Privacy Policy

1. Who We Are

InfoSecured.ai is an independent AI assurance research and proof-of-work platform. The site publishes articles, templates, control maps, prototype workflows, and educational resources related to AI governance, AI risk, audit evidence, human oversight, vendor AI risk, and regulated AI systems.

In this Policy, “InfoSecured.ai,” “we,” “us,” and “our” refer to the operator of this website. “You” and “visitor” refer to anyone who accesses or uses this website.

2. Information We Collect

We collect information in three main ways: information you provide directly, information collected automatically through website technologies, and information received from service providers that help us operate the site.

Information You Provide

• Name, email address, and message content when you contact us.
• Email address and subscription preferences when you join a newsletter or mailing list.
• Information submitted through forms, template download requests, feedback fields, or future resource-access forms.
• Professional details you voluntarily provide, such as role, organization type, topic interest, or reason for contacting us.

Information Collected Automatically

• IP address, browser type, device type, operating system, and approximate location derived from IP address.
• Pages viewed, links clicked, referring URLs, time on page, and general site interaction data.
• Cookie identifiers, analytics identifiers, language preferences, and consent-preference records.
• Security logs used to protect the website from spam, abuse, unauthorized access, or malicious activity.

Information From Service Providers

We may receive limited information from providers that support website hosting, analytics, newsletter delivery, cookie consent management, security, spam prevention, embedded content, translation features, or downloadable resources.

3. How We Use Information

We use collected information for the following purposes:

• Operate, maintain, secure, and improve InfoSecured.ai.
• Respond to contact requests, questions, or feedback.
• Send newsletters, updates, research notes, or template-related communications when you subscribe.

• Measure website performance, page traffic, and content engagement.
• Manage cookie preferences and consent records.
• Protect against spam, fraud, abuse, unauthorized access, and security threats.
• Maintain records necessary for site administration, compliance, dispute resolution, and legal obligations.

4. Cookies, Analytics, and Similar Technologies

InfoSecured.ai may use cookies, pixels, local storage, log files, analytics scripts, and similar technologies to operate the site, remember preferences, analyze traffic, improve content, and secure the website.

Types of Cookies We May Use

• Essential cookies: required for core site functions, security, consent management, and basic operation.
• Analytics cookies: help us understand traffic, page performance, and visitor interaction patterns.
• Preference cookies: remember choices such as cookie preferences, language settings, or display preferences.
• Embedded-content cookies: may be set by third-party content, tools, videos, social features, forms, or external resources if enabled.

We may use tools such as Google Analytics, WordPress plugins, cookie consent tools, translation tools, newsletter platforms, hosting logs, and security services. These providers may process limited information according to their own privacy terms.

You can manage cookies through the cookie banner or preference tool where available. You can also adjust browser settings to block or delete cookies, although some site features may not function properly without essential cookies.

5. Newsletter and Email Communications

If you subscribe to a newsletter or email update, we may use your email address to send research notes, implementation briefs, template updates, GridLock GRC updates, or related InfoSecured.ai content.

Email tools may collect delivery, open, click, bounce, unsubscribe, and engagement data. You may unsubscribe at any time using the link in the email or by contacting us.

6. Templates, Downloads, and Research Materials

InfoSecured.ai may offer templates, checklists, registers, control maps, questionnaires, research notes, or prototype artifacts. Access to these materials may require submitting an email address or completing a form.

Download activity may be used to understand interest in specific topics such as AI evidence registers, vendor AI risk, human oversight, LLM governance, model-risk support, AML AI oversight, and audit readiness.

7. Legal Bases for Processing

Where privacy laws require a legal basis for processing, we may rely on one or more of the following:

• Consent: for optional cookies, newsletter subscriptions, or certain communications.
• Legitimate interests: to operate, secure, improve, and measure the website.
• Contractual necessity: when information is needed to provide a requested resource or respond to a request.
• Legal obligation: when processing is required to comply with applicable laws, records, or lawful requests.

8. How We Share Information

We do not sell personal information for money. We may share limited information with service providers or partners that help operate, secure, analyze, or improve the website.

Categories of Service Providers

• Website hosting and infrastructure providers.
• Analytics and performance measurement providers.
• Cookie consent and preference management providers.
• Email newsletter or communication providers.
• Security, anti-spam, backup, and maintenance providers.
• Form, download, translation, embedded-content, or workflow providers.

We may also disclose information if required to comply with law, respond to lawful requests, protect site security, investigate misuse, enforce terms, or protect rights, safety, and property.

9. Third-Party Links and Embedded Content

InfoSecured.ai may link to third-party websites, academic sources, regulatory materials, standards bodies, research tools, social platforms, or external services. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of third-party sites.

Embedded content from third-party sites may behave as if you visited those sites directly. Those third parties may collect information, use cookies, or track interaction with embedded content according to their own policies.

10. Retention

We retain personal information only as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Policy, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law.

• Contact form records may be retained for communication history and administration.
• Newsletter records may be retained while you remain subscribed and for a reasonable period afterward to maintain suppression or unsubscribe records.
• Analytics data may be retained according to analytics-tool settings.
• Security logs may be retained as needed to protect the site and investigate abuse.
• Cookie consent records may be retained to document preferences and consent history.

11. Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures designed to protect information against unauthorized access, loss, misuse, alteration, or disclosure. No website, transmission method, or storage system can be guaranteed to be fully secure.

12. International Visitors and Data Transfers

InfoSecured.ai may be accessed from outside the United States. Information may be processed in the United States or other countries where our service providers operate. Those countries may have data protection laws different from the laws in your location.

Where required, we rely on appropriate legal mechanisms or service-provider commitments for international data processing and transfers.

13. Your Privacy Rights

Depending on your location, you may have rights regarding your personal information. These may include the right to:

• Request access to personal information we hold about you.
• Request correction of inaccurate information.
• Request deletion of personal information.
• Object to or restrict certain processing.
• Request portability of certain information.
• Withdraw consent where processing is based on consent.
• Opt out of certain analytics, marketing, targeted advertising, sale, or sharing activities where applicable.
• File a complaint with a relevant data protection authority where available.

To exercise privacy rights, contact us using the information in the Contact section below. We may need to verify your request before responding.

14. California Notice at Collection

This section provides additional information for California residents. The categories below describe the personal information we may collect, the purposes for collection, and general retention criteria.

We do not knowingly collect sensitive personal information for the purpose of inferring characteristics. We do not sell personal information for money. If we enable advertising, affiliate tracking, or cross-context behavioral advertising in the future, we will update this Policy and provide applicable opt-out mechanisms where required.

15. Children’s Privacy

InfoSecured.ai is intended for professional, academic, research, and educational audiences. It is 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 InfoSecured.ai, contact us and we will take reasonable steps to delete the information where required.

16. Do Not Track and Preference Signals

Some browsers or devices may send “Do Not Track” or similar signals. Because industry standards for these signals vary, the site may not respond to all such signals. Where legally required and technically available, we will use available tools to honor applicable opt-out or consent-preference mechanisms.

17. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the website, tools, analytics, newsletter systems, templates, legal requirements, or operational practices. The “Last Updated” date will show when the Policy was most recently revised.
