Privacy Policy

Last updated and effective as of May 16, 2026

This Privacy Policy describes how AI Inflation Expectations (“AIIE,” “we,” “our,” or “us”) collects, uses, maintains, and discloses information through our website and related application features located at https://aiinflationexpectations.org/ and related subdomains, including pages used for authentication, research, analysis, and economic reporting.

By visiting or using AIIE, you agree to the practices described in this Privacy Policy. This Privacy Policy applies only to information collected through AIIE and does not apply to information collected in other contexts unless explicitly stated.

1. Information We Collect

We may collect information that users provide directly, information collected automatically when users interact with the site, and limited information obtained through third-party authentication services when authorized by the user.

• Account and authentication information. If users sign in using Google or another authentication provider, we may receive basic account information such as name, email address, profile image, user identifier, and other information explicitly approved by the user during the consent process.
• Communications with us. We may collect information when users contact us by email or other communication channels, including name, email address, message content, and related correspondence.
• Usage and technical information. We may automatically collect technical information such as IP address, browser type, device type, operating system, referring pages, pages visited, timestamps, and general usage activity.
• Research and application inputs. If users provide prompts, queries, uploaded data, configuration choices, or other inputs for research or reporting features, we may process that information to provide the requested functionality.
• Cookies and similar technologies. We may use cookies, logs, analytics tools, or similar technologies to operate the website, understand usage, improve performance, and maintain security.

2. Google User Data

If AIIE accesses Google user data, it will do so only after the user grants permission through the Google consent screen. The specific data accessed depends on the permissions requested and approved by the user.

AIIE uses Google user data only to provide user-facing features that the user has requested or authorized. We do not sell Google user data. We do not use Google user data for advertising. We do not transfer Google user data to third parties except as necessary to provide or improve the application, comply with applicable law, protect security, or as otherwise permitted by the user.

3. How We Use Information

We may use collected information for the following purposes:

• To operate, maintain, and improve AIIE;
• To authenticate users and manage access to application features;
• To provide AI-generated economic expectations, charts, reports, and related outputs;
• To respond to user questions, requests, or support inquiries;
• To analyze usage, improve user experience, and enhance site performance;
• To protect against unauthorized access, fraud, misuse, or security incidents;
• To comply with legal, regulatory, institutional, or administrative obligations;
• To conduct academic, research, teaching, or analytical activities using aggregated or de-identified information where appropriate.

4. How We Share Information

We do not sell personal information. We may share information only in limited circumstances, including:

• Service providers. We may use third-party providers for hosting, authentication, analytics, data storage, email, security, or application infrastructure.
• Legal and safety purposes. We may disclose information if we believe it is necessary to comply with law, legal process, institutional requirements, or to protect the rights, safety, property, or security of AIIE, users, or others.
• Research and reporting. We may share aggregated, anonymized, or de-identified outputs, statistics, charts, or research results that do not reasonably identify individual users.
• With user consent. We may share information when the user explicitly authorizes us to do so.

5. Data Security

We use reasonable technical, administrative, and organizational safeguards to protect information from unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. However, no website, application, or electronic transmission is completely secure. Users provide information at their own risk.

6. Data Retention

We retain information only as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law, research obligations, institutional requirements, security needs, or legitimate operational purposes.

7. User Choices and Rights

Users may contact us to request access, correction, deletion, or limitation of certain personal information, subject to applicable law and any technical, legal, security, or research-related limitations.

Users may also manage permissions granted through their Google account settings. Revoking access may limit or disable some application features.

8. Third-Party Links and Services

AIIE may contain links to third-party websites, data providers, APIs, cloud platforms, analytics services, or research resources. We are not responsible for the privacy practices, content, policies, or security of third-party services. Users should review the privacy policies of those third parties before using them.

9. Children’s Privacy

AIIE is intended for research, educational, and professional use and is not directed to children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.

10. International Users

AIIE may be operated from or use service providers located in Canada, the United States, or other countries. By using AIIE, users acknowledge that their information may be transferred to and processed in jurisdictions with different data protection laws than their country of residence.

11. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we update it, we will revise the “Last updated” date above. Continued use of AIIE after changes are posted means that users accept the updated Privacy Policy.
