Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how gemma4.com ("we", "us", or "the Site") collects, uses, and shares information about you when you visit this website. We respect your privacy and aim to keep data collection to the minimum needed to operate and improve the Site.

1. Information we collect

We collect two kinds of information:

• Information you provide. If you contact us by email or fill in a form, we receive whatever you send us (for example, your name, email address, and message).
• Information collected automatically. When you visit the Site, your browser automatically sends technical data such as your IP address, user-agent string, referring URL, language, and the pages you view. This is logged by our web server and used for analytics, security, and abuse prevention.

2. Cookies and analytics

We use Google Analytics (gtag.js) to understand how visitors use the Site. Google Analytics sets cookies on your device that allow it to recognise returning visitors and aggregate anonymous usage statistics. The information generated by these cookies (including a truncated IP address) is transmitted to and stored by Google. You can opt out of Google Analytics tracking by installing the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on.

You can also block or delete cookies through your browser settings at any time. Doing so will not break the Site.

3. How we use your information

We use the information described above to:

• Operate, maintain, and secure the Site;
• Understand how visitors find and use our content so we can improve it;
• Respond to messages and questions you send us;
• Comply with legal obligations and enforce our Terms of Use.

4. How we share information

We do not sell your personal information. We share data only with:

• Service providers that help us run the Site (for example, hosting and analytics providers like Google), bound by their own privacy commitments;
• Authorities when required by law, legal process, or to protect our rights, safety, or property.

5. Data retention

Server logs are kept for a limited period for security and operational analysis, then rotated and deleted. Analytics data is retained according to Google's default retention settings. Messages you send us are kept for as long as needed to respond to you.

6. Your rights

Depending on where you live, you may have rights under applicable laws (such as the GDPR or CCPA) to access, correct, delete, or restrict the processing of your personal information, and to object to certain uses. To exercise these rights, contact us at the address below. We will respond within the time required by law.

7. Children

The Site is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us so we can delete it.

8. Third-party links

This Site contains links to third-party websites and services (for example, Google AI Studio, Vertex AI, Hugging Face, Kaggle, Ollama). We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those services. Please review their own privacy policies.

9. Disclaimer of affiliation

gemma4.com is an independent informational website. It is not operated by, endorsed by, or affiliated with Google LLC, Google DeepMind, or Alphabet Inc. All product names, logos, and brands are property of their respective owners.
