Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy describes how Loyal9 LLC ("we," "us," or "our") collects, uses, and protects information when you use the CI Seed Map platform ("Service") located at poweredby.ci.
1. Information We Collect
1.1 Age Verification
We require users to confirm they are 21 years of age or older before accessing the Service. We store only the confirmation status (yes/no) — we do not collect your actual date of birth.
1.2 Session Identifiers
Upon age verification, a unique session identifier is generated and stored temporarily in your browser. This identifier is used solely to manage your time-limited access to our data services. Session identifiers expire automatically and are not linked to any personally identifiable information.
1.3 Analytics (Google Analytics)
We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors interact with the Service. Google Analytics collects:
- Pages visited and time spent
- Device type, browser, and operating system
- Approximate geographic location (city/region level)
- Referral source
This data is aggregated and anonymized. We do not use Google Analytics to identify individual users. For more information, see Google's Privacy Policy.
1.4 Cookies
The Service uses the following cookies:
- Session cookie — stores your age verification status and session identifier. Expires at end of session or after the time-limited access window.
- Google Analytics cookies (_ga, _gid) — used for analytics purposes. Expire after 2 years and 24 hours respectively.
2. How We Use Information
- To verify age eligibility for access
- To manage time-limited data access sessions
- To analyze aggregate usage patterns and improve the Service
- To protect our proprietary data from unauthorized access or scraping
3. Information We Do NOT Collect
- Names, email addresses, or phone numbers (unless voluntarily submitted via contact forms)
- Payment information
- Precise geolocation (the "Locate Me" feature runs entirely in your browser and is never transmitted to our servers)
4. Data Sharing
We do not sell, trade, or rent your information to third parties. Aggregated, non-identifying analytics data may be used internally for business decisions.
5. Data Retention
- Session identifiers are ephemeral and expire automatically.
- Google Analytics data is retained per Google's default retention settings (14 months).
- Contact form submissions are retained only as long as necessary to respond.
6. Your Rights
You may:
- Clear cookies at any time through your browser settings
- Opt out of Google Analytics using the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on
- Contact us to request deletion of any voluntarily submitted information
7. Children's Privacy
The Service is intended for users aged 21 and older. We do not knowingly collect information from anyone under 21. If we become aware that we have collected data from a minor, we will delete it immediately.
8. Security
We implement industry-standard security measures including API rate limiting, time-limited access tokens, and encrypted data transmission (HTTPS) to protect our Service and your session data.
9. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated "Last updated" date. Continued use of the Service constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
