Last Updated: August 2026
This Privacy & GDPR Notice applies specifically to the aiVIP — AI Visibility Improvement Programme and AI & Search Visibility Scanner, operated by Carl Henry Global (“CHG”).
It should be read together with the wider Carl Henry Global Privacy Policy & GDPR Compliance notice.
1. Information We Collect
When you use the aiVIP Scanner, we may collect information that you provide directly, including:
First name and, where provided, last name;
Email address;
Public website address;
Answers you provide to the business-context questionnaire;
Consent choices relating to the assessment, email delivery and optional communications.
The scanner also collects technical evidence from publicly accessible resources associated with the website address you submit. This may include information such as page metadata, headings, structured data, robots.txt, sitemap information, AI-related discovery files and other publicly available website signals used by the assessment.
Technical information associated with use of the service, such as IP address, timestamps and operational/security logs, may also be processed where reasonably necessary for security, abuse prevention and operation of the service.
2. How We Use Your Information
We use information collected through aiVIP to:
Perform the website assessment you request;
Generate your AI and search visibility readiness results;
Provide recommendations based on observable evidence;
Display and, where requested, email your assessment;
Maintain records of assessments and consent;
Respond to enquiries about aiVIP products and services;
Improve the reliability and usefulness of the scanner;
Protect the service against misuse, automated abuse and security threats.
Where you separately choose to subscribe to the DIA AI Digital Intelligence Newsletter, your email address may also be used to send those communications.
Newsletter consent is optional and may be withdrawn at any time.
3. Public Website Assessment
aiVIP assesses publicly accessible website resources associated with the website address submitted by the user.
The scanner is designed to make bounded requests to public website resources for the purpose of assessing observable AI and search visibility readiness signals.
The assessment does not require access to private website administration areas, passwords or confidential business systems.
You should only submit a website where you are authorised to request the assessment or otherwise have a legitimate reason to assess the publicly available website.
4. Assessment Results
Assessment results may include the submitted website address, observable technical findings, questionnaire responses, readiness scores, recommendations, timestamps and scanner/rule version information.
Questionnaire answers are user-provided information and are not necessarily independently verified by aiVIP.
5. Cookies, Analytics and Measurement
CHG may use cookies or privacy-compliant analytics to understand how the aiVIP service is used and to improve its performance.
Where consent is legally required for non-essential analytics or tracking, such technologies should only be activated following the appropriate consent.
You can also control cookies through your browser settings.
6. Data Security
CHG takes reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect information processed by aiVIP, including secure HTTPS transmission and controlled storage and administration.
No Internet-based service can guarantee absolute security.
Payment card or account information used to purchase aiVIP products is handled by the relevant payment provider, such as PayPal. aiVIP does not require payment card information to be stored within the scanner database.
7. Sharing and Service Providers
CHG does not sell your personal information.
Information may be processed by service providers where reasonably necessary to operate the service, including website hosting, email delivery, analytics and payment-processing providers.
Such providers process information subject to their respective contractual, privacy and security arrangements.
8. Data Retention
Assessment, lead and consent records may be retained for up to 12 months, unless a longer period is required for a legitimate legal, contractual, accounting or security purpose.
Records that are no longer required should be deleted or anonymised in accordance with CHG's applicable data-retention procedures.
9. Your Rights
Subject to applicable data-protection law, you may have rights including access, correction, deletion, restriction, portability and objection to certain processing.
You may also withdraw optional marketing consent at any time.
