Tyto AI Consulting Website Privacy Policy

Effective Date: December 30, 2025

This Privacy Policy describes how Tyto AI Consulting ("we," "us," or "our") handles information collected from visitors and users of the tytoaiconsulting.com website (the "Site"). We are committed to protecting your privacy and being transparent about the data we collect and how we use it.

1. The Data We DO NOT Collect
We want to be perfectly clear about the data we do not collect:

No Personally Identifiable Information (PII) Storage: We do not knowingly collect, store, or process any information that can directly identify you, such as your full name, home address, phone number, or date of birth.

No Financial Information: We do not process payments on the Site and never collect or store credit card numbers, banking details, or other financial information.

No Account Creation: We do not require users to create an account, which eliminates the need to store account-related PII (like usernames and passwords).

2. The Data We DO Collect (Non-PII)
Because our site is solely for informational and contact purposes, the information we collect is strictly non-PII and is used for site function, security, and performance analysis.

A. Information Collected Automatically (Usage Data)
When you visit our Site, our web servers and analytics tools automatically record certain data. This Usage Data is anonymous and cannot be used to identify you personally. It may include:

Log Data: Your browser type, operating system, IP address (truncated or anonymized where possible), referral source, pages viewed, and the time and date of your visit.

Device Information: The type of device (e.g., desktop, mobile phone) used to access the Site.

Site Interaction: The amount of time spent on specific pages and the click path taken through the Site.

Purpose of Collection: To monitor the performance of our Site, understand which content is most popular, improve user experience, and detect and prevent technical issues.

B. Information You Voluntarily Provide (Contact Forms & Email)
If you choose to contact us via an online contact form or direct email link, you will voluntarily provide us with the following:

Email Address: Your email is necessary so we can respond to your inquiry.

Company Name and Inquiry Details: Information relevant to your AI consulting needs.

Purpose of Collection: To communicate with you, respond to your specific requests for information, and discuss potential consulting services. This data is handled only for the purpose of correspondence and is not stored in an internal PII database.

3. Use of Cookies and Tracking Technologies
We may use common technologies like cookies, pixels, and web beacons to collect the Usage Data mentioned above.

Cookies: Small text files placed on your device by a web server. We primarily use Essential Cookies (for site navigation and security) and Analytics Cookies (to measure website traffic).

Opt-Out: Most web browsers are set to accept cookies by default. You can usually choose to set your browser to remove or reject browser cookies. Be aware that this may affect the availability and functionality of the Site.

4. Sharing Your Information
We do not sell, rent, or trade your data. The minimal non-PII data we collect may be shared in the following limited circumstances:

Service Providers: We may use trusted third-party services (like web hosting or analytics providers, e.g., Google Analytics) to perform functions on our behalf. These parties are contractually obligated to keep your data confidential and use it only for the purposes specified by us.

Legal Requirements: We may disclose your information if required to do so by law or in the good faith belief that such action is necessary to comply with a legal obligation, protect and defend our rights or property, or ensure the safety of our users or the public.

5. Data Security
We take reasonable and industry-standard measures to protect the integrity and security of the data we collect. However, no electronic transmission over the internet or information storage technology can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. While we strive to protect your non-PII data, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.

6. International Transfers (GDPR/CCPA Compliance Note)
Our Site is hosted in the United States and is intended for a global audience. If you access the Site from outside the U.S., your non-PII data may be transferred to and processed in the U.S. By using the Site, you consent to the transfer of your information to the U.S.

Note for EU Users: Because we do not store PII, the direct applicability of GDPR is significantly limited. However, we strive to adhere to data minimization principles.

7. Children's Privacy
Our Site is not directed to individuals under the age of 16. We do not knowingly collect information from children under 16. If we become aware that we have inadvertently received non-PII data from a child under 16 without parental consent, we will promptly delete it.

8. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. We will post the revised version on this page and update the "Effective Date" at the top of the policy. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
