Who We Are and Our Privacy Commitment

This document is the official NewIAFutures Privacy Policy. At NewIAFutures, founded by AI specialist Mouha AIT YABOUH, we are a digital publication and resource dedicated to providing the AI insights you need to understand the future of AI and the latest in AI technology. Mouha AIT YABOUH’s core mission for NewIAFutures is to make complex topics accessible through transparent, expert analysis for our audience of business leaders, developers, and curious minds, while always keeping the human lifestyle in focus.

We believe that just as transparency is crucial for the ethical development of artificial intelligence, it is equally vital in how we manage your personal information. Our commitment to these values is a foundational part of the NewIAFutures Privacy Policy. Throughout this document, we will detail how we collect, use, and protect your data with the same level of clarity and integrity that we apply to our content. This NewIAFutures Privacy Policy is your guide to understanding our practices and your rights as a valued reader of our service.

Comments

As detailed in this NewIAFutures Privacy Policy, we value the engagement and discourse that comments provide on our articles about the future of AI. To maintain a high-quality and spam-free discussion forum, we collect specific information when visitors leave comments on the site.

When you leave a comment on NewIAFutures, we collect the following data:

  • Data Shown in the Form: This includes the name you provide, your email address, your website (if you choose to share it), and the content of your comment itself.
  • Technical Data for Security: We automatically collect your IP address and your browser’s user agent string. This information is crucial for spam detection and helps us maintain the integrity of the discussions on our AI technology articles.

Anonymized Profile Picture (Gravatar)

To enhance the user experience, we may use the Gravatar service to display a profile picture next to your comment. An anonymized string created from your email address (also called a “hash”) may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After approval of your comment, your profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment.

Commenter Convenience Cookie

If you leave a comment on our site, you may opt-in to saving your name, email address, and website in cookies. These cookies are for your convenience so that you do not have to fill in your details again when you leave another comment. These cookies will last for one year.

This transparent approach to handling comment data is a key component of the NewIAFutures Privacy Policy, ensuring a secure and respectful environment for our community to discuss, debate, and learn together.

Media

At NewIAFutures, we believe in empowering our users with knowledge, not just about AI technology, but also about their own digital footprint. This advisory on media uploads is a key part of that commitment.

If you choose to upload images to the website (for example, as a profile picture or within the body of a comment), we strongly advise you to avoid uploading images that contain embedded location data (EXIF GPS).

Why is this important? Any visitor to the website can download images you have uploaded and use tools to extract this hidden location data from the image file, potentially compromising your privacy.

This recommendation to protect your personal location data is an essential component of the NewIAFutures Privacy Policy. It reflects our core principle of promoting data awareness and responsible technology use, both for our readers and within the AI industry itself.

Contact Forms

When you wish to connect with us directly through the contact forms on our website, the principles of this NewIAFutures Privacy Policy guide how we handle that communication.

What We Collect

When you submit a contact form, we collect the personal information you provide, which typically includes your name, your email address, and the content of your message or inquiry.

Why We Collect It

We use this information solely for the purpose of responding to your inquiries, providing support, or engaging in discussions about the future of AI and AI technology. Our goal is to provide a helpful and direct line of communication.

Data Retention and Marketing

We retain contact form submissions for a limited period for customer service purposes, after which they are deleted.

We want to be unequivocally clear: we do not use the information submitted through our contact forms for marketing purposes unless you explicitly grant us permission to do so (for example, by separately opting into our newsletter).

Newsletter Subscription

At NewIAFutures, you have the option to subscribe to our newsletter to receive our latest AI insights and analysis on the future of AI directly in your inbox. Your choice to subscribe is a sign of trust, which is managed under the clear guidelines of this NewIAFutures Privacy Policy.

Data We Collect and Third-Party Services

When you voluntarily subscribe to our newsletter, the primary piece of personal information we collect is your email address.

To manage and deliver our newsletter communications effectively, we use a third-party email marketing service: [Insert Your Email Provider Here, e.g., Mailchimp, ConvertKit, Substack]. Your email address is securely stored on their platform for the sole purpose of sending you our content. We recommend you review their privacy policy to understand their data practices: [Insert Link to Your Provider’s Privacy Policy].

Your Right to Unsubscribe

We respect your inbox and your right to choose what you receive. You may opt-out and unsubscribe from our newsletter at any time.

Every email we send contains a clear and easy-to-use “Unsubscribe” link, typically located in the footer of the email. Clicking this link will immediately remove you from our mailing list.

Our commitment to providing a valuable, non-intrusive newsletter is a core tenet of the NewIAFutures Privacy Policy. We will never sell your email address or use it for any purpose other than delivering the content you signed up for.

Cookies

This section of the NewIAFutures Privacy Policy explains how we use cookies and similar technologies to recognize you when you visit our website, newiafutures.com. It explains what these technologies are, why we use them, and your rights to control our use of them.

What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work, or work more efficiently, as well as to provide reporting information. They allow us to recognize your device and remember information about your visit, such as your preferences, settings, and how you use our website.

How We Use Cookies

We use cookies for several reasons. Below is a detailed list of the types of cookies we may use on our site, which is dedicated to providing insights on AI technology and the future of AI.

  • Essential Website Cookies: These cookies are strictly necessary to provide you with services available through our website and to use some of its features, such as access to secure areas. Because these cookies are essential, you cannot refuse them without impacting how our website functions.
  • Performance and Analytics Cookies: These cookies collect information that is used in an aggregate, anonymized form to help us understand how our website is being used or how effective our content is. We use Google Analytics to analyze traffic to our site. This helps us learn which articles on AI insights are most popular and identify areas for improvement. This data is not used to personally identify any individual visitor.
  • Functionality Cookies: These cookies are used to recognize you when you return to our website. They enable us to personalize our content for you and remember your preferences. For example, as mentioned in our “Comments” section, if you opt-in, we use a cookie to save your details so you don’t have to re-enter them for future comments.
  • Third-Party Advertising Cookies: We want to be explicitly clear on this point: NewIAFutures does not use third-party advertising cookies. Our business model is based on providing expert, high-quality content, not on tracking your browsing habits across the web to serve you targeted ads. This commitment to a privacy-focused user experience is fundamental to the NewIAFutures Privacy Policy.

Your Choices: How to Manage Cookies

You have the right to decide whether to accept or reject cookies. You can exercise your cookie preferences by setting or amending your web browser controls. If you choose to reject cookies, you may still use our website, though your access to some functionality and areas may be restricted.

To find out more about how to manage and delete cookies, visit the help pages for your specific browser:

This comprehensive and transparent approach to cookie usage is a vital part of the NewIAFutures Privacy Policy, ensuring you have full control over your digital experience with us.

Analytics

A core principle of this NewIAFutures Privacy Policy is transparency, which extends not only to our content about AI technology but also to how we improve our own service. To understand how our readers engage with our website, we use analytics services.

What We Collect and Why

We use Google Analytics to collect anonymous, aggregated data about our website traffic. This information includes:

  • Which pages on our site are visited most frequently.
  • How long visitors spend on our articles.
  • The type of device and browser being used.
  • The general geographic region of our visitors.

We use this data strictly for internal purposes: to see which AI insights and articles on the future of AI resonate most with our audience, to improve site navigation and performance, and to ensure our content is as accessible and valuable as possible.

Commitment to Anonymity

Crucially, this data is processed in a way that does not personally identify you. We are interested in broad patterns and trends (e.g., “Our article on large language models was very popular this month”)—not in the browsing habits of any single individual. This ethical approach to data aligns with our core mission of promoting responsible technology.

Your Right to Opt-Out

We believe in empowering our users with choice. If you prefer that your data not be collected by Google Analytics during your visit, you can opt-out by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on. This will prevent your data from being shared with Google Analytics for any website you visit, not just ours.

You can find the add-on here: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout

Our use of analytics is designed to be a responsible tool for service enhancement. This transparent and privacy-conscious approach is a fundamental part of the NewIAFutures Privacy Policy.

Embedded content from other websites

To provide richer context and more dynamic AI insights, articles on NewIAFutures may include embedded content from other websites. This can include content such as videos, images, articles, audio clips, or social media feeds (e.g., from YouTube, Twitter, Vimeo, etc.).

It is essential to understand how this works, and this section of the NewIAFutures Privacy Policy is designed to provide complete clarity.

How Embedded Content Behaves

Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if you had visited the other website directly.

This means that these external websites may:

  • Collect data about you.
  • Use their own cookies.
  • Embed additional third-party tracking systems.
  • Monitor your interaction with that embedded content.

This monitoring is especially true if you have an account and are logged in to that other website. For example, if you watch an embedded YouTube video on our site while you are logged into your Google account, YouTube can track your viewing activity just as if you were watching it on YouTube.com.

Our Recommendation

We do not control the data collected by these third-party websites. Therefore, we strongly advise you to review the privacy policy of any service from which content is embedded to understand their specific data collection and usage practices.

Our commitment to explaining these third-party interactions is a fundamental part of the NewIAFutures Privacy Policy, ensuring you have a clear picture of how data is handled when you browse our site.

Who we share your data with

First and foremost, let us be unequivocally clear: We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal data with third parties for marketing purposes.

This section of the NewIAFutures Privacy Policy outlines the limited and specific circumstances under which your data may be shared with trusted third-party partners who provide essential services to make our website function. We only share the minimum information necessary for them to perform their function.

We may share data with the following categories of service providers:

  1. Analytics Providers: As detailed in our Analytics section, we share anonymized and aggregated data with Google Analytics. This helps us understand user engagement with our AI insights so we can improve our content and user experience. This data does not personally identify you.
  2. Spam Detection Services: To protect our site and community from spam, visitor comments are processed by an automated spam detection service (such as Akismet). This service analyzes the comment content, your IP address, and browser user agent string to identify and filter out spam.
  3. Email Marketing Providers: If you subscribe to our newsletter, your email address and name are shared with our email marketing provider, [Insert Your Email Provider Here, e.g., Mailchimp, ConvertKit]. This is necessary to manage our subscription list and send you the content you requested.
  4. Legal Obligations: We may be required to disclose your personal data if compelled to do so by law or in response to valid requests by public authorities (e.g., a court order or a government agency). We will only do so when we have a legal obligation.

Our careful selection of partners and our commitment to transparency in these relationships are core components of the NewIAFutures Privacy Policy.

How long we retain your data

A core principle of the NewIAFutures Privacy Policy is data minimization, which means we only retain your personal data for as long as is necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected. Our data retention periods vary depending on the type of information, as outlined below.

For Comments

If you leave a comment on one of our articles, the comment and its associated metadata (such as your name and the time of submission) are retained indefinitely.

Why? This is so we can recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue. It also maintains the public context of the discussion on our articles about the future of AI.

For Contact Form Submissions

When you submit a message through our contact forms, we typically retain that submission for customer service and record-keeping purposes for a period of up to one year. After this period, these submissions are securely deleted from our systems.

For Analytics Data

As explained in our Analytics section, the data we collect for traffic analysis is anonymized and aggregated. We retain this anonymized data for a period of 26 months to analyze long-term trends in website traffic and content performance. After this period, it is automatically deleted by our analytics provider.

This differentiated data retention schedule demonstrates our commitment to handling different types of data appropriately and responsibly. It is a fundamental part of the NewIAFutures Privacy Policy, ensuring we do not hold onto your personal information for longer than is necessary.

What rights you have over your data

Empowering our users with control over their personal information is a cornerstone of the NewIAFutures Privacy Policy. In line with modern data protection regulations like the GDPR, if you have an account on this site or have left comments, you have several fundamental rights regarding your personal data.

You can exercise the following rights:

  • The Right to Access: You can request to receive an exported file of the personal data we hold about you. This file will include all the data you have provided to us directly.
  • The Right to Rectification: If you believe any personal data we hold about you is inaccurate or incomplete, you have the right to request that we correct it.
  • The Right to Erasure (The “Right to be Forgotten”): You can request that we erase any personal data we hold about you.

Important Limitations

Please note that this right to erasure is not absolute. It does not include any data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes. For example, we cannot erase comment data that is part of a public discussion thread or transaction records we are legally required to maintain.

How to Exercise Your Rights

To exercise any of these rights, please send your request to us using the contact information provided at the end of this policy. We will respond to your request in a timely manner, in accordance with applicable data protection laws.

Fulfilling these requests promptly and transparently is a key commitment of the NewIAFutures Privacy Policy, reflecting our dedication to user rights as we explore the future of AI together.

Where your data is sent

A key part of our commitment to transparency in this NewIAFutures Privacy Policy is explaining not just what data we collect, but also where it might be processed by third-party services that help our website function.

Your data may be sent to the following types of services:

  • Spam Detection Services: To protect our site from spam and maintain the quality of our discussions, visitor comments are checked through an automated spam detection service (such as Akismet). This service analyzes the comment, IP address, and other metadata to determine if it is spam.
  • Analytics Providers: As detailed in our Analytics section, anonymized traffic data is processed by Google Analytics. Google’s servers are located globally, meaning this anonymized data may be processed in a country outside of your own.
  • Email Marketing Providers: If you subscribe to our newsletter, your email address is processed by our third-party email service provider ([Insert Your Email Provider Here, e.g., Mailchimp]), whose servers may also be located internationally.

International Data Transfers

It is important to note that some of these third-party services operate outside of the European Union. When your data is transferred internationally, we take steps to ensure it is protected by selecting reputable partners who adhere to high standards of data privacy, such as participating in recognized data privacy frameworks like the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework.

This full disclosure of data pathways is essential to the integrity of the NewIAFutures Privacy Policy and our mission to operate with the same transparency we advocate for in the AI industry.

Additional Information

How we protect your data

The security of your personal information is of paramount importance to us. At NewIAFutures, we are committed to implementing a range of security measures to maintain the safety of your data, a commitment that is central to this NewIAFutures Privacy Policy.

We employ a variety of security measures to protect against the loss, misuse, and alteration of the information under our control. These measures include:

  • Encryption in Transit (SSL/TLS): Our website uses Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) / Transport Layer Security (TLS) encryption to protect the data transmitted between your browser and our server. You can verify this by looking for the lock icon in your browser’s address bar and the “https” at the beginning of our URL.
  • Secure Infrastructure: Our website is hosted on a secure server environment that uses firewalls and other advanced technology to prevent interference or access from outside intruders.
  • Limited Access Controls: Access to personal data is strictly limited to authorized personnel who have a legitimate need to access it to perform their duties (such as responding to a contact form inquiry). Our team is trained on the importance of confidentiality and data security.
  • Regular Software Updates: We diligently maintain the security of our site by keeping our content management system and all associated software updated to protect against known vulnerabilities.

Our Commitment to Vigilance

While we implement robust security measures designed to protect your information, it is important to remember that no method of electronic storage or transmission over the Internet is 100% infallible. We cannot guarantee its absolute security.

However, our commitment to you is one of constant vigilance. We continuously review our security practices to adapt to new threats and ensure we are doing our utmost to protect your data. This dedication to security is a core tenet of the NewIAFutures Privacy Policy and our overall mission to foster a trustworthy environment for exploring the future of AI.

What data breach procedures we have in place

At NewIAFutures, our commitment to transparency and security extends to being prepared for worst-case scenarios. This section of the NewIAFutures Privacy Policy outlines the procedures we have in place to respond effectively in the unlikely event of a data breach.

Our data breach response plan is designed to be prompt and methodical, focusing on containment, assessment, notification, and review. The procedure includes the following key steps:

  • Immediate Containment: Our first priority upon discovering a potential breach is to take immediate action to contain it. This involves securing our systems, identifying the source of the vulnerability, and taking steps to prevent any further unauthorized access to data.
  • Thorough Assessment: Once the situation is contained, our team will conduct a thorough investigation to assess the scope and impact of the breach. We will work to determine what data, if any, may have been compromised and which individuals may be affected.
  • Timely Notification: In the event of a data breach that is likely to result in a high risk to the rights and freedoms of individuals, we are committed to notifying the affected users and any relevant supervisory authorities as required by law (such as under GDPR). This notification will be made without undue delay and will provide clear information about the nature of the breach, the potential consequences, and the steps you can take to protect yourself.
  • Post-Incident Review and Prevention: After any incident, we will conduct a comprehensive post-breach review of our policies, procedures, and security measures. The goal is to learn from the event and implement necessary improvements to our security posture to prevent future occurrences.

Our proactive approach to data breach preparedness is a critical element of our responsibility to you and a testament to the integrity of the NewIAFutures Privacy Policy. We believe that building a trustworthy platform for discussing the future of AI requires this level of diligence and preparation.
