Privacy Policy
Introduction
Welcome to ToolStack. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect when you visit toolstack.net, how we use it, and what rights you have over your data. By using this website, you agree to the practices described in this policy. If you do not agree, please stop using the site.
We take your privacy seriously. We collect only what is necessary, we do not sell your data, and we do not share it with anyone except where required to run this website.
Who We Are
ToolStack is an independent AI tools review blog. We publish honest reviews, comparisons, and workflow guides to help creators, professionals, and students find the right AI tools for their work. This website is operated by Pradeep RD. If you have any questions about this policy, you can contact us at: info@toolstack.net
What Information We Collect
We collect two types of information when you visit ToolStack:
- Information you give us directly: This happens when you subscribe to our newsletter and provide your email address, when you leave a comment on a blog post and provide your name and email address, or when you contact us through our contact form and provide your name, email address, and message. We only collect this information when you choose to provide it. You are never required to share personal information just to read our content.
- Information collected automatically: When you visit any website, certain technical data is recorded automatically. This includes your IP address, browser type, the pages you visit, how long you spend on each page, the device you use, and the website that referred you to us. We collect this data through analytics tools to understand how visitors use our site. This data is not personally identifiable on its own.
How We Use Your Information
We use the information we collect for specific, limited purposes only.
Your email address is used to send you newsletter updates if you have subscribed. We do not send unsolicited emails. Every email we send includes an unsubscribe link at the bottom. Clicking that link removes you from our list immediately.
Your name and email address from comments are used to display your comment on the post and to notify you of replies if you have opted in. Your email address is never shown publicly on the site.
Automatically collected data is used to understand how visitors use ToolStack so we can improve our content and user experience. This data is analyzed in aggregate and is not used to identify individual visitors.
Advertising
ToolStack displays advertisements through a third party advertising service. This service uses cookies to show ads that may be relevant to your interests based on your browsing history. You can opt out of personalized advertising through your browser settings or by visiting the relevant opt-out pages provided by your region's advertising standards body.
We do not control the content of ads displayed on this site. We do not receive any personal information about you through the advertising service.
Affiliate Links and Third Party Services
Some links on ToolStack are affiliate links. This means if you click a link and make a purchase or sign up for a service, we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. We only recommend tools we have personally tested and genuinely believe are worth recommending.
Clicking an affiliate link may take you to a third party website. Once you leave ToolStack, this Privacy Policy no longer applies. We encourage you to read the privacy policy of any website you visit through our links. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of third party websites.
Each third party service we link to has its own privacy policy that governs how they handle your data when you visit their sites.
Data Retention
We keep your data only for as long as necessary. Email addresses of newsletter subscribers are kept until you unsubscribe. Comment data is kept as long as the comment is published on the site. You can request deletion at any time by contacting us.
Automatically collected analytics data is retained according to the default settings of the analytics tools we use. You can request deletion of your analytics data by contacting us with your approximate visit dates and IP address.

You have the right to access the personal data we hold about you. You have the right to correct any inaccurate data we hold. You have the right to request deletion of your personal data. You have the right to withdraw consent at any time where we rely on consent to process your data. You have the right to object to how we use your data.

If you are based in the European Union or United Kingdom, you also have the right to lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority.
Children's Privacy
