Privacy policy

Who we are

Local AI Advisor (iownchatgpt.com) is an independent project. For anything on this page, including deletion requests, email Mailme@himal.info.np.

If you just browse

• No account needed. The recommendation tools run with the choices you make on the page. They are kept in the page address so you can share a result; we don’t store them on our servers.
• Settings stay in your browser. Your theme, which lessons you have finished and your last Hugging Face lookup settings are saved in your browser’s local storage. They never leave your device, and clearing your browser data removes them.
• Server and network logs. Like any website, our hosting provider (Hostinger) and its content delivery network receive your IP address, browser type and the pages you request in order to deliver and protect the site. We also keep a short-lived, in-memory request count per IP address to stop abuse of the Hugging Face lookup; it is not written to disk.
• Hugging Face lookups. When you check a Hugging Face model, our server asks Hugging Face’s public API for that model’s files. Hugging Face sees the request from our server, not from you.

Analytics and advertising (Google)

We use Google Analytics to understand which pages are useful, and Google AdSense to show ads that pay for the site. Both are run by Google and use cookies or similar identifiers on your device.

• Google Analytics records pages viewed, approximate location, device and browser details, and how you arrived. We see only aggregated reports.
• Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this and other websites. Google’s advertising cookies let it and its partners serve ads based on those visits.
• You can opt out of personalized advertising in Google’s Ads Settings, or opt out of some third-party vendors’ use of cookies at aboutads.info.
• Learn more in how Google uses information from sites that use its services. You can block Analytics with Google’s opt-out browser add-on.

Our recommendations are never paid for. Ads don’t influence which models or computers we rate well.

If you sign in with Google

Signing in is optional. It lets you save computers and results and get alerts about new models. When you sign in, we store:

• Your name, email address, profile picture link and Google account ID, as provided by Google.
• The sign-in tokens Google issues for this connection. We only ask Google for your basic profile, so they can’t read your email, files or contacts.
• A signed session cookie in your browser that keeps you logged in.
• Anything you choose to save: computers (“rigs”), saved results, and when you last looked at new-model alerts.

This data is stored in our database at our hosting provider and is used only to run your account. We don’t sell it or share it with advertisers.

Community speed reports

If you submit a speed measurement, we store the computer, model, settings, speeds and any note you write, linked to your account so we can moderate it. Reports are shown publicly and used to calibrate our estimates, without your name or email. Please don’t put personal information in the note.

How long we keep data, and your choices

• Saved computers and results stay until you delete them. You can do that yourself on your account page.
• To delete your whole account, including your speed reports, or to get a copy of your data, email Mailme@himal.info.np from the address you signed in with. We do it within 30 days.
• You can also remove Local AI Advisor’s access at any time in your Google Account under “Third-party apps & services”.

Children

The site is not aimed at children under 13, and we don’t knowingly collect their personal information.

Changes

If we change what we collect, we will update this page and the date at the top.
