Privacy Policy
Last updated: June 14, 2026
Welcome to AI Directory (referred to as "we", "our", or "us"). We run and manage the website at https://www.aidirectory.live. We are committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring your personal data is handled securely and transparently.
1. Information We Collect
We collect minimal personal data to run the AI Directory platform. This includes:
- Tool Submission Data: When you submit an AI tool to our directory, we collect your name, email address, and information about the tool (such as URL, description, and pricing model) to verify the submission.
- Voting & Usage Analytics: We use secure hash values of your session identifiers (like IP address hashes) to count upvotes organically and prevent duplicate voting manipulation. We do not store raw IP addresses in plain text.
- Cookies & Session Indicators: We store temporary, local cookies in your browser to remember your theme preferences (light/dark mode) and voting logs.
2. How We Use Your Information
Your data is processed strictly for the following purposes:
- To review, verify, and approve AI tool submissions in our admin portal.
- To keep upvoting statistics organic and free from automated spam.
- To analyze aggregate traffic metrics (such as page views and popular categories) to optimize directory layouts.
- To contact you regarding the approval status of your submitted tool. We never share your email address with third parties or use it for marketing campaigns without your explicit consent.
3. Data Security & Storage
We host our directory database in Supabase and PostgreSQL. All communication between your browser and our servers uses Secure Socket Layer (SSL) encryption. Administrative tools (such as approving listings or modifying records) are restricted by strict Row Level Security (RLS) policies and service role access keys.
4. Third-Party Services
We integrate third-party APIs (such as Supabase for database hosting and OpenAI for dashboard metadata enrichment). These services have their own privacy policies governing data handling. We encourage you to review their policies.
5. Your Rights
You have the right to request a copy of the data we hold about your submissions, request corrections to your listings, or request that we delete your submitted records. To exercise these rights, please contact our support team.
