Privacy Policy - How your data is protected

Information We Collect

Account Information

When you create an account, we collect your email address and device information. We use this to provide the service, send notifications, and ensure account security.

Usage Data

We collect usage information including which articles you read, categories you prefer, and app interaction patterns. This helps us improve our AI curation and user experience. Some of this data may be aggregated or pseudonymous.

Device Information

We collect device type, operating system version, and push notification tokens to deliver an optimized experience and send relevant news alerts.

Marketing website

When you visit gazetai.com, we use Vercel Web Analytics to understand aggregate traffic and product interest. Vercel describes how this product handles data in its documentation and privacy materials (Analytics privacy, Vercel privacy policy). We may also collect technical performance signals in the browser to improve load times and reliability.

How We Use Your Information

• Curate and deliver personalized news content
• Send push notifications for breaking news
• Improve our AI algorithms and service quality
• Process subscription payments through Apple and Google for in-app purchases, and through Stripe where we offer direct checkout (for example on the web)
• Provide customer support and respond to inquiries
• Ensure platform security and prevent abuse

AI Processing and Third-Party Providers

To power summarization, categorization, translation, scoring, and related features, we may send article text, headlines, metadata, and limited account or device context to third-party AI and infrastructure providers (for example, large language model APIs and cloud hosting). Providers process such data only as needed to deliver the service and in line with our agreements and applicable law. We do not use this section to override stricter terms in your region where they apply.

News content is aggregated from third-party publishers. We do not control those sources; their own privacy practices apply when you leave our apps or open original articles.

Information Sharing

We do not sell personal information. We may share data only in these limited circumstances:

• Service providers: Apple and Google for in-app purchases; Stripe for payment processing when you pay through our direct checkout; hosting and AI vendors; and analytics as described above, to operate the apps and website
• Website analytics: Vercel Web Analytics on our marketing site, as described in Vercel’s documentation
• Legal requirements: When required by law or to protect our rights
• Business transfer: In case of merger or acquisition

Data Retention

We retain your data only as long as necessary to provide the service:

• Account data: Until you delete your account
• Usage analytics: Aggregated or pseudonymous forms for periods consistent with our operational needs and this policy
• Support requests: For a limited period for quality assurance

Your Rights

Depending on your location, you may have the following rights:

• Access: Request a copy of your personal data
• Correction: Update incorrect information
• Deletion: Delete your account and associated data
• Portability: Export your data in a machine-readable format
• Objection: Opt out of certain data processing activities

Security

We apply reasonable technical and organizational measures appropriate to our service, including:

• Encryption in transit (for example TLS) between clients and our services where used
• Access controls and authentication for systems that store or process personal data
• Vendor security practices aligned with our infrastructure choices
• Monitoring and incident response processes designed to address abuse and outages

International Transfers

GazetAI operates globally. Your information may be transferred to and processed in countries other than your own. We use appropriate safeguards for international data transfers where required, including Standard Contractual Clauses for EU data subjects where applicable.

Children's Privacy

GazetAI is not intended for children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe we have collected information from a child, please contact us immediately.
