• Tool and Product Submissions: Information you provide when submitting a tool (e.g., title, description, links, and category) is stored to display your submission publicly.
• Analytics Data: We use MyAnalytics, a privacy-focused analytics system that gathers anonymous, aggregated metrics such as page views, referral sources, device type, and approximate (country-level) location. It does not use cookies or track individuals.
• Payment Details: For paid listings or sponsored placements, transactions are processed securely by Stripe. We never store credit card or payment information on our servers.
