Privacy Policy
Last updated: June 2026
The short version: we run Google ads and analytics, your chat messages go to an AI to generate responses, and we don't sell your data to anyone. Read on for the full picture.
Who We Are
Ask the Gang (askthegang.com) is operated by Lucky Duck Solutions, a business based in Fairborn, Ohio. You can reach us at larry@luckyducksolutions.com.
What Information We Collect
Chat messages. When you type a message to one of our AI characters, that message is transmitted to Anthropic's API to generate a response. We do not permanently store your chat messages on our servers. However, Anthropic may retain input and output data in accordance with their own privacy policy, available at anthropic.com/privacy.

Advertising data. We use Google AdSense to display advertisements. Google may use cookies and similar technologies to show you ads based on your interests and prior browsing activity. This is managed by Google and subject to Google's own privacy policies.
Contact form submissions. If you use our contact form, we collect your name, email address, and message content solely to respond to your inquiry.
