Privacy Policy

Last updated: September 25, 2025

AI Fear & Greed ("we", "our", or "us"), operated by JM Consulting Co., Ltd., managesaifearandgreed.com, a daily sentiment tracker covering artificial intelligence news and community perspectives. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect when you use the site, how we use it, and the choices you have to control your data.

Information We Collect

Site Analytics

We use privacy-focused analytics tools to understand how visitors use the site. These services capture non-identifying usage information such as page views, device type, approximate location (city-level), and technical events needed to operate the service. They do not create individual-level profiles.

Newsletter Subscriptions

When you subscribe to our newsletter, we collect the email address you provide so we can send you updates. We only use this information to deliver the newsletter and related announcements. You can unsubscribe at any time using the link included in every email.

Community Votes

Visitors can express daily sentiment by casting a vote (fear, neutral, or greed). Votes are recorded with minimal metadata (sentiment choice, timestamp, and a randomized identifier or IP hash) to prevent duplicate submissions and detect abuse. We do not store names or contact details with vote data.

Server Logs

Our cloud infrastructure providers automatically maintain temporary logs of requests for security, debugging, and reliability. These logs may include IP addresses, browser headers, and error diagnostics. Logs are retained for a limited time and are not used for marketing.

Content Sources

Daily news summaries and historical sentiment data are loaded from our private repository. This process does not collect new personal data about visitors; it simply retrieves content for display on the site.

Cookies and Similar Technologies

We rely on essential cookies and local storage to keep the site functional (for example, to remember that you have already voted today). Google AdSense and our analytics tools may set their own cookies or use similar technologies to measure performance, detect fraud, and personalize ad delivery consistent with their respective policies.

How We Use Information

• To operate, maintain, and improve the AI Fear & Greed experience.
• To monitor service performance, diagnose issues, and keep the site secure.
• To deliver newsletters and essential product updates when you opt in.
• To comply with legal obligations and enforce our terms of use.

How We Share Information

We do not sell or rent your personal data. We share limited information with trusted processors needed to operate the service, including:

• Cloud hosting providers that serve the website infrastructure.
• Google, which serves advertising through AdSense (if ads are displayed in your region).
• Email delivery partners that send our newsletter.

These providers process information on our behalf under data protection agreements. We may disclose information if required by law, regulation, or legal process.

Your Choices

• Analytics Opt-Out: You can use browser-level privacy tools (such as tracking protection or ad blockers) to limit analytics collection.
• Newsletter: Click the unsubscribe link in any email to stop receiving the newsletter.
• Advertising Preferences: You can adjust your Google ad personalization settings atadssettings.google.com.
• Cookies: Most browsers let you delete or block cookies. Doing so may impact certain features (for example, remembering whether you have already voted today).

Data Retention

We retain analytics summaries, vote aggregates, and newsletter subscriber records only as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined above or as required by law. Aggregated or anonymized data that no longer identifies you may be kept for longer to support historical reporting.

International Visitors

The site is operated in the United States. If you access the site from outside the U.S., you consent to the transfer and processing of your information in the United States or other locations where our providers operate.

Children’s Privacy

AI Fear & Greed is intended for individuals aged 16 and older. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal data, please contact us so we can delete it.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy to reflect new operational practices or legal requirements. When we do, we will update the “Last updated” date at the top of this page. Material changes may also be communicated via the newsletter or on-site alerts.
