Privacy Policy

Last updated: Nov 7, 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how The AI Spotlight ("we", "us") at theaispotlight.com collects, uses and shares information when you visit our website or subscribe to our newsletter.

Information we collect

• Newsletter sign-ups. If you subscribe, we collect your email address and the page you subscribed from. We use it only to send you the newsletter and related updates. You can unsubscribe at any time using the link in every email.
• Contact messages. If you contact us, we receive your email address and message so we can reply.
• Automatically collected data. Like most websites, our hosting provider and analytics tools may log standard technical information such as IP address, browser type, device, referring page, pages visited and time of visit. We use this to keep the site secure and to understand which stories readers find useful.

Cookies and advertising

We use cookies and similar technologies to operate the site, measure traffic and show advertising.

• We use Google AdSense to display ads. Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this website or other websites.
• Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visits to this site and/or other sites on the Internet.
• You may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings. You can also opt out of some third-party vendors' use of cookies for personalized advertising at www.aboutads.info and, in the EU/UK, www.youronlinechoices.eu.
• Learn more about how Google uses information from sites that use its services at policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites.

Where required by law (for example in the European Economic Area, the UK and Switzerland), we ask for your consent before using cookies for personalized advertising, through a consent banner. You can change your choice at any time.

You can also block or delete cookies through your browser settings. Some features may not work properly without them.

How we use information

We use information to: deliver the newsletter; respond to messages; operate, secure and improve the site; understand readership; and show advertising that keeps the site free. We do not sell your email address.

Sharing

We share information only with service providers that help us run the site and newsletter (such as hosting, email delivery and advertising partners like Google), when required by law, or to protect our rights and the safety of our readers.

Data retention

We keep subscriber emails until you unsubscribe or ask us to delete them. Contact messages are kept only as long as needed to respond and keep a record of corrections.

Your rights

Depending on where you live (including under the GDPR and California law such as the CCPA/CPRA), you may have the right to access, correct, delete or export your personal information, and to object to or restrict certain processing. To make a request, email hello@theaispotlight.com. We will not discriminate against you for exercising these rights.

Children

The AI Spotlight is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.

We may update this policy from time to time. We will change the "Last updated" date above when we do.
