At AI Compliance Insider, we take your privacy seriously — especially given our focus on the very regulations, like the EU AI Act and US state privacy laws, that are reshaping how organizations handle personal data. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect when you visit our website, how we use it, and your rights regarding that data.

Analytics and Site Improvement

We use aggregated, anonymized data from site analytics to understand which topics resonate with our audience, improve article quality, and optimize the user experience. We do not use this data to build individual profiles.

We participate in programmatic display advertising through networks such as Google AdSense, Mediavine, or AdThrive. These networks may use cookies and tracking pixels to serve ads relevant to your browsing behavior across the web. We do not share your personal information directly with advertisers.

3. Legal Bases for Processing (EU/UK Visitors)

If you are located in the European Union or United Kingdom, our legal bases for processing your personal data are:

Consent — for newsletter subscriptions and non-essential cookies
Legitimate interests — for analytics and site security, where those interests are not overridden by your privacy rights
Contractual necessity — where applicable to service delivery

You have the right to withdraw consent at any time. Doing so does not affect the lawfulness of processing before withdrawal.

4. Cookies

We encourage you to review the privacy policies of these providers to understand how they handle your data.

8. Data Security

We implement reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your personal data against unauthorized access, loss, or disclosure. However, no method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
