Privacy Policy
Last updated: July 7, 2026
AISO Tools ("AISO Tools," "we," "us," or "our") operates aisotools.com (the "Site"), a directory and discovery platform for AI tools. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have. By using the Site, you agree to the practices described here.
1. Information We Collect
Information you provide
- Contact and submission details — name, email address, company name, and tool/website details when you submit a tool, request advertising, run our free AI-visibility audit, or subscribe to our newsletter.
- Payment information — if you purchase a sponsored listing or subscription, payment is processed by Stripe. We do not store your card number; Stripe handles that data under its own privacy policy.
- Correspondence — anything you send us directly by email.
Information collected automatically
- Usage data — pages visited, referring URLs, device/browser type, approximate location (derived from IP address), and interaction data, collected via cookies, pixels, and similar technologies.
- Log data — standard server logs (IP address, timestamps, user agent) generated by our hosting provider.
2. Cookies & Tracking Technologies
We use cookies and similar technologies (such as local storage and pixels) to operate the Site, remember preferences, measure traffic, and — where enabled — serve and measure advertising. You can control cookies through your browser settings; blocking cookies may affect how the Site functions.
We use industry-standard analytics tools, including Google Analytics and Vercel Web Analytics, to understand how visitors use the Site in aggregate. We may also work with third-party advertising and monetization partners (for example, ad networks such as Mediavine) whose tags or scripts set cookies on the Site to serve and measure display advertising, including interest-based advertising. These partners may collect information about your visits to this and other websites to provide advertisements about goods and services of interest to you.
3. Interest-Based Advertising & Your Choices
Where third-party advertising is enabled on the Site, our advertising partners and their vendors may use cookies and similar technology to collect data for interest-based (personalized) advertising. You can learn more and opt out of interest-based advertising from participating companies through:
4. How We Use Information
- Operate, maintain, and improve the Site and our tool directory.
- Respond to inquiries, tool submissions, and advertising requests.
- Send newsletters or updates you've opted into (with an unsubscribe option in every email).
- Process payments for sponsored listings or subscriptions.
- Measure traffic and analyze aggregate usage trends.
- Serve and measure advertising, where enabled.
- Detect, prevent, and address fraud, abuse, or technical issues.
5. Third-Party Service Providers
We share information with service providers who process it on our behalf, including:
- Vercel — hosting and web analytics
- Google Analytics — usage analytics
- Supabase — database and application storage
- Stripe — payment processing
- Resend / beehiiv — transactional and newsletter email delivery
- OpenAI — powers our free AI-visibility audit tool
- Advertising partners (e.g. Mediavine and its vendor network), where display advertising is enabled
We do not sell your personal information. We do not share your information with third parties for their own independent marketing purposes, except as described above or with your consent.
6. Your Rights
Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or export your personal information, or to object to or restrict certain processing (including opting out of the sale/sharing of personal information under the California Consumer Privacy Act, or exercising rights under the EU/UK GDPR). To exercise any of these rights, contact us using the details below.
7. Children's Privacy
The Site is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us and we will delete it.
8. Data Retention & Security
We retain personal information only as long as necessary for the purposes described in this policy, or as required by law. We use reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your information, but no method of transmission or storage is 100% secure.
9. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Material changes will be reflected by updating the "Last updated" date above. Continued use of the Site after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
