Thank you for visiting https://www.aihitdata.com ("we", "our", "us"). This Privacy Policy explains how we manage personal data that is stored and published on our website — including data collected from public sources — and how we process limited information from users who access and interact with our site (e.g., through cookies or analytics).

We are committed to handling personal data with transparency and in compliance with applicable data protection laws, including the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and the Data Protection Act 2018.

• Professional networking sites (as permitted)
• Public directories and databases

We strictly respect the Robots Exclusion Protocol and only collect data from sources where such collection is not disallowed.

• To organize and present publicly available professional and organizational information
• To make such data accessible for lawful uses including research, networking, public interest, and transparency
• To maintain the accuracy and reliability of our data index

We do not:

• Sell personal data
• Use personal data for marketing or advertising

5. Legal Basis for Processing

Under the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR), we rely on Legitimate Interests (Article 6(1)(f)) as the legal basis for processing.

Our legitimate interest is to make publicly available information more accessible in a structured and searchable format for professional, academic, and public purposes. We have conducted a balancing test to ensure our interests do not override the rights and freedoms of data subjects.

Where required, we will cooperate fully with the UK Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) and individuals exercising their data rights.

6. Your Rights Under UK GDPR

You have the following rights with respect to your personal data:

• Right of access – Know what data we hold about you
• Right to rectification – Request correction of inaccurate information
• Right to erasure ("right to be forgotten") – Request deletion of your data
• Right to restrict processing – Ask us to pause processing
• Right to object – Object to our use of your data under legitimate interest

7. Opt-Out and Data Removal

If you would like your personal data to be removed from our website, we recommend the following steps:

• Modify your website’s robots.txt file to disallow crawling of the pages containing your personal data. We respect and enforce robots.txt directives as defined by IETF RFC 9309. This helps prevent not only our service but also other search engines from indexing or storing your data.
• If robots.txt cannot be modified or the data originates from a third-party source, you may submit a removal request by contacting us at compliance@aihitdata.com. Please include sufficient detail (e.g., a specific URL or record reference) so we can identify and process your request efficiently.

We will process all valid requests within 30 days, as required by UK GDPR, and notify you upon completion.

8. Data Publication and Accessibility

The data we collect is made freely and publicly accessible on our website. This means that any visitor to our site—from anywhere in the world—can view the information without signing a contract, creating an account, or accepting additional terms.

This publication model is aligned with our mission to enhance access to publicly available professional information for transparency, research, and discovery.

We do not "share" personal data in the conventional sense (e.g., selling, licensing, or transferring to third parties for their own use). However, because the data is publicly available, it may be accessed or indexed by third parties globally, including outside the UK and European Economic Area (EEA).

If we engage vendors or service providers to help us maintain the platform (such as hosting or security providers), we ensure they process personal data only under our instructions and with appropriate safeguards in place, including standard contractual clauses where necessary.

Our current subprocessors include:

• Google Cloud Platform (GCP) – for hosting infrastructure
• Google Analytics – for aggregated, anonymized web analytics
• Google AdSense – for displaying ads based on general site content (no user profiling)
• Microsoft365 and SendGrid – for communication of users.

9. Data Retention

We retain data only for as long as it remains publicly available at the original source and is relevant for the purposes of transparency and research.

We regularly review and update or remove data that becomes outdated, inaccurate, or is subject to removal requests.

10. Data Security

We apply appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect personal data against unauthorized access, alteration, or destruction, including:

• Access control and role-based permissions
• Data encryption and secure communication channels
• Regular monitoring and audit logging

11. Cookies and Website Analytics

Our website uses cookies for essential site functionality and basic analytics. These cookies do not contain any personally identifiable information (PII) and are not used for behavioral targeting.

We use:

• Session cookies to maintain website performance
• Google Analytics for anonymized traffic analysis
• Google AdSense to display context-based ads

You can control cookie preferences through your browser settings.

12. Children’s Data

Our website and services are not intended for individuals under the age of 16. We do not knowingly collect or process data about children.

13. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in legal requirements or our practices. The “Effective Date” at the top indicates the most recent revision.
