Privacy Policy

Overview

AI Construction Tools ("we," "us," or "our") operates the website aiconstructiontools.com. This privacy policy explains what information we collect when you visit our site, how we use that information, and the choices you have regarding your data. We keep this policy straightforward because construction professionals have better things to do than parse legal boilerplate.

Information We Collect

Analytics Data

We use privacy-focused analytics to understand how visitors use our site. This includes general information such as which pages are visited, how long visitors spend on a page, referring URLs, and approximate geographic region based on IP address. We do not track individual users across sessions or build advertising profiles. Analytics data is collected in aggregate and is used solely to improve our content and user experience.

Cookies and Local Storage

Our site uses cookies for basic functionality such as remembering your preferences (for example, dark mode settings or dismissed notices). Third-party services we integrate with, such as analytics providers, may also set their own cookies. You can control cookie behavior through your browser settings. Disabling cookies may affect some site features but will not prevent you from reading our content.

Newsletter and Contact Information

If you subscribe to our newsletter, we collect the email address you provide. We use this address only to send you the content you signed up for. You can unsubscribe at any time using the link included in every email. If you contact us at hello@aiconstructiontools.com, we retain your message and email address to respond to your inquiry. We do not add contact form senders to our newsletter without their explicit consent.

Third-Party Services

Affiliate Links

Our site contains affiliate links to products and services we review. When you click an affiliate link, the destination site may collect data about you according to its own privacy policy. We do not control what data affiliate partners collect. Affiliate links are clearly disclosed on each page where they appear, so you can make an informed decision before clicking.

Analytics Providers

We use third-party analytics services to measure site traffic and usage patterns. These providers process data on our behalf under agreements that restrict them from using your data for their own purposes. We select analytics tools that prioritize visitor privacy and minimize data collection.

Hosting and Infrastructure

Our website is hosted on infrastructure providers that may log standard server access data, including your IP address, browser type, and the pages you request. These logs are used for security monitoring and troubleshooting and are retained for a limited period.

How We Use Your Information

We use collected information for the following purposes: improving our content based on aggregate traffic patterns, delivering newsletter emails you have opted into, responding to messages you send us, maintaining site security and preventing abuse, and understanding which tools and topics are most useful to our audience. We do not sell your personal information to third parties. We do not share your email address with anyone outside of the service providers necessary to deliver our newsletter.

Your Rights

You have the right to know what personal data we hold about you. You can request a copy of any data we have associated with your email address. You have the right to request deletion of your data, including removal from our newsletter list. You can opt out of analytics tracking by using browser-based tools such as "Do Not Track" settings or ad-blocking extensions that limit third-party scripts. If you are located in the European Economic Area, you have additional rights under GDPR, including the right to data portability and the right to restrict processing. If you are a California resident, you have rights under the CCPA, including the right to opt out of the sale of personal information (we do not sell personal information, but you may still exercise this right formally).

Data Retention

We retain newsletter subscriber data for as long as your subscription is active. Analytics data is stored in aggregate form and does not contain personally identifiable information. Contact form messages are retained for up to two years to maintain context for ongoing conversations. Server logs are retained for no more than 90 days.

Children's Privacy

Our site is not directed at children under 13 years of age. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal data, please contact us and we will delete that information promptly.

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 review this policy periodically. Your continued use of the site after any changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
