Killed by AI (killedbyai.xyz) is an independent research archive tracking products, services, and workforce positions impacted or reshaped by Artificial Intelligence.
We believe in strict data minimization. We do not sell your personal data, run advertising tracker networks, or harvest private information. This Privacy Policy details the minimal data we collect and how it is secured.
1. Information We Collect
A. Google Identity Services (Authentication)
When you choose to sign in using Google Identity Services (GIS), Google provides us with verified account information:
- Verified Email Address: Used solely to authenticate your identity against our private-beta allowlist.
- Display Name: Shown as attribution on comments and field reports you post.
- Profile Picture: Used to render your user avatar on discussion threads.
We only request standard, non-sensitive identity scopes (openid, email, profile). We never request access to your Google Drive, Gmail, contacts, or calendar, and we never receive or store your password.
B. User-Submitted Content
- Discussion Comments & Field Reports: Content you post in disruption radar threads, stored securely with your display name and timestamp.
- Account Profile Details: Optional bio, location, or headline that you configure on My Account.
- Waitlist Inquiries: Your email address if you request access to the private beta.
C. Technical Logs & Analytics
- Google Analytics (GA4): Anonymized, aggregated site metrics (page views, browser types, country of origin) to help improve performance and content.
- Infrastructure Logs: Ephemeral server and edge CDN logs processed by AWS CloudFront / API Gateway for rate limiting, DDoS mitigation, and error diagnosis.
2. How We Use Information
Information is used strictly to:
- Authenticate your identity when signing in and submitting comments.
- Display your chosen display name alongside your published field reports.
- Enforce rate limits and protect discussion boards against abusive behavior and spam.
- Maintain the security, availability, and performance of the platform.
3. Data Storage & Security
All account data, comments, and allowlists are stored in encrypted Amazon Web Services (AWS DynamoDB) databases located in Singapore (ap-southeast-1).
- Encryption: All data in transit is encrypted using modern TLS 1.3 / HTTPS. All data at rest is encrypted using AWS KMS.
- Cryptographic Verification: User tokens are verified locally using Google's public JSON Web Key Sets (RS256 JWKS) to prevent tampering.
4. Your Rights (GDPR & CCPA)
You maintain full control over your personal data:
- Access & Edit: You can view and edit your profile information at any time on My Account.
- Data Deletion: You can request immediate deletion of your profile, email, and comments by emailing dothanhlam@gmail.com from your registered Google address.
- Opt-Out of Analytics: You can block analytics via standard browser ad/content blockers or the Google Analytics Opt-out Add-on.
5. Third-Party Integrations
We work exclusively with reputable infrastructure partners:
- Google LLC: Google Identity Services authentication (Google Privacy Policy).
- Amazon Web Services (AWS): Cloud hosting, API Gateway, and database storage.
