Creating an account is optional for browsing, but required to save favourites, submit tools, claim listings, or access personalised features. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials and for all activity that occurs under your account.

We use analytics and usage data to understand how visitors interact with the Site, which pages are popular, and how we can improve the directory. This data is aggregated and used for operational and product decisions.

The Site uses cookies and similar technologies to keep you signed in, remember your preferences, and support advertising and analytics. You can manage or disable cookies through your browser settings, but some features of the Site may not work properly if cookies are disabled.

We use the information we collect to:

• Provide, operate, and maintain the Site and its features;
• Authenticate users and manage accounts;
• Personalise your experience, such as showing saved favourites;
• Process tool submissions and listing claims;
• Communicate with you about your account, submissions, or support requests;
• Improve the Site and develop new features;
• Comply with legal obligations and protect our rights.

We do not sell your personal information. We may share data with trusted service providers who help us operate the Site (such as hosting, authentication, analytics, and advertising partners), and only to the extent necessary for them to perform their services. We may also disclose information if required by law or to protect our rights and users.

The Site contains links to third-party AI tools and services. This Privacy Policy does not apply to those external sites or services. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any third-party site you visit.

AIToolStores.com does not currently process payments directly through the Site. If we introduce paid features or subscriptions in the future, we will use a reputable third-party payment processor and update this policy accordingly.

We take reasonable administrative, technical, and physical measures to protect your personal information. However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

We retain your personal information for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide you with the Site. We may retain certain information for longer periods to comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, or enforce our agreements.

Depending on your location, you may have the right to access, correct, delete, or restrict the processing of your personal information. You may also have the right to object to processing or request data portability. To exercise these rights, contact us at support@aitoolstores.com.

The Site is not directed to children under the age of 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe we have collected information from a child under 13, please contact us and we will delete it.

The Site may link to third-party websites, products, or services. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of those third parties. We encourage you to read their privacy policies before providing any personal information.

Your information may be transferred to and processed in countries other than the one in which you reside. By using the Site, you consent to the transfer of your information to countries that may have different data protection rules than your country of residence.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we make material changes, we will post the updated policy on this page with a revised effective date. Your continued use of the Site after the changes take effect constitutes your acceptance of the revised policy.
