Privacy Policy

Last updated: August 2026

AI Stream Online ("we", "us", "the site") respects your privacy. This policy explains what data we collect, why, and what choices you have.

1. Information we collect

Analytics. If you accept cookies via the banner shown on your first visit, we use Google Analytics (GA4) to understand aggregate traffic: pages viewed, approximate location (country/region level, IP addresses are anonymized), device and browser type, and referral source. We do not use this data to identify you personally.

Cookies. We use one essential cookie/local storage entry to remember your cookie consent choice. If you accept analytics cookies, Google Analytics may set its own cookies as described in Google's cookie policy.

Newsletter. If you subscribe to our newsletter, we collect your email address solely to send you updates. You can unsubscribe at any time via the link in every email.

Embedded content. Some pages embed YouTube videos. Playing an embedded video may set cookies from Google/YouTube, governed by Google's Privacy Policy.

Good/Bad News voting. When you rate a story, we record an aggregate count (how many people voted Good vs. Bad for that story) — not your individual vote or any identity linked to you. Your IP address is used automatically, for up to 60 seconds, solely to limit how many votes can be submitted in a short period (abuse prevention); it is never stored alongside the vote count itself or kept beyond that window.

2. How we use information

We use the information above only to operate and improve the site (understand what content is useful, fix problems, and, if you subscribe, send newsletter updates). We do not sell your personal data.

3. Third-party services

The site is hosted on Vercel and its source is on GitHub. News content is pulled automatically from public RSS feeds (TechCrunch, VentureBeat, AI News); stock quotes from Yahoo Finance. These third parties may process technical request data (such as IP address) under their own privacy policies.

4. Affiliate and outbound links

Some links to third-party AI tools or platforms may be affiliate links, meaning we may earn a commission if you sign up or purchase through them, at no extra cost to you. We only link to tools we believe are genuinely relevant to our readers.

5. Your rights

Depending on where you live (for example, under the GDPR if you're in the EU/EEA), you may have the right to access, correct, delete, or object to the processing of your personal data, and to withdraw analytics consent at any time by clearing your browser's local storage for this site. To exercise these rights, contact us using the details below.

6. Children's privacy

This site is not directed at children under 16, and we do not knowingly collect personal data from children.

7. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. Material changes will be reflected by updating the "Last updated" date above.
