About us
Heardfirst (“we”, “us” or “our”) operates the website at https://heardfirst.ai (the “Site”). This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use and disclose information we receive from people who visit or use the Site.
We use the information described here to operate, maintain and improve the Site. By using the Site, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy.
Information collection and use
You can browse the Site without telling us who you are. We may ask you to provide personal information that can be used to contact or identify you, such as your name, email address, company name or company website (“Personal Information”), for example when you contact us or ask us to consider a company for a future edition.
The company submission tool on the Site prepares a brief in your browser for you to copy. It does not send or store the information you enter. If you choose to send that brief to us, we will use it to review your submission and respond to you.
We do not sell your Personal Information.
Log data
Like most websites, the Site receives information that your browser sends whenever you visit (“Log Data”). Log Data may include your device's Internet Protocol (“IP”) address, browser type and version, the pages you visit, the date and time of your visit, the referring page and other diagnostic information.
We use service providers to host and deliver the Site, and they process Log Data on our behalf to serve pages, keep the Site secure and diagnose errors. The Site is hosted on Cloudflare. Typefaces on the Site are loaded from Google Fonts, which means your browser sends a request, including your IP address, to Google's servers when a page loads.
We may also use third-party analytics services, such as Google Analytics, that collect, monitor and analyze Log Data to help us understand how the Site is used. These services are governed by their own privacy policies.
Communications
If you give us your contact details, we may use them to respond to you and, where you have agreed to receive them, to send newsletters, editorial updates or other information we believe is relevant to your interests. You can opt out of marketing messages at any time by following the unsubscribe instructions in the message or by contacting us.
Cookies
Cookies are small data files, which may include an anonymous unique identifier, that a website sends to your browser and that are stored on your device. Like many websites, we may use cookies and similar technologies to operate the Site, remember preferences and understand how the Site is used.
You can set your browser to refuse all cookies or to tell you when a cookie is being sent. If you do not accept cookies, some parts of the Site may not work as intended.
Links to other websites
The Site links to websites operated by the companies we profile and by other third parties. We do not control those websites and are not responsible for their content or privacy practices. We encourage you to read the privacy policy of every website you visit.
Security
We take the security of your information seriously and use commercially reasonable measures to protect it. The Site is served only over encrypted HTTPS connections. However, no method of transmission over the internet or method of electronic storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
Children's privacy
The Site is intended for business readers and is not directed to 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 and we will delete it.
Changes to this Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy is effective as of November 9, 2026. We may update it from time to time, and any changes take effect when the revised policy is posted on this page with a new “Last updated” date.
Please check this page periodically. Your continued use of the Site after we post changes means you acknowledge the updated policy. If we make material changes, we will place a prominent notice on the Site and, where we have your email address, may also notify you by email.

If you have questions about this Privacy Policy or would like to access, correct or delete Personal Information you have shared with us, email us at privacy@heardfirst.ai.
