Privacy Policy

Daily Tidbit LLC ("Daily Tidbit," "we," "us," or "our") operates AI Field Guide at AIFieldGuide.org (the "Site"). This Privacy Policy explains what limited information we collect, how we use it, and your rights.

By using the Site, you agree to this Privacy Policy. We may update it periodically; continued use after changes constitutes acceptance.

1. WHAT THIS SITE IS — AND IS NOT

AI Field Guide is a read-only reference resource. We do not offer user accounts, registration, login, community features, or the ability to submit content. Because of this, the amount of personal information we collect is minimal.

A. Information Collected Automatically

When you visit the Site, we may automatically collect:

• IP address and general geographic location (city/region level, not precise)
• Browser type, device type, and operating system
• Referring URLs, pages viewed, and session duration
• Date and time of access

This data is collected through standard web server logs and analytics tools.

B. Analytics

We use analytics services (such as Google Analytics or similar) to understand how visitors use the Site in aggregate. These services may set cookies or use similar tracking technologies. Analytics data is used only to improve the Site and is not sold or shared for marketing purposes.

C. Information You Voluntarily Provide

If you contact us directly (e.g., by email), we collect the information you choose to share, such as your name and email address, solely to respond to your inquiry.

D. What We Do NOT Collect

We do not collect:

• Account credentials or passwords
• Payment or financial information

3. HOW WE USE YOUR INFORMATION

We use the limited information we collect to:

• Monitor and improve Site performance and reliability
• Understand aggregate usage patterns to improve content

We do not use your information for targeted advertising, profiling, or sale to third parties.

4. COOKIES AND TRACKING

We use a minimal number of cookies:

• Analytics cookies (e.g., Google Analytics) to understand aggregate site usage
• Essential cookies if required for basic site functionality

You can disable cookies through your browser settings. Doing so will not affect your ability to use the Site, as it has no login or account features.

For Google Analytics specifically, you can opt out using the Google Analytics Opt-Out Browser Add-On.

5. THIRD-PARTY LINKS AND TOOLS

The Site links to third-party AI tools and services. This Privacy Policy does not apply to those external sites. When you click through to any third-party tool, you are subject to that tool's own privacy policy. We encourage you to review the privacy practices of any tool you choose to use.

We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of any third-party site.

6. HOW WE SHARE YOUR INFORMATION

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information.

We may share limited information with:

• Analytics providers (e.g., Google Analytics) to process aggregate usage data on our behalf
• Hosting and infrastructure providers who operate the Site under confidentiality obligations
• Legal authorities if required by law, court order, or to protect our legal rights

Business Transfers: If Daily Tidbit LLC undergoes a merger, acquisition, or asset sale, your information may transfer to the acquiring entity. You will be notified of any such transfer.

7. DATA RETENTION

• Analytics data: Typically retained for 12–24 months in aggregate/anonymized form
• Email inquiries: Retained as needed to respond and for our records
• Server logs: Typically retained for 30–90 days

We may retain information longer if required for legal compliance or dispute resolution.

8. DATA SECURITY

We use industry-standard measures including HTTPS/SSL encryption, limited staff access, and secure hosting infrastructure. However, no system is 100% secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security and are not liable for breaches beyond our direct control.

If a breach occurs, we will notify affected users and authorities as required by applicable law.

Regardless of where you live, you may:

• Access: Request a copy of personal information we hold about you
