Privacy Policy

Effective Date: January 1, 2025 · Last Updated: January 1, 2025

AI Theoria, Inc. ("AI Theoria," "we," "us," or "our") is committed to protecting the privacy of individuals who interact with our website and services. This Privacy Policy describes how we collect, use, disclose, and protect personal information in accordance with applicable law, including the Massachusetts Privacy Act and other applicable state and federal privacy regulations.

1. Information We Collect

We collect information you provide directly to us when you submit an inquiry through our contact form, subscribe to our research publications, or engage with our consulting services. This information may include your name, email address, telephone number, organization name, job title, and information about your AI initiatives or challenges.

We also collect information automatically when you visit our website, including your IP address, browser type, operating system, referring URLs, pages visited, and the date and time of your visits. This information is collected using standard web server logs and, where applicable, analytics tools configured to minimize personal data collection.

We do not collect payment information through our website. Any financial transactions are conducted through separate, secure channels.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect to respond to your inquiries and provide the consulting services you have requested. We may use your contact information to send you research publications, event invitations, and other communications that we believe may be of interest to you, provided you have consented to receive such communications or we have a legitimate interest in sending them. We use automatically collected website information to understand how visitors use our website and to improve our content and user experience.

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties. We do not use your personal information to train AI models without your explicit consent.

3. Legal Basis for Processing

Where required by applicable law, we process personal information on the basis of your consent, the performance of a contract, compliance with a legal obligation, or our legitimate business interests. Our legitimate interests include providing and improving our services, preventing fraud, and maintaining the security of our systems.

4. Information Sharing and Disclosure

We may share your personal information with service providers who assist us in operating our website and delivering our services, subject to confidentiality obligations. These service providers may include cloud infrastructure providers, email service providers, and analytics platforms. We require all service providers to process personal information only in accordance with our instructions and in compliance with applicable privacy law.

We may also disclose your personal information if required to do so by law or in response to a valid legal process, or if we believe that disclosure is necessary to protect the rights, property, or safety of AI Theoria, our clients, or others.

5. Data Retention

We retain personal information for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, to comply with our legal obligations, and to resolve disputes. Inquiry-related information is typically retained for five years from the date of last contact. Website analytics data is retained in aggregated, anonymized form indefinitely and in identifiable form for a maximum of 26 months.

6. Data Security

We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect personal information against unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, and destruction. These measures include encryption of data in transit and at rest, access controls, and regular security assessments. However, no method of transmission over the internet or method of electronic storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

7. Your Rights

Depending on your location and applicable law, you may have the right to access, correct, delete, or restrict the processing of your personal information. You may also have the right to object to our processing of your information, to receive your information in a portable format, and to withdraw consent where processing is based on consent. Massachusetts residents have additional rights under state privacy law, including the right to know what personal information is collected and how it is used.

To exercise any of these rights, please contact us at research@aitheoria.com. We will respond to your request within 30 days. We may require verification of your identity before processing your request.

8. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

Our website uses cookies and similar tracking technologies to provide certain functionality and to collect analytics information. You can control cookies through your browser settings and through the cookie consent banner on our website. Please see our Cookie Policy for more information.

9. Third-Party Links

Our website may contain links to third-party websites. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those websites. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any third-party websites you visit.

10. Children's Privacy

Our website and services are not directed to individuals under the age of 18, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If we become aware that we have inadvertently collected personal information from a child, we will promptly delete that information.

11. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will post the updated policy on our website and update the "Last Updated" date at the top of this page. We encourage you to review this policy periodically. Your continued use of our website after any changes constitutes your acceptance of the updated policy.
