1. Overview

ExplainLikeImDrunk.com ("the Service") is a free, satirical educational tool. We respect your privacy and handle your data with minimal retention.

2. Information We Collect

• User Queries: The text you type into the "What are you confused about?" box.
• Technical Data: Your IP address is used briefly to limit how many questions can be asked per hour, plus standard server logs kept by our web host.

3. How We Process Your Data

• Transient AI Processing: Your question is sent to our AI provider (Anthropic) solely to generate the explanation.
• No Storage: Once the explanation is delivered to your screen, we discard the text of your question. We do not build a database of user questions.
• No Training: We do not use your input to train AI models.
• No Accounts: There is no sign-up or login. We don't know who you are, and we'd like to keep it that way.

4. Third-Party Sharing

We share data only with necessary infrastructure providers:

• Anthropic: For text generation (subject to Anthropic's commercial API data policies).
• Google Fonts: To load the site's typefaces.
• Law Enforcement: Only if compelled by a valid court order.

5. Security

We use industry-standard encryption (SSL/TLS) to protect data in transit. However, no method of transmission over the Internet is 100% secure.

2. Entertainment Only (The "Parody" Clause)

• Satire: The "drunk" persona is a fictional character. The slurred speech, tangents, and "sobriety scores" are for comedic effect.
• Accuracy: While we aim for factual correctness regarding the topic (e.g., Physics, History), the delivery is inherently unreliable.
• Not Professional Advice: Do not use this Service for medical, legal, or financial advice.
