STATUS:ACTIVE

1. Introduction

At AICompare, we take your privacy and data security seriously. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you visit our website aicompare.dev(the "Site"). Please read this privacy policy carefully.

2. Information We Collect

2.1 Information You Provide to Us

We may collect information you provide directly to us, such as when you:

  • Subscribe to our newsletters, engineering reports, or updates
  • Contact us with technical feedback, queries, or support requests
  • Submit benchmark data or contribute to our comparative reviews
  • Sign up for alerts or interactive platform features

2.2 Information Automatically Collected

When you access the Site, we automatically collect certain technical telemetry about your session to optimize page performance and load speeds, including:

  • IP address (anonymized/hashed where appropriate)
  • Browser type, engine version, and operating system
  • Pages viewed, interaction time, and links clicked
  • Referring URL or marketing channels
  • Performance metrics (LCP, TTFB, rendering speeds)

3. How We Use Your Information

We process your data strictly under legal and legitimate business bases to:

  • Deliver, maintain, and optimize the AICompare platform
  • Send you weekly SaaS audits, benchmark reports, and newsletters (with your consent)
  • Respond to inquiries, bug reports, and customer service requests
  • Analyze system performance, load profiles, and navigation patterns
  • Prevent fraudulent activities, spam attacks, and unauthorized system access

4. Cookies and Telemetry Tracking

We use cookies, local storage, and similar technologies to track activity on our Site and store certain local preferences (e.g. system dark/light mode preference). You can adjust your browser settings to refuse cookies, though some parts of our Site may not function as intended.

Types of Storage We Use:

  • Essential Cookies & LocalStorage: Required for UI state, system theme preservation, and operational integrity.
  • Analytics & Telemetry: Anonymized usage data to help us audit page performance and track reader preferences.

5. Third-Party Integrations & Analytics

We rely on high-performance, developer-aligned third-party services to deliver page resources and perform traffic analysis:

5.1 Analytics & Performance Tracking

We may use lightweight, privacy-focused analytics software or cloud data ingestion layers to monitor site traffic. This telemetry is stored securely and is used solely to improve our technical articles, comparisons, and user experiences.

5.2 Hosting and CDN (Content Delivery Network)

Our site is compiled and served globally using secure cloud platforms. Infrastructure providers collect basic connection metrics (including IP address, request method, and status codes) to defend against DDoS attacks, distribute assets, and route traffic efficiently.

6. Data Security and Encryption

We implement rigorous technical controls to protect your data. All traffic to and from AICompare is encrypted in transit using Transport Layer Security (TLS 1.3). While we work to preserve absolute security, no data transmission method over the internet is completely bulletproof, and we cannot guarantee 100% security.

7. Data Retention

We retain personal information (such as newsletter subscription emails) only for as long as necessary to fulfill the services you requested, or as required by legal obligations.

8. Your Privacy Rights

Depending on your location (including the European Economic Area under the GDPR and California under the CCPA), you hold specific rights regarding your personal data:

  • Access & Portability: Request details of the data we hold and export it in a structured format.
  • Rectification: Request correction of inaccurate or incomplete records.
  • Deletion: Request erasure of your personal records (such as unsubscribing from mailing lists).
  • Objection: Object to processing of data based on legitimate interests.

9. Children's Privacy

Our platform is designed for professional software engineers and is not intended for children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal details from children under 13.

10. Modifications to this Policy

We may revise this Privacy Policy periodically. Any modifications will be posted directly to this page with an updated "Last updated" date at the top of this document.
