Privacy Policy
Last updated: 16 October 2026
1. What we collect
When you create an account we store your name, email address, and a securely hashed password. When you buy a product we store a record of the purchase (product, amount, and the payment transaction reference).
2. Payments
Card details are collected and processed by our payment providers, each acting as Merchant of Record: Gumroad for store products and Dodo Payments for the AI visibility report. We never see or store your card number, and no payment ever touches this site. Each provider's own privacy policy applies to its checkout, and the name, email address and billing details you give them are held by them, not by us.
3. The AI visibility audit
You can run an audit without an account and without giving us an email address. For each audit we keep:
- the website address you entered, and the report about it;
- whether the report has been paid for, and the payment provider's reference for that payment;
- a one-way, salted hash of your IP address — never the address itself — used only to apply the limits on how many free audits one connection can run;
- a broad label for where the visit came from (for example “YouTube” or “Google”) and any campaign tag in the link, never the address of the page you came from.
All of this is deleted after 7 days, along with the report. We also keep a daily count of audits started, completed and paid for, by those broad labels, with nothing in it that identifies anyone.
To measure page speed, the address you entered is sent to Google's PageSpeed Insights service. When you pay, Dodo Payments tells us your email address so we can send you the link to your report. We use it for that one email and do not store it.
4. The newsletter
If you tick the box to receive our newsletter, we store your email address and a record of your consent — the wording you agreed to, when, and the country you were in — so that we can show that you agreed. Every email carries a link that unsubscribes you in one step, with no login.
5. How we use your data
To deliver purchased products to your account library, to provide support, to send transactional emails (receipts, password resets, your report link), to send the newsletter to people who asked for it, and to comply with legal obligations. We do not sell your personal data.
6. Counting what is read
We count which pages are read and which buttons are pressed — for example the share buttons and the links to our community — using a random identifier stored in your browser. If you are signed in, some of these records are also linked to your account.
Our community runs on Skool, a separate service. When you follow a link to it, Skool's own privacy policy applies to anything you give them.
7. Storage
Account, purchase, audit and newsletter data is stored with Supabase (managed Postgres). Purchased files are stored in private storage and served only to verified buyers through time-limited signed links.
8. Your rights
You can request a copy or deletion of your personal data at any time by emailing support@theaiuniversity.online. Deleting your account removes access to purchased products.
9. Cookies
We use only essential cookies required for authentication and session management. No third-party advertising trackers.
