Vibe Coding Tools ("we," "us," or "our") operates vibetools.net, an editorial directory and blog that helps visitors discover and compare AI coding tools. This policy explains what information we collect, why we use it, and the choices available to you.
Depending on how you use the site, we may collect:
We use information to:
We use analytics services, including Plausible Analytics and, when enabled, Google Analytics, to understand site usage. Their technologies and data practices may differ, and their processing is governed by their own policies.
When Google AdSense or another advertising service is enabled, Google and other third-party ad vendors may place or read cookies on your browser, or use web beacons, IP addresses, and similar identifiers to serve and measure ads. Google may use advertising cookies to show personalized ads based on your visits to this and other sites. You can control personalized advertising through Google Ads Settings and learn how Google uses information from sites or apps that use its services. You can also visit YourAdChoices for additional industry opt-out choices.
Where consent is required, we will request it before using non-essential cookies or personalized advertising. For visitors in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, or Switzerland, any AdSense consent message will be provided through a Google-certified consent management platform. You may withdraw or change a consent choice through the consent controls presented on the site when available. Browser settings can also block or delete cookies, although some features may then work differently.
We may share information with service providers that help us operate the site, such as hosting and infrastructure providers, analytics providers, authentication providers (for example, Google or GitHub), database providers, email services, and payment processors such as PayPal or Stripe. They may process information only for the services they provide to us and under their own applicable terms and privacy policies.
We may also disclose information when reasonably necessary to comply with law or a valid legal request, protect the rights and safety of users or others, investigate fraud or security issues, enforce our agreements, or complete a business transfer such as a merger or sale. We do not share personal information with third parties merely in exchange for money.
We retain information only as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described above, including providing the service, keeping appropriate transaction and business records, resolving disputes, enforcing agreements, and meeting legal requirements. Retention periods vary by the type of information and our obligations.
We use reasonable administrative and technical safeguards designed to protect information. No internet transmission or storage system is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.
Our service providers may process information in countries other than your own. Where required, we rely on appropriate safeguards for international transfers and applicable legal mechanisms.
Depending on where you live, you may have rights to request access, correction, deletion, restriction, portability, or objection to certain processing, and to withdraw consent. You may also have the right to appeal a decision or complain to your local data-protection authority. To make a request, email support@vibetools.net. We may need to verify your identity before completing a request.
The site is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them. If you believe a child has provided personal information, contact us so we can take appropriate action. Higher age thresholds may apply where required by local law.
The site links to third-party products and websites. Their privacy practices are governed by their own policies, not this policy. Review those policies before providing information to them.
We may update this policy as our practices or legal obligations change. We will post the revised policy here and update the effective date. Material changes may also be communicated through the site when appropriate.
Questions or privacy requests can be sent to support@vibetools.net.
