4. U.S. Privacy Law Compliance
AI Directory Tool Box operates in accordance with applicable United States federal and state privacy laws. Our practices are designed to provide transparent notice and meaningful choice regarding your personal information.
Key U.S. Privacy Principles We Follow:
- Notice & Transparency: This Privacy Policy serves as our notice to you about our data practices.
- Choice & Consent: We collect your email only with your consent and provide clear opt-out mechanisms. For future advertising cookies, we will use a consent mechanism where required by law.
- Data Security: We implement reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect your information.
- Access & Correction: You have the right to access the personal information we hold about you and request corrections.
- Accountability: We are responsible for our processing activities and the data we collect.
State-Specific Rights: Depending on your state of residence, you may have additional rights. For example:
- California Residents: The California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA) may grant you rights to know, delete, correct, and opt-out of the “sale” or “sharing” of your personal information. We do not currently “sell” personal information as traditionally understood. Our future use of advertising cookies for targeted ads may constitute “sharing” under California law, for which we will provide a clear “Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information” link and respect opt-out preference signals.
- Residents of Virginia, Colorado, Connecticut, Utah, and other states with comprehensive laws: You may have rights to access, delete, obtain a copy of your data, and opt-out of targeted advertising or profiling.
