Last reviewed: October 27, 2026
AI & The World respects the privacy of readers, interview participants, contributors and individuals who contact our publication.
This policy describes our intended approach to personal information and will be updated as our website, publishing services and technical systems develop.
1. Information You Provide
When you contact us, submit information for editorial consideration or participate in an interview, we may receive your name, email address, professional affiliation, correspondence and other information you voluntarily provide.
We use this information to respond to inquiries, evaluate editorial submissions, coordinate interviews and manage related correspondence.
2. Website and Technical Information
Our website is powered by WordPress and hosted through a third-party hosting provider.
The hosting environment and any enabled website services may process technical information such as IP addresses, browser information, access times and security-related activity.
The specific cookies, retention periods and technical processing activities require confirmation against our active website configuration.

Some website functions or administrative services may use cookies.
We will identify any additional analytics, advertising, newsletter or tracking services when they are enabled and update this policy accordingly.
4. Editorial Information
Information submitted for journalistic consideration may be reviewed and assessed as part of editorial research.
Submission does not guarantee publication, confidentiality or an editorial response.
Confidentiality arrangements, where applicable, should be expressly agreed upon before sensitive information is disclosed.
5. Artificial Intelligence
AI & The World uses AI-assisted tools to support aspects of research, writing preparation and editorial operations.
Information supplied through editorial correspondence may be processed using appropriately selected tools as part of these activities, subject to applicable safeguards.
We aim to limit unnecessary personal information in AI-assisted workflows and maintain human accountability for editorial decisions.
6. Third-Party Services
Our website depends on hosting, domain and publishing technology supplied by third parties.
Their processing practices may be governed by their respective privacy policies.
We will update this policy when additional integrated services are introduced.
7. Data Retention and Security
We intend to retain personal information only for legitimate editorial, operational, recordkeeping or legal purposes.
We take reasonable steps to protect information but cannot guarantee that any internet-based service is completely secure.
8. Your Privacy Inquiries
You may contact us to ask about information you have provided or to request correction or deletion where applicable.
Certain information may need to be retained for legitimate journalistic, legal or recordkeeping purposes.

Applicable privacy rights and obligations may differ depending on the individual’s location, the nature of the information and the circumstances in which it is processed.
