Privacy Policy — McSill Ultra 5.0

Effective date: 25 September 2026
Last updated: 25 September 2026

1. Introduction

This Privacy Policy explains how McSill Ultra 5.0 (“McSill Ultra”, “the Plugin”, “we”, “us”, or “our”) handles information when users interact with the Plugin through ChatGPT and other supported OpenAI environments.

McSill Ultra 5.0 is a storytelling, narrative development, analysis, and editorial assistance plugin based on the methodology and intellectual work of James McSill.

We are committed to respecting user privacy and handling information responsibly and transparently.

2. Information Users Provide

Users may voluntarily provide content to McSill Ultra 5.0 when requesting narrative analysis, editing, rewriting, development, or other assistance.

This content may include:

• text, manuscripts, scenes, chapters, stories, articles, and other written material;

• ideas, notes, outlines, synopses, and creative concepts;

• information about fictional or non-fictional characters and narratives;

• images or other materials supported by the ChatGPT environment;

• instructions and contextual information necessary to perform the requested task.

Users should avoid providing unnecessary sensitive personal information.

3. Information Collected Directly by McSill Ultra 5.0

The current version of McSill Ultra 5.0 operates as a skills-based plugin within the OpenAI environment.

McSill Ultra 5.0 does not currently operate an independent external server for the purpose of collecting user conversations or personal data, and it does not independently create user profiles from interactions with the Plugin.

Information processed by ChatGPT or other OpenAI services remains subject to OpenAI’s applicable privacy policies, terms, settings, and data practices.

4. How Information Is Used

Content supplied by users is processed for the purpose of responding to their requests and providing the functionality of McSill Ultra 5.0.

Depending on the request, this may include:

• analysing narrative structure;

• reviewing manuscripts and scenes;

• assisting with storytelling;

• suggesting editorial improvements;

• analysing characters, dialogue, subtext, point of view, tension, pacing, and reader experience;

• restructuring or rewriting material when requested;

• developing narrative alternatives;

• applying McSill storytelling methodologies and commands;

• providing educational or editorial guidance.

McSill Ultra 5.0 is designed to assist the user rather than replace the user’s creative or editorial judgement.

5. Sharing of Personal Information

McSill Ultra 5.0 does not independently sell users’ personal information.

The current skills-based version does not independently transmit user content to advertising networks, data brokers, or unrelated third parties.

Processing performed by OpenAI and its service providers is governed separately by the policies and terms applicable to the OpenAI service through which the Plugin is accessed.

6. Data Retention

The current skills-based version of McSill Ultra 5.0 does not maintain an independent external database of user conversations or manuscripts submitted through the Plugin.

Retention of conversations, uploaded materials, account information, or other information by ChatGPT or OpenAI is governed by the applicable OpenAI policies, account settings, and service configuration.

If future versions of McSill Ultra 5.0 introduce external services that independently store user information, this Privacy Policy will be updated to explain what information is stored, why it is stored, how long it is retained, and what controls are available to users.

7. Intellectual Property and User Content

Users retain their rights in the original content they submit, subject to the terms of the platform through which McSill Ultra 5.0 is accessed and any other agreements applicable to that content.

Using McSill Ultra 5.0 does not, by itself, transfer ownership of a user’s manuscript, story, idea, or other original material to James McSill or McSill Ultra 5.0.

Users are responsible for ensuring that they have the necessary rights and permissions to submit material for processing.

8. Sensitive and Confidential Information

Users should exercise appropriate care before submitting confidential, legally privileged, commercially sensitive, or highly sensitive personal information.

McSill Ultra 5.0 is an AI-assisted editorial and storytelling tool and should not be treated as a secure repository for confidential documents unless the applicable platform and service configuration expressly provide the level of protection required by the user.

9. Children’s Privacy

McSill Ultra 5.0 is not specifically designed to collect personal information from children.

Users must comply with the age requirements and other conditions established by OpenAI and any applicable platform through which McSill Ultra 5.0 is accessed.

10. Security

McSill Ultra 5.0 relies on the technical environment provided by OpenAI for its current skills-based operation.

No internet-based service can guarantee absolute security. Users should therefore avoid submitting information that is unnecessary for the requested task.

11. International Use

McSill Ultra 5.0 may be accessible to users in different countries.

Where information is processed through OpenAI services, the applicable processing locations, safeguards, and international data-transfer arrangements are governed by OpenAI’s applicable policies and contractual framework.

12. User Rights

Depending on the user’s location and applicable law, users may have rights concerning their personal information, including rights of access, correction, deletion, restriction, objection, or other statutory rights.

For information controlled directly by OpenAI, users should exercise the relevant rights through OpenAI’s available privacy mechanisms.

For privacy questions specifically concerning McSill Ultra 5.0 or information independently controlled by its developer, users may contact us using the details below.

13. Third-Party Services

McSill Ultra 5.0 operates within third-party technology environments, including OpenAI services.

Those services have their own privacy policies and terms. This Privacy Policy does not replace the privacy policies applicable to ChatGPT, OpenAI, or other third-party services.

14. Changes to This Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy may be updated when McSill Ultra 5.0 changes its functionality, introduces new integrations or external services, or when legal or regulatory requirements change.

The “Last updated” date at the beginning of this document will indicate the latest revision.

Material changes affecting the handling of personal information will be reflected in an updated version of this policy.
