Humanitext GEO Service Rules

1. Description of the Service

1. This Service shows, on a map and a timeline, the places and periods in which ancient Greek and Roman authors were active.
2. In "Explore," you can ask AI questions about cities on the map. The AI searches for passages from the original texts of authors who were active in that city and period, and answers on that basis. Answers show the original texts on which they are based.

2. Login and Consent

1. The map and timeline can be used by anyone without logging in.
2. Asking AI questions (Explore) requires logging in with Humanitext ID, verification of your email address, and consent to these Rules.

3. Information Handled (Service Rules under Article 3 of the Common Privacy Policy)

1. Usage allowance records: for fair use and prevention of misuse, the daily number of uses and amount of processing are recorded for each account.
2. Consent records: the version consented to and the date and time.
3. Deletion records: if you delete your Humanitext ID account, the deleted account identifier and the date and time are recorded so that no usage records are created after deletion.
4. The text of questions and answers is not stored. To create answers, your questions and the preceding conversation (the most recent few exchanges) are sent to the businesses in Section 4 (this is temporary processing and is separate from storage).
5. This Service does not record usage statistics (such as which cities and periods were selected).

4. Service-Specific Contractors (Service Rules under Article 6 of the Common Privacy Policy)

For generating answers with AI, we use services provided under terms by which content sent is not used to train models (Google Cloud terms of service). Under its terms of service, Pinecone, which is used for search and reranking, may use content sent to it to improve its own services (there is no explicit statement that it is not used for model training). What is sent to Pinecone is the search values and text created from your questions and the text of candidate original texts; account identifiers and email addresses are not sent. Please do not include personally identifiable information in your questions.

5. Retention Periods and Data Deletion

1. When you delete your Humanitext ID account (Common Privacy Policy, Article 8, paragraph 3), this Service erases consent records and replaces the daily number of uses and amount of processing with a form no longer linked to the account (these disappear once the retention period above has passed).
2. This Service has no screen for exporting or deleting data. Requests for disclosure are accepted at the contact point in Article 1 of the Common Privacy Policy.

6. Usage Allowances and Fees (Service Rules under Article 7 of the Common Terms of Use)

1. For asking AI questions, an upper limit on the amount of processing per day (usage allowance) is set for each user. Its size and reset time are the same as for Antiqua. There is also a limit on the number of questions that can be asked in quick succession (10 per minute).
2. This Service as a whole also has a daily processing limit; if it is reached, no new questions will be accepted until the next reset.
3. Even if response generation fails partway through, the amount processed by the AI up to the failure is counted against the usage allowance.
4. When paid plans become available, we plan to change usage allowances to a weekly basis and to make them a common allowance for AI dialogue across Antiqua, Aozora, and GEO, for both free and paid users. Applying for a paid plan will increase the allowances of all three services together.
