Privacy Policy

1) Who We Are

AIToolHQ.com (“AIToolHQ”, “we”, “our”) operates an informational website about AI tools and software. We are the data controller for personal information we collect via the site.

2) Scope

This Policy explains what we collect, how we use it, how we share it, and your choices. It applies to visitors and users of AIToolHQ.com.

3) Information We Collect

  • Information you provide: email, name, messages, form submissions, newsletter sign‑ups.
  • Information collected automatically: IP address, device and browser details, pages viewed, referring/exit pages, timestamps, and similar data via cookies, pixels, and scripts.
  • Information from third parties: analytics providers and affiliate networks.

4) Cookies & Similar Technologies

We use cookies and similar technologies to run the site, measure performance, remember preferences, and (where applicable) personalize content or ads. You can control cookies via your browser settings. Some features may not work without cookies.

5) How We Use Your Information

We use information to: (a) operate, maintain, and improve the site and content; (b) respond to inquiries; (c) send newsletters with your consent; (d) analyze traffic and usage; (e) detect, prevent, and address security or technical issues; and (f) comply with legal obligations.

6) Legal Bases for Processing (EEA/UK)

Where GDPR/UK GDPR applies, our legal bases are: (a) consent (e.g., newsletters, optional cookies); (b) legitimate interests (site operations, analytics, fraud prevention); (c) performance of a contract (if you create an account or submit listings); and (d) legal obligations.

7) Sharing & Disclosure

We may share information with: (a) service providers (hosting, analytics, email delivery), bound by confidentiality; (b) affiliate networks and merchants when you follow affiliate links; (c) authorities where required by law; and (d) a successor entity in case of merger or acquisition. We do not sell personal information in the traditional sense. We may engage in “sharing” for cross‑context behavioral advertising as defined by certain U.S. state laws.

  • U.S. State Laws (e.g., CA/CO/CT/VA/UT): You may have rights to access, delete, correct, and opt‑out of “sale”/“sharing”/targeted ads. Send requests to privacy@aitoolhq.com. We will verify your request as required by law.

9) Data Retention

We retain information as long as needed for the purposes described, to comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce agreements.

10) International Transfers

If we transfer personal information outside your country, we will use appropriate safeguards (such as Standard Contractual Clauses) where required by law.

11) Security

We use reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect information. No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure.

12) Children’s Privacy

The site is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them. If you believe a child provided personal information, contact us to delete it.

13) Do Not Track

Some browsers offer “Do Not Track” signals. We do not respond to these signals at this time.

14) Third‑Party Links

Our site links to other websites. Their privacy practices are governed by their own policies, not this one.

15) Changes to This Policy

We may update this Policy. We will post the updated version with a new “Last Updated” date.
