This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect when you visit https://techlioai.com/ (the "Site"), how we use it, who we share it with, and the choices you have. By using the Site, you agree to the collection and use of information as described in this policy.

01. Information We Collect

We collect information in the following ways:

a) Information You Provide Directly

• Newsletter sign-up: your email address, when you subscribe to our weekly digest

Our free tools (such as the AI Meta Tag Generator and Semester GPA Calculator) run directly in your browser. Unless stated otherwise on the tool's page, the data you enter into these tools (e.g., grades, credit hours, text for tag generation) is processed locally on your device and is not transmitted to or stored on our servers.

We do not sell your personal information to third parties.

03. Legal Basis for Processing (For Visitors in the EU/UK)

If you are located in the European Economic Area or United Kingdom, we process your personal data on the following legal bases: your consent (e.g., subscribing to our newsletter), our legitimate interest in operating and improving the Site, and compliance with legal obligations where applicable.

04. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

Like most websites, we use cookies and similar tracking technologies to operate the Site and understand how it is used. Cookies are small text files stored on your device. We may use:

• Essential cookies: needed for basic Site functionality (e.g., remembering your cookie consent choice)
• Analytics cookies: help us understand traffic and visitor behavior (e.g., Google Analytics)
• Preference cookies: remember settings such as theme or display preferences

You can control or disable cookies through your browser settings. Disabling cookies may affect how parts of the Site function.

05. Third-Party Services

We may use trusted third-party services to help operate the Site, including:

• Web hosting and content delivery providers
• Email/newsletter delivery services, to send our subscriber emails
• Analytics providers (such as Google Analytics), to understand Site traffic
• WordPress plugins and the Astra theme framework, which may set their own cookies for functionality

These third parties may collect information sent by your browser as part of a web page request, such as cookies or your IP address. Their use of your information is governed by their own privacy policies, which we encourage you to review.

07. Data Retention

We retain personal information only as long as necessary for the purposes described in this policy — for example, your email remains in our newsletter list until you unsubscribe, and contact form messages are retained only as long as needed to address your inquiry, after which they may be deleted.
