1. Introduction

AI Search Strategies ("we," "us," or "our") respects your privacy and is committed to protecting your personal data. This Privacy Policy outlines how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you visit our website, use our "AI Visibility Self-Assessment and Scorecard" tool, or engage with our services.

We comply with the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA) and other applicable Canadian privacy laws. By accessing our services, you consent to the data practices described in this policy.

2. Information We Collect

We collect information that you voluntarily provide to us and information automatically collected when you use our site.

  • Personal Information: Name, email address, phone number, and business website URL.
  • Client Service Data (AISO Audits): If you engage us for an AISO Audit or consulting services, we collect, analyze, and store data regarding your business's digital presence, search visibility, and AI-generated brand mentions.
  • Payment Information: If you purchase services, our third-party processor (Stripe) collects your credit card details. We do not store full credit card numbers on our servers.
  • Usage Data: IP address, browser type, operating system, and pages visited.

Important Distinction: The AI Visibility Self-Assessment and Scorecard offered on our website is a self-directed tool. We do not collect, view, or store the specific answers or scores you generate within that tool unless you voluntarily choose to share those results with us.

3. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect to:

  • Provide you with access to the Visibility Self-Assessment and Scorecard hosted on Google Cloud/Drive.
  • Deliver your AISO Audit results, strategic recommendations, and consulting reports if you have engaged us for these services.
  • Process transactions via Stripe.
  • Send you marketing communications, newsletters, and updates via HubSpot (you may opt out at any time).
  • Analyze website traffic and user behavior to improve our AI Search Optimization (AISO) services.

4. Sharing of Information

We do not sell your personal data. We share information only with third-party service providers who assist us in operating our business:

  • CRM & Marketing: HubSpot (for email automation and contact management).
  • Storage: Google Cloud (for hosting files and assessment tools).
  • Payments: Stripe (for secure payment processing).
  • Analytics: Google Analytics, Meta (Facebook) Pixel, and LinkedIn Insights Tag (for ad targeting and traffic analysis).

These parties are authorized to use your personal information only as necessary to provide these services to us.

We use cookies and similar tracking technologies (pixels, tags) to track activity on our service.

  • Analytics Cookies: Help us understand how visitors interact with the site (Google Analytics).
  • Marketing Cookies: Used by Meta and LinkedIn to show you relevant ads on social media platforms based on your visits to our site.

You can instruct your browser to refuse all cookies, but some portions of our service may not function properly without them.

6. Data Storage and Transfer

Your information may be transferred to—and maintained on—computers located outside of your province or country (e.g., servers in the United States used by HubSpot or Google). By submitting your information, you agree to this transfer.

7. Your Rights
