Privacy Policy

1. Information We Collect

We collect minimal data to provide our service. Your saved tools, browsing history, and preferences are stored locally in your browser (localStorage) and never sent to our servers. We use privacy-friendly analytics (Vercel Analytics) that do not use cookies or track personal information.

2. How We Use Your Data

Your data is used solely to improve your experience on our site — saving your favorite tools, remembering your preferences, and providing personalized recommendations. We do not sell, share, or transfer your personal data to third parties.

3. Cookies

We use minimal cookies for essential site functionality (such as theme preference and language selection). Our analytics are cookie-free. You can clear your local data at any time through your browser settings.

4. Affiliate Links

Some links on our site are affiliate links. When you click these links and make a purchase, we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. This does not affect our editorial independence. See our Affiliate Disclosure for details.

5. Third-Party Services

We use Vercel for hosting and analytics, which may collect anonymized usage data. We do not use Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, or any invasive tracking tools.

6. Your Rights

You have the right to access, correct, or delete your data at any time. Since we store data locally in your browser, you can clear it through browser settings. For any questions, contact us at affiliate@useaitools.me.

7. GDPR Compliance (EU/EEA Users)

If you are located in the European Economic Area (EEA), you have the following rights under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR):

• Right of Access — You can request a copy of your personal data we hold.
• Right to Rectification — You can ask us to correct inaccurate or incomplete data.
• Right to Erasure — You can request deletion of your personal data ("right to be forgotten").
• Right to Restriction — You can ask us to limit how we process your data.
• Right to Data Portability — You can request your data in a machine-readable format.
• Right to Object — You can object to processing based on legitimate interests.

Our legal basis for processing is legitimate interest (Article 6(1)(f)) — providing and improving our service. We store all user preferences locally in your browser, not on our servers. To exercise any of these rights, email us at affiliate@useaitools.me. We will respond within 30 days.

You also have the right to lodge a complaint with your local data protection supervisory authority.

8. International Data Transfers

Our website is hosted through Vercel, which may process data on servers located globally including the United States. Vercel is certified under the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework, ensuring adequate protection for personal data transferred from the EEA. Your localStorage data never leaves your browser.

9. Data Retention

We do not store personal data on our servers. All preferences (saved tools, theme, language) are stored in your browser's localStorage and remain there until you clear your browser data. You can delete this data at any time through your browser settings.

10. Children's Privacy

Our service is not directed to children under 13 (or 16 in the EEA). We do not knowingly collect personal data from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal data, please contact us and we will delete it.

11. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated revision date. For material changes, we will display a notice on our homepage.
