This Privacy Policy describes how AIToolPlex (“we,” “us,” or “our”) collects, uses, and shares information when you visit or use our website at aitoolplex.com (the “Service”). AIToolPlex operates as an AI tools directory and comparison platform, helping users discover, compare, and evaluate AI tools across categories including AI image generators, AI video generators, AI image upscalers, and more.
By using our Service, you agree to the collection and use of information as described in this Privacy Policy.
1.1 Information You Provide
- Account Information. If you create an account, we collect your name, email address, and password. If you sign in through a third-party provider (e.g., Google), we receive your name and email from that provider.
- Payment Information. If you purchase a paid service (such as a tool submission listing), payment is processed by Stripe. We do not store your full credit card number. Please refer to Stripe's Privacy Policy for details.
- Tool Submissions. If you submit an AI tool for listing, we collect the information you provide about the tool, including its name, description, URL, category, and any supporting materials.
- User-Generated Content. If you submit reviews, ratings, or comments, we collect that content along with your display name and the date of submission.
- Communications. If you contact us via email, we collect your name, email address, and the content of your message.
1.2 Information Collected Automatically
- Analytics Data. We use a self-hosted instance of Plausible Analytics, a privacy-focused analytics tool. Plausible does not use cookies, does not collect personal data, and does not track users across websites. It collects aggregate, anonymous data such as page views, referral sources, browser type, and country-level location.
- Search Queries. When you use the search function on our site, your search queries are processed locally to return results. We may retain anonymized, aggregated search data to improve our Service.
- Log Data. Our hosting infrastructure (Cloudflare) may automatically collect standard server log information. Please refer to Cloudflare's Privacy Policy for details.
1.3 Cookies
AIToolPlex does not set first-party tracking cookies. Our analytics provider (Plausible) is cookieless. However, third-party services (Cloudflare for security, Stripe for payments) may set strictly necessary cookies.

AIToolPlex participates in affiliate programs with some of the AI tools and services listed on our platform. When you click on certain links and make a purchase or sign up for a service, we may earn a commission at no additional cost to you.
Affiliate relationships do not influence our editorial content, tool rankings, or comparison results. Our reviews and recommendations are based on independent research, feature analysis, and user value. We only recommend tools that we believe provide genuine value.
The commission we earn helps us maintain AIToolPlex as a free resource and continue providing up-to-date AI tool comparisons and reviews.
Our Service contains links to third-party AI tool websites and services. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of these external sites.
