1. Overview
GeoHearth AI (“GeoHearth,” “we,” “our,” or “us”) is operated by XBotsAi Lab LLC, a for-profit company. This Policy explains how information is processed when you visit GeoHearth, use the environmental map, request an analysis, contact us, or make a voluntary support payment.
2. Information you provide
You may provide a city, postal code, address, map selection, feedback, contact information or other information required for a feature you choose to use. You do not need to provide your home address; you can analyze any location. If you contact us, we may receive your name, email address and message content.
3. Location and environmental analysis
When you select an area, GeoHearth may process coordinates, map bounds, selected-area dimensions and environmental information associated with that area. GeoHearth is designed not to create a persistent personal location history from ordinary map use. Browser GPS should not be requested automatically.
4. Technical information
Hosting, security and infrastructure providers may process technical information needed to deliver and protect the website, including IP address, browser type, device information, requested page, request time and security signals.
5. Optional analytics
The current site build does not initialize Firebase Analytics or Google Analytics. If optional analytics is introduced in a later build, it should remain disabled until you affirmatively consent through the privacy controls.
We do not intentionally send precise coordinates, complete street-address searches, AI prompts or outputs, environmental reports or payment-card information to Analytics in this build. You may change or withdraw your choice at any time through Cookie Settings.
6. Maps, geocoding and environmental providers
GeoHearth relies on mapping and environmental providers. Depending on the feature, these may include OpenStreetMap-related services, CARTO, Esri, NASA, Open-Meteo/CAMS and government or scientific datasets. When a third-party resource loads directly in your browser, the provider may receive technical request information such as your IP address and requested map tiles or geographic area.
Nearby context-photo lookup sends the selected map coordinates to Wikimedia Commons. When a photo is displayed, your browser requests the image from Wikimedia, which may receive your IP address and image request. The photo request uses a no-referrer policy.
If you open a locality-based Google Maps or web search from an analysis, that provider receives the search terms you chose to open. GeoHearth does not verify search results, contact organizations, or share your details with them.
7. AI-assisted features
When you use GeoHearth's analysis feature, environmental measurements are collected by GeoHearth's data service and Qwen generates recommendation text. By default, the model runs in your browser and its files are downloaded from Hugging Face on first use. If GeoHearth enables its optional hosted-Qwen service, your selected-area evidence and prompt are sent to GeoHearth's server and its configured model host for generation; the host may process request metadata under its own terms. The hosted service token is kept server-side. Map, weather, geocoding, hosting, and other data providers may also receive requests needed for their specific features. If you optionally enter a community-reported concern, it is included with the analysis prompt when the hosted model is used and may be processed by its configured model host; GeoHearth does not retain that concern. The optional local project checklist and observations are stored only in your browser on your device and are not sent to GeoHearth unless you explicitly export and share the file.
The browser performs deterministic checks on generated output. In hosted mode, generation runs in a single-job queue; otherwise, the supported browser runs the model locally. Safari local-model generation is currently paused to prevent memory-related reloads; live environmental measurements remain available there. These checks are not a guarantee of accuracy; AI-assisted output can be inaccurate and should be independently verified. You can use the environmental measurements without requesting the AI-generated recommendation.
8. Financial support and payment information
If you choose to support GeoHearth financially, a third-party payment provider may process your name, email address, billing details, payment method type, amount, transaction identifier, payment status, fraud-prevention signals, device information and IP address. When hosted checkout is used, XBotsAi Lab LLC does not intend to receive or store your complete payment-card number or card security code.
We may receive limited transaction information to confirm payment, keep accounting records, respond to questions, issue refunds, investigate fraud, handle disputes and comply with tax or legal obligations. We do not sell payment-card information.
9. Purposes and legal bases
Depending on the activity and applicable law, we process information to provide requested functions, operate and secure the service, prevent abuse, respond to communications, maintain payment/accounting records, perform optional analytics with consent, comply with legal obligations and establish or defend legal claims. For EEA users, legal bases may include performance of a requested service, legitimate interests, consent and legal obligations.
10. Retention
We retain information only as long as reasonably necessary for the relevant purpose. Consent preferences are generally retained for about six months. Contact communications, security logs and payment/accounting records may be retained longer where reasonably necessary or legally required.
11. Your rights
Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, restrict or port personal information, object to certain processing and withdraw consent. To exercise a privacy right, contact aiuniverse@xbotsailab.com. If GDPR applies, you may also complain to your local supervisory authority.
12. Children and teenagers
GeoHearth is a general-audience environmental and educational technology service and is not specifically directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly seek to collect personal information from children under 13 without consent or authorization required by law. In Italy, the relevant age for a minor's direct consent in this information-society-service context is 14. Younger users should avoid entering unnecessary personal information.
13. Security
GeoHearth uses reasonable technical and organizational measures intended to protect the service and information processed through it. No internet service can guarantee absolute security.
14. Automated decision-making
GeoHearth's environmental recommendations are informational. The service is not designed to make decisions producing legal or similarly significant effects about an individual.
15. Changes and contact
We may update this Policy when our service, technology, providers or legal obligations change. Material changes to consent-based processing should trigger a renewed privacy choice where required.
