1. Overview & Privacy Commitment
SPIDITS ("we," "our," or "us") operates spidits.com as a compliance-first AI and startup intelligence platform. We are committed to maintaining transparent data processing practices and safeguarding visitor privacy. This policy outlines how information is collected, stored, and utilized when you browse our timelines, glossaries, and market intelligence indexes.
2. On-Device Storage & Local Preferences
SPIDITS is architected to minimize server-side personal data collection. We store user preferences (such as light/dark mode themes and local bookmarks) locally in your browser's Web Storage API (`localStorage`). This data remains stored exclusively on your device and is never transmitted, harvested, or monetized by SPIDITS.
3. Google AdSense & Third-Party Advertising Cookies
We use Google AdSense to serve advertisements on SPIDITS. Google, as a third-party advertising vendor, uses cookies (including the DoubleClick DART cookie) to serve relevant ads based on users' previous visits to our website or other sites across the internet.
- Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on a user's prior visits to SPIDITS or other websites.
- Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads based on your visit to SPIDITS and/or other sites on the Internet.
- Users may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings.

4. External Links & Publisher Attribution
Our market intelligence platform references third-party news sources, tech blogs, and academic research papers. Clicking on an article headline or external source link redirects you to the original publisher's domain. Third-party websites operate under independent privacy policies, terms, and tracking cookies. SPIDITS enforces privacy-preserving HTTP link headers (such as `no-referrer`) to protect your origin request headers when navigating to external source sites.
