CogniFact Cloud Solutions LLC (“CogniFact,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) operates the website at cognifact.net (the “Site”). This Privacy Policy explains how information is handled in connection with your use of the Site.

Our core commitment is straightforward: we do not collect, store, process, or share any personal data or personally identifiable information (PII) from visitors to this Site. This Site is an informational resource and has been deliberately designed to operate without any data collection mechanisms of our own.

This policy is provided in compliance with applicable privacy and data protection laws, including the EU General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”), the UK GDPR, the California Consumer Privacy Act as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (“CCPA/CPRA”), and the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (“COPPA”).

For the purposes of applicable data protection law, the data controller responsible for this Site is:

CogniFact Cloud Solutions LLC
Idaho, United States of America
Privacy contact: privacy@cognifact.net

This Site has been designed with data minimization as a foundational principle. We explicitly do not collect:

• Account or Registration Data: There are no user accounts, logins, or registration systems on this Site.
• Form Submissions: This Site does not contain contact forms, newsletter sign-up fields, comment sections, or any input fields that capture your name, email address, telephone number, or any other personal information.
• Behavioral Analytics: We do not use Google Analytics, Meta Pixel, Adobe Analytics, Hotjar, Mixpanel, or any other behavioral analytics or marketing tracking tools.
• Advertising Networks: We do not serve third-party advertisements and are not affiliated with any ad network that tracks user behavior across websites.
• Social Media Widgets: We do not embed social media “like” buttons, share widgets, or third-party login integrations that could track your activity.

While we collect no data directly, the operation of this Site involves third-party services that may process limited technical metadata as a passive consequence of serving web content. We do not receive, access, or retain any of this data ourselves.

4.1 Cloudflare, Inc. (Content Delivery Network & Security)

This Site is served through Cloudflare, Inc. as our content delivery network (CDN), reverse proxy, and security provider. When you access this Site, your connection is routed through Cloudflare’s global network infrastructure. Cloudflare automatically processes the following technical metadata for the purposes of routing traffic, preventing abuse (including DDoS attacks), and maintaining service security:

• IP address (which Cloudflare may partially anonymize or mask)
• Browser user-agent string and operating system
• Pages requested and HTTP referrer
• Date, time, and approximate geographic region of the request

This processing is governed solely by Cloudflare’s own privacy policy and data processing terms. CogniFact does not access, store, or use this data. For full details, see: https://www.cloudflare.com/privacypolicy/

4.2 Google Fonts (Typography)

This Site loads typeface assets from Google Fonts (fonts.googleapis.com). When a page on this Site is rendered, your browser makes a request to Google’s servers to retrieve font files. Google may log this request, including your IP address and user-agent. No user input is involved in this process. For more information, see: https://policies.google.com/privacy

4.3 Third-Party Icon CDN (A-AI Page Only)

The A-AI feature page of this Site loads icon images hosted at win98icons.alexmeub.com. Your browser’s request to retrieve these images may be logged by that server. No user input is transmitted to this service.

4.4 In-Browser Processing (A-AI Feature)

The A-AI interactive feature on this Site runs entirely within your web browser using pre-defined, locally executed JavaScript logic. No text, queries, or inputs you enter into the A-AI interface are transmitted to any server — not to CogniFact, Cloudflare, or any other party. All processing occurs locally on your device and is discarded when you close or navigate away from the page.

This Site does not set or use first-party cookies, tracking cookies, advertising cookies, or behavioral profiling cookies of any kind.

Cloudflare may set strictly essential technical cookies on your browser as part of its DDoS mitigation, bot detection, and connection security functions. These cookies:

• Do not contain personal information
• Cannot be used to identify you or track you across other websites
• Are strictly functional and security-related in nature

Common examples of Cloudflare-issued cookies include __cf_bm (automated bot management) and cf_clearance (security challenge completion token). These are governed entirely by Cloudflare’s cookie policy.

Because no non-essential cookies are used, this Site does not require a cookie consent banner under ePrivacy Directive requirements.

For visitors located in the European Economic Area (EEA), the United Kingdom, or Switzerland, any incidental processing of personal data by third-party infrastructure providers described in Section 4 is conducted on the following legal basis:

• Legitimate Interests (Article 6(1)(f) GDPR): The processing of minimal technical metadata by Cloudflare is necessary for the legitimate interests of ensuring Site security, preventing malicious attacks, and routing traffic to deliver content to your browser. We have assessed that these interests are not overridden by your fundamental rights and freedoms, given the transient and non-identifying nature of the data processed and the fact that CogniFact itself does not access or retain it.

CogniFact does not engage in any processing that would require consent under Article 6(1)(a) GDPR (e.g., tracking, profiling, or marketing).

7.1 Rights Under GDPR (EEA, UK, and Swiss Residents)

Under the GDPR and UK GDPR, you have the following rights regarding personal data that concerns you:

• Right of Access (Article 15): The right to request confirmation of whether your personal data is being processed and to obtain a copy of it.
• Right to Rectification (Article 16): The right to request correction of inaccurate personal data.
• Right to Erasure / “Right to Be Forgotten” (Article 17): The right to request deletion of your personal data where it is no longer necessary for the purpose it was collected.
• Right to Restriction of Processing (Article 18): The right to request that processing of your data be restricted in certain circumstances.
• Right to Data Portability (Article 20): The right to receive personal data you have provided in a structured, machine-readable format.
• Right to Object (Article 21): The right to object to processing based on legitimate interests.
• Right to Lodge a Complaint: You have the right to lodge a complaint with your national supervisory authority. EU residents may contact their local Data Protection Authority; UK residents may contact the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) at ico.org.uk.

Because CogniFact does not hold any personal data, requests relating to data processed by Cloudflare or other third parties should be directed to those parties directly. We will assist where we reasonably can.

7.2 Rights Under CCPA/CPRA (California Residents)

Under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA), California residents have the right to:

• Know what personal information is collected, used, shared, or sold
• Request deletion of personal information
• Opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information
• Non-discrimination for exercising their privacy rights
• Correct inaccurate personal information
• Limit the use and disclosure of sensitive personal information

CogniFact does not sell, share, rent, or otherwise monetize any personal information. We do not collect personal information directly from users. As such, the majority of CCPA/CPRA rights are satisfied by default. To the extent Cloudflare or other infrastructure providers process data subject to CCPA, please contact those providers directly.

This Site does not knowingly target, market to, or collect any personal information from children under the age of 13. In compliance with the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA), our zero-collection policy ensures that no personal data from any visitor — including minors — is ever captured or retained by CogniFact.

If you believe a child under the age of 13 has provided personal information in connection with this Site, please contact us at privacy@cognifact.net and we will promptly investigate and take appropriate action.

This Site may contain links to external websites and third-party services. Once you click a link and leave this Site, you are subject to the privacy practices of that external party. CogniFact has no control over, and accepts no responsibility for, the content, privacy policies, or data handling practices of any external websites.

We encourage you to review the privacy policy of any website you visit.

Although CogniFact does not collect or store user data, the Site is served with the following security measures in place through Cloudflare’s infrastructure:

• SSL/TLS Encryption: All traffic to and from this Site is encrypted in transit via HTTPS.
• DDoS Protection: Cloudflare provides network-layer and application-layer DDoS mitigation.
• Web Application Firewall (WAF): Cloudflare’s WAF filters malicious traffic before it reaches the Site.

We maintain no databases, servers, or data stores that could be subject to a breach involving personal data.

We reserve the right to modify this Privacy Policy at any time. Any changes will be effective immediately upon posting and will be reflected by an updated “Last Updated” date at the top of this page.

Because our core policy is data non-collection, any substantive changes would most likely reflect updates to third-party infrastructure (for example, a change in CDN provider) rather than the introduction of new data collection activities. We will not introduce data collection practices without updating this policy accordingly.

We encourage you to review this policy periodically. Your continued use of the Site after any changes constitutes your acknowledgment of the revised policy.

This Privacy Policy is governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Idaho and applicable federal laws of the United States of America, without regard to conflict of law principles.

For visitors in the EEA or United Kingdom, applicable GDPR and UK GDPR provisions take precedence over this clause to the extent required by law.

Any disputes arising from or relating to this Privacy Policy shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the State of Idaho, United States of America, except where superseded by applicable mandatory consumer protection or data protection law in your jurisdiction.
