Privacy Policy
OctoHustle is an independent AI tools directory. This policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and how you can contact us about your data.
Information we collect
When you submit a tool, contact us, or send a correction request, we may collect the information you provide, such as your name, email address, tool name, website URL, category, pricing notes, and message content.
We may also collect basic usage information through analytics tools, such as pages visited, referring pages, device type, browser type, approximate location, and general interaction data. This helps us understand which pages and categories are useful.
How we use information
We use collected information to review tool submissions, respond to messages, correct directory listings, improve search and category pages, prevent abuse, monitor site performance, and maintain the security and reliability of OctoHustle.
Third-party services
OctoHustle may use third-party services for hosting, database storage, analytics, and deployment, including services such as Vercel, Supabase, and Google Analytics if enabled. These providers may process technical and usage data according to their own privacy policies.
Cookies and analytics
Analytics services may use cookies or similar technologies to measure traffic and usage. You can control cookies through your browser settings. If analytics is disabled or blocked, OctoHustle should still remain usable.
Outbound links and listed tools
OctoHustle links to third-party AI tools and websites. We do not control those websites, their privacy practices, pricing, account systems, or data collection. Review the privacy policy of any third-party tool before creating an account or sharing information with it.
Affiliate and sponsored links
Some outbound links may be affiliate links or sponsored placements. If this changes the way a link is presented, we aim to make that relationship clear. Affiliate or sponsored relationships do not give third-party tools access to your private submission or contact messages through OctoHustle.
Data retention
We keep submission and contact information only as long as needed to review listings, respond to requests, maintain records, prevent abuse, and operate the directory. We may delete outdated or unnecessary submission records over time.
Your choices
You can request a correction, update, or deletion of information you submitted by emailing us at support@octohustle.com. We may need enough information to verify and locate the relevant submission or message.
Children's privacy
OctoHustle is not intended for children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy as OctoHustle changes. The latest version will be posted on this page with the effective date below.
