Introduction
Welcome to The Artificial Quill (“TAQ”). We respect your privacy and are committed to protecting your personal data. This privacy policy will inform you as to how we look after your data when you visit our website and tell you about your privacy rights.
Important Disclaimer: Fictional Context
Please Note: The Artificial Quill (TAQ) is a fictional AI system featured in the novel “The Writer and The Artificial Quill” by Ellis Elms. This website is a meta-fictional marketing experience designed to complement the book.
While the interface mimics a data-gathering AI tool, no actual artificial intelligence processing occurs, and the “Writer Assessment” does not permanently store your responses or psychological profile on our servers.
