read and respond to your messages; keep a record of our correspondence; let authorized users sign in; prevent spam, fraud, and abuse; and comply with our legal obligations and enforce our Terms of Service. If you contact us about a potential engagement, we use your information to discuss it and, if we move forward, to carry out that work under a separate agreement.

We do not use your information for advertising, and we do not make automated decisions about you that produce legal or similarly significant effects.

How We Share Information

We do not sell your personal information, and we do not share it for cross-context behavioral advertising or for other companies' marketing. We share information only in these situations:

• Service providers. A small set of vendors run the Website for us and process information on our behalf only as needed to provide their service. See Service Providers below.
• Legal and safety. We may disclose information if required by law, regulation, legal process, or a governmental request, or where we believe in good faith that disclosure is necessary to protect the rights, property, or safety of Timatsu LLC, our visitors, or the public, or to investigate fraud or abuse.
• Business transfers. If Timatsu LLC is involved in a merger, acquisition, financing, or sale of assets, information may be transferred as part of that transaction, subject to protections consistent with this policy.

We do not share what you send us with the applications or other businesses featured on this Website unless you ask us to connect you, in which case we pass along only what is needed for the introduction.

Service Providers

The Website relies on a few third-party providers. We list them by category and can name the specific providers on request. Each processes information only as needed to provide its service to us.

• Hosting and content delivery, which processes connection information such as IP addresses in order to serve the site.
• Database, which stores contact-form submissions, assistant conversations, account records for the sign-in area, and the short-lived abuse-prevention counters.
• Email delivery, which sends our team's copy and your confirmation email, and receives and forwards the mail described under Email We Receive and Forward.
• AI model providers, reached through a model router, which process the messages you send to the assistant in order to generate replies and summaries.

Data Retention

We do not delete contact-form messages or assistant conversations on an automatic schedule. We keep them as long as needed to respond to you and to keep a record of our correspondence, and we delete them when you ask us to, unless we must keep them to comply with a legal obligation, resolve a dispute, or enforce our agreements. Abuse-prevention counters tied to your IP address are deleted within two days. Our hosting provider keeps its own technical logs for a limited period.

Data Security

We use reasonable technical and organizational measures designed to protect information against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction, including encrypted connections and access controls. No website or method of transmission or storage is perfectly secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Your Rights and Choices

Depending on where you live, you may have some or all of the following rights regarding personal information we hold about you: to access or receive a copy of it; to correct it; to delete it; to opt out of its sale or sharing; and to limit certain processing. You also have the right not to be treated differently for exercising these rights.

To make a request, email us at hello@timatsu.com. We will verify your request, usually by confirming you control the email address involved, and respond within the timeframe required by applicable law. You may use an authorized agent where the law allows, and we may ask for confirmation of their authority.

We do not sell personal information or share it for advertising, so there is nothing to opt out of, and the Website does not need to act on browser signals such as Global Privacy Control or Do Not Track.

United States State Privacy Rights

A growing number of U.S. states, including California, Virginia, Colorado, Connecticut, Utah, Texas, Oregon, Montana, and others, have comprehensive consumer privacy laws. If you are a resident of such a state, you may have the rights described under Your Rights and Choices, including the right to know what personal information is collected and how it is used, the right to access, correct, and delete it, and, in some states, the right to appeal a decision on your request. We do not sell personal information, and we do not process it for targeted advertising. To exercise your rights, or to appeal, contact hello@timatsu.com.

Residents of the EEA, the UK, and Switzerland (GDPR)

If you are in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, or Switzerland, Timatsu LLC is the controller of the personal data this Website processes. Our legal bases are: steps you ask us to take, such as responding to your message or discussing an engagement; our legitimate interests in operating and securing the Website, preventing abuse, and keeping a record of our correspondence, where those interests are not overridden by your rights; and compliance with legal obligations.

You have the rights of access, rectification, erasure, restriction, objection, and portability, and the right to lodge a complaint with your local supervisory authority. To exercise these rights, contact hello@timatsu.com.

International Data Transfers

Timatsu LLC is based in the United States, and our providers may process information in the United States and other countries. If you use the Website from outside the United States, your information will be transferred to and processed in countries whose data-protection laws may differ from those where you live.

Children's Privacy

The Website is intended for adults and is not directed to children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If you believe a child has provided us information through this Website, contact us and we will delete it.

Third-Party Websites and Links

The Website links to other websites, including those described under What This Policy Covers. This policy does not apply to them. When you follow a link, the destination's own privacy policy governs.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy as the Website changes. When we do, we will revise the "Last updated" date above, and for material changes we will provide more prominent notice on the Website.
