Main / Privacy
We champion software that respects its users. We hold ourselves to the same standard — collecting only what we must, and never trading on your trust.

AI Tool Research ("we", "us", or "the platform") is a manually curated dictionary of open-source AI tools hosted on GitHub. We believe privacy should be the default, not a setting you have to find. This policy explains, in plain language, what data we collect, why we collect it, and the control you keep over it.
By using aitoolresearch.com you agree to the practices described here. If you do not agree, please discontinue use of the platform.
We deliberately collect as little as possible. The data we do handle falls into three categories:
We use the limited data we collect strictly to operate and improve the platform:
We do not sell your data. We do not harvest behavioural profiles for advertisers. We do not embed third-party trackers that follow you around the web. The platform exists to champion open, user-respecting software — surveilling our own visitors would contradict everything we stand for.
To run the platform we rely on a small set of trusted infrastructure providers, each processing data only on our behalf:
We use only the cookies strictly necessary to keep authenticated editors signed in and to keep the platform secure. We do not use advertising or cross-site tracking cookies. You can clear or block cookies in your browser at any time, though doing so may sign you out of the admin area.
We retain account data for as long as an editor or administrator account remains active, and remove it on request. All data is transmitted over encrypted connections and access to administrative systems is restricted by role-based permissions.
You can request access to, correction of, or deletion of any personal data we hold about you. Because we collect so little, most of these requests are quick to honour. To exercise any of these rights, contact us using the details below.
We may update this policy as the platform evolves. When we make material changes we will revise the "last updated" date at the top of this page. Continued use of the platform after a change constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
Questions about your privacy or this policy are always welcome. Reach us at [email protected] and we will respond as quickly as we can.
