Privacy policy
What we collect on citemine.ai, why, and the choices you have.
Last updated
CiteMine runs citemine.ai. This page explains what personal data the site collects and what we do with it.
What we collect
When you join the waitlist
Your email address and, if you add it, your business website. We use them to tell you when CiteMine opens and to understand who signed up. We don't sell them or share them for marketing. We keep them until you ask us to delete them.
When you request an audit, a plan or a call
Your email address, your business website if you add it, and what you asked for. We use them to reply, send your payment link and deliver the service. We keep them until you ask us to delete them.
When you use the free check
The website you enter and your email address, plus the check result. We use them to show and email you the result once. We fetch only public pages of the site you enter.
Analytics
We use Google Analytics, loaded through Google Tag Manager, to see how the site is used: which pages are visited, roughly from where, and on what kind of device.
- If you accept, Google Analytics sets cookies (
_gaand_ga_*) so it can recognise repeat visits. - If you reject, or haven't chosen yet, no analytics cookies are set. Google still receives basic signals that a page was viewed. Like any web request, these include your IP address and browser details.
Advertising features are always off.
Technical data
Like any website, our hosting provider receives your IP address and browser details with each request, to serve the page and keep the site secure. We use your IP address briefly to stop spam signups and don't store it.
Cookies and storage
- Analytics cookies: only if you accept, as above.
- Your cookie choice: saved in your browser's local storage so we don't ask again. It never leaves your device.
You can change your choice anytime with the Cookie settings link at the bottom of every page. Rejecting deletes the analytics cookies already set.
Who processes your data
Google, for analytics, and the providers that host the site and its database. They may process data outside your country, under their own data protection terms.
Your rights
You can ask to see, correct or delete the data we hold about you, or object to how we use it. You can withdraw analytics consent at any time in Cookie settings. You can also complain to your local data protection authority.
Changes
If we change this policy, we'll update it here and change the date at the top.
