Our Commitment to Privacy
Effective date: May 20, 2026
At The AI Feed, you can read the site without creating an account. This policy explains what we collect, why we collect it, what services receive it, and how you can control it.
Data We Collect
- Messages and correction requests: If you send a contact message or correction, we collect the email address, message details, category, page context, and security-check token you submit.
- Analytics and advertising choices: We use Google Analytics to understand aggregate readership, traffic sources, experiments, returning-reader behavior, and outbound paid-link clicks. Where Google-served display ads are eligible, we use Google AdSense to serve Google-managed ads.
- Browser storage: We store essential preferences such as privacy choice, theme, and ad-consent mode. If you allow analytics, we may also store experiment assignment, first-touch attribution, and visit count in browser storage.
- Form security: We use Cloudflare Turnstile to reduce spam and abuse on forms. Turnstile processes browser and request signals such as IP address, user agent, TLS fingerprint, sitekey, and origin for bot detection.
- Basic technical data: Our hosting and security providers may process normal server request data, such as IP address, browser, device, URL, referring page, and timestamps, to deliver and secure the site.
Cookies And Browser Storage
Analytics is optional. When you first visit the site, you can allow analytics or continue with essential storage only. We do not load Google Analytics until analytics is allowed.
You can reopen the privacy banner from the Privacy choices button in the footer. You can also clear this site’s browser storage in your browser settings.
Google explains how it uses data from partner sites at How Google uses information from sites or apps that use our services. Cloudflare explains Turnstile-specific processing in its Turnstile Privacy Addendum.
How We Use Data
We use data to:
- operate, secure, and debug the site;
- respond to messages and corrections;
- measure aggregate readership and improve editorial/product decisions;
- remember privacy and theme preferences;
- detect spam, abuse, and automated form submissions;
- disclose paid relationships and measure outbound sponsored or affiliate clicks.
When We Share Data
We share data with service providers that help run the site, including Google Analytics, Google AdSense when display ads are enabled, Cloudflare, Cloudflare Pages/Workers, and message-processing infrastructure. These providers process data for hosting, security, analytics, advertising, form protection, and message handling.
We do not sell personal information. We load Google Analytics only after you allow analytics in the privacy choices banner. Outside the EEA, the United Kingdom, and Switzerland, that banner also controls Google-served ad loading. In the EEA, the United Kingdom, and Switzerland, Google’s certified consent message controls Google-served ads.
Advertising And Affiliate Links
The AI Feed may use advertising, affiliate links, sponsorships, or paid product links. Paid relationships will be disclosed near the relevant link or placement. Revenue relationships do not control our editorial rankings, source notes, or corrections.
When you click an outbound paid or affiliate link, we may record an aggregate click event. The destination site may collect information under its own privacy policy.
If Google AdSense ads are enabled and eligible for your region, Google may process ad request data and use cookies or similar technologies according to Google’s advertising and privacy policies. For visitors in the EEA, the United Kingdom, and Switzerland, we use Google’s certified consent message for Google-served ads. You can choose Essential only or reopen Privacy choices in the footer to stop new analytics events from this browser.
Your Choices And Rights
Depending on where you live, you may have rights to request access, correction, deletion, portability, restriction, objection, withdrawal of consent, or information about how your data is used. You can contact us through the Contact page to make a privacy request.
You can withdraw analytics consent at any time with Privacy choices in the footer. Withdrawing consent stops new analytics events from this browser and asks the site to remove Google Analytics cookies it can access.
Retention
We keep personal data only as long as needed for the purposes above, unless a longer period is required for legal, security, or operational reasons. Browser storage remains on your device until you change your choice or clear it. Analytics retention is controlled in Google Analytics settings.
Children
The AI Feed is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.
Security
We use HTTPS, spam protection, limited collection, and service-provider controls to protect data. No internet service can guarantee perfect security, so please do not submit sensitive personal information through our forms.
International Processing
The AI Feed and its service providers may process data in the United States and other countries where they operate.
Changes
We will update this page when our privacy practices change. If a change materially affects how we collect, use, or share personal information, we will update the effective date and the notice on this page.
