Privacy Policy

1. What We Collect

Depending on how you use ToolifyNav, we may collect:

• Account data — email address, name or display name, password hash (via our auth provider), email verification status, and session cookies.
• Submission data — product name, URL, description, images, pricing notes, category/tags, and related metadata you provide when listing a tool.
• Payment metadata — Stripe customer and checkout identifiers, plan selection, and payment status. Card numbers are handled by Stripe; we do not store full card details.
• Usage & analytics — pages viewed, referral source, approximate location from CDN edge, and similar events used to improve the product (subject to cookie consent where applicable).
• Communications — messages you send via the contact form, and newsletter subscription email if you opt in.

2. How We Use It

We use personal data to operate accounts, review and publish listings, process payments, send transactional email (verification, password reset, submission and payment notices), improve the directory, and prevent abuse. Public listing content is shown in the directory so visitors can discover tools. We do not sell your personal data.

3. Cookies & Consent

Essential cookies keep you signed in and secure the session. Optional analytics cookies (for example Google Analytics when configured) load only after you grant consent via our cookie banner. You can change browser settings to block cookies; some account features require essential cookies to work.

4. Sub-processors

We rely on specialized providers to run ToolifyNav. They process data only as needed to deliver their service under their own policies:

• Cloudflare — hosting (Workers), DNS, CDN, D1 database for auth sessions, KV for rate limits and session versioning.
• Sanity — content CMS for directory items, submissions, blogs, and media assets.
• Stripe — Checkout and billing for Pro / Sponsor plans.
• Resend — transactional and newsletter email delivery.
• Google Analytics (optional) — product analytics after consent.
• AI providers (when autofill is used) — URL content may be sent to configured model APIs to draft listing fields; do not paste secrets into public tool pages.

5. Your Rights

You can update profile settings from the dashboard, request correction of listing data, unsubscribe from marketing email, and request account deletion. For privacy requests, email hello@toolifynav.com. Depending on your region, you may have additional rights under applicable law.

6. Data Retention

Account and listing data is retained while your account is active and as needed for legal, security, and operational purposes. Published directory content may remain public until you unpublish or we remove it for policy reasons. Logs and rate-limit records are retained for short operational windows.

7. Updates

We may update this policy as the product evolves. Material changes will be reflected on this page with a new “Last updated” date. Related documents: Terms of Service.
