Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy describes how AI Nav ("we", "us", or "our") collects, uses, and shares information when you visit our website at yuzechang.github.io/AI_Guide.

1. Information We Collect

AI Nav is a static website with no backend server. We do not collect or store any personal information directly. However, third-party services used on this site may collect certain data:

• Google Analytics (if enabled): Collects anonymized usage data such as page views, session duration, browser type, and general geographic location. This data is aggregated and does not identify individual users.
• Google AdSense (if enabled): May use cookies to serve personalized or contextual advertisements based on your browsing history and interests.
• Google Fonts: Fonts are loaded from Google servers; Google may log font requests including your IP address.

2. Cookies

AI Nav itself does not set any first-party cookies. Third-party services (Google Analytics, Google AdSense) may set cookies on your browser to:

• Distinguish unique users and sessions for analytics purposes
• Remember your ad preferences
• Measure ad performance and click-through rates

You can control or disable cookies through your browser settings or via the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.

3. How We Use Information

The aggregated, anonymized data collected via Google Analytics helps us understand:

• Which AI tools and categories are most popular
• How users navigate the directory
• Which search queries lead users to our site

This information is used solely to improve the quality and relevance of our tool curation. We do not sell, trade, or share personal data with third parties.

4. Third-Party Links

AI Nav links to external websites including GitHub repositories, official tool websites, and documentation. These third-party sites have their own privacy policies, and we are not responsible for their content or data practices. We recommend reviewing the privacy policy of any third-party site you visit.

5. Data Retention

Since AI Nav does not collect personal data directly, there is nothing to retain or delete on our end. For data collected by Google Analytics, retention is set to the default period (14 months) in accordance with Google's data retention policies.

6. Children's Privacy

AI Nav is not directed to children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has provided us with personal information, please contact us.
