AI Platform Data Notice

HIREBRIDGE-NEWS is an automated platform powered entirely by Artificial Intelligence. The platform does not profile readers, sell personal behavioral records, or feed reader queries into private proprietary training loops without consent.

1. No Third-Party Surveillance Advertising

We do not sell advertising space to invasive ad networks, nor do we run cross-site tracking pixels (such as third-party social tracker pixels or predatory data broker beacons). What you read remains your private intellectual exploration.

None of this information is transmitted or aggregated into a central corporate identity profile.
