Privacy Policy
1. Introduction
Realm Inc. (“Company,” “we,” or “us”) is dedicated to protecting the privacy and security of our users. This Privacy Policy explains how personal and usage information is collected, processed, stored, and safeguarded when interacting with our AI-driven platforms, including AYITA and PAMOLA.
Privacy-First Approach
AYITA and PAMOLA are developed with privacy-first principles, ensuring that users can deploy and operate AI models at the individual, team, or private cloud level without unnecessary data exposure. Realm Inc. prioritizes security, enabling organizations to leverage AI while retaining full control over their data.
Commercial Use vs. Demonstration Services
- Commercial Deployments: When AYITA and PAMOLA are used within a commercial environment, all data processing remains fully contained within the user’s infrastructure. No data is transmitted outside of the user's designated environment unless explicitly authorized.
- Demonstration Services: The services hosted on the Realm website are provided for demonstration and evaluation purposes only. Users should be aware that demo environments may involve temporary logging of interactions to improve system performance, but no personally identifiable information (PII) is retained.
User Consent & Agreement
By using our AI services—whether in commercial use cases or within publicly available demonstrations—you acknowledge and agree to the terms outlined in this Privacy Policy. We encourage all users to carefully review this policy before engaging with AYITA and PAMOLA.
2. Information We Collect
To enhance AI service performance and provide a seamless user experience, Realm Inc. collects limited technical and interaction-related data when users engage with AYITA and PAMOLA. This section outlines the types of data collected, how they are processed, and how they differ between commercial deployments and demo environments.
2.1 Technical Information
We collect device-related technical information to optimize system compatibility, troubleshoot performance issues, and enhance security. This may include:
- IP address of the computer or mobile device used.
- Device type, browser, and operating system details.
- Device ID (unique identifier assigned by the manufacturer).
- Session timestamps and performance metrics.
For commercial deployments, this technical data is not stored externally and remains within the user’s private infrastructure.
For demo environments, session metadata may be temporarily logged to enhance system performance, but logs do not contain personal identifiers and are periodically purged.
2.2 Content Characteristics
AYITA and PAMOLA process user-generated content solely to facilitate AI interactions. The type of content collected depends on how users engage with the platform:
- Text-based inputs and file uploads for AI-driven responses.
- AI-generated outputs stored temporarily for features such as History and LoraBook (AYITA).
Realm does not retain AI-generated interactions beyond the active session unless explicitly saved by the user in private deployments.
For demo environments, usage data may be temporarily logged to analyze system behavior and improve future performance. However, no personally identifiable information (PII) is collected or stored, and interaction logs are automatically cleared after a predefined period.

We use cookies and similar tracking technologies to improve service functionality and user experience. These include:
- Session Cookies: Temporary identifiers that expire once the browser is closed.
- Persistent Cookies: Stored on your device to recognize returning users and improve performance.
- Analytics Cookies: Used to collect anonymous data on how users interact with the platform.
Users may configure their browser settings to disable cookies. However, disabling cookies may limit access to certain features of our services.
2.4 Personal Data
For demo services, we may request the following data to personalize the experience:
- Email address.
- First and last name.
- Optional message describing your use case.
This information is used exclusively for demo access and customer inquiries and is not stored for long-term retention.
For commercial deployments, no personal user data is stored, transmitted, or shared externally. All AI processing occurs within the user's private infrastructure, ensuring complete data sovereignty.
3. How We Use Your Information
We use collected information to improve the functionality, security, and reliability of our AI-driven services, including AYITA and PAMOLA. Depending on whether the services are accessed in a commercial deployment or as part of the demo environment, the scope of data usage may vary.
