Privacy Policy

Privacy Policy for Potential.com and its Subdomains

The privacy of our visitors to Potential.com and its subdomains is important to us. At Potential.com and its subdomains, we recognize that the privacy of your personal information is important. Here is information on what types of personal information we receive and collect when you use and visit our sites, and how we safeguard your information. We never sell your personal information to third parties.

Log Files

As with most other websites, we collect and use the data contained in log files. The information in the log files includes your IP (internet protocol) address, your ISP (internet service provider, such as AOL or Shaw Cable), the browser you used to visit our sites (such as Internet Explorer or Firefox), the time you visited our sites, and which pages you visited throughout our sites.

Cookies and Web Beacons

We do use cookies to store information, such as your personal preferences when you visit our sites. This could include only showing you a popup once in your visit or the ability to log in to some of our features, such as forums. We also use third-party advertisements on Potential.com and its subdomains to support our sites. Some of these advertisers may use technology such as cookies and web beacons when they advertise on our sites, which will also send these advertisers (such as Google through the Google AdSense program) information including your IP address, your ISP, the browser you used to visit our sites, and, in some cases, whether you have Flash installed. This is generally used for geotargeting purposes (showing New York real estate ads to someone in New York, for example) or showing certain ads based on specific sites visited (such as showing cooking ads to someone who frequents cooking sites).

DoubleClick DART cookies

We also may use DART cookies for ad serving through Google’s DoubleClick, which places a cookie on your computer when you are browsing the web and visit a site using DoubleClick advertising (including some Google AdSense advertisements). This cookie is used to serve ads specific to you and your interests ("interest-based targeting"). The ads served will be targeted based on your previous browsing history (For example, if you have been viewing sites about visiting Las Vegas, you may see Las Vegas hotel advertisements when viewing a non-related site, such as on a site about hockey). DART uses "non personally identifiable information". It does NOT track personal information about you, such as your name, email address, physical address, telephone number, social security numbers, bank account numbers, or credit card numbers. You can choose to disable or selectively turn off our cookies or third-party cookies in your browser settings, or by managing preferences in programs such as Norton Internet Security. However, this can affect how you are able to interact with our sites as well as other websites. This could include the inability to log in to services or programs, such as logging into forums or accounts. Deleting cookies does not mean you are permanently opted out of any advertising program. Unless you have settings that disallow cookies, the next time you visit a site running the advertisements, a new cookie will be added.

How Your Personal Information May Be Used

Potential.com and its subdomains collect non-personally identifying information of the sort that web browsers and servers typically make available, such as the browser type, language preference, referring site, and the date and time of each visitor request. Our purpose in collecting this information is to better understand how visitors use our websites. Potential.com and its subdomains do not rent or sell your personally identifiable information to third parties. We may, however, share your information with third parties when we are authorized to share such information.

Third-Party Integrations

To enhance your experience on Potential.com and its subdomains, we use third-party services like OpenAI, Anthropic, HubSpot, and Mailchimp. These services may collect and process your information as part of their integration. We ensure that these third parties are compliant with relevant privacy regulations and that they take appropriate measures to safeguard your information.

Data Exchange with OpenAI

We share a specific set of data with OpenAI to ensure proper and humanlike conversations. This data includes the end user's query, prompt, and domain knowledge, which is sent to and stored in OpenAI's database for a maximum period of 30 days. After this period, the data is permanently deleted. It is important to note that this data is not used for training OpenAI's models, ensuring the privacy and security of your data.

Single Sign-On (SSO)

Potential.com and its subdomains provide Single Sign-On (SSO) functionality to streamline your login experience. When you use SSO, you will be directed to a third-party authentication service such as Google, Facebook, or another SSO provider, which will authenticate your identity and provide you with access to our sites. These third-party providers may collect and process your personal information according to their own privacy policies. We ensure that our SSO providers comply with relevant privacy regulations and take appropriate measures to safeguard your information.

Use of Google User Data

Our use of Google user data is limited to the practices disclosed in this Privacy Policy and conforms with Google’s Limited Use requirements. When you use Google SSO to access our platform, we collect and use Google user data such as display name, email, and first name to create your user account on our platform. We only use Google user data for the purposes explicitly stated in this policy and do not share this data with unauthorized third parties. We do not use Google user data for serving advertisements or for creating user profiles without your consent. Your data is handled securely and is only used to provide you with the services you request. If you have any questions or concerns about our use of your Google user data, please contact us directly.

Potential.com and its subdomains use Mailchimp, Sendy, and HubSpot as e-mail service providers. They are used to collect contact information, distribute our newsletter, and track actions you take that assist us in measuring the performance of the website and newsletters. At any time, you may be removed from our newsletter list by clicking on the unsubscribe button provided in each e-mail.
