2. Data We Collect

Server Log Files

When you visit our website, our hosting provider automatically collects and stores information in server log files. This includes: IP address, browser type and version, operating system, referrer URL, date and time of request, and pages visited. This data cannot be attributed to specific individuals. Legal basis: Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interest in operating a secure website). Retention: 7 days.

Contact Form

When you use our contact form, we collect your name, email address, subject, and message. We use this data solely to respond to your inquiry. We do not share it with third parties. Legal basis: Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR. Retention: 1 year after resolution.

3. Cookies

We currently use technically necessary cookies and do not serve behavioural advertising. Account, security, translation, authentication or payment functions may involve additional providers and cookies as described below. If advertising or non-essential analytics are enabled later, the policy and consent mechanism must be updated before activation.

Because we use only strictly necessary cookies, no cookie consent banner is required under the ePrivacy Directive and current GDPR guidance. You may configure your browser to block cookies; Owner authentication will not function without the itno_owner_session cookie.

We may update this policy periodically. The current version is always at itnovati.com/privacy-policy/. Material changes will be indicated by the Last updated date at the top.

Additional processors and account services

ITnovati provides user accounts and paid or gated software tools. Depending on the feature used, account identifiers, email addresses, plan status, authentication events and transaction references may be processed. Google may process authentication data when Google Sign-In is selected. Paddle acts as merchant of record and payment provider for purchases; payment details are processed by Paddle rather than stored by ITnovati. OpenRouter and the selected model provider process the prompts submitted to the AI Content Brief feature; users must not submit personal, confidential or regulated data unless they are authorised to do so and the relevant processing terms have been assessed.

The legal basis depends on the feature: Article 6(1)(b) GDPR for requested account or contractual services, Article 6(1)(f) GDPR for security and abuse prevention, and consent where legally required for optional storage or third-party access. Provider privacy information: Google, Paddle, and OpenRouter.

AI-assisted editorial content

Some ITnovati articles may use generative AI during research, drafting or editing. Such assistance does not replace editorial responsibility. Material factual claims should be checked against cited sources before publication, and corrections are made when claims cannot be substantiated. AI assistance alone does not establish that an article is accurate or current.
