Privacy Policy

Last updated: July 1, 2026 — Questions? Contact us

This page explains what data this website collects about you, why, and what you can do about it. I have tried to write it in plain language rather than legal boilerplate — though the legal substance is all present, because it needs to be.

The short version: this site uses Google Analytics to understand how readers find and use the content, and Google AdSense to display advertisements. Both involve cookies. Affiliate links may involve third-party tracking. I do not collect your name, email address, or any personal information unless you choose to contact me directly through the contact page.

Who Is Responsible for This Site

AIToolsProfession is an independent publication operated at aitoolsprofession.netlify.app. For privacy-related questions or requests, use the contact page.

What Data This Site Collects and Why

Analytics (Google Analytics 4)

I use Google Analytics 4 (measurement ID: G-62L2RHVDNK) to understand which articles are useful, how people find the site, and where readers drop off. This tells me what to write more of and what is not working. Analytics data collected includes: pages visited, time spent, device type, browser, approximate geographic location (country and city level — not precise), and how you arrived at the site (search, direct, referral).

This data is aggregated and does not identify you personally. It is processed by Google under their terms. You can opt out using the Google Analytics Opt-Out Add-on.

Advertising (Google AdSense)

This site displays advertisements through Google AdSense (publisher ID: pub-8791195267760916). Google AdSense may use cookies to serve advertisements based on your interests and prior browsing activity. I do not control which specific advertisements are served — that is determined by Google's advertising systems.

You can manage your Google ad personalization settings at adssettings.google.com, or opt out of interest-based advertising through the Digital Advertising Alliance.

Affiliate Link Tracking

Some links on this site are affiliate links. When you click one, the destination website may set tracking cookies to determine whether a purchase was referred from this site. I do not receive your personal data through this process — only a notification that a referral resulted in a purchase. The affiliate website's privacy policy governs what they collect.

Contact Form

If you contact me through the contact page, I receive the information you provide in that message (name, email address, message content). I use this only to respond to your inquiry. I do not add you to any mailing list without your explicit consent.

Cookies

This site uses cookies for analytics (Google Analytics) and advertising (Google AdSense). See the full Cookie Policy for details on specific cookies used, their purposes, and how to manage or delete them.

Third-Party Links

This site links to many third-party websites — tool vendors, research sources, external references. When you click these links, you leave this site and are subject to those websites' privacy policies, which I do not control and am not responsible for.

Data Retention

Analytics data is retained by Google Analytics according to the data retention settings configured in the account (currently set to 14 months). Contact form messages are retained only as long as needed to address the inquiry. I do not maintain a subscriber list or store personal data beyond what arrives through the contact form.

Your Rights

Depending on your location, you may have rights under GDPR (EU/EEA), the Australian Privacy Act, or other applicable laws to access, correct, or request deletion of personal data held about you. Because this site collects minimal personal data directly, most requests will relate to Google Analytics or AdSense data — which are managed through Google's own data management tools linked above.

For any privacy requests or questions, use the contact page. I aim to respond within 10 business days.

Changes to This Policy

If I make material changes to this policy, I will update the date at the top of this page. I do not send policy update notifications, so I recommend checking this page periodically if data handling is a concern for you.
