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:
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.
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:
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. Continued use of the site after any changes constitutes your acceptance of the updated policy. If we make significant changes, we will make reasonable efforts to notify users.
