Queries sent to AI services (Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, Perplexity) are transient. They are used to test whether your business is cited by AI search engines. These queries contain your business name and URL only. They are not stored by us beyond the audit cache period (24 to 72 hours).
AI vendor training exclusions. All AI queries are made through API endpoints, not consumer interfaces. Under current API terms: Anthropic does not use API inputs or outputs to train models. OpenAI does not use API data for training unless you opt in. Google Gemini API data is not used for model improvement per their API terms. We review these vendor policies quarterly and will update this disclosure if any vendor changes their terms.

We implement the following measures to protect your data:
We use anonymized, aggregate audit data to create educational content. Examples: "The average small business scores 42 out of 100 on AI visibility" or "73% of sites tested have no llms.txt file." Anonymization means we change a minimum of three identifying details (industry, location, business size, revenue range) so that no published data can be traced to a specific business. We never publish your business name, URL, score, or any identifiable details without your explicit written consent.
Our services are designed for business owners and professionals. We do not knowingly collect information from anyone under the age of 18. If you believe we have collected information from a minor, contact us immediately and we will delete it.
