Privacy Policy

At AI Libry (https://www.ailibry.com), your trust is our highest priority. We understand that when you browse our platform to discover, evaluate, and compare artificial intelligence software, models, and tools, you place confidence in both our curated information and our handling of your personal data.

This Privacy Policy explains what personal data we collect, why we collect it, how we safeguard it, and what choices and rights you have regarding your personal information. Whether you are searching tool categories, reading editorial blog insights, submitting an AI product, or contacting us through our online forms, your privacy is respected and protected.

By accessing or using AI Libry, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to the practices described in this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree with this policy, please discontinue use of our site.

We collect information in two primary ways: data you directly provide to us, and technical data collected automatically as you navigate our platform.

A. Information You Voluntarily Provide

• Contact Enquiries: Your full name, email address, message subject, and enquiry text submitted through our Contact Us form.
• Tool Submissions: If you are an AI developer or creator submitting a software tool, we collect the tool name, website URL, descriptions, feature tags, pricing models, and contact information.
• Newsletter Subscriptions: Your email address when you voluntarily opt in to receive our AI tool roundups, industry alerts, or newsletter updates.
• Account Details: Basic profile credentials if you register an account to save favorite tools or manage listings.

B. Information Collected Automatically

• Technical Identifiers: Browser type and version, operating system, device hardware specifications, and IP address (anonymized where feasible).
• Usage and Interaction Data: Search queries entered in our directory search bar, categories explored, pages viewed, time spent per tool listing, referral URLs, and click streams.

We process your information strictly for legitimate business, editorial, and security purposes, including:

• Delivering Platform Features: Enabling real-time category filtering, search suggestions, and customized tool listings.
• Responding to Queries: Providing customer support, responding to tool submission requests, and addressing partnership or advertising inquiries.
• Security & Abuse Prevention: Detecting fraudulent submissions, preventing DDoS attacks, stopping spam bots (via Google reCAPTCHA v3), and maintaining site stability.
• Editorial Improvement: Analyzing traffic trends to understand which emerging AI categories (e.g. AI Agents, Video Generators, Coding Assistants) users are most interested in.
• Consensual Communications: Sending requested email updates and newsletters with an instant one-click unsubscribe option in every email.

AI Libry uses small text files called cookies and similar tracking mechanisms (such as session storage and pixel tags) to deliver an optimized experience:

• Essential Cookies: Strictly necessary for site navigation, security sessions, and CSRF token validation.
• Analytical / Performance Cookies: Aggregated anonymous tracking (e.g. Google Analytics) that helps us see overall visitor counts, popular search queries, and general geographical trends without identifying individual visitors.
• Preference Cookies: Storing user UI preferences, such as saved tool filters or display view settings.

AI Libry serves as a curated catalog and gateway linking to third-party artificial intelligence platforms, SaaS tools, models, and external websites. It is essential to understand:

• Independent Operation: We do not own, build, manage, or operate the external AI tools featured in our directory (such as ChatGPT, Claude, Midjourney, Jasper, or independent AI APIs).
• Separate Privacy Frameworks: Each third-party tool operates under its own distinct Privacy Policy, Data Processing Agreements, and model training terms.
• Data Sent to Third Parties: When you leave AI Libry to try or subscribe to a featured tool, any data you provide to that external tool (including prompts, personal documents, and payment details) is governed solely by that provider’s policies, not ours.

To sustain our platform, verify tool listings, and produce independent AI software comparisons for free, AI Libry participates in various affiliate partner programs. In accordance with Federal Trade Commission (FTC) guidelines:

• Referral Commissions: Some outbound links to third-party AI software may contain affiliate tracking codes. If you click on an affiliate link and make a purchase or subscribe to a paid tier, AI Libry may earn a small referral commission at absolutely zero additional cost to you.
• Editorial Integrity: Affiliate relationships never dictate or compromise our editorial assessments, rankings, or reviews. We list both free open-source tools and paid commercial solutions based solely on utility, quality, and community value.

We deploy robust industry-standard technical and organizational security measures to protect your information against unauthorized access, loss, alteration, or disclosure:

• SSL/TLS Encryption: All data transmitted between your browser and our servers is encrypted using modern 256-bit HTTPS protocols with HSTS preloading.
• Automated Bot Shield: We employ Google reCAPTCHA v3 on all contact and submission endpoints to block malicious scrapers and spam bots without subjecting human users to intrusive challenge puzzles.
• Access Controls: Server access is restricted strictly to authorized administrative personnel on a principle of least privilege.

While we apply rigorous precautions, please understand that no method of electronic transmission over the internet or method of electronic storage is 100% infallible. We encourage you to use strong, unique passwords and safe browsing habits.

Depending on your geographic location (including the European Economic Area under GDPR, the United Kingdom, and California under CCPA/CPRA), you possess specific enforceable legal rights regarding your personal information:

• Right to Access: You may request a copy of the personal data we hold about you.
• Right to Rectification: You may request corrections to any inaccurate, outdated, or incomplete personal data.
• Right to Erasure ("Right to Be Forgotten"): You may request the permanent deletion of your personal records from our databases.
• Right to Opt-Out: You may opt out of promotional communications at any moment by clicking the "Unsubscribe" link in any email or by contacting us directly.
• Non-Discrimination: We will never discriminate against you, deny services, or alter your platform experience for exercising any of your privacy rights.

To exercise any of these rights, simply email our data privacy desk at contact@ailibry.com with the subject line "Privacy Rights Request". We verify and respond to all legitimate requests within 30 calendar days.

AI Libry is designed for general audiences interested in technology and artificial intelligence software. Our services are not directed toward children under the age of 13 (or under 16 in certain European jurisdictions), and we do not knowingly collect personal identifiable information from children.

If you are a parent or guardian and believe that your child has provided us with personal information without parental consent, please contact us immediately at contact@ailibry.com so we can expeditiously remove such data from our records.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect evolving technological features, industry best practices, new legal requirements, or changes to our AI tool index. When changes occur, we will update the "Last Updated" date at the top of this document.

We encourage you to periodically review this page to stay informed about how we safeguard your information.
