Privacy Policy
1. Scope and Overview
AITOP (“AITOP · AI热报”, accessible at aitop.news and airebao.com) provides curated AI industry intelligence, daily and weekly briefings, company and model directories, and policy tracking. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect when you browse our website, register an account, subscribe to email briefings, or interact with advertisements, and how you can exercise control over your data.
2. Information We Collect
Anonymous Browsing & Local Preferences: You can read public news, daily digests, and directories without registering. Reading appearance, theme accent, layout density, and language choices are stored locally in your browser (`localStorage` and functional cookies).
Registered Accounts & Subscriptions: When you create an account, sign in via OAuth, or subscribe to our newsletter or personal briefing, we record your email address, verification status, followed topics/companies/models, bookmarks, and delivery logs so we can deliver the services you requested and prevent duplicate emails.
First-Party Traffic & Operational Logs: We record basic request metadata (page path, referrer, browser type, and coarse region) to maintain service reliability, measure content quality, and prevent automated abuse. We do not sell personal data to third parties.
3. Cookies and Google AdSense Advertising Disclosure
We use third-party advertising companies, including Google AdSense, to serve ads when you visit our website:
1) Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies (such as the Google advertising / DoubleClick cookie) to serve ads based on a user's prior visits to this website or other websites on the internet.
2) Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to our users based on their visit to our sites and/or other sites on the Internet.
3) Users may opt out of personalized advertising at any time by visiting Google Ads Settings or by visiting www.aboutads.info/choices. Eligible signed-in users and active members can also manage on-site display preferences under Reading Preferences.
4. Email Delivery, Payments, and Third-Party Processors
Email Briefings: We only send daily, weekly, policy, or personal briefings to users who explicitly opt in. Every email includes a one-click `List-Unsubscribe` header and unsubscribe link. Hard bounces or spam complaints automatically pause or unsubscribe the address.
Payments: Paid membership transactions are processed through authorized payment providers (such as Stripe). AITOP stores order status and subscription validity periods but never stores full credit card numbers or CVV codes on our servers.
External Source Links: Our stories link to original sources (official blogs, research papers, and news outlets). Those external websites are governed by their own privacy policies.
5. Your Rights and Contact
You can view, modify, or remove your followed topics, email subscriptions, and reading states at any time from My Briefing, My Tracking, or Preferences. For data deletion requests, copyright inquiries, or privacy questions, please contact us via Feedback or visit our About and Terms of Service pages.
