Project Research LLC built www.balloonpopping.space to be a quiet, distraction-free space. This policy explains what little data, if any, is involved.
AI Governance & Disclosure
In the interest of transparency, and consistent with FTC guidance on AI disclosures, Project Research LLC discloses the following about AI use in connection with this website, application, and related content:
- AI-assisted development. The code, design, and written content of this website were created with the assistance of AI tools, including Claude by Anthropic.
- AI-assisted content and media. Marketing copy, images, video, and social media posts associated with Project Research LLC or this Activity may be created, edited, or assisted using AI tools. A small number of the custom balloon graphics were produced with an AI image-generation tool (Higgsfield) and then hand-reviewed. Such content will be labeled where required.
- No AI interaction with users. The Activity itself contains no chatbot, virtual assistant, or other AI system that talks to, profiles, or engages with visitors.
- No automated decision-making. AI is not used to make legal, financial, or similarly significant decisions about any visitor.
- Not machine learning. The balloons you see and pop are produced by simple randomized animation code, not by an AI or machine-learning model — the Activity itself is not “AI-powered.”
- No user data is ever sent to an AI system. Because the Activity collects no accounts, no personal information, and no behavioral profiles (see below), there is nothing about you for any AI tool used in building or maintaining this site to process, store, or learn from.
- Human review before publication. AI-assisted code, text, and artwork is reviewed by a person at Project Research LLC before it ships, rather than published automatically.
- Governance approach. We aim to follow generally recognized, voluntary AI governance practices — data minimization, human review, and clear disclosure — in the spirit of frameworks like the NIST AI Risk Management Framework. This is a self-assessment, not a certification, and this is a low-risk context: a static, offline-logic canvas activity with no AI-driven interaction, profiling, or decision-making about any visitor.
This disclosure will be updated as AI use evolves, including with the planned standalone iOS and Android apps. Questions or concerns about our use of AI can be sent through the contact page.
No Accounts, No Personal Data Required
The Activity does not ask for a name, email, or any personal information. There is no sign-up, no login, and no chat box.
Local Device Storage
The Activity may use your browser’s local storage to remember basic technical preferences (such as audio state) on your own device. This information is not transmitted to Project Research LLC.
Analytics
A minimal, privacy-respecting analytics tool may be used to understand aggregate, anonymized usage (such as approximate visit counts) so the Activity can be improved. No individual profiles are built or sold.
Cookies
The Activity does not use cookies for advertising or tracking. Any cookie use is strictly functional.
Children
The Activity contains no language, no rules, and no ads, and is designed to be safe and calming for all ages.
Changes to This Policy
As the Activity grows into standalone iOS and Android apps, this policy will be updated to reflect any new data practices.
