Privacy
Effective 30 October 2026
This page says what aiwithlarry.com keeps about you, why, who processes it, how long it's kept, and how to make us stop. The short version: we keep your email address to send you guides, we don't sell it or use it for ads, and you can unsubscribe or have everything erased.
Who we are
AI with Larry (aiwithlarry.com) is run by IB Digital Solutions LLC, a limited liability company licensed by the Sharjah Media City (SHAMS) Free Zone, licence no. 2542792.01, Shams Business Center, Sharjah Media City Free Zone, Al Messaned, Sharjah, United Arab Emirates. It is the controller of your personal data, called “we” on this page. Larry Bezrukov writes the guides.
For anything on this page, write to hello@larrybezrukov.com. We haven't appointed a data protection officer, because the law doesn't require one for what we do.
What this covers
This website, the emails it sends, buying a paid guide, and email you send us. Polar's checkout pages and the tools our guides link to run under their own policies.
What we keep and why
Each part below is one thing the site does. “Legal basis” names the EU and UK GDPR basis, then the basis under the UAE Personal Data Protection Law (Federal Decree-Law 45 of 2021, the PDPL). Your email address is the only thing you have to give us, and only if you want a guide by email.
Getting a guide by email
- What: Your email address, and the guide, section and link tag (for example
?src=youtube) you came from. While the sign-in link is waiting, a hashed copy of its one-time token. - Why: Send you the sign-in link, create your account and open the guide.
- Legal basis: Doing what you asked (GDPR Art. 6(1)(b); under the UAE PDPL, steps you requested).
- Kept for: Your account stays until you ask us to delete it. A sign-in link works once, for 15 minutes; an unused one is deleted within a day after it expires.
New free guides by email
- What: That you agreed, the exact sentence you saw (version 2026-10-29: “You'll also get new free guides by email. Unsubscribe anytime.”), when, and where you signed up. Your address on our mailing list, marked subscribed or unsubscribed. Our emails carry no tracking pixels, and we don't track clicks on their links.
- Why: Email you new free guides, and be able to show that you agreed.
- Legal basis: Your consent. The sentence sits beside the button you press to get a guide, so asking for a guide includes it. You can unsubscribe straight after and keep the guide.
- Kept for: The consent record stays with your account. After you unsubscribe, we keep your address marked unsubscribed so you aren't emailed again.
Staying signed in
- What: A session cookie, and with the session the IP address and browser it started from.
- Why: Keep the guides you unlocked open on this device.
- Legal basis: Doing what you asked (GDPR Art. 6(1)(b); PDPL, steps you requested).
- Kept for: You stay signed in for 7 days after you sign in. The session record, with its IP address and browser, is deleted within about 8 days of your last visit.
Your guides
- What: Which guides you unlocked, when, the link tag you came from, and for a paid guide the order reference.
- Why: Show you the guides you have.
- Legal basis: Doing what you asked, and our contract when you buy (GDPR Art. 6(1)(b); PDPL).
- Kept for: Until you ask us to delete your account.
Buying a paid guide
- What: Polar, our merchant of record, collects your name, email, billing address, payment details and tax location at checkout. When you start a checkout, we send Polar your account ID and your IP address (for tax and fraud checks). We receive the order reference, Polar's customer ID for you, the product, and whether the order was paid or refunded. We never see your card.
- Why: Sell you the guide and give you access to it.
- Legal basis: Our contract with you (GDPR Art. 6(1)(b); PDPL). Polar also keeps tax records because the law requires it.
- Kept for: The order reference stays with your access. Polar keeps its own records under its privacy policy.
Keeping the sign-in form safe
- What: Your IP address with the form you sent, counted to limit sign-in requests (5 a minute). When you send a form, Vercel BotID checks signals from your browser to tell people from bots; Vercel says it stores no personal data from that check.
- Why: Stop automated abuse of the sign-in form and our email sending.
- Legal basis: Legitimate interests in a secure service (GDPR Art. 6(1)(f)); under the PDPL, needed to provide the service you asked for.
- Kept for: A request counter is deleted within 2 days after the last request from that IP address. We keep nothing from the BotID check beyond its pass or fail.
Visitor statistics
- What: The page you view (sign-in and unsubscribe pages without their tokens), the site that sent you, your country, and your device, browser and operating system types. No cookies. Vercel tells visits apart with a hash of the request and discards it after 24 hours.
- Why: Count visits per guide and see where readers come from.
- Legal basis: Legitimate interests in knowing which guides help (GDPR Art. 6(1)(f)); the reports don't identify you. You can turn statistics off on the Cookies page, and a Global Privacy Control signal turns them off too.
- Kept for: We only see totals. Vercel keeps them for our plan's 12-month reporting window.
Running the site
- What: Vercel's request logs: IP address, page, time and browser.
- Why: Deliver pages and find errors.
- Legal basis: Legitimate interests in running a working site (GDPR Art. 6(1)(f)); PDPL, needed to provide the site.
- Kept for: Vercel's short log window for our plan.
Email you send us
- What: What you write and our replies.
- Why: Answer you.
- Legal basis: Doing what you asked, and legitimate interests in keeping a record of what we told you (GDPR Art. 6(1)(b), (f); PDPL).
- Kept for: Up to 3 years after our last message, unless you ask us to delete it sooner.
Cookies
Our only cookie is the session cookie, set after you open a sign-in link. When you send a form, the bot check can set its own security cookies. Visitor statistics use no cookies. The full list, and the switch that turns statistics off, are on the Cookies page.
Who processes it for us
These companies process personal data on our instructions, under data processing terms with each of them.
| Company | What for | Where |
|---|---|---|
| Vercel | Hosting, request logs, visitor statistics, bot checks | United States, with a global edge network |
| Neon | The database that holds your account, consent and access records | United States (AWS, US East) |
| Resend | Sending our emails and keeping the mailing list | United States |
| Google Workspace | The inbox that receives your email to us | United States and other countries where Google operates |
Polar sells our paid guides as merchant of record. That makes Polar the seller: it runs the checkout, takes payment, charges sales tax and keeps the records the law requires, as a controller under its own privacy policy (the seller is Polar Software, Inc., United States). We send Polar nothing when you sign up for a free guide.
We don't sell your personal data or share it for advertising. Beyond the companies above, we disclose it only when the law requires it, to protect our rights or someone's safety, to our professional advisers, or to whoever takes over the site if the business changes hands, under this policy.
International transfers
We're based in the UAE, and most of the companies above store data in the United States. For visitors in the EU and UK, each transfer relies on the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework where the company is certified, and otherwise on the EU Standard Contractual Clauses (with the UK Addendum) in its data processing terms. Under the PDPL, transfers rely on those contractual protections and on being needed for what you asked us to do (Art. 23). Write to us for a copy of the safeguards.
How to unsubscribe
Every email has an unsubscribe link, and most mail apps show an Unsubscribe button next to the sender. Either one stops the emails at once. Guides you already unlocked stay unlocked.
Your rights
Depending on where you live, you can ask us to:
- tell you what we hold about you and send you a copy, in a format you can reuse;
- correct it;
- delete it: your account, sessions, consent records, access and mailing-list entry;
- restrict how we use it, or stop using it where we rely on legitimate interests;
- stop emailing you (always honored);
- withdraw a consent you gave. That doesn't undo what we did before.
Email hello@larrybezrukov.com from the address you signed up with, so we know it's you. We reply within one month and confirm when it's done. If you think we got something wrong, tell us first and we'll fix it. You can also complain to a data protection authority: in the UAE, the UAE Data Office (now part of the federal Artificial Intelligence and Data Authority); in the EU, the authority where you live (list); in the UK, the Information Commissioner's Office.
If you live in the United States
We don't sell personal information, share it for cross-context behavioral advertising, or show targeted ads, and we don't collect sensitive personal information. We treat a Global Privacy Control signal as a request to turn off visitor statistics; browsers' older Do Not Track setting isn't a standard we act on. We don't disclose personal information to others for their own direct marketing (California's “Shine the Light” law). The rights above are open to you wherever you live.
Automated decisions
We make no decisions about you by automated means that have legal or similarly significant effects.
Security
Everything travels over HTTPS. There are no passwords to steal: a sign-in link works once, for 15 minutes, and we store only a hash of it. Only the people who run the site can reach the data. No system is perfectly secure; if a breach puts your data at risk, we tell the relevant authority and you, as the law requires.
Children
The site isn't meant for anyone under 18, and we don't knowingly collect their data. If you think a child has signed up, tell us and we'll delete it.
Changes to this page
When something changes, we update this page and the date at the top. If a change affects what you agreed to, we ask you again before relying on it. The rules for using the site are in the Terms.
