Service providers (hosting, analytics, anti-spam, email) may process data on our behalf.
Cookies and Similar Technologies
We use cookies, pixel tags, and local storage to: (a) keep the Site secure and working (e.g., store your vote so you can’t vote twice), (b) understand performance, and (c) support affiliate attribution.
You can adjust your choices at any time via [Cookie Preferences].
Browser-level controls: you can also block or delete cookies through your browser settings. Blocking some cookies may impact site functionality.
How We Use Your Information
Operate, maintain, and secure the Site and its features (tutorial pages, voting widget, forms, AI chat).
Respond to your messages and connect you with a trusted local pro when you request it.
Measure and improve content performance and user experience.
Detect and prevent fraud, abuse, and security incidents.
Comply with legal obligations and enforce our Terms.
If we ever use your data for additional purposes, we’ll disclose that and, where required, ask for your consent.
Legal Bases (EEA/UK only)
Where GDPR/UK GDPR applies, we process Personal Data on these bases:
Contract (Article 6(1)(b)): to respond to your inquiries and provide requested services.
Legitimate interests (Article 6(1)(f)): to keep the Site secure, improve content, and perform internal analytics.
Consent (Article 6(1)(a)): for non-essential cookies/trackers and any optional marketing.
Legal obligation (Article 6(1)(c)).
How We Share Information
We do not sell Personal Data in the traditional sense. We may share limited data as follows:
Service providers: hosting, security/anti-spam, analytics, customer support, email, and error monitoring.
Affiliate/attribution partners: e.g., Amazon Associates for link tracking/commission reporting.
YouTube/Google: when you play embedded videos (see next section).
Professional referrals (if you request): if you ask to be connected with a local pro, we will share your contact and project details with the referral partner(s) or the selected professional(s) solely to fulfill your request.
Legal & safety: to comply with law, respond to lawful requests, or protect rights and safety.
Business transfers: in connection with a merger, sale, or similar transaction.
Cross-context behavioral advertising (US): If we enable advertising/retargeting cookies, that may be considered a “share” under certain US state laws. You can opt out via [Your Privacy Choices].
Third-Party Services (Important)
YouTube/Google: Our Site uses YouTube embeds. When you watch a video, YouTube (Google) may collect usage data per its policies. Learn more at https://policies.google.com/privacy and https://policies.google.com/technologies/cookies.
Amazon Associates: We participate in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program. Amazon may set cookies when you click an affiliate link. See Amazon’s privacy notices for details.
We don’t control third-party practices. Please review their privacy policies.
Data Retention
We keep Personal Data only as long as necessary for the purposes described above, including to meet legal, accounting, or reporting requirements. Typical examples:
Lead form submissions: [e.g., 24 months] after last activity or until you ask us to delete.
Server logs and security records: [e.g., 90 days] (unless needed longer to investigate an incident).
Cookie data: per the cookie’s lifespan (see [Cookie Preferences] for details).
We may anonymize data so it can no longer identify you and retain it for research/insights.
Your Choices & Rights
Cookie controls
Manage your cookie settings via [Cookie Preferences] and through your browser. Some features require essential cookies.
“Do Not Sell or Share” (US)
If advertising/retargeting cookies are enabled, opt out via [Your Privacy Choices]. Where legally required and technically feasible, we treat a valid Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal as an opt-out request.
California/US State rights
Residents of certain US states (e.g., CA, CO, CT, VA, UT) may have rights to know/access, correct, delete, opt out of sale/share/targeted advertising, and appeal decisions. Exercise these via [Your Privacy Choices] or info@diy4uai.com. We will verify your request and respond within the required timeframe. We do not discriminate for exercising your rights.

You may request access, correction, deletion, restriction, portability, or objection to processing based on legitimate interests. Where we rely on consent, you can withdraw it at any time. Contact info@diy4uai.com. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with your local supervisory authority.
Security
We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures to protect Personal Data. No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure. If you believe your data has been compromised, contact us immediately at info@diy4uai.com.
