Privacy Policy

Last updated: March 2026

At AI Tool City, your privacy matters to us. This policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and what choices you have. If you have any questions, reach us at contact@aitoolcity.com.

1. Who We Are

AI Tool City ("we", "us", or "our") operates the website at aitoolcity.com — a curated directory of AI tools, resources, and guides. We are the data controller for any personal information collected through this site.

If you have questions about this policy or your personal data, contact us at contact@aitoolcity.com.

2. Information We Collect

We collect a limited amount of information to operate and improve the site:

Usage dataWe collect standard server log data including your IP address, browser type, pages visited, referring URL, and time of visit. This data is used to understand how the site is used and to diagnose technical issues.

Cookies and analyticsWe use cookies and analytics tools (such as Google Analytics or similar) to track aggregate usage patterns. These help us understand which tools and pages are most useful to our visitors.

Contact informationIf you contact us by email or through a contact form, we collect your name and email address to respond to your message.

Tool submissionsIf you submit an AI tool for consideration, we collect the tool name, URL, and any contact details you provide.

Upvote and interaction dataIf you upvote a tool or interact with features on the site, we may store an anonymous identifier to prevent duplicate interactions.

We do not collect sensitive personal data (health, financial, biometric, or similar categories) and we do not require you to create an account to use the directory.

3. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect for the following purposes:

To operate, maintain, and improve the AI Tool City website and directory
To understand how visitors use the site so we can make it more useful
To respond to enquiries, support requests, and tool submission messages
To detect and prevent spam, abuse, and technical issues
To send occasional updates or newsletters if you have opted in (you can unsubscribe at any time)
To comply with legal obligations where required

We do not sell your personal data. We do not use your data for automated profiling or decision-making that has a legal or significant effect on you.

4. Cookies

Cookies are small text files stored in your browser. We use them to make the site work correctly and to understand how it is used.

Essential cookiesRequired for the site to function — for example, remembering your preference for light or dark mode.

Analytics cookiesUsed to collect aggregate, anonymised data about how visitors use the site. We use this to improve the directory and prioritise content.

Third-party cookiesSome embedded content or tools (such as YouTube videos or social sharing buttons) may set their own cookies. These are governed by the third party's privacy policy.

You can control or block cookies through your browser settings. Note that disabling all cookies may affect how some parts of the site work. Most browsers also support a "Do Not Track" signal — we respect this where technically feasible.

5. Third-Party Services

We work with a small number of trusted third-party services to operate the site:

Analytics providersWe use analytics services to understand site usage. These providers may process IP addresses in accordance with their own privacy policies.

Hosting and infrastructureThe site is hosted on cloud infrastructure. Your data may be processed on servers located outside your home country, subject to appropriate safeguards.

Email service providersIf you subscribe to updates or contact us, your email address may be processed by an email service provider.

CloudinaryWe use Cloudinary for image hosting and optimisation. Images processed through Cloudinary are subject to their privacy policy.

Links to external AI tools in our directory are provided for information only. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those third-party websites or services. We encourage you to review each tool's own privacy policy before using it.

6. Data Retention

We keep personal data only for as long as necessary for the purpose it was collected:

Server log data is typically retained for up to 90 days
Analytics data is retained in aggregate, anonymised form for up to 26 months
Contact and submission messages are retained for up to 2 years for reference purposes
Upvote and interaction identifiers are retained for as long as the site is operated

When personal data is no longer needed, we delete or anonymise it securely.

7. Your Rights

Depending on where you are located, you may have rights over your personal data under applicable law (including GDPR in the UK and EU, and similar laws in other jurisdictions):

Access: You can ask us for a copy of any personal data we hold about you
Correction: You can ask us to correct inaccurate personal data
Deletion: You can ask us to delete your personal data where we have no legitimate reason to keep it
Objection: You can object to how we process your personal data in certain circumstances
Restriction: You can ask us to restrict how we use your data while a concern is resolved
Portability: You can ask for your data in a portable, machine-readable format
Withdraw consent: If processing is based on your consent, you can withdraw that consent at any time

To exercise any of these rights, contact us at contact@aitoolcity.com. We aim to respond within 30 days. If you are in the EU or UK and believe your rights have not been respected, you have the right to lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority.

8. Children's Privacy

AI Tool City is not directed at children under the age of 16. We do not knowingly collect personal data from anyone under 16. If you believe a child has provided personal information to us, please contact us and we will delete it promptly.

9. Security

We take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect your personal data from unauthorised access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. However, no internet transmission is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee the absolute security of data transmitted to or from the site.

10. Changes to This Policy

We may update this privacy policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or for legal reasons. When we do, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page.
