At NanoKnowledgeAI (https://nanoknowledgeai.com), we are committed to protecting your privacy. This privacy policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and the steps we take to ensure it stays safe. Whether you’re browsing our articles, subscribing to our newsletter, or engaging with our content, your privacy is our priority.
Let’s dive deeper into each section of our privacy policy to give you a clear understanding of how we handle your data.
1. Information We Collect
We gather two main types of information from visitors to NanoKnowledgeAI: Personal Information and Non-Personal Information.
a) Personal Information
This type of information identifies you as an individual. Examples include:
- Your Name: If you provide your name in a contact form or sign-up field, we collect it to personalize our communication.
- Email Address: We collect your email when you subscribe to newsletters, reach out via forms, or communicate with us directly. This allows us to send you updates, respond to inquiries, and inform you about new content.
- Other Contact Information: If you submit details like a phone number or postal address (although we rarely ask for these), we store them securely.
How We Collect It:
You may voluntarily provide personal information when filling out forms on our website. We do not collect this data unless you specifically choose to share it with us.
b) Non-Personal Information
This refers to information that doesn’t directly identify you but helps us understand how visitors use our website.
Examples include:
- IP Addresses: An IP address is like a digital address for your device when you connect to the internet. We may log your IP address to identify where traffic is coming from (e.g., country or city) and help us monitor and secure the site.
- Browser Type and Operating System: Knowing what browsers or devices our visitors use helps us optimize the website for different users.
- Website Usage: We track which pages you visit, how much time you spend on them, and where you click. This helps us understand what content is most popular and how we can improve user experience.
How We Collect It:
This information is automatically collected through cookies, analytics tools, and server logs whenever you visit the site.
2. How We Use the Information
We use the information we collect to improve your experience, enhance our services, and communicate with you. Let’s break down how we use both types of information.
a) Personal Information:
- To Communicate with You: When you provide your email, we use it to send you newsletters, answer questions, or provide updates related to the site. For instance, if you sign up for our newsletter, you will receive emails about new articles or updates in AI research.
- For Service Requests: If you request information through a form or contact us directly, we use your contact details to respond to your request.
We only use your personal information for the reasons you shared it with us. We don’t sell or rent this data to third parties.
b) Non-Personal Information:
- To Improve the Website: By analyzing non-personal data (such as which articles are most read or how long visitors stay on certain pages), we can make informed decisions on how to improve the layout, content, and overall experience of NanoKnowledgeAI.
- For Security: We use technical information like IP addresses to monitor the security of our website. If there’s unusual activity, such as attempts to hack into our site, this data helps us block those efforts.
Example:
If many users are visiting a specific article, we may decide to create more content on that topic. Conversely, if a page isn’t being read, we can rethink how to present that information more effectively.
3. Cookies and Tracking Technologies
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They are widely used across the internet to help websites work efficiently and improve your browsing experience.
Types of Cookies We Use:
Essential Cookies: These are necessary for the website to function. Without them, certain services, like accessing secure areas of the site or remembering your login details, may not work.
Performance Cookies: These cookies collect information about how visitors use our site. For example, they allow us to see which pages are most popular or if visitors encounter any errors. The data collected is anonymous, and it helps us enhance the website.
Functionality Cookies: These remember your preferences and choices. For instance, if you’ve previously opted out of a particular pop-up, functionality cookies remember that choice so you won’t see it again.
Controlling Cookies:
You can control or delete cookies through your browser settings. Each browser has a different method for managing cookies. You can choose to block cookies or be notified when a site wants to store cookies on your device. Keep in mind that if you disable cookies, some parts of our site may not function properly.
4. Sharing of Information
At NanoKnowledgeAI, we are committed to respecting your privacy, and that means we do not sell, trade, or rent your personal information to third parties. However, there are some instances where we might share your data with trusted partners:
With Service Providers: To help us run the website, we may use third-party companies. For example, we might use an email service to send newsletters or analytics tools to study site traffic. These companies only have access to the data necessary to perform their job and are bound by contracts to keep your information secure.
In Legal Situations: If required by law or under legal authority, we may need to share your personal information. For instance, if a government agency requires data for a legal investigation, we may comply, but only when legally obligated.
5. Third-Party Links
NanoKnowledgeAI contains links to other websites or resources that we think may be of interest to you. However, once you click on those links and leave our site, we are no longer responsible for what happens on those third-party sites.
Example:
If we link to an external article on AI advancements, clicking on that link will take you away from NanoKnowledgeAI, and their privacy policies will govern what happens next.
Our Recommendation:
Always review the privacy policies of any external sites you visit, especially if you are providing them with personal information.
6. Data Retention
We retain your personal information only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes we collected it for, such as providing you with services, communicating updates, or complying with legal obligations.
Data Retention for Personal Information:
For example, if you unsubscribe from our newsletter, we will remove your contact details from our mailing list but may keep records of the action to maintain compliance with legal requirements.
Data Retention for Non-Personal Information:
We may keep non-personal data (such as website analytics) indefinitely, as this data helps us with long-term planning and analysis.
7. Security of Information
We take several steps to ensure your personal information is safe, but it’s important to understand that no system is 100% secure. Here’s how we protect your data:
Encryption: We use encryption protocols (SSL/TLS) to protect your personal information when it is transmitted across the internet.
Firewalls and Monitoring: We employ firewalls and regular security monitoring to prevent unauthorized access to our servers.
Security Audits: We regularly review and update our security practices to keep them current with evolving threats.
While we work hard to secure your data, it’s important to recognize that no method of online transmission is completely invulnerable.
8. Children’s Privacy
NanoKnowledgeAI is not intended for children under 13 years of age. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If we find out that a child under 13 has provided personal data without parental consent, we will delete it immediately.
What to Do If You Suspect a Child’s Data Has Been Collected:
If you believe we might have inadvertently collected personal information from a child under 13, please contact us immediately, and we will take action to remove the information.
9. Your Rights and Choices
You have rights over your personal information. This includes:
Access: You can request a copy of the personal data we hold about you.
Correction: If your information is incorrect or incomplete, you can ask us to update it.
Deletion: You can request that we delete your data, though we may retain certain information for legal or operational reasons.
