Privacy Notice
[Company], [address] and [privacy@email] with your real details, and have it reviewed by qualified counsel, especially where it concerns EU personal data.
1. Who we are
This notice explains how [Company] (“we”, “us”), the maker of the AIM Transparency WordPress plugin and this website, handles personal data. You can reach us at [privacy@email], [address]. For EU data-protection purposes we are the data controller for the data described below.
2. The plugin collects nothing by default
Installed on your WordPress site, AIM Transparency does not phone home, track visitors, set visitor cookies, or send any data off your site. The image flags and metadata it creates stay on your own server. Data only leaves your site if you explicitly opt in to one of the features below.
3. Pro waitlist (opt-in)
What we collect
- The email address you submit, on the landing page or inside the plugin.
Why, and our legal basis
To email you once when the Pro version launches, and occasional related updates. Legal basis: your consent (GDPR Art. 6(1)(a)).
How to withdraw
Every email has an unsubscribe link, or email us. Unsubscribing removes you from the list.
4. AI Transparency Directory (opt-in)
What we collect
Only if you tick the consent box and submit your listing in the plugin:
- Your site address and site name (intended to be listed publicly).
- The number of images you have labeled as AI, and your plugin and WordPress version.
- Optionally, a contact email (used only to reach you about your listing; never published).
- A record of your consent (version and timestamp).
Why, and our legal basis
To maintain a public directory of sites that disclose AI-generated content, and to keep your listing accurate. Legal basis: your consent. The directory is self-attested — listing is not a certification or endorsement of compliance.
How to withdraw
Use “Remove my listing” in the plugin, which deletes your entry, or email us. You can withdraw at any time.
5. Purchases (when Pro is available)
If you buy a paid version, checkout and billing are handled by our merchant of record, Lemon Squeezy, which processes your payment and contact details under its own privacy policy. We receive order and license information needed to deliver and support your purchase.
6. Who we share data with
We do not sell your data. We use service providers (processors) only as needed:
- Email delivery (e.g. our newsletter provider) — to store the waitlist and send launch emails.
- Lemon Squeezy — payments and licensing, where applicable.
- Hosting for the directory service.
Some providers are based outside the EU/EEA; where they are, transfers rely on appropriate safeguards (e.g. Standard Contractual Clauses or an adequacy/DPF mechanism).
7. Retention
Waitlist emails: until you unsubscribe or we close the list. Directory entries: until you remove your listing. Purchase records: as required for tax and accounting.
8. Your rights
Subject to applicable law (including the GDPR), you may request access, correction, deletion, or a copy of your data, object to or restrict processing, and withdraw consent at any time without affecting prior processing. You may also lodge a complaint with your data-protection authority. To exercise any right, contact [privacy@email].
9. Cookies
The plugin sets no cookies for your site’s visitors. This marketing website uses only what is strictly necessary to function; if we add analytics later, we will update this notice and seek consent where required.
10. Changes
We may update this notice; we will revise the “last updated” date and, for material changes affecting consented data, seek renewed consent.
