Privacy

Last updated 13 November 2026. This notice covers Aquinian Studio (studio.aquinian.com) and the Aquinian website (aquinian.com), operated by Federated Intel AI LLC (FIA Labs), seated in Washington, D.C. Federated Intel AI LLC is owned by Unison Pictures Pty Ltd.

What we collect

Account data: name, email, and sign-in provider (Google, X, or email). Billing data through Stripe; we do not store full card numbers. Your credit balance and usage. What you write and attach to run a conversation, lecture, or Investigate, and the answers produced. The source checks and verification marks you record. Technical logs needed to keep the service up.

Studio sets a first-party cookie named aq_src, kept for 30 days, that holds only campaign tags and the referring site's name so we can tell where sign-ups come from. It does not store full URLs or IP addresses.

aquinian.com uses Vercel Web Analytics to count page views in aggregate. It sets no cookies.

What Aquinian keeps

So your work follows your account, Studio keeps a copy of your conversations and lectures on our servers, and a server copy of each answer so an answer that finished is not lost if the tab closes. Large images may stay on your device only. If you connect Google Drive or Dropbox, we keep that connection until you disconnect it, and read only the files you choose.

Why

To operate Aquinian, sign you in, take payment, run what you ask for, and keep the credit balance right. We do not sell personal information.

Processors

Answers, images and voice: xAI. Investigate's second engine: OpenRouter. Payments: Stripe. Email: Resend. Hosting: Vercel. Database: Neon. Cloud files: Google or Dropbox, only if you connect them. Source lookups fetch the cited passage from the source site (for example Corpus Thomisticum); they send the citation, not your conversation.

Where your data is held

Our database is hosted in the United States (AWS US East, Ohio). Your information is disclosed to and stored by our providers there.

AICU Award 2026 judging demo

The judging demo at /demo, open only while judging is open, stores a guest session cookie (HttpOnly, this site only) so its 100-credit limit can be enforced, and deletes demo work after 24 hours or when you leave. It is not a private channel.

Cookies

The cookies and browser storage we use are listed on the cookies policy. We do not run advertising cookies.

Retention and your rights

We keep account and billing records as required for tax and dispute handling. You may request access to, correction of, or deletion of personal information we hold, subject to law: privacy@federatedintel.ai. Australian users may complain to the OAIC if they are not satisfied.
