Last updated: March 2026
AI Companion Guides ("we," "us," or "our") operates the website aicompanionguides.com. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your information when you visit our site.
Information We Collect
Analytics Data
We use Cloudflare Web Analytics to understand how visitors use our site. Cloudflare Web Analytics is a privacy-first analytics tool that does not use cookies or collect personal data. It tracks aggregate metrics such as page views, referral sources, and browser types without identifying individual visitors.
Email Addresses
If you voluntarily subscribe to our newsletter or updates via the subscribe form on our site, we collect your email address. We use this solely to send you content updates and will never sell, rent, or share your email address with third parties.
Server Logs
Our hosting provider (Cloudflare) may collect standard server log information, including IP addresses, browser type, and pages visited. This data is used for security and performance purposes and is handled according to Cloudflare's Privacy Policy.
Cookies
Our site does not set first-party cookies for tracking purposes. Cloudflare Web Analytics is cookie-free. However, Cloudflare may set essential cookies for security purposes (such as bot detection). Third-party services linked from our site (including affiliate partners) may use their own cookies when you visit their sites.
Affiliate Links
Our content includes affiliate links, primarily through CrakRevenue and other affiliate networks. When you click an affiliate link and visit a third-party site, that site may collect information according to its own privacy policy. We earn a commission on qualifying purchases or sign-ups made through these links, at no additional cost to you.
We do not have access to any personal data you provide to third-party sites through affiliate links.
How We Use Your Information
- To provide and improve our website content
- To send email updates if you have subscribed
- To understand site usage through anonymous analytics
- To maintain site security and performance
Data Sharing
We do not sell, trade, or otherwise transfer your personal information to third parties. We may share anonymous, aggregated analytics data that cannot identify individual users.
Data Retention
Email addresses collected through our subscribe form are retained until you unsubscribe. Analytics data is retained according to Cloudflare's data retention policies.

Depending on your location, you may have the right to:
- Access the personal data we hold about you
