Your privacy matters to us. This policy explains what data we collect, why we collect it, and how we use it. We keep things simple and collect only what is necessary.
1. Who We Are
AI Tools Directory is an independent platform that helps users discover and compare AI tools. We are not affiliated with any of the tools listed on our site. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect information when you visit our website.
2. Information We Collect
We collect minimal information necessary to operate the site. This may include basic usage data such as pages visited, time spent on pages, and general location (country/region) via analytics tools. We do not collect your name, email, or any personal details unless you voluntarily submit a tool or contact us through a form.
3. Analytics
We may use third-party analytics services such as Google Analytics or Plausible to understand how visitors use our site. These tools may collect anonymized data including browser type, device type, and pages visited. This data is aggregated and cannot be used to identify you personally.
4. Cookies
We use only essential cookies required for the site to function, such as theme preference (light/dark mode). We do not use tracking cookies or advertising cookies. You can disable cookies in your browser settings at any time without affecting core site functionality.
5. Third-Party Links
Our site links to third-party AI tools and websites. Once you leave our site, this Privacy Policy no longer applies. We encourage you to read the privacy policies of any third-party sites you visit. We are not responsible for their privacy practices.
6. Tool Submissions
If you submit a tool for listing on our directory, we collect the information you provide in the submission form (tool name, URL, description, your contact email). This information is used solely to review and list the tool. We do not sell or share this information with third parties.
7. Data Retention
We retain submitted data only as long as necessary for the purposes described in this policy. Analytics data is typically retained for up to 12 months. You may request deletion of any data you have submitted by contacting us.
8. Children's Privacy
AI Tools Directory is not directed at children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect any personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal data, please contact us and we will delete it promptly.
9. Data Security
We take reasonable precautions to protect the information on our platform. However, no method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security and encourage you to avoid sharing sensitive personal information through any web form.
10. Your Rights
Depending on your location, you may have rights regarding your personal data, including the right to access, correct, or delete information we hold about you. To exercise any of these rights, contact us at hello@yourdomain.com and we will respond within a reasonable timeframe.
