Privacy Policy
Last updated: February 15, 2025
MonkeysCMS ("we," "us," or "our") operates the monkeyscms.com website. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect information when you visit our site or interact with our services, including our AI-powered features.
1. Information We Collect
We aim to collect the minimum data necessary to provide and improve our services. The information we collect falls into the following categories:
- Usage data — pages visited, time on site, referring URL, browser type, device information, and general geographic region (country/city level).
- AI Playground inputs — content you type into the AI Playground feature (see Section 3 for details).
- Cookie preferences — your consent choice stored locally in your browser.
We do not collect your name, email address, or other personally identifiable information through this website unless you voluntarily provide it (e.g., by contacting us).
2. Cookies & Analytics
We use Google Analytics 4 (measurement ID: G-GFK41CNCFS) to understand how visitors use our website. Google Analytics sets cookies on your device to collect anonymized usage data.
What cookies are used?
| Cookie | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| _ga | Distinguishes unique visitors | 2 years |
| _ga_* | Maintains session state | 2 years |
Your consent
Analytics cookies are loaded only after you accept the cookie consent banner. If you decline, no analytics cookies are set and no data is sent to Google. You can change your preference at any time by clearing your browser's local storage or clicking the "Reset Cookie Preferences" option below.
3. Use of Artificial Intelligence
Our website includes an AI Playground feature that lets you generate sample CMS content structures. This feature is powered by self-hosted AI models, including DeepSeek and Llama 3.1, running on our own infrastructure.
How AI data is handled
- When you use the AI Playground, the text you enter is processed by our self-hosted AI models. No third-party AI services are involved.
- We do not store, log, or retain any inputs or outputs from the AI Playground.
- Inputs are processed in real time and discarded immediately after the response is generated.
- Your data never leaves our infrastructure — it is not sent to any external AI provider.
AI training
We do not use your AI Playground inputs to train, fine-tune, or improve any AI models. The feature is provided as a demonstration tool only.
4. How We Use Your Information
We use the information collected through analytics to:
- Understand which pages and features are most useful
- Improve website performance and content
- Monitor general traffic patterns and geographic distribution
- Identify and fix technical issues
5. Data Sharing & Third Parties
We share data only with the following third-party service, strictly for the purposes described above:
- Google Analytics — anonymized website usage data (only when you consent to cookies).
The AI Playground runs entirely on our own self-hosted models (DeepSeek and Llama 3.1). Your AI inputs are not sent to any third-party service.
We do not sell, rent, or trade your data to any third parties.
6. Your Rights & Choices
You have the right to:
- Decline cookies — use the consent banner to refuse analytics tracking.
- Reset cookie preferences — clear your choice and see the consent banner again.
- Opt out of Google Analytics — install the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
- Not use the AI Playground — the feature is entirely optional.
7. Data Retention
Google Analytics data is retained for 14 months, after which it is automatically deleted. We do not maintain any additional data stores for visitor information. Cookie consent preferences are stored only in your browser's local storage and can be cleared at any time.
8. Children's Privacy
This website is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us so we can address the situation.
