Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains what information AI BlogX collects, how it is used, and what choices readers have. It applies to public pages, newsletter subscriptions, and normal use of the website.

1. Information We Collect

We collect only the information needed to run the site and deliver requested features:

• Newsletter data: If you subscribe, we store your email address and digest preference so we can send updates and process unsubscribe requests.
• Technical request data: We may process limited request data such as IP-derived identifiers, browser information, and request metadata for rate limiting, abuse prevention, security, and troubleshooting.
• Article engagement data: We record article view events and aggregate view counts to understand what readers are using.
• Browser-side storage: Some features, such as saved posts, recent searches, and chat/widget state, may be stored locally in your browser.
• Admin session cookies: Protected admin routes use secure cookies for authentication and CSRF protection.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect to:

• Operate, maintain, and improve the website
• Send newsletters or alerts you choose to receive
• Measure readership and improve navigation and discovery
• Protect the site against spam, abuse, brute-force attempts, and other misuse
• Meet legal, security, or operational obligations when required

3. Sharing Your Information

We do not sell personal information. We may rely on service providers that support hosting, database operations, email delivery, and related infrastructure. Information may also be disclosed when reasonably necessary for security, fraud prevention, legal compliance, or to protect the site and its users.

4. Data Security

We use technical and organizational safeguards designed to protect the site and the data it handles. That includes authenticated admin access controls, request validation, and rate limiting on sensitive routes. No internet-based service can guarantee perfect security, so readers should use the site with that practical limitation in mind.

5. Your Rights

You have the right to:

• Unsubscribe from newsletter communications at any time
• Request access to or deletion of newsletter-related personal data we hold about you
• Ask questions about how your data is used on the site
• Manage cookies, local storage, and related browser-side settings from your device or browser

6. Cookies and Local Storage

The public site uses limited browser storage for user experience features such as saved posts, recent searches, and chat state. Admin access also relies on cookies for secure sign-in and CSRF protection. You can clear browser storage or disable cookies in your browser settings, though some features may stop working properly.

7. Third-Party Links

The site links to third-party websites, platforms, and sources. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of those external destinations. Review their policies separately before sharing personal information with them.

8. Children's Privacy

AI BlogX is not intended for children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided personal information through the site, contact us so we can review and delete it where appropriate.

9. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy as the site changes. When we do, we will revise the "Last updated" date on this page. Continued use of the site after an update means the revised policy applies going forward.
