1. Our Commitment to Your Privacy

Welcome to AI Expert Magazine. Your trust is the foundation of our work, and we are committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect from you, how we use and share that information, and the choices you have regarding your data.
This policy applies to your use of the AI Expert Magazine website, our newsletters, and any other services we provide (collectively, our “Services”). By using our Services, you agree to the collection, use, and sharing of your information as described in this policy.
Our goal is to be as clear and transparent as possible. We want you to understand how we are using data to improve your reading experience—from personalizing article recommendations in Future Frontiers to ensuring our Deep Dives are relevant to your interests.

2. Information We Collect

We collect information in a few different ways to operate and improve our Services.
A. Information You Provide to Us Directly:
Contact Information: When you subscribe to our newsletters, contact us with a query, or participate in a survey, you may provide us with your name and email address.
Comments and Community Engagement: If you leave comments on articles, we collect the information you provide in those comments, including your name and email address.
Account Information: If we offer user accounts in the future, we will collect information needed to create and maintain your account, such as a username and password.

B. Information We Collect Automatically:
Like most online publications, we automatically collect certain information when you visit and interact with our Services.
Log Data: This includes your Internet Protocol (IP) address, browser type and settings, device information, operating system, the date and time of your visit, and the pages you viewed or links you clicked.

Usage Data: We collect information about your activity on our Services, such as which articles you read, how long you spend on a page, and what topics (like AI in Action or Trendspotting) you engage with most. This helps us understand what content our readers value.
Cookies and Tracking Technologies: We use cookies, web beacons, and similar technologies to help our Services function, analyze performance, and personalize your experience. Cookies are small data files stored on your browser. They help us remember your preferences, understand how you use our site, and support our advertising efforts.

3. How We Use Your Information
We use the information we collect for the following purposes, all aimed at delivering a premier publication:
To Operate and Improve Our Magazine: To provide you with access to our articles, send you our newsletters, and enhance the functionality and user experience of our website.
To Personalize Your Experience: To understand your interests and recommend relevant content. For example, if you frequently read Deep Dive articles, we may highlight new technical explorations for you.

For Analytics and Performance: To analyze traffic and usage trends, helping us make editorial decisions and improve our content strategy.
To Communicate With You: To respond to your comments and inquiries, and to send you important service-related notices.
For Marketing and Advertising: To display advertising that helps support our journalism. Some of this advertising may be targeted based on your interests and browsing behavior. We do not share your personally identifiable information (like your name or email) with advertisers without your consent.
For Security and Legal Compliance: To protect the security and integrity of our Services and to comply with legal obligations.

4. How We Share Your Information
We do not sell your personal information. We only share it in the following limited circumstances:
With Service Providers: We work with trusted third-party companies to help us operate, analyze, and improve our Services (e.g., website hosting, email delivery, and analytics providers like Google Analytics). These providers only have access to the information necessary to perform their functions and are contractually obligated to protect it.
With Advertising Partners: We may share aggregated or de-identified information (which cannot be used to identify you) with advertising partners to report on the performance of campaigns.

For Legal Reasons: We may disclose your information if we believe it is reasonably necessary to comply with a law, regulation, legal process, or governmental request; to protect the safety of any person; to address fraud, security, or technical issues; or to protect our rights or property.
In a Business Transfer: If AI Expert Magazine is involved in a merger, acquisition, or sale of all or a portion of our assets, your information may be transferred as part of that transaction. We will notify you of any such change in control.

5. Your Rights and Choices
You have control over your information.
Email Subscriptions: You can opt-out of our email newsletters at any time by clicking the “unsubscribe” link at the bottom of every email.
Cookie Controls: Most web browsers are set to accept cookies by default. You can usually adjust your browser settings to remove or reject cookies. Please note that blocking cookies may affect the availability and functionality of our Services.
Accessing and Correcting Your Information: Depending on your location (e.g., if you are in the European Economic Area or California), you may have the right to request access to, correct, or delete the personal information we hold about you. To make such a request, please contact us at the email below.

6. Data Security
We take the security of your data seriously. We use reasonable technical and administrative measures—such as encryption and access controls—to protect your information from loss, theft, misuse, and unauthorized access. However, no online service is 100% secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.

7. Children’s Privacy
Our Services are not directed to individuals under the age of 16. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 16. If we become aware that a child has provided us with personal information, we will take steps to delete such information.

8. Changes to This Privacy Policy
The world of AI is constantly evolving, and so are we. We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will post the updated policy on this page and revise the “Effective Date” at the top. We encourage you to review this policy periodically to stay informed.
