Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

BestTopAI ("we", "our", "us") operates besttopai.com, an AI tools directory. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and your rights regarding that information. By using our site you agree to the practices described here.

We do not serve users under 13. If you believe a child under 13 has provided us personal data, contact us and we will delete it immediately.

2. Our privacy commitment

We do not sell your personal information — ever. Data we collect is used solely to operate and improve BestTopAI.

3. Information we collect

• Newsletter subscriptions — email address only, when you opt in.
• Browsing activity — pages visited, clicks, navigation patterns (via analytics).

We do not collect passwords, payment details, or sensitive personal data.

4. Analytics and tracking

6. Data sharing

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information. We may share minimal data with trusted service providers (hosting, analytics, email delivery) who are contractually obligated to keep it confidential and use it only to perform services for us.

We may disclose information when required by law or to protect our rights.

7. Affiliate links

10. Security

We use industry-standard measures to protect your data. No internet transmission is 100% secure; we cannot guarantee absolute security, but we take reasonable steps to safeguard your information.

11. Changes to this policy
