privacy policy
last updated: November 20, 2025
introduction
the ai homepage ("we", "our", or "us") operates theaihomepage.com. this page informs you of our policies regarding the collection, use, and disclosure of personal information when you use our service.
information we collect
we collect minimal information to provide and improve our service:
- analytics data: if you consent to cookies, we use google analytics to collect anonymous usage data including pages visited, time spent on site, and general location (country/city level).
- no personal data: we do not collect names, email addresses, or any personally identifiable information through our website unless you contact us directly.
- local storage: we store cached news content (including reddit posts) in your browser's local storage to improve loading times. this data stays on your device and is never sent to our servers.
cookies
we use cookies only with your explicit consent:
- google analytics cookies: used to understand how visitors interact with our site (only if you accept cookies).
- preference cookies: used to remember your cookie consent choice and dark mode preference.
you can change your cookie preferences at any time by clearing your browser's local storage for this site.
third-party content & direct requests
our site aggregates and displays news content from third-party sources. here's how content is fetched:
⚠️ important: reddit data fetching
your browser fetches reddit content directly. when you visit our site, your browser automatically makes requests to reddit.com to fetch posts from ai-related subreddits.
this means:
- reddit can see your ip address and browser information
- reddit may set cookies or track your request
- reddit's privacy policy applies to these requests
- the requests come from your device, not our servers
why we do this: reddit blocks requests from hosting providers like vercel. by fetching from your browser, we ensure reddit posts load successfully for all users.
other sources (techcrunch, hacker news, startupper.gr): these are fetched by our servers, so your ip address is not directly exposed to them.
when you click on article links, you will be directed to external websites which have their own privacy policies. we are not responsible for the privacy practices of these third-party sites.
- • reddit: reddit.com/policies/privacy-policy
- • google analytics: policies.google.com/privacy
data retention
- server data: we do not store any personal data on our servers.
- local storage cache: reddit posts are cached in your browser's local storage for 10 minutes to improve performance. this data is automatically refreshed and can be cleared at any time by clearing your browser data.
- google analytics: analytics data is retained according to google's data retention policies (default 26 months).
your rights
depending on your location, you may have rights including:
- the right to access your data
- the right to request deletion of your data
- the right to object to data processing
- the right to withdraw consent
since we collect minimal anonymous data, most of these rights can be exercised by declining cookies or clearing your browser data.
children's privacy
our service is not directed to children under 13. we do not knowingly collect information from children under 13.
changes to this policy
we may update this privacy policy from time to time. changes will be posted on this page with an updated date.
