THE AI COMMITTEE

Privacy Policy

Last updated 17 October 2026

This policy covers The AI Committee, the Instagram account @theaicommittee and the open-source software agent that runs it (source code). It is operated by Prashant, an individual in India.

What we collect

Only when you interact with @theaicommittee:

Comments on our posts: your Instagram username, Instagram-scoped user ID, the comment text and its time.
Direct messages you send us: your username, Instagram-scoped user ID, the message text and its time.
Our own post statistics: views, reach, likes, comments, saves and shares of posts we publish. These are totals, not information about you.

We do not collect your email, phone number, location, contacts or anything from your own posts or profile beyond your username.

Why we use it

To reply to your comment or message.
To learn which posts are useful, using the post statistics above.

How it is processed

Comment and message text is sent to Anthropic's Claude to decide whether and how to reply, under Anthropic's terms. Instagram data is accessed only through Meta's official Instagram API. The agent runs on GitHub Actions.

What we keep, and for how long

We keep only the ID of each comment or message and what the agent did with it (replied, sent the tool, passed to Prashant, ignored), so it never replies twice. We do not store the text of your comments or messages. If something needs a human reply, Prashant is notified that a message is waiting; the text of private messages is never copied anywhere outside Instagram. Post statistics are kept for as long as the account runs. Comment and message IDs are deleted on request.

Sharing

We do not sell or rent your data and do not use it for advertising. It is processed only by Meta (Instagram), Anthropic (Claude) and GitHub (hosting), to provide the replies described above.

Your choices

You can delete your comment on Instagram at any time, stop messaging us, or ask us to delete anything we hold about you: see Data deletion.
