Privacy policy

This policy explains what information TrutiAI ("we", "us") collects when you visit trutiai.in, how we use it, and the choices you have. We keep data collection to the minimum needed to run the site.

Who is responsible

TrutiAI is operated by Akhil D, India. Contact: hello@trutiai.in.

What we collect and why

Reading the site

You can read every article without an account. Our hosting provider (Cloudflare) processes your IP address and request headers to deliver pages and to block attacks; Cloudflare keeps standard server logs for a limited time.

Analytics

We use Cloudflare Web Analytics, which does not use cookies and does not track you across sites. It gives us aggregate numbers such as page views and country. We may also use Google Analytics in future; if we do, this policy will be updated and consent will be requested where the law requires it.

Contact form

When you use the contact form we receive the name, email address and message you type, plus your IP address for abuse prevention. The message is delivered by our email provider (Resend) to our inbox and kept only as long as needed to reply and keep a record of the conversation.

Accounts for community writers and commenters

If you sign in with Google to write or comment, we receive your Google account's name, email address and profile picture, and we store them with the content you publish. We do not receive your Google password. You can delete your account at any time from your profile page; published articles can be deleted with it or kept under an anonymised byline, at your choice.

Content moderation

Community submissions are checked automatically for spam and harmful content before publication. The text and images you submit may be sent to automated moderation services (OpenAI's moderation API and Cloudflare Workers AI) for that purpose only. We keep a log of moderation decisions to review and improve them.

Bot protection

Forms are protected by Cloudflare Turnstile, which analyses browser signals to tell people from bots. Turnstile does not show tracking ads and does not build a profile of you.

Advertising and cookies

We intend to display advertising served by Google AdSense. The following disclosures apply once ads are shown:

• Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on a user's prior visits to this website or other websites.
• Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visit to this site and/or other sites on the Internet.
• You may opt out of personalised advertising by visitingGoogle Ads Settings. You can also opt out of some third-party vendors' use of cookies for personalised advertising atwww.aboutads.info.
• Other third-party ad networks, if any, may also use cookies; their privacy policies govern that use. We will list them here.

Visitors from the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom and Switzerland are shown a consent message before any personalised advertising cookies are set, and can change their choice at any time through the "Privacy settings" link in the footer (shown in those regions).

Cookies we set ourselves: a session cookie when you sign in, and a preference cookie if you choose settings such as a theme. We do not set cookies for visitors who only read.

Legal basis and retention

We process data to provide the site (contract and legitimate interest), to keep it secure (legitimate interest), and for advertising with your consent where required. Server and moderation logs are kept for up to 90 days, contact messages for up to 2 years, and account data until you delete your account.

Sharing

We do not sell personal data. We share it only with the service providers named above (Cloudflare, Google, Resend, OpenAI, Sentry for error reports), each bound by its own privacy terms, and when the law requires it.

Your rights

You can ask us what data we hold about you, ask for it to be corrected or deleted, or object to its processing. Email hello@trutiai.in. We answer within 30 days. Residents of India have rights under the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023; residents of the EEA and UK under the GDPR; residents of California under the CCPA.

Children

The site is not directed at children under 13 (under 16 in the EEA). We do not knowingly collect their data.

Changes

We will post any changes on this page and update the date at the top. Significant changes will be announced on the home page.
