Privacy and Data Handling

M365 Simplicity commits to a strict no-tracking policy. We do not collect, store, or share any personal data or configuration details from our users.

Last Updated: July 28, 2026

At startusingai.com, accessible from https://www.startusingai.com, one of our main priorities is the privacy of our visitors. This Privacy Policy document outlines the types of information that is collected and recorded by startusingai.com and how we use and protect it.

1. Information We Collect

We collect information to provide better services to all our users. The types of data we collect depend on how you interact with our website:

  • Log Files: Like most standard websites, startusingai.com uses log files. The information inside log files includes internet protocol (IP) addresses, browser type, Internet Service Provider (ISP), date/time stamp, referring/exit pages, and the number of clicks. This data is not linked to any information that is personally identifiable and is used strictly for analyzing trends, administering the site, and tracking user movement.

  • Voluntary Information: If you contact us directly or subscribe to a newsletter, we may receive additional information about you, such as your name, email address, and the contents of the message you send us.

  • Cookies and Web Beacons: We use cookies to store information about visitors' preferences, optimize the user experience, and serve personalized content and advertisements.

2. Google AdSense & Third-Party Advertising

startusingai.com uses Google AdSense and other third-party vendors to serve ads when you visit our website.

  • DoubleClicks DART Cookie: Google, as a third-party vendor, uses cookies to serve ads on our site based on users' visits to startusingai.com and other sites on the internet.

  • Managing Cookies: Users may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ad & Content Network Privacy Policy.

  • Third-party ad servers or ad networks use technologies like cookies, JavaScript, or Web Beacons in their respective advertisements and links that appear on startusingai.com, which are sent directly to users' browsers. They automatically receive your IP address when this occurs. These technologies are used to measure the effectiveness of their advertising campaigns and/or to personalize the advertising content that you see.

Note: startusingai.com has no access to or control over cookies that are used by third-party advertisers.

Google AdSense and DoubleClick Cookie

We use Google AdSense to display advertisements on startdoingai.com. Google, as a third-party vendor, uses cookies to serve ads on our site. Specifically, Google uses the DoubleClick cookie, which enables it and its partners to serve ads to our users based on their past visits to our site and/or other sites on the internet.

  • Users may opt out of the use of the DoubleClick cookie for personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings.

  • Alternatively, you can opt out of a third-party vendor's use of cookies for personalized advertising by visiting www.aboutads.info.

We have no access to or control over these cookies that are used by third-party advertisers.

3. Data Handling & AI Prompt Interactions

As a platform dedicated to artificial intelligence tools, tutorials, and workflows, we want to be completely transparent regarding data handling when working with AI models:

  • No Direct Prompt Logging: Any prompts, code snippets, or sample inputs displayed on startusingai.com are provided for educational purposes. We do not store, log, or harvest inputs you copy or test on third-party platforms.

  • Third-Party AI Services: When you click external links or navigate to third-party AI platforms (such as ChatGPT, Gemini, Copilot, or Mage Space), your data handling is governed entirely by the privacy policies and terms of service of those respective platforms. We strongly encourage users to review the privacy settings and data retention policies of any AI tool before entering sensitive or proprietary information.

4. Your Rights (GDPR & CCPA)

Depending on your location, you have rights regarding your personal data:

  • CCPA / CPRA Privacy Rights (California Residents): You have the right to request that we disclose what personal data we have collected, request the deletion of your data, or request that we do not sell or share your personal data.

  • GDPR Data Protection Rights (EU/UK Residents): You are entitled to the right to access, rectification, erasure, restriction of processing, objection to processing, and data portability.

If you wish to exercise any of these rights or have questions regarding your data, please contact us via our official contact page.

Compliance
Meeting UK GDPR and PECR standards means that simply updating the policy text is only half the requirement. To fully protect the site and keep the AdSense account in good standing, advertising cookies cannot actually fire until a visitor actively clicks "Accept" on a consent banner.

Google provides a free, built-in solution for this. Once the AdSense account is approved, look for the Privacy & messaging tab in the AdSense dashboard. It allows you to deploy a fully compliant consent banner that integrates directly with Google's ad tags, ensuring cookies are blocked until the user opts in.

5. Children's Information

Another priority is adding protection for children while using the internet. startusingai.com does not knowingly collect any Personal Identifiable Information from children under the age of 13 (or 16 in certain jurisdictions). If you think that your child provided this kind of information on our website, we strongly encourage you to contact us immediately and we will do our best efforts to promptly remove such information from our records.
