Our Commitment to Privacy
Effective date: June 30, 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: We use Cloudflare Web Analytics to understand aggregate page readership and site performance. Cloudflare Web Analytics is cookie-free, does not use localStorage, and does not receive custom click or conversion events from our site.
- Advertising choices: We maintain Google AdSense publisher verification and
ads.txtrecords, but Google-served display ads are not currently loaded while visual ad placements are disabled. If display ads are enabled later, Google AdSense may serve Google-managed ads according to the choices described below. - Browser storage: The site does not currently set its own cookies or localStorage during normal reading. Ad-region or consent storage is used only if Google-served display ads are enabled later.
- 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
Cloudflare Web Analytics loads by default because it is cookie-free and does not store or read browser storage to identify individual users. It measures aggregate page traffic and performance rather than custom events such as outbound clicks or form submissions.
There is currently no custom consent banner because the site does not load Google-served display ads, does not request display ads, and does not use optional browser storage for experiments.
If we enable Google-served display ads later, visitors in the EEA, the United Kingdom, and Switzerland will manage Google-served ad consent through Google’s certified consent message. Outside those regions, we will add an appropriate control before loading optional Google-served display ads where a consent or opt-out control is required.
Cloudflare explains Web Analytics at Cloudflare Web Analytics and Turnstile-specific processing in its Turnstile Privacy Addendum. Google explains advertising data use at How Google uses information from sites or apps that use our services.
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;
- detect spam, abuse, and automated form submissions;
- disclose paid relationships and understand aggregate readership around monetized pages.
When We Share Data
We share data with service providers that help run the site, including Cloudflare Web Analytics, Cloudflare Pages/Workers, Cloudflare Turnstile, Google AdSense when display ads are enabled, and message-processing infrastructure. These providers process data for hosting, security, analytics, advertising, form protection, and message handling.
We do not sell personal information. Cloudflare Web Analytics loads by default as a cookie-free analytics service. Google AdSense receives ad-request data only when Google-served display ads are enabled and allowed for the visitor’s region and choice.
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, the destination site may collect information under its own privacy policy. Cloudflare Web Analytics measures page-level traffic rather than custom outbound click events.
Current status: Google-served display ads are disabled. We may still use AdSense account verification and ads.txt so the site is ready for review or future monetization, but those records do not load display ads by themselves.
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. Outside those regions, we will provide an appropriate control before loading optional Google-served display ads where one is required.
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.
If Google-served display ads are enabled later, visitors in the EEA, the United Kingdom, and Switzerland can use Google’s consent message where available to manage Google-served ad choices. Visitors elsewhere will receive an appropriate control where a consent or opt-out control is required.
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. Analytics retention is controlled in Cloudflare Web 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.
