Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy governs the manner in which AiToolPod.com ("we," "us," "our," or "the Site"), operated by Wealth Profusion LLC, collects, uses, maintains, and discloses information collected from users ("User," "you"). This policy applies to the Site and all software research, tool directories, benchmarks, and interactive calculators offered by AiToolPod.com.

1. Information We Collect

We collect information in strict accordance with global privacy frameworks (including GDPR, UK-GDPR, CCPA, and CPRA):

  • Voluntarily Provided Information: When you subscribe to our research newsletter, submit an inquiry via our contact form, or utilize our interactive AI Match Quiz, we collect your name, business email address, and operational workflow requirements.
  • Automated Diagnostic & Server Logs: Like standard web platforms, our web servers automatically log HTTP requests, including truncated IP addresses, browser user-agents, referral URLs, and access timestamps for server security, intrusion prevention, and performance telemetry.
  • Affiliate Redirect Telemetry: When you click an outbound software vendor link routed through our /go/ redirect controller, we generate a one-way cryptographic SHA-256 hash of the request metadata for anti-fraud click auditing. We do not store reversible raw IP addresses in affiliate tracking logs.

2. Google AdSense & Advertising Cookie Disclosures

This Site participates in the Google AdSense advertising network to support our independent research. Please review the following mandatory disclosures:

  • Google, as a third-party vendor, uses cookies (including the DoubleClick DART cookie) to serve advertisements on AiToolPod.com based on a user's prior visits to this website and other websites across the Internet.
  • Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to users based on their visit to our sites and/or other sites on the Internet.
  • Users may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings.

3. Web Cookies & Tracking Technologies

AiToolPod.com utilizes standard session cookies to preserve user preferences (such as light/dark mode and search filtering state) and prevent Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF). You can configure your browser to reject cookies or notify you when cookies are sent; however, certain interactive site features (such as real-time tool filtering) may experience degraded performance.
