Privacy Notice for the Use of External AI Services in DramaQueen

(Version: Potsdam, 20 December 2025)

DramaQueen provides optional AI-assistance features.

When you use these features, any text you submit for AI processing will be transmitted to an external AI provider of your choice.

In order to lawfully enable this transmission, we require your explicit consent.

1. 📌 Before activating AI – key information

• DramaQueen functions solely as a technical interface. We do not store, access, or process your text ourselves. Choosing to use AI services means that your content will be transmitted directly to the respective external AI provider. DramaQueen cannot view your text.
• Although the providers – and DramaQueen through its connection logic – implement technical and organisational safeguards to protect your data, any transmission to external services inherently involves residual risks. Please decide consciously which content you choose to share.
• The data you submit through the AI features will be transmitted to the AI provider selected by you and processed there.
• Each AI provider has its own terms of service and privacy policies. You must accept those terms when generating an API key with the respective provider.
• As an EU user, your data is protected by the GDPR. AI providers processing your input must comply with this protection – at minimum through contractual assurances, and for European providers often through technical implementation as well.
• Your rights in the text you submit or receive (input/output) remain with you, unless the respective provider stipulates otherwise.
• To generate an AI response, the provider must technically process your input. This processing is the sole purpose of the transmission under API-based usage (that is, when you provide an API key).
• When you use an API key from OpenAI or Anthropic within DramaQueen, the processing takes place under the terms of a business-to-business contract. Under such contractual terms, your text may not be stored for training purposes or reused beyond delivering the requested output. The same principles apply to Mistral, with an additional advantage: input is processed within the European Union in accordance with GDPR standards. In addition to contractual safeguards, Mistral implements technical and organisational measures aligned with European data-protection requirements.

2. 🤲 Use AI mindfully – maintain creative control

• Please do not submit content whose transmission you cannot justify (e.g., confidential personal data, third-party data, or copyrighted material).
• You remain responsible for reviewing AI outputs for suitability, correctness, and potential risks. AI-generated outputs may resemble or repeat content generated for other users. They are not exclusive.
• We recommend using AI outputs as inspiration or a starting point for your own formulations. This allows you to retain your creative voice and helps avoid unintentionally incorporating third-party protected content. If you reuse AI-generated content, ensure that it does not contain copyrighted expressions belonging to others.

AI can provide valuable impulses for your writing; however, it does not replace your own review and authorship. Your text remains yours only through your own independent creation and verification.

3. 🔑 Enabling and disabling AI – voluntary use

• The AI features in DramaQueen are entirely optional.
  DramaQueen functions fully without AI; you may write and develop your work at any time without using these features.
• You provide your consent to transmit data to external AI providers by confirming the privacy addendum and entering an API key in the designated field.
• You may withdraw your consent for the future at any time by removing this confirmation (i.e., unchecking the consent field) or by deleting the API key.

From that moment onward, no further connection to AI providers will be established. No external data transmission will occur, and all AI features in your project will be fully deactivated. Your document will then remain free from AI interaction.

4. 🔍 Who processes which data? (Responsibilities)

• When you use the AI features, the text you submit will be transmitted to the external AI provider you selected. That provider is solely responsible, under data protection law, for processing your submissions.
• DramaQueen does not store, access, or otherwise process this content and has no visibility into it. DramaQueen merely provides the technical interface enabling the connection. Your content is transmitted automatically to the selected provider without being accessed or stored by DramaQueen.
• You determine which content you choose to share with the AI provider, consciously and at your own discretion.

You retain control. DramaQueen provides a carefully designed environment that allows you to use AI deliberately and autonomously.

🌿 If you wish to use the AI assistance features in DramaQueen, you provide your consent directly in the AI Connection Dialog (‘Activate AI / Enter API Key‘) within the DramaQueen software by activating the checkbox for this Privacy Addendum.

✨ We hope that DramaQueen – with or without AI – offers you creative freedom and inspiration.
