Privacy Policy for The BANG AI Team
Effective Date: March 31, 2026
The BANG AI Team, part of The Black Ancestry Network Group ("The BANG," "we," "our," or "us"), respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, store, and protect personal information when you visit our website, interact with our content, use our tools, communicate with us, or otherwise use our services.

We and our service providers may use cookies, pixels, tags, local storage, and similar technologies to:

- deliver and measure advertising
2. How We Use Information

- provide, maintain, and improve our website, services, and content
- respond to inquiries and provide customer support
- send updates, newsletters, or marketing communications where permitted
- analyze website traffic and user engagement

3. Advertising, Cookies, and Analytics
We may use third-party analytics and advertising services, including Google services such as Google Analytics, Google AdSense, and related advertising technologies.
Third-party vendors, including Google, may use cookies to serve ads based on a user’s prior visits to this website or other websites. Google’s use of advertising cookies enables Google and its partners to serve ads based on users’ visits to this site and/or other sites on the Internet. Our privacy policy therefore discloses that third parties may place and read cookies on users’ browsers, or use web beacons or IP addresses to collect information as a result of ad serving.
Where required by law, we will ask for consent before using non-essential cookies or similar technologies. Users may also manage cookies through browser settings, subject to possible limitations in website functionality. For users in the EEA, UK, or Switzerland, Google requires publishers serving personalized ads to use a certified CMP when applicable.
4. AI Tools, Generative Services, and Synthetic Media
Our services may use artificial intelligence tools and third-party AI providers to help create, analyze, organize, summarize, generate, or present content.
This may include text-generation tools, chatbot features, automated workflows, voice tools, image tools, and synthetic media or avatar-based video services. Some content made available through our services may therefore be AI-assisted or AI-generated.
If we use providers such as OpenAI or D-ID, data submitted through those services may be processed according to those providers’ applicable terms and privacy notices. OpenAI states that API data is not used to train its models by default unless a customer explicitly opts in, while D-ID describes how it collects and processes personal data, including uploaded photos, text, video, and audio used to create animations or outputs.
We do not guarantee that AI-generated content will always be error-free, complete, or suitable for every purpose, and users should independently review important outputs before relying on them.
5. Biometric, Image, Audio, and Video Content
If you upload photographs, audio, video, likenesses, or similar media to use with our AI-related services, you represent that you have the legal right and authority to provide that content and to authorize its use.
Where required by law, we will obtain any necessary consent for the processing of biometric or sensitive personal data. If a third-party provider such as D-ID is used for avatar, animation, or synthetic-media processing, that provider may also have separate privacy and biometric policies that apply.
6. How We Share Information
We do not sell personal information for money. We may share information:
- with service providers, contractors, and vendors that help us operate our website and services
- with analytics and advertising partners consistent with this Privacy Policy and applicable law
- when required by law, subpoena, court order, or legal process
- to protect rights, safety, security, users, and property
- in connection with a merger, sale, acquisition, financing, or transfer of assets
7. Third-Party Platforms and Linked Services
Our website and services may link to or integrate with third-party platforms such as Google, YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, TikTok, Blogger, OpenAI, D-ID, and others.
When you interact with those platforms, their own privacy policies, cookies, data practices, and terms may apply. We encourage users to review those third-party policies directly. Google Cloud, OpenAI, and D-ID each publish their own privacy notices and privacy resources.
8. YouTube API Services Disclosure
If our website or services use YouTube API Services, by using those features you also agree to be bound by the YouTube Terms of Service and the YouTube API Services Terms of Service, as applicable.
Where our services access or display YouTube content or data through YouTube API Services, users should understand that YouTube may collect, use, and process data in accordance with Google’s privacy practices and YouTube’s applicable terms and policies. We will handle YouTube-related data consistent with applicable law and YouTube’s developer policies.
9. Data Retention
We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, including to provide services, maintain records, resolve disputes, enforce agreements, and comply with law.
10. Data Security
We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect personal information. However, no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
11. Your Rights and Choices
Depending on your location, you may have rights to:
- access personal information we hold about you
- correct inaccurate information
- request deletion of personal information
- object to or restrict certain processing
- withdraw consent where processing depends on consent
- opt out of certain marketing communications
To exercise any available rights, contact us using the details below.
12. Children’s Privacy
Our services are not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 without legally required permission. If you believe a child has submitted personal information, contact us so we can review and address it.
13. International Users
If you access our services from outside the United States, your information may be transferred to and processed in the United States or other countries where we or our service providers operate, subject to applicable law.
