2. What information we collect

When you subscribe to the Groovia newsletter on groovia.ai, we collect:

• ●Your email address

In future versions of this service, we may also collect additional information if we introduce interactive tools, quizzes, or AI-assisted features on the site. We will update this policy before introducing those features.

We also collect information automatically through Google Analytics when you visit groovia.ai. This includes data such as pages visited, time spent on the site, your general location (country/city level), the device and browser you used, and how you arrived at the site.

We use Google Analytics data to understand how people find and use the site, and to improve it. We do not use it to identify individual visitors.

If we introduce AI-assisted tools or diagnostics in the future, and those tools involve passing your information to a third-party AI model, we will obtain your explicit consent first and clearly identify which provider is being used.

4. How we store your information

Subscriber information is stored in a database hosted on secure cloud infrastructure, which may include servers located outside Australia. By subscribing on groovia.ai, you consent to your data being stored on these servers.

We retain your information for as long as you remain subscribed, or as necessary to maintain a record of communications. If you ask us to delete your data, we will do so within 30 days.

Each of these providers processes your data only as necessary to provide their service and is bound by their own privacy commitments.
