1. Overview
This Privacy Policy explains how AI Stack Atlas collects, uses, discloses, and protects information about visitors, users, customers, and other individuals who interact with our website, content, products, services, communications, and related online features. It is intended to help you understand what personal information we process, why we process it, and the choices and rights you may have under applicable United States privacy laws.
For purposes of this Privacy Policy, “personal information” means information that identifies, relates to, describes, is reasonably capable of being associated with, or could reasonably be linked with a particular individual or household. Personal information does not include information that has been deidentified or aggregated in a manner that cannot reasonably be used to identify you.
This Privacy Policy is effective as of 2026-05-22. By using our services or providing information to us, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree with our practices, you should not use the services.

Depending on the context, AI Stack Atlas may act as a business, controller, or service provider under applicable privacy laws.

If we process information on behalf of another organization, that organization’s privacy policy and instructions may apply.
3. Personal Information We Collect
We collect personal information in several ways, including information you provide directly, information collected automatically when you use our services, and information received from third-party sources.
Information you provide to us may include your name, email address, organization, job title, account credentials, preferences, messages, feedback, survey responses, support requests, newsletter sign-up details, and information submitted through forms or other interactive features.
Commercial and transactional information may include records of services requested, subscriptions, billing-related details, payment status, purchase history, and communications about your account or transactions. Payment information may be processed by third-party payment providers, and we generally do not store full payment card numbers.

Communications information may include the content of emails or messages you send to us, records of support interactions, and your communication preferences.
Information from third parties may include information from analytics providers, business partners, publicly available sources, social media platforms, data enrichment providers, and service providers that help us operate, market, and improve our services.
4. How We Use Personal Information
We use personal information for legitimate business and commercial purposes, including to provide, maintain, secure, and improve our services. These purposes may include operating our website, managing accounts, responding to inquiries, providing customer support, sending requested content, processing transactions, personalizing user experiences, and communicating with you about updates.
We may use personal information to analyze how users interact with our services, measure performance, develop new features, conduct research, troubleshoot technical issues, prevent fraud and abuse, enforce our terms, and protect the rights, safety, and security of AI Stack Atlas, our users, and others.
We may also use personal information for marketing and promotional purposes, such as sending newsletters, updates, event invitations, product announcements, or information about services that may be relevant to you. Where required by law, we will obtain your consent before sending certain marketing communications. You may opt out of marketing emails by following the unsubscribe instructions in those emails or contacting us at hello@aistackatlas.com.
We may use aggregated, anonymized, or deidentified information for any lawful purpose, including analytics, benchmarking, research, and publication of trends or insights, provided the information cannot reasonably identify you.
5. Sources of Personal Information
We collect personal information directly from you when you submit forms, create an account, subscribe to communications, request information, contact us, participate in surveys, or otherwise interact with our services.
We collect information automatically through cookies, pixels, log files, analytics tools, and similar technologies when you access or use our website or online features. These technologies help us understand user behavior, remember preferences, improve performance, and support security.
We may receive personal information from third parties, including service providers, advertising and analytics partners, business partners, publicly available databases, professional networks, and social media services. For example, if you interact with our content on a third-party platform, we may receive information permitted by that platform and your settings.
6. Cookies, Analytics, and Similar Technologies
We and our service providers may use cookies, web beacons, pixels, SDKs, local storage, and similar technologies to collect information about your interactions with our services. Cookies are small files stored on your browser or device that help websites function, remember settings, and gather analytics.
We may use the following categories of cookies and similar technologies:
- Strictly necessary cookies: These are required for core website functionality, security, account access, and user requests.
- Performance and analytics cookies: These help us measure traffic, understand how visitors use our services, diagnose issues, and improve content and features.
- Functional cookies: These remember choices such as preferences, saved settings, or form information.
- Advertising or targeting cookies: These may be used to deliver, measure, or improve advertising and marketing, including by understanding interests and interactions over time.
You can often manage cookies through your browser settings. If you disable cookies, some features may not work as intended. Some browsers offer “Do Not Track” signals; because there is not yet a uniform industry standard for responding to such signals, our response may vary. Where legally required, we honor applicable opt-out preference signals in accordance with relevant law.
7. How We Disclose Personal Information
We may disclose personal information to service providers and contractors that perform services for us, such as hosting, cloud infrastructure, analytics, email delivery, customer support, payment processing, security, marketing operations, data management, and professional services. These parties are authorized to use personal information only as necessary to provide services to us and as permitted by applicable law.
We may disclose personal information to business partners where necessary to provide requested services, coordinate offerings, or support integrations, events, or co-sponsored activities. If a partner independently collects or uses your information, its own privacy policy may apply.
We may disclose personal information if required or permitted by law, legal process, court order, subpoena, government request, or regulatory inquiry. We may also disclose information when we believe it is necessary to protect our rights, investigate fraud, enforce agreements, address security issues, or protect the safety of users or others.
In connection with a merger, acquisition, financing, reorganization, bankruptcy, sale of assets, or similar business transaction, personal information may be disclosed or transferred as part of the transaction, subject to appropriate safeguards where required.
We do not knowingly sell personal information in the traditional sense of exchanging it for money. However, certain disclosures involving advertising or analytics technologies may be considered a “sale,” “sharing,” or “targeted advertising” under some state privacy laws. Where applicable, you may have the right to opt out as described below.
8. Retention of Personal Information
We retain personal information for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, including to provide services, maintain business records, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, enforce agreements, prevent fraud, and support legitimate business needs.
The specific retention period depends on the type of information, the context in which it was collected, the sensitivity of the information, legal and contractual requirements, and operational needs. For example, account information may be retained while your account is active and for a reasonable period afterward, while certain transaction records may be retained longer to satisfy accounting, tax, or compliance obligations.
When personal information is no longer needed, we may delete it, deidentify it, aggregate it, or securely store it until deletion is practicable. Deidentified or aggregated information may be retained and used for lawful purposes.
9. Your Privacy Rights and Choices
Depending on your state of residence and applicable law, you may have rights regarding your personal information. These may include the right to request access to personal information we maintain about you, the right to request correction of inaccurate personal information, the right to request deletion of personal information, and the right to obtain a copy of certain personal information in a portable format.
You may also have the right to opt out of certain processing, including the sale of personal information, sharing of personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising, targeted advertising, or certain profiling activities that produce legal or similarly significant effects. We do not use sensitive personal information for purposes that require a right to limit under California law unless we provide notice and an opportunity to exercise that right.
To submit a privacy request, contact us at hello@aistackatlas.com. We may need to verify your identity before fulfilling your request. Verification may require us to ask for information reasonably necessary to confirm that you are the person about whom we collected personal information or an authorized agent acting on that person’s behalf.
We will not discriminate against you for exercising privacy rights. This means we will not deny services, charge different prices, or provide a different level of service solely because you exercised rights under applicable privacy law, except where permitted by law, such as where a difference is reasonably related to the value of the information provided.
10. California and Other State Privacy Notices
If you are a California resident, the California Consumer Privacy Act, as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act, may provide specific rights regarding personal information. This section also reflects concepts found in other U.S. state privacy laws, such as laws in Colorado, Connecticut, Virginia, Utah, and other states that may apply depending on your residency and our legal obligations.
In the preceding twelve months, we may have collected the following categories of personal information: identifiers such as name, email address, IP address, and account information; commercial information such as transaction records and subscription details; internet or electronic network activity information such as browsing activity and interactions with our services; geolocation information such as approximate location derived from IP address; professional or employment-related information if you provide it; and inferences drawn from usage, preferences, or interactions.
We collect these categories from you, your devices, service providers, business partners, analytics tools, and publicly available sources. We use and disclose these categories for the business and commercial purposes described in this Privacy Policy, including providing services, analytics, security, marketing, communications, and legal compliance.
We may disclose these categories of personal information to service providers, contractors, analytics providers, advertising partners, professional advisors, business partners, and legal or governmental authorities when appropriate. Some uses of advertising or analytics technologies may be considered “sharing” or “sale” under California law or similar state laws, even if no money is exchanged. You may contact us at hello@aistackatlas.com to request information about opt-out options available to you.
If you use an authorized agent to submit a request, we may require proof that you authorized the agent to act on your behalf and may also require you to verify your identity directly with us, unless otherwise prohibited by law.
11. Security
We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures designed to protect personal information against unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, and destruction. These measures may include access controls, encryption in appropriate contexts, monitoring, vendor management, and internal policies.
No method of transmission or storage is completely secure. We cannot guarantee that personal information will be protected against every possible risk. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of any account credentials and for promptly notifying us if you believe your account or information has been compromised.
12. Children, International Users, and Changes to This Policy
Our services are not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided personal information to us, please contact us at hello@aistackatlas.com, and we will take appropriate steps to delete the information if required by law.
AI Stack Atlas is based in the United States. If you access our services from outside the United States, you understand that your information may be processed and stored in the United States and other countries where privacy laws may differ from those in your jurisdiction.
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, technologies, legal requirements, or services. When we make changes, we will update the effective date and may provide additional notice where required by law. Your continued use of the services after an updated Privacy Policy becomes effective means you acknowledge the updated terms.
