Privacy Policy

Cited Inc. (dba Cited) ("Cited," "Cited," "we," "our," or "us") respects your privacy and is committed to protecting the personal information you share with us. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and protect information through our websites youcited.com and https://youcited.com and any related services (collectively, the "Site").

1. Information We Collect

We collect limited personal information when you interact with our Site or contact us directly. This may include:

Name
Company Name
Email Address
Phone Number

We also automatically collect non-identifiable information such as browser type, device information, and usage statistics through Google Analytics.

2. How We Use Your Information

Respond to inquiries and provide customer support.
Improve, maintain, and optimize our Site.
Communicate with you about our services, offerings, and updates.
Analyze Site traffic and usage trends.

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties.

3. Use of Cookies and Analytics

We use Google Analytics to help us understand how visitors use our Site. Google Analytics uses cookies to collect information such as pages visited, time spent, and referring websites. You can learn more about how Google uses your data here:

https://policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites

You may disable cookies through your browser settings, though some parts of the Site may not function properly if you do.

4. How We Share Information

We may share information only when necessary to:

Comply with legal obligations or law-enforcement requests.
Protect the rights, property, or safety of Cited, our users, or others.
Work with trusted service providers (e.g., analytics platforms or IT vendors) who help us operate our Site and are bound by confidentiality obligations.

5. MCP Integrations & AI Assistant Data

Cited offers an MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that allows AI assistants such as Claude, ChatGPT, and similar tools to interact with our platform on your behalf. When you use an MCP integration:

Data you submit through the AI assistant — including business names, URLs, and audit parameters — is transmitted to Cited's servers to fulfill your requests.
The AI assistant provider (e.g., Anthropic, OpenAI) may collect metadata about tool calls, including parameter names and values, as part of their own telemetry and product-improvement processes. This collection is governed by the assistant provider's privacy policy, not ours.
Cited does not control or have access to telemetry collected by third-party AI assistant providers.
Audit results, recommendations, and other data returned through MCP integrations are subject to the same data-retention and security practices described in this Policy.

We recommend reviewing the privacy policy of any AI assistant you use with Cited's MCP server to understand how your data may be processed by that provider.

6. Data Retention

We retain personal information only as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this Policy, comply with legal requirements, or resolve disputes.

7. Data Security

We maintain administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect your information from unauthorized access, alteration, or disclosure. However, no online system is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute protection.

8. Your Rights

Depending on your jurisdiction (e.g., under GDPR or CCPA), you may have the right to:

Access, correct, or delete your personal information.
Object to or restrict processing of your data.
Request data portability.

To exercise these rights, contact us at [email protected]. We will respond in accordance with applicable laws.

9. International Users

If you access the Site from outside the United States, you consent to the transfer and processing of your information in the U.S., which may have different data-protection laws than your country.

10. Updates to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or legal requirements. The revised version will be posted with an updated “Last Updated” date.
