Privacy Policy

We believe in minimal data collection and maximum transparency. Here's exactly what we collect, why, and how you stay in control.

Last updated: March 2026

The Short Version

AIfocus is a static website with no user accounts, no databases, and no server-side processing. We don't sell your data. We don't build user profiles. We use standard analytics to understand how visitors interact with our content so we can write better reviews and guides for the academic community.

Information We Collect

Automatically Collected

When you visit AIfocus, standard web analytics may collect:

Browser type and version

Pages visited and approximate time on page

Referring URL (where you came from)

General geographic region (country or region level only)

Device type and screen resolution

Voluntarily Provided

If you contact us via email or submit a tool suggestion, we may receive:

Your name and email address

Any details you include in your message

We use this information only to respond to your enquiry. We do not add you to any mailing list without your explicit consent.

How We Use Your Information

We use the data described above solely to:

Understand which reviews and guides are most useful to our academic audience

Improve site navigation, content quality, and overall experience

Respond to enquiries, tool suggestions, and feedback

Ensure the site functions correctly across devices

We never sell, rent, or share your personal information with third parties for marketing purposes.

Cookies & Tracking

AIfocus may use cookies for basic site analytics. Additionally, when you click an affiliate link and sign up for an AI tool through our site, the SaaS provider or affiliate network may set their own cookies to track the referral. These third-party cookies are governed by the respective provider's privacy policy, not ours.

Most browsers allow you to block or delete cookies through their settings. Blocking cookies will not affect your ability to read our content.

Third-Party Services

We may use the following categories of third-party services:

→

Analytics providers — to understand aggregate traffic patterns and content performance. We do not use analytics that build individual user profiles.

→

Affiliate networks — to track referral commissions when you sign up for AI tools through our links. These networks operate under their own privacy policies.

→

Hosting provider (GitHub Pages) — our static site is hosted on GitHub Pages, which may collect standard server logs. See GitHub's privacy statement for details.

Data Retention

Analytics data is retained in aggregate form only. Any personal information you provide through direct contact (email, tool suggestions) is retained only as long as necessary to respond to your enquiry and is not stored in any permanent database.

Your Rights

You have the right to:

Request access to any personal data we may hold about you

Request correction or deletion of your personal data

Opt out of analytics tracking via your browser settings or a do-not-track extension

Withdraw consent for any data processing at any time

If you are located in the European Economic Area, you may also have rights under the GDPR, including the right to lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this privacy policy from time to time. Any changes will be reflected on this page with an updated "Last updated" date. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
