AISE Pulse ("we," "us," "our") operates the website aisepulse.com. This page describes how we collect, use, and protect information when you visit our site or subscribe to our newsletter.

Information We Collect

Information You Provide

When you subscribe to the AISE Pulse Brief newsletter, we collect your email address. That's it. We don't ask for your name, phone number, employer, or any other personal information at signup.

Information Collected Automatically

When you visit aisepulse.com, we may collect standard web analytics data through Google Analytics 4, including:

• Pages visited and time spent on each page
• Referring website or search engine
• Browser type and operating system
• Approximate geographic location (city/region level, not precise)
• Device type (desktop, mobile, tablet)

This data is aggregated and used to understand how visitors use the site. We do not use this data to identify individual visitors.

How We Use Your Information

We use collected information for these purposes:

• Newsletter delivery: Your email address is used exclusively to send the weekly AISE Pulse Brief newsletter. We do not sell, rent, or share your email address with third parties.
• Site improvement: Analytics data helps us understand which content is most useful and where to focus our efforts.
• Communication: If you email us directly, we use your email to respond to your message.

Data Storage and Security

Newsletter subscriber emails are stored in a Cloudflare D1 database. Cloudflare maintains SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001 certifications. We do not store passwords or payment information because we don't require accounts or payments.

The site is hosted on GitHub Pages with Cloudflare CDN. No user data beyond email addresses is stored on our infrastructure.

Third-Party Services

We use the following third-party services:

• Cloudflare: CDN, DNS, and newsletter subscriber database hosting
• Google Analytics 4: Website traffic analytics (when enabled)
• GitHub Pages: Static site hosting
• Google Fonts: Typography (Lexend, Inter, JetBrains Mono)

Each of these services has their own privacy policies governing how they handle data.

Cookies

AISE Pulse uses minimal cookies:

• Analytics cookies: Google Analytics 4 sets cookies to distinguish unique visitors and sessions. These cookies do not contain personal information.
• Local storage: We use browser local storage to remember if you've dismissed the newsletter popup (30-day cooldown). This data stays on your device and is never sent to our servers.

Your Rights

You have the right to:

• Unsubscribe: Every newsletter email includes an unsubscribe link. Click it and your email is removed from our mailing list immediately.
• Request deletion: Email [email protected] to request complete deletion of your data from our systems.
• Access your data: Email us to request a copy of any personal data we hold about you (which is limited to your email address if you're a subscriber).

Children's Privacy

AISE Pulse is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us and we will delete it.
