This Privacy Policy explains how the AI & IP Protection Index ("we", "us", "our") collects and processes data at www.aiipprotection.org. We operate in accordance with the UK GDPR and the IAB Transparency and Consent Framework (TCF v2.3).
For users in the UK and EEA, we utilize a Google-certified Consent Management Platform (CMP). This site respects the IAB Europe TCF v2.3 specifications, ensuring that your advertising and tracking preferences are communicated accurately to all downstream vendors and ad-tech partners.
Voluntary Data: When using our contact form, we collect your name and email. This is processed under "Legitimate Interest" to facilitate communication.
Technical Data: We automatically log obfuscated IP addresses, browser strings, and referring URLs. This data is used for security auditing and to prevent automated scraping of our research directory.
We use Google AdSense to fund our independent research. Google uses cookies to serve ads based on your interests. 2026 regulatory standards require us to inform you that:
Consistent with our mission regarding Intellectual Property, we do not sell your personal data to third parties for the purpose of training Large Language Models (LLMs) or generative AI systems. Our technical logs are protected to ensure user browsing patterns remain private.
You hold the right to access, rectify, or delete your data. As we do not use user accounts, most personal data is stored in localized browser cookies. You can revoke all consent at any time by clicking the "Cookie Settings" link in our footer or by clearing your browser cache.
Contact enquiries are purged after 12 months. Technical logs are purged after 90 days. We employ industry-standard encryption (TLS 1.3) to protect data in transit between your device and our research index.
For enquiries regarding data protection or our IP directory, please use our dedicated contact portal. We aim to respond to all statutory data requests within 30 days.
