Privacy Policy

What happens to information when you read this site, email us, or subscribe to updates. Written to be read rather than skimmed past. Last changed 25 September 2026.

MyRobotDoc is the personal project of an individual in the United States, assisted by human reviewers and AI tools. We do not sell, rent or trade personal information, and there is no advertising profile of you here. If anything on this page is unclear, or you want to use one of the rights below, write to privacy@myrobotdoc.com.

Reading this site

No cookies, no analytics, no tracking scripts, no third-party embeds. We do not know who you are or which pages you read.
The typefaces are served from this site's own server, so reading a page here does not tell a font service anything about your visit.
The ad spaces on some pages are placeholders — a label and nothing else. What changes when real advertising arrives is under cookies and advertising below.
Our server keeps ordinary request logs — IP address, browser, the page requested — for security and to investigate abuse, and deletes them after 30 days. They are not used to build a picture of you, and they are never shared or sold.

If you email us

We receive your address and whatever you wrote, we read it, act on it, and reply. Nothing else is done with it.
A private email cannot become a published citation on this site: every claim here links to something anyone can open. If your message names something public, we capture and read it; if it does not, we may ask you to post it publicly and send us the link — that is the only route by which a private experience becomes a published finding.
We never publish your name or your email address. Reports reach our internal files through a person, or a tool run by a person — never automatically as mail arrives.

We hold your email address, which topics or models you asked to hear about, the date and time you agreed, and the country derived from your connection at that moment. The IP address itself is not stored.
Double opt-in: you are only subscribed after you click the link we email you. Until then the request is pending and expires by itself in 7–14 days.
Every email carries a one-click unsubscribe. Unsubscribing deletes the record — it is not a flag kept on something we continue to hold.

Why we are allowed to hold it

Subscriptions: your consent, which you can withdraw at any time by unsubscribing or by asking us.
Email, reader reports and server logs: our legitimate interest in answering you, keeping the site working, and stopping abuse.
None of it is used for advertising or profiling.

How long we keep it

Unsubscribe, a hard bounce, a spam complaint, or a request to delete: the record is deleted, promptly and completely.
Unconfirmed subscriptions expire by themselves in 7–14 days.
Server request logs: 30 days.
Mailbox messages are kept while they are useful. A data-protection question carries a legal clock, so nothing sits unread — and you can ask us to delete our correspondence with you at any time.
A deleted record may still exist briefly in our hosting provider's own automated backups of the server, until those backups rotate out. See the note under where it is held.

Where it is held

The subscriber database lives on a server we rent in the EU (Gravelines, France) and does not leave the EU. We deliberately keep no copy on our own machines.
Mailboxes are held in the EU by our mail provider — see the list below.
Important Note: our hosting provider takes automated backups of that server, and such a backup can hold a copy of a record for up to 7 days after it was deleted. Where the server is and where its backup archives are stored are two different questions, so we have asked the provider, in writing, to confirm the second one. Until they answer, this page does not claim a location for those archives — and it will say so when they do.

Who processes it

OVHcloud — the server that hosts this site and everything on it (France).
FranklyMail (Naylalabs Yazilim Ticaret Limited Sirketi) — our mailboxes. Mail is stored in the EU (Germany and the Netherlands), with nightly backups held in the Netherlands for 30 days. Administrative access is held by one person, in Türkiye: routine support works from account records and delivery logs without opening messages, content is opened only at our request, for a security incident or abuse, or where the law requires it, and every such opening is recorded in an access register we can ask about. The transfer is covered by the European Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses, Module Two, with Netherlands law and courts.
Mailjet (Sinch Email) — sends subscription emails. Data is stored in the EU (Google Cloud, Germany and Belgium); support access from the United States is covered by the same Standard Contractual Clauses and the EU–US Data Privacy Framework. Open and click tracking is deliberately switched off, and no email we send carries advertising.
Namecheap — domain registration and DNS. It does not see your email or what you read.
Not used: our mail provider also offers optional features whose data would go to the United States — an AI assistant and a domain-registration service. We use neither.

Our agreements with the mail providers give us at least 30 days' notice before a sub-processor changes, with the right to object.

Your rights

You can ask for a copy of what we hold about you, ask us to correct it, delete it, or stop using it, and withdraw consent at any time — withdrawing is as easy as unsubscribing.
Write to privacy@myrobotdoc.com. We answer within a month.
If you are in the EEA or the UK and you think we have got this wrong, you can complain to your national data protection authority. We would rather you told us first — we will fix what we can, and say so on the corrections page.

Cookies and advertising

Today there are no cookies at all, and no advertising. The ad spaces you may see carry a label and nothing else.
When advertising is switched on it will be Google's, and it will reach visitors in the EEA and the UK only through Google's certified consent platform — which asks before it sets anything, and which you can refuse. Visitors elsewhere see no consent banner.
This page will be updated before that happens, not after.

How this site is written, and how this page changes

What we publish, how a fact earns its place, and what role AI plays in the writing of it, is set out under how this site is made. The short version: every fact is checked by a person against a source that person has read in full, and nothing publishes on a machine's word.

If we change how your information is handled, we say so here, dated — the date at the top of this page is the last time it changed. Nothing here reduces a right you already have under the GDPR; if the two ever conflict, your rights win.
