Privacy Policy

Updated

Welcome to My Best AI Girlfriends. We respect your privacy and are committed to protecting your personal data. This privacy policy explains what we collect when you visit mybestaigirlfriends.com, how we use it, and the rights you have over it.

Our site is not intended for children, and we do not knowingly collect data relating to anyone under 18.

1. The data we collect about you

We keep data collection to a minimum. The categories of personal data we may collect are:

  • Technical Data — IP address (hashed and truncated before storage), browser type and version, time zone, operating system, and the device used to access the site.
  • Usage Data — how you interact with our AI girlfriend app reviews, which pages you visit, and which affiliate links you click.
  • Marketing and Communications Data — your preferences if you opt in to receive updates from us.

We do not collect names, emails or other personally identifying information unless you contact us directly.

2. How we collect your personal data

We use the following methods:

  • Direct interactions — when you email us, leave a comment, or send feedback about an AI companion app review.
  • Automated technologies — as you browse the site, we automatically log technical data about your device and your navigation patterns.
  • Third parties — affiliate networks (Tapfiliate, FirstPromoter, Rewardful, ShareASale) may share aggregated click data with us so we know which of our recommendations are useful to readers.

3. How we use your personal data

We only process personal data when we have a lawful reason. The main purposes are:

  • Service delivery — to make our AI girlfriend rankings and reviews fast and reliable.
  • Audience measurement — to understand which AI girlfriend apps and articles readers find most useful, so we can prioritise our testing.
  • Security — to detect abuse, rate-limit bots, and protect our infrastructure.
  • Legal obligations — when required by law.

4. Data security

We have put in place appropriate technical and organisational measures to prevent personal data from being accidentally lost, used, or accessed without authorisation. Access is limited to people who genuinely need it to operate the site.

All affiliate click data is stored with the IP address hashed (SHA-256 with a server-side salt) and truncated, so it cannot be reversed into an identifiable visitor.

5. Data retention

We keep personal data only as long as is reasonably necessary:

  • Browsing logs and affiliate click data — up to 13 months.
  • Email correspondence — up to 3 years from the last exchange.
  • Admin session cookies — 8 hours.

6. Your legal rights

Depending on where you live, you may have the following rights over your personal data:

  • Request access to the data we hold about you.
  • Request correction of inaccurate data.
  • Request erasure of your data.
  • Object to or restrict processing.
  • Request data portability.
  • Withdraw consent at any time.

Visitors from the European Union, the UK, and California (CCPA) have these rights by law. To exercise any of them, contact us via our contact page. We will respond within 30 days.

7. Cookies

Our site uses the following cookies:

  • Strictly necessarynuxt-session (admin only, 8h) and i18n_redirected (remembers your preferred language).
  • AnalyticsMicrosoft Clarity sets cookies (_clck, _clsk, CLID, ANONCHK, MUID, SM) to record anonymised session replays and generate heatmaps.

We do not use advertising cookies and we do not sell your data to third parties. You can opt out of Microsoft Clarity tracking via Microsoft's privacy controls or by enabling Do Not Track / Global Privacy Control in your browser.

8. International transfers

Our servers are located inside the European Economic Area. If we work with service providers that operate outside the EEA, we ensure that an adequate level of protection is in place, either through an adequacy decision or appropriate contractual safeguards.

9. Marketing communications

We do not currently run a newsletter. If we launch one in the future, sign-ups will be strictly opt-in, and you will be able to unsubscribe from any email with a single click.

10. Changes to this privacy policy

We may update this privacy policy from time to time. The effective date at the top of the page reflects the latest revision. Significant changes will be announced on our home page for at least 30 days.
