Privacy Policy

Overview

AI News Junction ("we," "our," or "us") operates the website located at ainewsjunction.org. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect when you visit the site, how we use it, and the choices you have over that information. We take your privacy seriously and only collect what's necessary to run the service.

Information We Collect

We collect information in two ways: information you provide to us directly, and information collected automatically as you use the site.

Information you provide: When you subscribe to our newsletter or fill out our contact form, we collect your name and email address. We do not require account creation to read our content.

Information collected automatically: When you visit the site, our servers automatically log your IP address, browser type, referring URL, pages viewed, and the time and date of your visit. We use this information in aggregate to understand how readers use the site and to improve our coverage.

How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect to:

• Send the AI News Junction Daily Brief newsletter to subscribers who have opted in
• Respond to your messages and contact form submissions
• Analyze site traffic and reader behavior in aggregate to improve editorial decisions
• Detect and prevent fraudulent or abusive activity

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties for marketing purposes.

Cookies and Tracking

We use cookies — small text files stored on your device — to remember your preferences and understand how you navigate the site. You can control cookies through your browser settings. Disabling cookies may affect some site functionality.

We may use analytics services (such as privacy-respecting alternatives to Google Analytics) to understand aggregate traffic patterns. These services have their own privacy policies, which we encourage you to review.

Newsletter Communications

If you subscribe to the AI News Junction Daily Brief, you'll receive regular editorial emails from us. Every email we send includes an unsubscribe link at the bottom. You can also email us at privacy@ainewsjunction.org to be removed from our list.

Data Retention

We retain subscriber email addresses for as long as you remain subscribed. Contact form submissions are retained for up to 12 months. Server logs are typically purged after 90 days.

Your Rights

Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, or delete personal information we hold about you. To exercise any of these rights, contact us at privacy@ainewsjunction.org. We will respond within 30 days.

Children's Privacy

AI News Junction is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us and we will delete it promptly.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we'll revise the "last updated" date at the top of this page. We encourage you to review this policy periodically. Continued use of the site after any changes indicates your acceptance of the updated policy.
