17. Artificial Intelligence and Personal Information

Folded Paper Hearts uses artificial intelligence as part of its creative production processes.

Our use of AI for creative imagery or media does not, by itself, mean that customer personal information is used to train public AI systems.

We do not knowingly submit customer payment-card information, account passwords, or private order information to public generative-AI tools for creative production.

If we introduce AI tools that materially process customer personal information for profiling, automated decision-making, or another new purpose, we may update this policy and provide additional notice or consent where required.
