Draft — pending legal review. This page was assembled from industry-standard privacy policy structure and CiteHQ.io's actual data practices as understood today. It has not been reviewed by an attorney and should not be published live until it is.

CiteHQ.io ("CiteHQ," "we," "us," "our") respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect through citehq.io, how we use it, and the choices you have.

1. Information We Collect

Information you provide directly — when you request an AI Citation Pulse, book an AI Visibility Gap Audit, contact us, or sign up for a retainer, we collect information such as your name, email address, company name, industry, and any details you provide about your business.

Information collected automatically — like most websites, we automatically collect certain technical information when you visit citehq.io, including your IP address, browser type, device information, referring page, and pages viewed. We use cookies and similar tracking technologies for this purpose, consistent with our use of standard analytics tools.

2. How We Use Your Information

3. Cookies and Tracking

We use cookies and similar technologies to understand how visitors use citehq.io and to improve the site. You can control cookies through your browser settings; disabling cookies may affect some site functionality.

4. How We Share Information

We do not sell your personal information. We may share information with service providers who help us operate citehq.io and deliver our services (for example, hosting, analytics, and email delivery providers), and where required by law, court order, or governmental request.

5. Data Security

We use reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your information. No method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

6. International Data

CiteHQ.io serves clients in the United States and, given our bilingual English/Spanish practice, across Latin America. If you are located outside the United States, your information will be processed in the United States, where data protection laws may differ from those in your country.

7. Third-Party Links

citehq.io may link to third-party websites, including the AI platforms we test against (ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews, Microsoft Copilot, Gemini, Claude). We are not responsible for the privacy practices of these third parties. Please review their privacy policies directly.

8. Children's Privacy

citehq.io is intended for business use and is not directed at individuals under 18. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

9. Your Choices
