Information We Collect
When you visit PickAI, we collect certain information to improve your experience and provide better service:
- Usage Data: Pages visited, time spent, clicks on tool links (we use hashed IP addresses for click tracking, not your actual IP)
- Analytics: We use Plausible Analytics, a privacy-friendly, cookieless analytics service that doesn't collect personal data
- Email Addresses: If you subscribe to our newsletter, we store your email via Beehiiv (our email service provider)
How We Use Your Information
We use collected information to:
- Improve site performance and user experience
- Track which AI tools are most popular
- Send newsletter updates (only if you subscribed)
- Prevent abuse and spam
IP Address Hashing
When you click on tool links, we hash your IP address (a one-way encryption) before storing it. This means:
- We can detect duplicate clicks from the same visitor
- We cannot identify individual users
- We cannot reverse the hash to reveal your IP
- Your privacy is protected while we prevent click fraud
Cookies
We do not use tracking cookies. Plausible Analytics is cookieless. If you interact with our newsletter signup, Beehiiv may set cookies per their privacy policy.
Third-Party Services
We use the following third-party services:
- Plausible Analytics - Privacy-friendly analytics (Privacy Policy)
- Beehiiv - Email newsletter service (Privacy Policy)
- Affiliate Networks - When you click tool links, you may be redirected through affiliate tracking (ElevenLabs, Murf AI via PartnerStack)
Data Retention
We retain hashed click data for 90 days, after which it's aggregated into daily summaries (counts only, no IP hashes). Analytics data is retained per Plausible's terms.
