Introduction
This Privacy Policy explains what information is collected when you visit Lingxi AI Hub ("the Site", "we", "us"), how that information is used, who it is shared with, and the choices and rights you have. It applies to every page on lingxi-words.com.
By using the Site you agree to the practices described in this policy. If you do not agree, please stop using the Site. If you have any question about this policy, contact us at jinchengda66@163.com.
Who Is Responsible for This Site
Lingxi AI Hub is written, edited and maintained by Kelen, the site's founder and editor. For the purposes of data-protection law, Kelen is the data controller for this Site — the person who decides what information is collected here, why it is collected, and how it is used.
Kelen is an independent publisher and can be reached directly at jinchengda66@163.com. Every request made under this policy — access, correction, deletion, objection, or a complaint about how your information has been handled — goes to that address, and replies come from the person who runs the Site rather than from a support queue.
Information We Collect
The Site is a public directory. You do not need an account to browse it, and we do not ask you to submit personal information in order to read any page. The information that may be collected falls into three groups:
- Technical and usage data collected automatically — the pages you view, the page you arrived from, the date and time of your visit, your approximate location (derived from IP address at country or region level), browser type and version, operating system, device type, screen size and language settings.
- Cookie and identifier data — small text files and similar identifiers placed on your device by us and by third parties, as described in the sections below.
- Information you choose to send us — for example your email address and the contents of your message if you contact us directly. We only use it to reply to you.
We do not sell your personal information, and we do not rent or trade it.
Cookies, Web Beacons and Similar Technologies
Cookies are small text files stored on your browser or device. We and our third-party partners also use web beacons (also called clear GIFs or pixel tags), local storage, and other identifiers — including IP addresses and device identifiers — for the purposes described below.
The categories of cookies and identifiers used on this Site are:
- Strictly necessary — required for the Site to load and function securely (for example, security and load-balancing cookies set by our hosting and CDN provider).
- Preference and functional — remember choices such as your cookie consent decision or a dismissed notice.
- Analytics and performance — help us understand, in aggregate, which pages are visited and how quickly the Site loads, so we can fix problems and improve the directory.
- Advertising — set by us or by third-party advertising vendors (including Google) to serve, measure and personalise ads, to limit how often you see the same ad, and to detect invalid or fraudulent ad traffic.
Third parties, including Google, may place and read cookies on your browser, and may use web beacons, IP addresses and other identifiers to collect information as a result of ad serving on this website. Those third parties may use the information collected to provide advertisements about goods and services of interest to you, and may combine it with information collected across other websites and apps.
You can learn how Google uses information from sites or apps that use its services here: https://policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites.
Advertising and Third-Party Vendors
We use third-party advertising companies, including Google AdSense, to serve ads when you visit this website. Google and its partners use advertising cookies (including the Google Ads and DoubleClick cookies) to serve ads to you based on your visits to this Site and other sites on the Internet.
The specific vendor information you may need:
- Google's advertising technologies and the data Google processes are described at https://policies.google.com/technologies/ads.
- You can review and control personalised advertising in your Google account at https://adssettings.google.com.
- You can opt out of personalised advertising from many third-party vendors at aboutads.info/choices and, in Europe, at youronlinechoices.eu.
- Opting out of personalised advertising does not mean you will stop seeing ads — you will still see non-personalised advertising based on the content of the page and your general location.
- Where required by law, we ask for your consent before any non-essential advertising cookie or identifier is set, and you can change or withdraw that consent at any time through the consent notice shown on the Site.
We do not control the cookies or data practices of third-party advertisers, and their handling of your information is governed by their own privacy policies.
Analytics and Performance Measurement
The Site is served through Cloudflare Pages, and we use Cloudflare Web Analytics / Insights to measure traffic and performance. Cloudflare processes aggregated technical data — page views, referring page, approximate country, browser and device type, and Core Web Vitals timings — as our service provider and data processor. Cloudflare's handling of this data is described in the Cloudflare Privacy Policy at cloudflare.com/privacypolicy.
If we add other analytics or measurement tools in the future, this section will be updated to name them and describe the data they collect before they are enabled.
How We Use Information
- To operate, maintain, secure, and improve the Site
- To understand aggregate usage patterns so we can make the directory more useful
- To respond to messages and requests you send us
- To serve, measure, limit and protect the integrity of advertising delivered through third-party partners such as Google AdSense
- To comply with legal obligations and enforce our Terms of Service
Legal Bases for Processing (EEA, UK and Switzerland)
Where the EU/UK GDPR applies, we rely on the following legal bases: your consent (for advertising and analytics cookies and identifiers, which you may withdraw at any time); our legitimate interests (operating, securing and improving the Site, and preventing invalid ad traffic); performance of a contract (responding to a request you have made); and compliance with legal obligations.
Your Privacy Rights and Choices
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct, delete, restrict or object to the processing of your personal information, to data portability, to withdraw consent, and to opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information for targeted advertising (for example under the CCPA/CPRA in California). We do not sell personal information in the conventional sense.
Practical ways to exercise control:
- Cookies — block or delete cookies at any time in your browser settings. Blocking strictly necessary cookies may break parts of the Site.
- Personalised ads — use the Google Ads Settings and aboutads.info links listed above.
- Consent — change or withdraw your consent choice through the consent notice on the Site, where one is shown for your region.
- Direct requests — email us and we will respond within the timeframe required by applicable law.
Data Retention
Aggregated analytics and performance data are retained for as long as needed to understand Site usage and fix problems. Emails you send us are kept only for as long as needed to handle your request and to keep a record of the correspondence. Cookies and identifiers set by third-party advertising vendors expire according to those vendors' own retention schedules.
Data Security
We take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect the information processed through the Site, and the Site is served over a secure HTTPS connection. However, no method of transmission or storage over the Internet is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
International Transfers
We and our service providers may process information in countries other than the one you live in, including the United States. Where required, transfers are covered by appropriate safeguards such as standard contractual clauses offered by our providers.
Third-Party Links
The Site links to external tools and websites operated by third parties. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of those sites. We encourage you to review the privacy policy of any external service you visit.
Children's Privacy
The Site is a general-audience directory and is not directed to children under the age of 13 (or the minimum age in your jurisdiction). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, contact us and we will take steps to remove it.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy to reflect changes in our practices, our advertising partners, or applicable law. When we do, we will revise the "Last updated" date shown at the top of this page. Continued use of the Site after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
