Privacy Policy
Last updated: September 25, 2026
Prother is a directory for discovering AI tools. This policy explains what data we collect, why, and the choices you have. Questions: makers@prother.dev.
Accounts
Signing in is optional: browsing, searching, and comparing work without an account. If you create one (email magic link or Google OAuth), we store your email address, plus the name, handle, bio, and avatar you choose. Google sign-in additionally receives the basic profile Google shares (name, email, profile picture). Sessions last 30 days; signing out ends them immediately, and banning an account revokes all of its live sessions.
Content you create
Reviews, comments, forum posts, collections, bookmarks, follows, tool submissions, ownership claims, and reports are stored so the site can display them, attribute them to you, and moderate them. Public content (reviews, posts, public collections) is visible to everyone, including search engines.
Analytics: cookieless by design
We count page views in aggregate (page x day, referrer host x device x day, error signatures x day) to understand traffic and report it to advertisers. We store no cookies, IP addresses, or user-agent strings for analytics: there is nothing personal to leak, so no consent banner is needed.
Advertising
Sponsored placements are sold directly and always labeled. We use no third-party advertising trackers, and we never sell personal data.
Data storage and sharing
Data is stored with our infrastructure providers (application database, file storage, and transactional email) and processed only to operate Prother. We disclose data only when required by law or to prevent abuse.
Your rights
You can edit your profile at any time. For a copy of your data or full account deletion (profile, content attributions, and sessions), email makers@prother.dev from your account address and we will action it promptly.
Changes
Material changes to this policy will be noted here with a new revision date. Continued use of Prother after changes take effect constitutes acceptance.
