Privacy Policy

AI Saved Me, LLC ("AI Saved Me," "we," "our," or "us") operates this website and related services (the "Site"). This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have.

We built AI Saved Me as an editorial storytelling platform. Respecting privacy and trust is central to how we operate.

1) Information We Collect

We collect information in two primary ways:

A. Story submission information

When you submit a story, we may collect:

• first and last name
• email address
• attribution preference (for example, anonymous, first name, or full name)
• optional role, profession, or location
• story content and related details you provide
• photos or images you upload
• any other information you voluntarily include

Submission contact information is collected primarily for editorial purposes, including reviewing submissions, verifying authenticity, and communicating with you about your submission.

Your email address is not publicly displayed.

B. Newsletter and updates

If you subscribe to updates, we may collect:

• email address
• optional first name
• optional email preferences, such as frequency

C. Automatically collected information

We may collect limited technical information when you use the Site, such as:

• browser type
• device type
• pages visited
• general usage patterns

We use this information to understand how the Site is used and to improve it over time.

We do not use this information to identify individual users.

We aim to keep tracking minimal and privacy-conscious.

2) How We Use Information

We use information to:

• operate, maintain, and improve the Site
• review, edit, and publish stories as part of our editorial process
• communicate with contributors about submissions, including verification and follow-up
• send newsletters, updates, and other communications related to the Site and our work
• prevent abuse, spam, fraud, or misuse
• generate and display story previews and social sharing previews

If your story is published, we may display the content and images you provided and may generate preview images, such as link previews used on social platforms, that incorporate elements of your story.

3) How We Share Information

We do not sell personal information or email addresses.

We may share information with trusted service providers that help us operate the Site, such as:

• hosting and infrastructure providers
• analytics tools
• email delivery services

These providers may process information on our behalf only as needed to provide their services.

We may also share content that you choose to make public through publication, consistent with your attribution preference.

4) Cookies and similar technologies

We may use cookies or similar technologies to operate the Site and understand usage.

At this time, we use minimal or privacy-conscious tracking where possible.

You can control cookies through your browser settings.

5) Email communications and choices

If you subscribe to updates, you may receive emails about:

• newly published stories
• platform updates or announcements
• related initiatives or content

You can unsubscribe from non-essential emails at any time using the unsubscribe link included in emails.

We may still send limited transactional or editorial emails related to:

• your submission
• verification or follow-up
• administrative or operational matters

These are not marketing emails and are necessary to operate the Site.

6) Data retention

We retain information as long as reasonably necessary to:

• maintain editorial integrity
• operate and improve the Site
• comply with legal obligations
• prevent abuse or misuse

If you request removal of your information, we will evaluate requests in good faith, balancing privacy, editorial integrity, and public interest.

We will review requests thoughtfully and in good faith.
