PickYour-AI collects limited data necessary to operate and improve the site. Here's what we collect and why:

1.1 Data You Provide Voluntarily

• Contact form submissions — your name, email, and message when you reach out to us.

1.2 Data Collected Automatically

• IP address — collected by our hosting provider for security and spam prevention.
• Browser and device information — browser type, operating system, screen resolution. Used for analytics only.
• Referring URL — where you came from before landing on our site.

We do not collect: credit card information, government IDs, precise geolocation, or sensitive personal data.

2. Cookies & Tracking

We use cookies to make the site work properly and to understand how visitors use it.

You can manage or delete cookies through your browser settings. Note that disabling essential cookies may affect site functionality.

3. Analytics

We use analytics tools to understand how visitors interact with PickYour-AI. Our analytics are configured with privacy in mind:

• IP addresses are anonymized before storage
• We do not use cross-site tracking
• Data is aggregated and not tied to individual identities
• We do not sell analytics data to third parties

Analytics data helps us understand which reviews and guides are most helpful so we can create more of what you value.

4. Third-Party Links & Services

PickYour-AI contains links to third-party websites and tools. When you click a link to an external site:

• You leave PickYour-AI and are subject to that site's privacy policy
• We have no control over and assume no responsibility for the content or privacy practices of external sites
• Affiliate links may set cookies on third-party sites when you click them

We recommend reviewing the privacy policy of any third-party site you visit.

5. Affiliate Disclosure

Some links on PickYour-AI are affiliate links. If you click an affiliate link and make a purchase, we may receive a commission at no additional cost to you.

Affiliate links use tracking cookies to attribute the sale to us. These cookies are set by the affiliate network or the tool provider, not by us directly.

Affiliate relationships never influence our editorial opinions or review scores. See our full affiliate disclosure for more details.
