Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

Welcome to {{SiteName}} (the "Site"). We provide AI-powered news and blog content and use automated tools to help deliver, personalize, and moderate content. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, why we collect it, how we use it, and your rights.

PLEASE NOTE: replace {{SiteName}}, {{CompanyName}}, and contact placeholders below with your real business details before publishing.

2. Data we collect

2.1 Personal data you provide

• Account information (name, email) if you create an account or subscribe.
• Comments, feedback, and other content you post.
• Contact form messages and correspondence.

2.2 Technical & usage data

Automatically collected when you visit the Site:

• IP address and approximate geolocation.
• Device and browser information, operating system, screen size.
• Pages viewed, click behavior, referrer URLs, time stamps, and performance metrics.
• Cookies and local storage identifiers (see Cookies section).

2.3 Data from third parties

We may receive information about you from third party services you connect with (e.g., social login providers) and from analytics, advertising, and content partners.

3. How we use your data

• To provide, maintain, and improve the Site and our services.
• To personalize content and recommend articles using AI models.
• To moderate comments and detect abuse using automated tools.
• To send transactional messages, newsletters, and updates (with consent where required).
• To analyze and measure audience engagement and performance with analytics tools.
• To comply with legal obligations and protect our rights.

4. AI and automated processing

Because we use AI to generate recommendations and assist editorial workflows, it's important you understand how automated processing affects content and personal data:

• Content generation: Some headlines, summaries, or drafts may be generated or assisted by AI. These outputs may contain inaccuracies — always verify important information from primary sources.
• Personalization & profiling: We may use automated profiling to recommend articles, personalize newsletters, or target content based on your interests and behavior. You can opt out where required under applicable law (see "Your rights").
• Training data: Staff and service providers may use anonymized or aggregated site data to improve AI models. We will not use your personal data to train models unless we have a lawful basis to do so. Where we do use contributed content to train models, we will disclose this practice and, if required by law, obtain consent.
• Human review: Automated decisions that materially affect you will be subject to human review where required by law.

5. Third-party services & links

We use third-party services to run analytics, deliver ads, host media, and provide AI capabilities (for example: analytics providers, ad networks, CDN and cloud providers, AI vendors). These services may collect or process your data independently under their own privacy policies.

Examples of categories: Analytics (e.g., Google Analytics, Matomo), Advertising partners, Social networks (when you use social sharing), and AI/ML vendors. Replace or enumerate specific vendors here before publishing.

The Site may link to external sites. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of other websites — check their policies before providing personal data.

6. Cookies & similar technologies

We and our partners use cookies, pixels, local storage, and similar technologies to store identifiers, remember preferences, measure performance, and deliver personalized content and ads.

Types of cookies

• Necessary: required for site operation (sessions, security).
• Preferences: remember language or display choices.
• Analytics: measure usage and improve the site.
• Marketing: used by ad partners to deliver relevant ads.

You can control cookies through your browser or device settings. For EU/EEA users, we will obtain consent for non-essential cookies where required by law.

7. Data retention

We retain personal data only as long as necessary for the purposes described in this policy, to comply with legal obligations, or to resolve disputes. Specific retention periods depend on the type of data (e.g., account data while your account is active; server logs for a limited period for security/operational reasons).

8. Security

We implement reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect personal data. However, no internet service is completely secure. If a data breach occurs and we are required to notify affected individuals or authorities, we will do so in accordance with applicable law.

9. Your rights

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have the following rights regarding your personal data:

• Right to access and obtain a copy of your personal data.
• Right to rectify inaccurate or incomplete data.
• Right to erase (delete) your data in certain circumstances.
• Right to restrict or object to processing, including profiling and direct marketing.
• Right to data portability (receive data in a structured, machine-readable format).
• Right to withdraw consent at any time (where processing is based on consent).
• Right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority (for EU residents: your local data protection authority).

To exercise these rights, contact us at the address below. We may need to verify your identity before fulfilling requests.
