Privacy
What we collect, why, and what we deliberately do not.
Last updated August 2026.
What we collect
If you create an account, we store the name, email address and avatar your sign-in provider gives us. That is used to identify you, attribute your votes and submissions, and email you about your own listings.
If you subscribe to the newsletter, we store your email address and whether you have confirmed it. One click unsubscribes you.
Clicks and votes
When you click through to a tool, we record that a click happened so listings can be ranked and, in the Arena, so cost-per-click can be shown honestly. Your IP address is hashed with a secret before storage and never kept in raw form. Individual click records are deleted automatically after 90 days.
Votes carry a hashed IP and device fingerprint. That exists solely to detect coordinated vote manipulation, and is not used to build a profile of you or shared with anyone.
What we do not do
No third-party advertising trackers. No selling or sharing of personal data. No cross-site profiling. Personal data is never placed in URLs.
Payments
Payments are handled entirely by our payment provider. We never see or store your card details — we receive only a payment identifier, the amount, and the email you gave at checkout.
Your data
You can ask for a copy of your data or have your account deleted. Contact us and we will action it.
