You can contact us about privacy matters at hello@friendlyaitools.com or through our contact page.

Scope of This Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and protect personal information when you visit our site, read our content, subscribe to updates, contact us, leave comments where available, or interact with site features.

Personal Information We Collect

Depending on how you interact with the site, we may collect the following categories of information:

  • Identifiers and contact details. This may include your name, email address, and similar contact information when you subscribe, contact us, or submit a form.
  • Communications and inquiry details. This includes the subject of your inquiry, message contents, and any records of correspondence you send to us.
  • Comment-related information. If comments are enabled and you post a comment, this may include the information entered in the comment form, your IP address, and browser user agent used for spam prevention and site security.
  • Internet or network activity information. This may include pages viewed, referral URLs, approximate geolocation derived from IP, timestamps, browser type, device type, and interactions with site features or content.
  • Newsletter and notification preferences. If you subscribe to emails or opt in to browser notifications, we may collect the information needed to manage those subscriptions and notification settings.
  • Technical and security information. We may process IP-based information, request metadata, and anti-spam or rate-limiting data to operate the site and protect it from abuse.

Sources of Information

We collect personal information:

  • directly from you when you contact us, subscribe, comment, or otherwise submit information;
  • automatically through your browser or device when you use the site;
  • from service providers that support analytics, hosting, caching, forms, newsletters, notifications, or related site operations.

How We Use Information

We may use personal information to:

  • operate, maintain, secure, and improve the site;
  • respond to messages, feedback, partnership requests, and support inquiries;
  • send newsletters, updates, and other communications you request or consent to receive;
  • measure traffic, understand audience engagement, and improve content and site performance;
  • prevent spam, abuse, fraud, and other harmful or unauthorized activity;
  • comply with legal obligations and enforce our policies, disclosures, and site rules.

Legal Bases for Processing

If you are in the EEA, UK, or another jurisdiction that requires a legal basis for processing, we generally rely on one or more of the following:

  • Consent, such as when you subscribe to email updates or opt in to web push notifications;
  • Legitimate interests, such as operating and improving the site, understanding audience engagement, securing the site, preventing abuse, and responding to inquiries;
  • Performance of a contract or pre-contractual steps, where needed to respond to a business or partnership inquiry or provide something you requested;
  • Compliance with legal obligations, where we must keep, disclose, or otherwise process information under applicable law.

How We Share Information

We may share personal information with service providers that help us operate the site and communicate with visitors. Based on the live site configuration as of March 24, 2026, these may include providers involved in hosting, analytics, performance, email delivery, notifications, and sharing tools.

  • Hosting and infrastructure. The site is hosted through Hostinger.
  • Analytics and tag management. We use Google Site Kit and related Google services, including Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager integrations, to understand traffic and site usage.
  • Email and newsletter delivery. We use Brevo (formerly Sendinblue), through the Mailin plugin, to manage newsletter subscriptions and related communications.
  • Web push notifications. If you opt in to browser notifications, notification-related data may be processed through services associated with the site’s push notification configuration, including WonderPush-related integrations.
  • Performance and caching. We use LiteSpeed Cache and related tooling, which may process technical request data to improve delivery and reliability.
  • Social sharing tools. We use AddToAny to support content sharing features.

We may also disclose information when required by law, to protect rights or safety, to investigate abuse or fraud, or in connection with a merger, acquisition, financing, or sale of assets.

Cookies, Analytics, and Similar Technologies

We use cookies and similar technologies for functionality, analytics, security, performance, and communication features. Some cookies may be set by us, and others may be set by third-party providers that support analytics, embedded services, newsletters, sharing tools, or notifications.

You can usually control cookies through your browser settings. Blocking some cookies may affect site functionality.

Email Newsletters and Notifications

If you subscribe to our newsletter, we collect your email address and related subscription data to send you site updates, reviews, news, and related communications. If you opt in to browser notifications, we and our providers may store identifiers needed to deliver and manage those notifications.

You can unsubscribe from emails using the unsubscribe link in the message, and you can manage browser notification permissions through your browser or device settings.

Contact Forms and Communications

If you use our contact form, we collect the information you submit, including your name, email address, selected subject, and message. We use this information to respond to your inquiry and maintain records of our communications. The site also uses anti-spam and rate-limiting measures, which may involve processing IP-based technical information.

Comments

If comments are enabled and you leave a comment, we may collect the information shown in the comment form together with your IP address and browser user agent to help detect spam and abuse. If you use a Gravatar-linked email address, your profile image may appear publicly next to your comment subject to the Gravatar service’s own practices.

Retention

We keep personal information for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, including to provide the site, respond to inquiries, maintain subscriptions, prevent abuse, keep business records, and comply with legal obligations.

  • newsletter information may be retained until you unsubscribe or we no longer maintain the mailing list;
  • contact messages may be retained as needed to respond and follow up, and for recordkeeping or legal reasons;
  • comments and related metadata may remain on the site unless removed;
  • technical logs, analytics data, and cache-related records may be retained according to provider settings and operational needs.

International Data Transfers

Some of our service providers may store or process information in countries other than the one where you live, including the United States or other jurisdictions where their infrastructure operates. Where required, we rely on contractual or other legal safeguards offered by those providers or otherwise required by law.

Your Privacy Rights

Depending on where you live and the circumstances, you may have rights regarding your personal information. These may include the right to request access, correction, deletion, restriction, objection, portability, or withdrawal of consent where processing is based on consent.

EEA and UK Rights

If you are in the EEA or UK, you may have the right to:

  • be informed about how your personal data is used;
  • request access to the personal data we hold about you;
  • request correction of inaccurate or incomplete personal data;
  • request deletion in certain circumstances;
  • request restriction of processing in certain circumstances;
  • object to certain processing, including some processing based on legitimate interests;
  • receive certain personal data in a portable format where applicable;
  • withdraw consent at any time where processing is based on consent.

You may also have the right to lodge a complaint with your local supervisory authority, including in the EU member state of your habitual residence, place of work, or where the alleged infringement occurred, or with the UK Information Commissioner’s Office if you are in the UK.

U.S. State Privacy Rights

Depending on your U.S. state of residence and applicable law, you may have rights to request access to personal information, request correction or deletion, request a copy of certain information in portable form, and opt out of certain processing activities such as the sale or sharing of personal information, targeted advertising, or certain profiling activities where those rights apply.

You may also have the right to appeal a decision we make about your privacy request, depending on applicable law.

How to Exercise Your Rights

To make a privacy-related request, contact us at hello@friendlyaitools.com or through our contact page. We may need to verify your identity before responding to a request, and we may ask for additional information reasonably necessary to do that.

If you are an authorized agent making a request on someone else’s behalf, we may request proof of your authority and may still need to verify the identity of the individual concerned as permitted by law.

Third-Party Links and Embedded Content

Our site may contain links to third-party websites, affiliate links, embedded content, and other third-party services. Those third parties have their own privacy practices, and we are not responsible for their content, security, or privacy policies.

Children’s Privacy

The site is not intended for children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided personal information to us, contact us so we can review and delete it if appropriate.

Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures to protect information we control. However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our site, practices, service providers, or legal obligations. When we do, we will update the effective date at the top of this page.
