Privacy policy
The French version of this page is authoritative. Last updated: 2 October 2026.
Human Quill rewrites your texts. To do so, it processes some data: this page explains which data, why, for how long, and what your rights are.
Data controller
The publisher of the site, a private individual: Anthony Gosme. For any question: contact form.

What we don’t do
- The content of your texts is never written to technical logs.
- No data resale, no advertising, no advertising or tracking cookies.
- Your texts are not sent to any third-party AI service: rewriting is done by our own model, on our own server.
Improving the model
The “improve Human Quill” box is unticked by default. It is located in “Languages & settings” and applies to the texts you submit for as long as it stays ticked. If you tick it, each text and its rewrite are stored separately from your history, with a pseudonymous identifier that allows us to delete them on request. You can withdraw your consent at any time through the contact form: texts not yet used are then deleted. A model that has already been trained cannot “forget” a specific text.
Recipients
