Overview
XAI Today (“we,” “us,” or “our”) publishes this website (the “Site”) for readers in Canada. This Privacy Policy describes how we handle information when you visit the Site, and applies to everyone who uses it. By using the Site, you agree to the practices described below.
Information We Collect
We keep data collection to a minimum. When you browse the Site, our hosting provider and any analytics or advertising tools we use may automatically log standard technical information, such as your approximate location (city/region level, derived from IP address), browser type, device type, referring page, and pages viewed. This information is aggregated and used to understand how the Site performs—it is not used to identify you personally.
How Our Guide Unlock Works
Your email address is not sent to our servers or stored anywhere. The free guide on this Site is unlocked using a form that runs entirely in your browser. When you submit the form, the entered email address is used only to trigger the on-page unlock (via a local browser flag/cookie) and is never transmitted to us, saved in a database, added to a mailing list, or shared with any third party. We do not email you as a result of submitting this form, because we never receive the address in the first place.
Because no email address is collected server-side, there is no list for us to retain, sell, or disclose from this form. If you clear your browser cookies/storage, you may need to re-enter an email address to unlock the guide again—this is purely a local browser state, not an account.
Cookies & Similar Technologies
The Site uses a small amount of browser storage (cookies and/or local storage) strictly to remember that you unlocked the guide, and may use additional cookies for basic site functionality. These do not contain your email address or other personal information. You can block or delete cookies at any time in your browser settings; doing so may re-lock the guide until you unlock it again.
Analytics & Advertising
We may use standard web analytics and advertising technologies (such as cookies, pixels, and similar tools from providers like Google or Meta) to measure how visitors reach and use the Site and to understand the performance of any advertising that brought you here. These providers may set their own cookies and process technical data under their own privacy policies. We do not control third-party cookies and encourage you to review those providers’ policies directly.
Third-Party Links
The Site and its guide content may reference or link to third-party websites, tools, and platforms (for example, AI assistants or freelance/marketplace platforms) that we do not own or control. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those third parties. Once you leave the Site, their own privacy policies apply.
Data Retention
Because we do not collect or store submitted email addresses, there is no personal data from the unlock form for us to retain or delete. Any aggregate, non-identifying analytics data is retained only as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described above, consistent with our analytics providers’ standard retention practices.
Your Privacy Rights
As a Canadian publication, we aim to handle information consistent with the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA). Where we do process any personal information, you may have the right to request access to, correction of, or deletion of that information. Because this Site does not store submitted emails or maintain reader accounts, there is typically no personal data on file to act on. If you believe we hold personal information about you and wish to make a request, contact us using the details below. If you are not satisfied with our response, you may contact the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada.
Children’s Privacy
The Site is intended for adults and is not directed at children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under the age of 18.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or for legal reasons. The “Updated” date at the top of this page reflects the most recent revision. We encourage you to review this page periodically.
