2. Information We Collect
We collect information to provide and improve our Services. The types of information we collect include:
- Account Information: When you register for an account, we collect your name, email address, and password. If you make a purchase, our third-party payment processor will collect your payment information.
- Content You Submit: We collect the URLs and any other website information you submit for analysis through our Services, including domains for AI visibility audits and ad revenue benchmarking.
- Usage Data: We automatically collect information about your interactions with our Services, such as your IP address, browser type, device information, pages visited, and the dates and times of your visits.

3. How We Use Your Information
We use the information we collect for the following purposes:
- To provide, maintain, and improve our Services, including running AI visibility audits, generating ad revenue benchmarks, and providing independent intelligence reports.
- To process transactions and send you related information, including confirmations and invoices.
- To send transactional messages, such as system notifications, security alerts, and support responses.
- To monitor and analyze trends, usage, and activities in connection with our Services.
- To comply with legal obligations and protect our legal rights.

4. Cookies and Tracking Technologies
We use cookies and similar tracking technologies to operate and administer our website and Services. These are used for essential functions like session management and to gather analytics about how our site is used. You can control the use of cookies at the individual browser level.

We do not sell or rent your personal information to third parties. We may share your information in the following limited circumstances:
