Privacy Policy

1. Information We Collect

We do not collect, store, or process any personal data directly. We do not have user accounts, contact forms, comment sections, or any other mechanism that would allow us to collect personally identifiable information (PII) such as your name, email address, or phone number.

However, third-party services we use (see Sections 3–5) may automatically collect certain non-personal information when you visit our Site, including:

• Browser type and version
• Operating system
• Referring website addresses
• Date and time of page views
• Pages viewed and time spent on the Site
• General geographic location (country/city level, not precise location)
• Device type and screen resolution
• Interaction data (clicks, scrolls, etc.)

2. Cookies

Cookies are small text files placed on your device by websites you visit. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently and to provide usage information.

Our Site uses cookies strictly through third-party services:

• Google Analytics 4 (GA4) – uses cookies to distinguish unique users and track aggregate usage statistics.
• Google AdSense – uses cookies to serve personalized or non-personalized ads based on your browsing activity.
• Amazon Associates – uses cookies to track affiliate referrals and commission eligibility (usually a 24-hour cookie).

We do not use any first-party analytics or advertising cookies ourselves. You can control cookie preferences through your browser settings or via the cookie consent tools described in Section 7.

To learn how to manage or delete cookies, visit aboutcookies.org.

3. Google Analytics 4 (GA4)

We use Google Analytics 4, a web analytics service provided by Google LLC (“Google”). GA4 helps us understand how visitors use the Site by collecting anonymous, aggregated data.

GA4 may use cookies and similar technologies to collect information such as:

• Pages visited and how users navigate the Site
• Approximate geographic location (country/region only)
• Device and browser information
• Traffic sources (e.g., search engine, social media, direct)

GA4 is configured to anonymize IP addresses (IP masking) by default, so your full IP address is never stored. The data collected is transmitted to and stored by Google on servers in the United States.

Google may use this data in accordance with its Privacy Policy. You can opt out of Google Analytics by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.

4. Google AdSense

We may display advertisements via Google AdSense, a service provided by Google. AdSense uses cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to our Site and other websites across the internet (remarketing/behavioral advertising).

AdSense may collect:

• Your IP address (truncated)
• Browser and device type
• General location data
• Interaction with ads (clicks, impressions)

Google AdSense uses the “DoubleClick” cookie to enable interest-based ads. You can manage ad personalization settings via Google’s Ads Settings. For users in the European Economic Area (EEA), Google serves non-personalized ads by default unless consent is given.

We comply with Google’s AdSense Program Policies, including the prohibition on collecting sensitive personal data.

5. Amazon Associates (Affiliate Links)

AI Science Hub participates in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for sites to earn advertising fees by linking to Amazon.com and affiliated sites.

When you click on an Amazon affiliate link on our Site, Amazon may place a temporary cookie on your browser to track the referral. This cookie typically lasts for 24 hours and allows Amazon to credit us for any qualifying purchases you make during that period.

Amazon’s use of cookies and data is governed by the Amazon Privacy Notice. We do not receive any personal information about you from Amazon—we only see aggregated commission reports.

Amazon affiliate links are disclosed on our Site in accordance with FTC guidelines. We mark them with “(affiliate link)” or a similar disclosure where practicable.

6. Data Sharing & Disclosure

We do not sell, trade, or rent your personal information to third parties. The only data sharing that occurs is through the third-party services described above (Google Analytics, AdSense, Amazon Associates) as part of their normal operation.

We may disclose information if required to do so by law, or in the good-faith belief that such action is necessary to comply with legal obligations, protect our rights, or ensure the safety of our users.

7. Your GDPR Rights (EU Users)

If you are located in the European Economic Area (EEA), the United Kingdom, or Switzerland, you have the following rights under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR):

• Right to be informed – You are reading this policy, which explains how we and our third-party services use data.
• Right of access – You can request a copy of any personal data held about you (though we hold none directly).
• Right to rectification – You can ask us to correct any inaccurate data.
• Right to erasure (“Right to be forgotten”) – You can request deletion of data we hold about you.
• Right to restrict processing – You can ask us to limit how your data is processed.
• Right to data portability – You can request a copy of your data in a structured format.
• Right to object – You can object to processing for direct marketing or analytics purposes.
• Rights related to automated decision-making – We do not engage in automated profiling.

To exercise these rights, contact us using the details in Section 10. We will respond within 30 days as required by law.

Cookie Consent: For users in the EEA, we use a cookie consent banner that requires your explicit opt-in before non-essential cookies (e.g., AdSense personalization) are set. You can withdraw your consent at any time by clearing cookies in your browser settings.

Google Analytics 4 for EEA users is configured to use non-personalized analytics by default, and IP addresses are anonymized. AdSense may serve non-personalized ads until you provide consent for personalized advertising.

You also have the right to lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority (e.g., the ICO in the UK, the CNIL in France).

8. Your CCPA Rights (California Residents)

Under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), as amended by the CPRA, California residents have the following rights:

• Right to Know – You can request disclosure of the categories and specific pieces of personal information we have collected about you in the past 12 months.
• Right to Delete – You can request deletion of personal information we have collected from you.
• Right to Opt-Out of Sale – We do not sell personal information. However, if you consider the sharing of data with Google and Amazon as a “sale” under the CCPA, you can opt out by contacting us or using the Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal if supported by your browser.
• Right to Non-Discrimination – We will not discriminate against you for exercising any of your CCPA rights.
• Right to Correct – You can request correction of inaccurate personal information.
• Right to Limit Use of Sensitive Personal Information – We do not process sensitive personal information.

Categories of personal information collected in the past 12 months (via third-party services):

• Identifiers: IP address (anonymized), cookie IDs
• Internet or electronic network activity: browsing history, interactions with Site and ads
• Geolocation data: approximate location (city/country level)
• Inferences drawn from the above to create profiles about preferences and behavior (for ad personalization)

We do not sell personal information of minors under 16 without affirmative consent. To exercise your CCPA rights, contact us via Section 10. We will verify your identity and respond within 45 days.

9. Children’s Privacy (COPPA)

AI Science Hub is not directed at children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect, use, or disclose personal information from children under 13. If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has provided personal information to us (through a third-party service), please contact us immediately. We will take steps to delete such information promptly.

Because we do not collect personal data directly, we do not have age-verification mechanisms. However, we comply with the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) by ensuring that any third-party services we use (Google Analytics, AdSense, Amazon) also comply with COPPA requirements. Google Adsense is configured to not serve personalized ads to users known to be under 18, and we do not use any data for behavioral advertising targeted at children.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, legal requirements, or the services we use. When we make material changes, we will update the “Last updated” date at the top of this page and may notify you via a notice on the Site.

We encourage you to review this policy periodically. Your continued use of the Site after changes are posted constitutes your acceptance of the updated policy.
