Privacy Policy

This policy explains what limited information may be processed when you visit AI Hippo (“the site”), and additional notices that apply when third-party ads (such as Google) are shown. By using the site you acknowledge this policy; if you disagree, please stop using the site or adjust your browser and ad settings.

Who we are

AI Hippo is an independently operated static information site focused on AI models, open-source ecosystems, leaderboards, and trends. The site does not rely on logged-in accounts for core browsing.

Information we may process

The static site does not ask you to register a profile. Typical operational data may include:

• server or CDN access logs (e.g., approximate IP, user agent, time, and path) for security and reliability;

• technical information sent automatically by your browser;

• if embedded third-party services run (ads, analytics, fonts), those providers may process cookies, device identifiers, or similar technologies under their policies.

We do not ask for your legal name or home address to read leaderboards.

Cookies and similar technologies

The site or third parties (including advertising partners) may use cookies or similar technologies to deliver or measure ads, reduce fraud, or remember preferences or frequency caps. You can block or delete cookies in your browser; some features or ad experiences may change.

Google advertising and AdSense

The site may use third-party advertising services such as Google AdSense. Google may use cookies to serve ads based on your visits to this site and others. Google’s use of information is governed by Google’s policies.

You can manage personalized ads via Google Ads Settings (e.g. https://adssettings.google.com/authenticated ). For full terms, see Google’s Privacy Policy at https://policies.google.com/privacy and how Google uses cookies in advertising at https://policies.google.com/technologies/ads .

How we use information

We may use the limited data above to operate and secure the site, understand aggregate traffic, comply with legal obligations, and (where applicable) deliver and measure advertising. We do not sell access logs as a contact list for unrelated telemarketing.

Third-party links

The site links to GitHub, Hugging Face, papers, and vendor pages; each has its own privacy policy. After you leave AI Hippo, your information is governed by those sites.

Children

The site is intended for a general and professional audience and is not directed at children under 13 (or the higher age required in your jurisdiction). If you believe we have inadvertently processed a child’s information, please contact us.

Updates and contact

We may update this page from time to time; material changes will be noted here or communicated in another reasonable way. Continued use means you accept the updated policy.

Questions about this privacy policy can be sent via the email listed on the Contact page.
