Privacy Policy

Last updated: January 7, 2025

Heiyanquan ("we", "us", or "our") operates a one-stop platform that curates AI tools, aggregates AI industry news, and publishes editorial content such as blog posts and research explainers (collectively, the "Services"). This Privacy Policy describes how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard personal information when you interact with our Services on the web or through connected integrations. We encourage you to review this document carefully. If you have any questions, please contact us at support@heiyanquan.fun.

Information We Collect

We collect different types of information in order to deliver the Services, maintain security, meet legal obligations, and improve your experience.

Information You Provide

• Account and profile details: If you create an account, subscribe to newsletters, or submit content (e.g., tool reviews, blog comments), we collect your name, email address, profile image, and any other details you choose to share.
• Support requests: Information contained in inquiries, survey responses, or feedback forms, including attachments and contact metadata.
• Content contributions: Materials you voluntarily submit for publication, such as guest blog posts or AI tool listings.

Information Collected Automatically

• Usage data: Log files, device identifiers, browser type, language settings, pages visited, referring URLs, and timestamps collected through our servers and analytics partners (e.g., Google Analytics).
• Cookies and similar technologies: We use cookies, local storage, and pixel tags to remember your preferences, authenticate sessions, serve relevant content, and measure the effectiveness of features. You can manage cookies through your browser settings.
• AI tool interactions: When you run AI prompts or workflows through our integrated tools, we may collect prompt text, configuration options, output summaries, and associated metadata to provide the requested functionality and prevent abuse.

Information from Third Parties

• Social sign-in providers: If you link or authenticate via third-party platforms (such as Google or GitHub), we receive basic profile information consistent with your privacy settings on those services.
• Content partners and APIs: We may receive data from AI model providers, news feeds, or affiliate networks to enrich listings and monitor performance.

How We Use Information

• Delivering, personalising, and maintaining the Services.
• Processing transactions, subscriptions, and membership benefits, where applicable.
• Communicating with you about updates, newsletters, promotional offers, and product announcements. You can opt out of marketing emails at any time using the unsubscribe link.
• Monitoring usage trends and protecting the Services against fraud, security threats, and policy violations.
• Training, testing, and improving our AI-powered features in a manner consistent with user expectations and legal requirements.
• Complying with laws, regulations, legal processes, and governmental requests.

Legal Bases for Processing

If you are located in the European Economic Area (EEA), United Kingdom, or Switzerland, our legal bases for processing personal data include consent (for email marketing and optional analytics), performance of a contract (to deliver subscribed Services), compliance with legal obligations, and our legitimate interests in operating and improving the platform.

How We Share Information

• Service providers: Trusted vendors that assist with hosting, analytics, payment processing, customer support, email delivery (e.g., Google Analytics, Stripe, SendGrid), or AI infrastructure. These providers are bound by confidentiality obligations and process data only as instructed.
• AI and content partners: When you request output from a third-party AI model or access premium datasets, we may transmit your inputs to the relevant provider to deliver results. We require partners to handle data responsibly and in line with their posted policies.
• Legal disclosures: We may disclose information if we believe it is necessary to comply with applicable laws, enforce our Terms of Service, protect our rights or the rights of others, or respond to emergency situations.
• Business transfers: In the event of a merger, sale of assets, investment, or similar corporate transaction, personal information may be transferred as part of the transaction while maintaining the same privacy protections.

Data Retention

We retain personal information for as long as necessary to provide the Services, fulfil the purposes described in this policy, and comply with legal obligations. We apply anonymisation or deletion protocols when information is no longer needed.

Your Rights and Choices

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have the right to access, correct, update, or delete personal data; object to or restrict processing; and request data portability. You can exercise these rights by contacting us at support@heiyanquan.fun. We may ask you to verify your identity before responding.

Residents of California may have additional rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA). We do not sell personal information as defined by the CCPA. You may authorise an agent to make requests on your behalf, subject to verification requirements.

Children's Privacy

Our Services are intended for individuals aged 16 and older. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 16. If you believe a child has provided us with personal data, please contact us so we can take appropriate action.

International Data Transfers

We operate globally and may process information outside your home country, including in jurisdictions that may not offer the same data protection standards. When transferring personal data, we rely on legal mechanisms such as Standard Contractual Clauses to safeguard the information.

Security

We implement administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect personal information, including encryption in transit, role-based access controls, logging, and regular vulnerability reviews. However, no system is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Third-Party Links and Services

Our platform contains links to third-party websites, AI models, news sources, and affiliate offers that operate independently. We do not control the privacy practices of those services. We recommend reviewing their policies before sharing information.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in technology, legal requirements, or our business practices. When we make material updates, we will revise the "Last updated" date and provide notice through the Services or by email.
