Privacy policy

Trades With AI is a directory of AI tools for trades businesses, run by Nichols Ventures in Missouri, USA.

What we collect

No cookies. No ads or trackers. No accounts. We do not sell or share personal data.

Analytics

We run our own simple counter. We do not use Google Analytics or any third-party analytics script. When a page loads, your browser sends the page path and the host name of the site that linked you, such as google.com. We do not get the full link. When you click a buy button or finish a form or check, your browser sends the action name. We store daily totals: views per page, visits per referring site, and counts per action. We do not store your IP address, a cookie, or any ID. Visits from known bots are dropped. To drop repeat actions, a one-way hash of your IP address, the action, and the date sits in the Cloudflare cache for 10 minutes. It is never stored with the totals.

Tool submissions

When you submit a tool, we store what you type: tool name, website, trades, category, contact email, listing tier, and notes. We also count submissions per IP address for one to two hours to block spam. The IP count is not stored with your entry. Entries sit in Cloudflare storage for review and are deleted after 180 days. We use your email only to ask about your listing. Nothing is published until we review it.

Payments

Lemon Squeezy runs checkout for Verified and Featured listings as the merchant of record. It collects your name, email, billing address, and card details under its own policy, and it may set its own cookies in checkout. We never see your card number. Lemon Squeezy shares order details with us, such as your name, email, and what you bought. See the Lemon Squeezy privacy policy.

MCP server and API

When an app or AI agent calls our MCP server or API, we read the query to answer it. We do not store queries.

To stop abuse, our server counts requests per IP address or network range. The counter holds that key and a number, sits in the Cloudflare cache, and expires within 2 hours.

Links to vendors

Tool pages link to vendor sites. Those sites have their own privacy policies.

Hosting

Cloudflare hosts this site. To serve and protect it, Cloudflare processes your IP address, browser type, and the pages you request. See the Cloudflare privacy policy. We do not keep our own request logs.

Children

This site is for businesses. It is not meant for children under 13, and we do not collect their data on purpose.

Changes and contact

We will update this page when what we collect changes. Questions or deletion requests: [email protected].
