Paris AI™ Organization (“Paris AI,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) respects privacy and aims to handle personal information in a transparent and proportionate way. This Privacy Policy explains the types of personal information that may be processed when you use parisai.org, contact us, receive communications, or otherwise interact with our public website and research content.
1. Scope
This Policy applies to the Paris AI public website, contact forms, newsletter or institutional communications if offered, event or research-interest registrations if offered, and related website operations. Specific research projects, collaborations, employment processes, events, or third-party services may be governed by additional notices or agreements.
2. Information we collect
We may collect information you choose to provide, such as your name, email address, organization, professional role, area of interest, correspondence, and any information included in an inquiry. We may also receive limited technical information generated when you use the website, including IP address, browser and device information, operating system, referring pages, timestamps, approximate location derived from IP address, and security or server logs.
If we introduce newsletter, event, research-network, or registration functions, we may collect the information necessary to administer those activities. We do not intend to collect sensitive personal information through general website forms unless it is specifically requested for a defined purpose.
3. How we use information
We may use personal information to respond to inquiries; evaluate research, collaboration, media, or institutional requests; operate, maintain, and secure the website; communicate about research or organizational activity where appropriate; understand website performance; prevent misuse; maintain records; and comply with applicable legal obligations.
Where required by applicable law, processing may rely on consent, contractual necessity, legitimate interests in operating and protecting our research activities and website, or compliance with legal obligations.
4. Cookies, analytics, and similar technologies
The website may use essential cookies or similar technologies needed for security, preferences, content delivery, or basic operation. If analytics, embedded media, or other non-essential technologies are enabled, they may collect information about how visitors use the site. Where legally required, consent mechanisms should be used before non-essential cookies or similar technologies are activated.
Third-party video, media, analytics, content-delivery, or security services may set or read their own identifiers subject to their respective terms and privacy practices.
5. Service providers and disclosure
We may share information with service providers that support hosting, website administration, security, communications, analytics, form delivery, file storage, or other operational functions. Providers should receive only the information reasonably necessary to perform their services.
Information may also be disclosed when reasonably necessary to comply with law, respond to lawful requests, protect rights or security, investigate misuse, or support a reorganization or transfer involving the website or organization. Paris AI does not sell personal information to advertisers.
6. Retention and security
We aim to retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, including legitimate recordkeeping, security, research-administration, and legal needs. Retention periods may vary by context.
We use reasonable administrative and technical measures intended to protect information. No internet transmission, website, or storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
7. Your privacy rights
Depending on where you live, you may have rights to request access to personal information, correction, deletion, restriction, portability, or objection to certain processing, and to withdraw consent where processing relies on consent. You may also have the right to lodge a complaint with an applicable data-protection authority.
Requests will be evaluated in accordance with applicable law and may require reasonable verification of identity.
8. International processing
Website infrastructure and service providers may process information in countries other than the country where you are located. Where required, appropriate safeguards should be used for cross-border processing of personal information.
9. Children
The public website is not directed to young children, and we do not knowingly seek to collect personal information from children through general website forms. If you believe a child has provided personal information inappropriately, please contact us through the website.
10. Third-party links and embedded content
Paris AI research and website pages may link to or embed third-party resources. Those services operate under their own privacy practices, and this Policy does not govern their handling of information.
11. Changes to this Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy as the website, research activities, services, or legal requirements evolve. The “Last updated” date indicates the latest revision.
Translation service
When you choose the French-language view, the website loads a third-party translation service to translate rendered page content. That service may receive technical information ordinarily transmitted when a browser requests an external web resource, such as your IP address, browser information, and the page content required to provide the translation. The translation service is not loaded for visitors who remain in the default English view.
12. Contact
Questions or privacy requests can be submitted through the Paris AI contact page. Please provide enough information for us to understand and respond to your request.
