Privacy Policy

1. Commitment to Data Minimization

bestaiseo.courses operates as an open-access empirical research directory. We collect the absolute minimum data required to deliver static web assets reliably. We do not require account registration, do not maintain paid paywalls, and do not collect payment card information.

2. Zero Affiliate Tracking and Zero Commercial Pixels

Commercial course affiliate roundups embed third-party tracking pixels, device fingerprinting scripts, and cross-site affiliate cookies to track user purchases. bestaiseo.courses deploys zero affiliate links, zero tracking pixels, and zero third-party behavioral advertising scripts. Outbound links to course websites are clean, direct URLs.

3. Server Logging and Technical Data

When you request a page on bestaiseo.courses, our hosting infrastructure records standard HTTP server logs. These logs record your IP address, browser user-agent string, referring URL, and the timestamp of your request. We process this technical telemetry strictly to monitor server uptime, mitigate distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks, and maintain network security. Server log files are purged automatically on a rolling 30-day retention schedule.

4. Local Browser Storage

We use your browser's native localStorage API solely to store your client-side interface preference (whether you view courses in Cards View or Spreadsheet Table View). This data never leaves your device and transmits zero identifiers to our servers.

5. Your Data Rights Under GDPR and CCPA

Under the European Union General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), you retain the right to access, rectify, or request deletion of any personal data. Because we maintain zero user databases and zero identifiable profiles, we store no personal records linked to your identity. For privacy inquiries, contact the research desk at privacy@bestaiseo.courses.

6. Open Dataset Licensing

Our downloadable datasets (/data/courses.json and /data/courses.csv) contain strictly public business information: published course titles, institutional providers, listed instructors, public pricing, and curriculum attributes. The dataset contains zero private consumer records.
