Privacy Policy and Data Protection at Hypere AI

Welcome to Hypere AI.

At Hypere AI (website: https://hypereai.com), your data security and privacy are our highest priorities. We are fully committed to providing a safe, transparent, and secure digital environment for your interactions. This Privacy Policy document explains in simple, clear language what information we collect from you and how we protect it.

1. Comments and User Interactions

When you leave a comment on the Hypere AI website, we process the following data to maintain the quality of discussions and prevent spam:

• Form Data: The information you voluntarily enter into the comment form.
• Technical Data: Your IP address and browser User Agent string. This helps us detect and block malicious bots.
• Gravatar Profile: An anonymized string (hash) created from your email address may be provided to the Gravatar service to check if you are using it, allowing your profile picture to be displayed next to your comment. (You can view the Gravatar Privacy Policy here).

2. Media and File Security

If you upload images or media files to hypereai.com (such as a profile avatar or a support ticket attachment), please note the following:

• Security Warning: We highly recommend that you ensure your images do not contain embedded location data (EXIF GPS) before uploading.
• Why? Visitors to the website could potentially download these images and extract exact location data from them. We take your personal security seriously and advise taking this preventive measure.

3. Cookies: A Smart User Experience

At Hypere AI, we do not use cookies for spying or unauthorized tracking. Instead, we use them as smart tools to enhance your User Experience (UX) and make your browsing seamless:

• Commenting Cookies: When leaving a comment, you may opt-in to saving your name, email address, and website in cookies. These are for your convenience so that you do not have to fill in your details again when you leave another comment (these expire after 1 year).
• Login Cookies:
  • Upon logging into your user dashboard, we set up several cookies to save your login information (valid for 2 days) and your screen display choices (valid for 1 year).
  • If you select “Remember Me,” your login will persist for two weeks. Once you log out of your account, the login cookies will be immediately removed.
• Editor Cookies: If you edit or publish an article, an additional temporary cookie will be saved in your browser. This cookie includes no personal data and simply indicates the post ID of the article you just edited (expires after 1 day).

4. Embedded Content from Other Websites

Articles published on Hypere AI may include embedded content (e.g., YouTube videos, Twitter posts, or interactive maps).

• How it Works: Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other website directly.
• Important Privacy Note: These third-party websites may collect data about you, use their own cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content—especially if you have an account and are logged into their platform.

5. Who We Share Your Data With

We are strictly committed to keeping your data confidential. We do not sell your personal information to any third parties. Data sharing is limited to the following necessary cases:

• Password Resets: For security and identity verification purposes, if you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email.
• Automated Security Services: Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service to protect the website and its users.

6. How Long We Retain Your Data

• Comments: If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This allows us to recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.
• Registered Users: For users that register on our website, we store the personal information they provide in their user profile as long as the account remains active.
• Access and Control: All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (with the exception that they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit this information to provide technical support.

7. Your Rights Over Your Data

If you have an account on Hypere AI or have left comments, you hold the following legal rights regarding your personal data:

• Data Export (Right to Access): You can request to receive an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided to us.
• Right to be Forgotten (Total Erasure): You can request that we erase any personal data we hold about you from our servers. (Please note: This does not include any data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes).
