Who is responsible for your data
AInvasion (https://www.ainvasion.com) is published and edited by Tom Morgan, Founder & Editor. Tom Morgan is responsible for how personal data is handled on this site and for answering privacy requests.

What we collect and why
We collect only what we need in the situations below.
| Situation | Data | Why | Legal basis (GDPR) |
|---|---|---|---|
| You email us (questions, corrections, source information, partnership inquiries) | Your name, email address, and what you write | To read and answer your message. For corrections, to check the evidence and, if an error is confirmed, fix the article | Legitimate interests (running a publication that welcomes corrections) |
| You leave a comment | Name, email address, comment text, IP address, date and time | To display and moderate comments and to limit spam | Consent, given when you submit the comment |
| You subscribe to our newsletter | Email address | To send new articles. No sponsored placements | Consent, which you can withdraw at any time |
| You browse the site | IP address, browser and device type, pages viewed, referring page, time spent | To keep the site secure and understand which articles readers find useful | Legitimate interests for server logs and security. Consent where the law requires it for analytics cookies |
We do not sell, rent or trade your personal data. We do not use it for automated decisions that significantly affect you.
Our free tools
As stated on our AI Tools page, the AI Cost Calculator and the AI Model Matrix run in your browser, and what you enter into them is not sent to AInvasion’s servers.
Cookies and analytics
We use three kinds of cookies and similar technologies:
- Essential: needed for the site to work and stay secure, such as comment handling. They do not need your consent.
- Preference: remember choices you make on the site.
- Analytics: we use Google Analytics to count visits and see which articles are read.
You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings, though parts of the site may then work less well. You can also opt out of Google Analytics with Google’s browser add-on. For more on how Google handles this data, see Google’s privacy policy.
Who else handles your data
Some service providers process data on our behalf, only to provide their service:
- DreamHost, our web hosting provider, stores the site and its data.
- Google Analytics, for traffic statistics.
- A content delivery network, which serves images and files and helps protect the site.
- An email service provider, if you subscribe to our newsletter or write to us.
We share your data with others only if you ask us to, if the law requires it, to protect our rights or prevent fraud, or if the site is transferred to a new owner (we will tell you first).
Transfers outside the EU/EEA
DreamHost and Google may process data on servers outside the European Economic Area. Where they do, they rely on safeguards recognised by EU law, such as an adequacy decision or the European Commission’s standard contractual clauses. You can ask us about this at support@ainvasion.com.
How long we keep data
| Data | Retention |
|---|---|
| Emails and contact messages | Up to 24 months after the last exchange |
| Comments | Until deleted. You can ask us to remove yours |
| Newsletter email address | Until you unsubscribe |
| Server logs | Up to 12 months |
| Google Analytics data | According to the retention settings of our Google Analytics account and Google’s policies |
After that, we delete or anonymise the data.
Your rights
Under the GDPR, you can ask us to:
- access the personal data we hold about you;
- correct data that is wrong;
- erase your data;
- restrict how we use it;
- give you your data in a portable format;
- object to processing based on legitimate interests;
- withdraw consent at any time, without affecting what was done before.
To use any of these rights, email support@ainvasion.com. We will answer within one month. We may ask you to confirm your identity first.
If you believe we have handled your data unlawfully, you can complain to your national data protection authority (for example, the CNIL in France). If you live elsewhere, we honour comparable rights where the law gives them to you.
Security
We use HTTPS, keep our software updated, and limit who can access personal data. No system is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute protection. If a breach affects your data, we will notify you and the authorities where the law requires it.
Children
AInvasion is written for adults and is not directed at children under 15. We do not knowingly collect their personal data. If you believe a child has sent us personal information, email support@ainvasion.com and we will delete it.
Links to other sites
Our articles link to primary sources, research and company pages. We do not control those sites or their privacy practices, so check their policies when you leave AInvasion.
Changes to this policy
When we materially change this policy, we will update the date at the top and, where the change affects how we use your data, announce it on the home page.
