Privacy policy — NotebookLM Reference

This policy applies to visitors of the notebooklm.gr.com website. NotebookLM Reference is an independent reference project about Google's AI research tool. We are not affiliated with Google, Alphabet, or any entity that operates the product itself. This policy covers only our site's data practices — not Google's. For information on how Google handles data in its AI research tool, see the data and privacy page on this site or consult Google's own privacy documentation directly.

What data we collect

We do not operate user accounts, forms, or any mechanism for collecting personally identifiable information directly. No name, email address, or payment information is collected or stored by this site. You can read every page on this site without submitting any personal data.

The site uses anonymous analytics to understand aggregate traffic patterns — pages visited, approximate geographic region, device type, and referral source. This data is collected in aggregate form and cannot be used to identify individual visitors. No cross-site tracking of individual users is performed by this site.

If you contact us via the email address on the contact page, the information you include in your message — typically your name and email address — is used solely to respond to your enquiry. It is not added to any mailing list, shared with third parties, or retained beyond the resolution of the conversation.

Cookies

This site uses a minimal set of cookies. A single session cookie may be set by the web server for technical reasons (such as load balancing); it contains no personal information and expires when you close your browser. If an analytics provider is used, it may set its own cookies consistent with its privacy policy. No advertising cookies, tracking pixels, or social media tracking scripts are loaded on this site.

You can disable cookies in your browser settings. Disabling cookies will not affect your ability to read any content on this site — no features require cookies to function.

Third-party fonts

This site loads font files from Google Fonts (fonts.googleapis.com and fonts.gstatic.com). When your browser requests these font files, Google's servers may log the request, which could include your IP address. This is standard behaviour for any site that uses externally hosted fonts. Google's Fonts privacy documentation is the authoritative source on how those requests are handled. We use the display=swap loading pattern to minimise any performance impact of the font load.

Data storage and retention

We do not operate a database of user data. Aggregate analytics data is retained for the period needed to understand site performance trends, typically 12 months, after which it is deleted or anonymised further. Email correspondence is retained for as long as it is relevant to an active enquiry and deleted thereafter.

The site is hosted on infrastructure located within the European Economic Area or operated by providers with EEA-standard data handling commitments. No personal data collected by this site is transferred to jurisdictions with weaker data protection standards without appropriate safeguards.

Your rights

You have the right to request confirmation of whether we hold any personal data about you, to request a copy of any such data, to request its correction or deletion, and to object to its processing. Given that we do not collect personal data through ordinary site visits, the most common exercise of these rights will relate to email correspondence. To exercise any right, contact us at the address on the contact page.

The FTC's consumer technology guidance provides a useful plain-language overview of your rights when interacting with websites, including how to evaluate privacy policies and what questions to ask when a site's data practices are unclear.

Children

This site is not directed at children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect any data from children. If you believe a child has submitted personal information through this site, contact us and we will delete it promptly.

Policy updates

This policy may be updated periodically. When material changes are made, the date at the top of the policy will be updated. Continued use of the site after an update constitutes acceptance of the revised policy. We encourage you to review this page occasionally if you are a regular visitor.

Contact

Questions about this policy or requests to exercise your data rights can be directed to us via the contact page. We respond to all privacy-related enquiries within five business days. We do not operate a phone desk; all contact is via written correspondence.
