Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy sets out how AI Girl Guides (“we”, “us” or “our”), which runs aigirlguides.com (https://aigirlguides.com), gathers, uses and looks after information when you drop by our website. AI Girl Guides is an independent directory of 18+ AI apps and tools. Using the site means you're on board with the practices below.

1. Who this policy applies to

This site is for adults only — 18 or over, or whatever the legal age is where you live. We never knowingly gather information from anyone younger than 18. If you think a minor has shared details with us, let us know at hello@aigirlguides.com and we'll erase them.

2. Information we collect

We gather as little as we can. Depending on how you use the site, that might include:

• Analytics data. Pooled, largely anonymous usage signals — which pages get viewed, where visitors arrived from, rough location, device type and browser. It tells us what content actually lands.
• Contact form data. When you email us or fill in our contact form, we get the name, email and message you type in so we can write back.
• Cookies and similar technologies. Tiny files your browser holds onto that power analytics, hang on to your preferences and, where relevant, credit affiliate referrals.

There's no account to sign up for, and browsing the directory doesn't call for any sensitive personal details.

3. How we use information

• To keep the website running, maintained and getting better over time.
• To reply to questions, fixes, and take-down or app-submission requests.
• To gauge overall traffic and see which reviews readers find useful.
• To credit affiliate referrals so we're recognised for sign-ups we send along.
• To catch abuse, keep the site secure and meet our legal duties.

We never sell your personal information.

4. Cookies and analytics

We lean on cookies and outside analytics tools to see how the site gets used. Your browser settings let you manage or switch cookies off — just know a few things may stop working properly without them. Analytics providers handle data under their own privacy policies, and wherever it's needed we stick to pooled or anonymised data.

5. Third-party affiliate links

AI Girl Guides carries affiliate links to outside AI tools and services. Click one and you're off our site, now covered by that destination's own privacy policy and terms, which are out of our hands. We may earn a commission if you subscribe. Do take a look at any third-party platform's privacy practices before handing over personal or payment details. Our Disclaimer has more on how our affiliate ties work.

6. How we share information

The only outside parties we share data with are the service providers who help us keep the site going (hosting and analytics vendors, say), plus where the law demands it or to safeguard our rights and our users' safety. Those providers may only use your data to do work on our behalf.

7. Data retention

Contact-form messages stay with us only for as long as it takes to deal with your request, plus a sensible window afterwards for our records, and then they go. Pooled analytics data may stick around longer in a form that can't be traced back to you.

8. Your rights (GDPR & CCPA)

Your location may give you rights over your personal data — to see it, correct it, delete it, limit how it's processed, move it elsewhere, and object to its use. If you're in the European Economic Area or the UK (GDPR), or in California (CCPA/CPRA), these rights are yours, including the right not to be treated worse for using them and the right to opt out of any “sale” or “sharing” of personal information. To act on any of them, email us at hello@aigirlguides.com and we'll get back to you inside the window the law sets.

9. Data security

We put sensible technical and organisational safeguards in place around the information we hold. That said, no way of sending or storing data is ever completely watertight, so we can't promise total security.

10. Changes to this policy

This Privacy Policy may change now and then. Whenever it does, we'll update the “Last updated” date at the top. Carrying on using the site once changes are live means you accept the updated version.
