Privacy Policy
Last updated: July 11, 2026
What we collect
You can browse the directory without creating an account. Depending on how you use the site, we may collect:
- Usage data — anonymous analytics such as pages visited and referrers, collected through standard analytics tools.
- Newsletter sign-ups — your email address when you subscribe on the site.
- Tool submissions — information you enter in the submit form (tool name, URL, description, category, pricing, and related listing details).
- Favorites— saved tool slugs stored in your browser's local storage only. This data stays on your device and is not sent to our servers.
- Server logs — basic request data (such as IP address and browser type) that our hosting provider records for security and operations.
How we use it
We use collected data to operate the directory, review tool submissions, send newsletter updates to subscribers who opt in, and improve the site. We do not sell personal data to third parties.
Cookies and local storage
Analytics providers may set cookies to measure traffic and usage patterns. Favorites are stored in your browser's local storage and are not shared with us. You can clear cookies and site data in your browser settings at any time.
Third-party services
We rely on third-party providers for hosting, analytics, and secure data storage. Those services process data on our behalf under their own privacy policies.
Retention
Newsletter emails are kept until you ask to be removed. Submission data is retained while we review and manage listings. Analytics data is retained according to our analytics providers' policies.
Your rights
You may request access to, correction of, or deletion of personal data we hold about you. Newsletter subscribers can unsubscribe by contacting us at privacy@searchaitool.com.
