AI Marketing Consensus Index / Publication standards

Your Privacy Choices

Optional tracking is off until you accept it. Global Privacy Control disables optional tracking on this browser.

AI Marketing Consensus Index provides privacy choices to visitors where required by applicable law. Depending on where you live and how you interact with our website, you may have rights concerning:

Access to personal information
Correction of personal information
Deletion of personal information
Obtaining a copy of certain personal information
Opting out of certain sales of personal information
Opting out of certain sharing of personal information
Opting out of targeted advertising
Limiting certain uses of sensitive personal information where applicable
Withdrawing consent for optional cookies
Appealing certain privacy-request decisions

Not every right applies to every visitor or in every jurisdiction.

Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information

Some privacy laws define the terms: sell and: share more broadly than those terms are commonly used. For example, certain uses of:

Advertising cookies
Tracking technologies
Affiliate technologies
Cross-context behavioral advertising technologies
Certain third-party analytics technologies

may qualify as a sale or sharing of personal information under applicable law even when personal information is not literally sold for money. Where applicable, you may request that we opt your browser, device, or identifiable personal information out of qualifying sale or sharing.

Cookie Preferences and Privacy Rights Are Related — But Not Identical

Changing your cookie preferences may affect technologies operating through your current browser. Submitting a privacy-rights request may involve a broader request concerning information associated with you. For example: Cookie Preferences may control whether optional analytics or advertising technologies operate in your browser. A: Deletion Request

may ask us to delete eligible personal information associated with you from systems we control. These are different actions.

Global Privacy Control

AI Marketing Consensus Index intends to recognize qualifying: Global Privacy Control (GPC) signals where required by applicable law. GPC is a browser- or device-based signal that can communicate a user's preference to opt out of certain sale or sharing of personal information.

Where legally applicable and technically detectable, a valid GPC signal should be treated as an opt-out request for the browser or device sending the signal.

What GPC May Not Do

A Global Privacy Control signal generally applies to the browser or device from which it is sent. It may not automatically identify:

Your email address
Other browsers
Other devices
Prior information submitted through forms
Information associated with a separate account

If you want to exercise broader privacy rights, you may also submit a privacy request.

Strictly Necessary Technologies

Some technologies are necessary for the website to function. These may support:

Where required, you may choose whether these technologies are enabled.

Analytics Technologies

Analytics technologies may help us understand:

Which research pages are visited
How visitors navigate the site
Which traffic sources send visitors

Where applicable law requires consent, analytics technologies should not operate until the required consent is provided.

Advertising measurement
Referral tracking

Campaign measurement
Targeted advertising where applicable

Depending on the technology and applicable law, some of these activities may qualify as:

Verification of Privacy Requests

We may need to verify your identity before completing certain requests. Verification helps prevent unauthorized people from:

Accessing your information
Deleting your information
Changing your information
Obtaining information about your interactions with us

Information Used for Verification

Depending on the request, we may ask you to confirm information reasonably related to records we maintain. We generally aim to collect no more information than reasonably necessary to verify the request.

We May Be Unable to Verify Some Requests

If we cannot reasonably verify that a request relates to you, we may be unable to provide certain information or complete certain actions. Where required, we will explain the reason.

Authorized Agents

Where permitted by applicable law, you may authorize another person or organization to submit a privacy request on your behalf. We may request reasonable evidence that:

The agent has authority to act for you
Your identity has been verified where required

Appeals

Certain jurisdictions provide the right to appeal a decision concerning a privacy request. If applicable, submit your appeal to: contact@aimarketingconsensusindex.com Subject: Privacy Appeal Please include enough information for us to identify:

Your original request
Our response
Why you believe the decision should be reconsidered

Non-Discrimination

Where required by law, AI Marketing Consensus Index will not unlawfully discriminate against you for exercising an applicable privacy right. For example, exercising a privacy right should not cause us to manipulate:

Public AI research
Company rankings
Recommendation counts
Editorial treatment

Privacy Requests From Companies and Business Representatives

Many visitors interact with AI Marketing Consensus Index in a professional capacity. Depending on applicable law, certain business-contact information may be subject to different privacy rules or exemptions. We will evaluate requests based on the applicable jurisdiction and context.

Research Data and Personal Privacy Requests

AI Marketing Consensus Index maintains research concerning:

Companies
Agencies
Software
AI platforms
Products
Services

Most of this information is business-related rather than personal. A privacy request does not necessarily require deletion of legitimate:

Company research
Public business information
AI recommendation records
Historical ranking data

where retention and publication are lawful.

Public Professional Information

Our research may occasionally reference publicly available professional information associated with individuals, such as:

Company founders
Executives
Authors
Industry professionals

Privacy rights concerning public professional information may vary by jurisdiction. We will review eligible requests according to applicable law.

Privacy Requests Are Different From Research Corrections

If you believe: “The site has incorrect personal information about me.” that may involve a privacy request. If you believe: “Your article says our software tracks six AI platforms, but it actually tracks eight.” that is generally a research correction. Use:

Corrections & Updates →

for research or company-information corrections.

Opting Out Does Not Affect Public Research Rankings

Exercising a privacy choice does not alter:

Whether an AI platform recommends a company
Recommendation counts
Recommendation coverage
Consensus Score
Category ranking
Historical research

Privacy choices and research rankings are separate systems.

Data We May Need to Retain

Even after a deletion or opt-out request, certain information may need to be retained where permitted or required for purposes including:

Documenting the request
Maintaining opt-out preferences
Security
Legal compliance
Fraud prevention
Dispute resolution
Research integrity

For example, we may need to retain a minimal record showing: this user opted out so that we do not inadvertently reverse the preference.

Retaining an Opt-Out Record

A privacy request may therefore result in us retaining a limited suppression or preference record. This does not mean the underlying marketing use continues. The record may instead be necessary to honor the request.

Browser and Device Limitations

Some privacy choices operate at the browser or device level. For example:

Cookie settings
GPC signals
Local-storage preferences

If you:

Change browsers
Clear cookies
Use another device
Use private browsing

you may need to set certain preferences again.

Account-Level Choices

If AI Marketing Consensus Index introduces user accounts or authenticated services in the future, privacy choices associated with an account may operate differently from anonymous browser preferences. This page will be updated where appropriate.

Email Marketing Choices

If you receive marketing email from us, you may unsubscribe using the mechanism provided in the communication. Unsubscribing from marketing email does not necessarily prevent:

Responses to requests you initiate
Transactional communications
Privacy-request communications
Legally required notices

Research and Service Inquiries

If you submit a request concerning:

AI market intelligence
AI visibility measurement
GEO strategy
AI search optimization
Data licensing
Research services

we may use the contact information you provide to respond to that inquiry. Where appropriate and disclosed, the inquiry may be handled by or shared with:

LLM Authority Index
CiteWorks Studio

depending on the nature of the request.

Do Not Sell or Share Does Not Mean “Never Disclose Information”

An opt-out of sale or sharing does not necessarily prohibit disclosures permitted for purposes such as:

Security
Fraud prevention
Service providers acting on our behalf
Legal compliance
Responding to your request
Business operations permitted under applicable law

The legal meaning of: sale and: sharing is more specific than the ordinary meaning of disclosing information.

Service Providers

We may continue to use service providers that process information on our behalf for purposes such as:

Hosting
Security
Email
Form processing
Analytics where permitted
Data storage
Website operations

when those relationships are permitted under applicable privacy law.

Changes to Your Preferences

You may revisit: Cookie Preferences at any time where the control is available. Recommended persistent footer link: Cookie Preferences Changing your selection should update optional technologies according to the available controls.

Consent Withdrawal

Where processing is based on your consent, you may withdraw consent where applicable. Withdrawal generally applies prospectively. It does not automatically make prior lawful processing invalid.

How Quickly Are Requests Processed?

We aim to respond within the time required by applicable law. Timing can vary depending on:

Jurisdiction
Request type
Verification
Complexity
Permitted extensions

We should not promise a universal response period that conflicts with the law applicable to a particular request.

Privacy Requests Are Free Where Required

We generally do not charge a fee to exercise legally protected privacy rights. Applicable law may permit a reasonable fee or other action for requests that are:

Manifestly unfounded
Excessive
Repetitive

where the relevant legal requirements are satisfied.
