Privacy Policy
Last updated: 2025-08-07
This Privacy Policy explains how this website (the “Site”) collects, uses, and shares information when you visit or interact with it. The Site presents information about “GPT-5 / GPT-5 thinking” and integrates third‑party services such as Google Analytics, Google Ads/AdSense, Search Console verification, and a consent manager. By using the Site, you agree to this Policy and our Terms of Service.
1) What We Collect
- Usage data: pages viewed, time and duration, referring URLs, general location, device/browser information, and interactions with page elements. Collected mainly via analytics tools (e.g., Google Analytics).
- Cookies and similar technologies: essential cookies for basic functionality (e.g., consent preferences), analytics cookies for understanding traffic and performance, and advertising cookies for ad delivery and personalization (via AdSense).
- Communications: if you contact us through channels referenced on the Helpor About pages, we may receive the information you provide.
- No account data: the Site does not provide sign‑up or account features and does not knowingly collect sensitive personal data via the Site interface.
2) Sources of Information
We obtain data directly from your device/browser when you access the Site and from third‑party providers that help us operate the Site (e.g., Google Analytics and Google Ads/AdSense).
3) How We Use Information
- Provide, operate, secure, and maintain the Site.
- Measure traffic and performance to improve content and user experience.
- Deliver and measure advertising (via Google Ads/AdSense) where permitted by your consent.
- Comply with legal obligations and enforce our Terms.
4) Legal Bases (where applicable)
- Consent for analytics and advertising cookies/processing.
- Legitimate interests for Site security, basic functionality, and aggregated insights.
- Compliance with legal obligations when required by law.
5) Retention
We retain information for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes described above, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law. Third‑party providers (e.g., Google) may apply their own retention schedules; please see their policies for details.
6) Sharing and Disclosure
- Service providers: we share data with analytics and advertising partners (e.g., Google Analytics and Google Ads/AdSense) to help run the Site. These providers process data in accordance with their terms and privacy policies.
- Legal and compliance: we may disclose information when required to comply with law or to protect rights and safety.
- Business changes: in the event of a reorganization, merger, or transfer, information may be part of the transferred assets.
7) Cookies and Preferences
When you first visit, you may see a consent banner managed by our consent manager. You can provide or withdraw consent for analytics and advertising categories. You can also manage cookies at the browser level (blocking, clearing, or limiting cookies), which may affect Site functionality.
- Google Analytics opt‑out: you can install Google’s opt‑out add‑on at tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.
- Ads personalization controls: see Google Ad Settings at adssettings.google.comor myadcenter.google.com.
- Additional industry opt‑outs: you may also visit optout.networkadvertising.orgor youradchoices.com (availability varies by region).
- Do Not Track: browsers may send a DNT signal. Given ecosystem differences, we currently do not respond to DNT signals and instead rely on consent choices and local settings.
8) Your Rights
Depending on your location, you may have rights such as access, correction, deletion, restriction, objection, portability, and withdrawal of consent. For California residents, you may have rights to know, delete, and opt out of “sale”/“sharing” of personal information. To exercise rights or make a request, please contact us via the Helpor About pages. We will verify and respond as required by applicable laws.
9) Children’s Privacy
The Site is not directed to children under the age where parental consent is required by local law (e.g., under 13 in the U.S.). We do not knowingly collect personal information from such children. If you believe a child provided information, please contact us so we can delete it.
10) Security
We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures to protect information. However, no method of transmission or storage is 100% secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security.
11) International Transfers
Information may be processed in countries other than your own (including the United States) where data protection laws may differ. Our providers implement safeguards (e.g., standard contractual clauses) as required by applicable law.
12) Changes to This Policy
We may update this Policy from time to time. Updates take effect upon posting. For material changes, we may display a prominent notice on the Site.
