We use data to operate and continuously improve TrendsCoded:

TrendsCoded uses machine learning systems to enhance visibility scoring, motivator analysis, and persona simulations. These systems are regularly reviewed for performance and fairness and are not used to make automated decisions about individual users.

Our AI models are trained using data from various sources:

• Public Data: Publicly available information from websites, social media, and other public sources
• AI Platform Data: Aggregated, anonymized data from AI assistant interactions and responses
• User-Generated Content: Content you create using our platform (with your consent)
• Third-Party APIs: Data obtained through legitimate API access to external services

Our platform uses automated systems to:

• Generate AI visibility rankings and scores
• Provide content recommendations based on AI patterns
• Analyze factor weights and motivator scores
• Create personalized insights and reports

Your Rights: You have the right to request human review of any automated decision that significantly affects you. Contact us if you believe an automated decision is incorrect or unfair.

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information.

We only share limited data when necessary:

• Service Providers: Trusted partners who help us operate, host, analyze, or secure our infrastructure.
• Legal Compliance: When required by law or to protect our legal rights.
• Business Transfers: If TrendsCoded undergoes a merger, acquisition, or restructuring, data transfers will remain under equivalent privacy protections.
• With Consent: When you explicitly choose to share visibility reports or data publicly.

We use industry-standard security practices to protect your information:

• Encryption in transit and at rest
• Access controls and multi-factor authentication
• Regular audits and vulnerability assessments
• Secure hosting infrastructure with monitored access

In the event of a data breach that may affect your personal information:

• Detection & Response: We have procedures to detect, assess, and respond to security incidents
• Regulatory Notification: We will notify relevant data protection authorities within 72 hours (GDPR requirement)
• User Notification: We will notify affected users without undue delay if the breach poses a high risk to their rights and freedoms
• Remediation: We will take immediate steps to contain the breach and prevent further unauthorized access

You may at any time:
