Privacy Policy
Effective Date: October 14, 2025
Introduction
At Hypertools, we believe in transparency about how we handle your data. This Privacy Policy outlines what information we gather when you visit our AI tools directory, how we use it, and the choices you have regarding your personal information. Please note that our service is designed for users aged 13 and older.
Privacy First Approach
Your personal information is never sold, period. The only time we collect personally identifiable information is when you voluntarily provide your email for our newsletter. Everything else we track (analytics, browsing patterns, technical data) exists purely to make Hypertools better for you and other visitors discovering AI tools.
What Information We Collect
The data we collect falls into two categories: information you directly provide and information automatically gathered during your visit.
Newsletter Subscription
Your email address, only when you explicitly sign up for our newsletter. Note: Hypertools doesn't require account creation.
Browsing Activity
Which pages you view, how long you stay, links you click, and your navigation path through our directory.
Technical Details
Your device's IP address, browser software, operating system, and general location based on IP.
Preference Data
Settings like theme choice (dark/light mode) and other customization options, stored locally via cookies.
Analytics and Tracking Technologies
To understand how visitors interact with our AI tools directory and identify areas for improvement, we rely on several tracking technologies:
Google Analytics
Tracks visitor behavior patterns to help us identify which tools are most popular and how people navigate our site. We use anonymized tracking by default, with enhanced analytics features only activated when you provide consent.
Facebook Pixel
Enables us to measure the performance of our outreach efforts and understand which channels bring visitors to Hypertools. This tracking only occurs after you accept cookies.
Browser Cookies
These small data files let us remember your preferences (such as dark mode settings) and recognize returning visitors. If you're browsing from Europe or other regions with strict privacy requirements, we'll explicitly ask for your permission before setting non-essential cookies.
How We Use Your Information
The information we collect serves specific purposes:
Site Improvement
Analyzing which AI tools resonate with our audience helps us curate better content and identify gaps in our directory
User Experience
Understanding navigation patterns allows us to optimize page layouts and make it easier to discover relevant tools
Newsletter Delivery
Sending curated AI tool updates and news to subscribers who opted in
Performance Monitoring
Ensuring our site loads quickly and functions properly across different devices and browsers
Data Sharing Practices
Your data is never sold. The information we collect stays within the scope of operating and improving Hypertools. We don't engage in selling, renting, or trading user data with third parties.
We do work with service providers essential to running our platform, such as web hosting, analytics platforms, and email delivery services. These partners only access the minimum data necessary to perform their specific functions and are contractually obligated to protect your information.
Your Rights and Choices
You have control over your information:
Newsletter
Unsubscribe anytime using the link in our emails
Cookies
Disable or delete cookies through your browser's privacy settings
Data Requests
Contact us to access, update, or delete your personal information
For questions about your privacy, please reach out to us through our contact page.
Policy Updates
As Hypertools evolves, we may need to update this Privacy Policy. When changes occur, we'll update the "Effective Date" at the top of this page. For significant changes that materially affect how we handle your data, we'll provide additional notice through our website or newsletter.
