Cookies and Other Tracking Technologies

PlanMeAI uses cookies to enhance your experience, analyze site usage, and serve advertisements. Cookies are small text files placed on your device by websites that you visit. They are widely used in order to make websites work, or work more efficiently, as well as to provide information to the owners of the site.

Types of Cookies We Use:

  • Essential Cookies: These cookies are strictly necessary to provide you with services available through our website and to use some of its features, such as accessing secure areas.
  • Analytical/Performance Cookies: These cookies collect information about how visitors use our website, for instance, which pages visitors go to most often. This helps us to improve the way our website works. We use Google Analytics for this purpose.
  • Advertising Cookies: These cookies are used to deliver advertisements more relevant to you and your interests. They are also used to limit the number of times you see an advertisement and help measure the effectiveness of the advertising campaigns. These are primarily utilized by Google AdSense, as detailed below.

Managing Cookies:

You have the option to accept or decline cookies. Most web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually modify your browser setting to decline cookies if you prefer. However, this may prevent you from taking full advantage of the website.

Google AdSense and DoubleClick DART Cookie

PlanMeAI uses Google AdSense to display advertisements on our website. Google, as a third-party vendor, uses cookies to serve ads on our site.

  • Google AdSense Ad Serving: Google’s use of the DART cookie enables it to serve ads to our users based on their visit to planmeai.com and other sites on the Internet. This allows Google to serve ads relevant to users’ interests.
  • DoubleClick Cookies: DoubleClick cookies are used by Google and its partners to serve ads based on your visit to planmeAI.com and/or other sites on the Internet. These cookies identify your browser and allow personalized advertisements to be displayed.

Users may opt out of the use of the DART cookie by visiting the Google Ad and Content Network Privacy Policy at the following URL: http://www.google.com/ads/preferences/. Alternatively, you can opt out of a third-party vendor’s use of cookies for personalized advertising by visiting http://www.aboutads.info/choices/.

If you choose to opt out of personalized advertising, you may still see non-personalized ads on PlanMeAI.

Data Security

We implement reasonable security measures designed to protect your information from unauthorized access, use, alteration, and disclosure. These measures include using SSL/TLS encryption for data transmission, regularly monitoring our systems for vulnerabilities, and restricting access to your personal data to authorized personnel only.

However, please be aware that no method of transmission over the Internet or method of electronic storage is 100% secure. Therefore, while we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.

Data Retention

We retain your personal information only for as long as is necessary for the purposes set out in this Privacy Policy, or for as long as we are required to do so by law. For example, we will retain your email address for newsletter purposes until you unsubscribe. Usage data is generally retained for a shorter period, unless this data is used to strengthen the security or to improve the functionality of our website, or we are legally obligated to retain this data for longer time periods.

Your Data Rights

For Users in the European Economic Area (EEA) and the UK (GDPR Rights):

If you are a resident of the EEA or UK, you have certain data protection rights. We aim to take reasonable steps to allow you to correct, amend, delete, or limit the use of your Personal Data.

  • Right to Access: You have the right to request copies of your personal data.
  • Right to Rectification: You have the right to request that we correct any information you believe is inaccurate or complete information you believe is incomplete.
  • Right to Erasure (“Right to be Forgotten”): You have the right to request that we erase your personal data, under certain conditions.
  • Right to Restriction of Processing: You have the right to request that we restrict the processing of your personal data, under certain conditions.
  • Right to Data Portability: You have the right to request that we transfer the data that we have collected to another organization, or directly to you, under certain conditions.
  • Right to Object: You have the right to object to our processing of your personal data, under certain conditions.
  • Rights in relation to automated decision making and profiling: You have the right not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing, including profiling, which produces legal effects concerning you or similarly significantly affects you.
  • Right to Withdraw Consent: You also have the right to withdraw your consent at any time where PlanMeAI relied on your consent to process your personal information.

If you make a request, we have one month to respond to you. If you would like to exercise any of these rights, please contact us at privacy@planmeai.com.

You also have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, particularly in the Member State of your habitual residence, place of work, or where an alleged infringement of the GDPR occurred.

For California Residents (CCPA Rights):

If you are a California resident, the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) provides you with specific rights regarding your personal information.

  • Right to Know: You have the right to request that we disclose to you the categories and specific pieces of personal information we have collected about you, the categories of sources from which the personal information is collected, the purposes for collecting the personal information, the categories of third parties with whom we share the personal information, and the categories of personal information that we have “sold” (as defined by CCPA) or disclosed for a business purpose.
  • Right to Delete: You have the right to request the deletion of your personal information that we have collected, subject to certain exceptions.
  • Right to Opt-Out of Sale: PlanMeAI does not directly “sell” your personal information in the traditional sense for monetary gain. However, under the CCPA’s broad definition, sharing data for cross-context behavioral advertising (e.g., through Google AdSense personalized ads) might be considered a “sale.” You have the right to opt-out of the “sale” of your personal information. To exercise this right, you can adjust your cookie settings as described in the “Cookies and Other Tracking Technologies” section or utilize the opt-out options provided by Google AdSense and the Network Advertising Initiative.
  • Right to Non-Discrimination: We will not discriminate against you for exercising any of your CCPA rights. This means we will not deny you goods or services, charge you different prices, or provide a different level or quality of goods or services.

To exercise your CCPA rights (excluding opting out of sales which can be done via cookie settings), please submit a verifiable consumer request to us at privacy@planmeai.com. We will respond to your request within 45 days.

International Data Transfers

Your information, including personal data, may be transferred to — and maintained on — computers located outside of your state, province, country, or other governmental jurisdiction where the data protection laws may differ from those of your jurisdiction. For example, our use of Google services may involve data transfers to the United States.

If you are located outside the United States and choose to provide information to us, please note that we transfer the data, including Personal Data, to the United States and process it there. We ensure appropriate safeguards are in place for such transfers, such as relying on Standard Contractual Clauses approved by the European Commission, where applicable, or other legally recognized transfer mechanisms.

Children’s Privacy

Our website is not intended for individuals under the age of 16. We do not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from anyone under the age of 16. If you are a parent or guardian and you are aware that your child has provided us with Personal Data, please contact us. If we become aware that we have collected Personal Data from children without verification of parental consent, we take steps to remove that information from our servers.

We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page and updating the “Last Updated” date at the top of this Privacy Policy. We encourage you to review this Privacy Policy periodically for any changes. Changes to this Privacy Policy are effective when they are posted on this page.
