Privacy Policy

Who We Are

AI Energy Tools (aienergytools.com) publishes independent reviews, comparisons, and prompt libraries for AI tools used in energy grid operations, efficiency optimization, and renewable energy integration. This privacy policy explains what data we collect when you visit the site, how we use it, and what choices you have.

Data We Collect

We collect limited data to understand how visitors use the site and to keep it running reliably. Here is what we gather:

• Analytics data. We use privacy-focused analytics to track aggregate page views, referral sources, and general geographic regions. This data does not identify you personally. We use it to understand which content is useful and where to focus future reviews.
• Server logs. Our hosting provider records standard server logs, including IP addresses, browser type, and pages requested. These logs are retained for a limited period for security and debugging purposes.
• Cookies. We use a small number of cookies to support analytics and to remember basic site preferences. We do not use cookies for advertising or cross-site tracking. Your browser settings allow you to block or delete cookies at any time.

We do not require you to create an account, and we do not collect your name, email address, or payment information through normal site usage.

Third-Party Services

Several third-party services interact with your data when you visit AI Energy Tools:

• Analytics provider. We use a third-party analytics service to measure site traffic. This service may set cookies or collect anonymized usage data. We choose providers that prioritize visitor privacy and do not sell your data to advertisers.
• Affiliate links. Many of our tool reviews contain affiliate links to vendor websites. When you click an affiliate link, the destination site may place its own cookies to track the referral. Those cookies are governed by the vendor's own privacy policy, not ours. We earn a commission if you sign up for a tool through these links, but the vendor does not share your personal information with us.
• Hosting provider. Our site is served through a hosting platform that processes your requests and may log connection data. We select hosting providers that maintain reasonable security and data handling practices.

We do not run display advertising networks, social media tracking pixels, or retargeting scripts on this site.

How We Use Your Data

The data we collect is used for the following purposes:

• Understanding which articles and tool reviews are most useful to visitors
• Identifying technical issues with the site (broken pages, slow load times)
• Making decisions about what content to create next based on aggregate interest
• Maintaining site security and preventing abuse

Your Rights and Choices

You have control over your data when visiting this site:

• Cookies. You can disable cookies in your browser settings. The site will continue to function normally without them.
• Analytics opt-out. Most analytics services respect Do Not Track browser settings. You can also use browser extensions that block analytics scripts.
• Data access and deletion. If you believe we hold personal data about you and want it corrected or removed, contact us and we will respond within 30 days.
• California residents. Under the CCPA, you have the right to know what personal information is collected about you, request its deletion, and opt out of its sale. We do not sell personal information.
• European visitors. Under the GDPR, you have additional rights including data portability and the right to restrict processing. Since we collect minimal personal data, most of these rights are already satisfied by default.

Data Retention

Analytics data is retained in aggregate form indefinitely, as it does not identify individual visitors. Server logs are retained for no more than 90 days. We do not maintain long-term databases of visitor information.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this privacy policy from time to time. When we make changes, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. We encourage you to check back occasionally. Continued use of the site after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
