How we use information
We use information to operate, secure, improve, and personalize AstronovAI. This includes account access, saved workspace features, community moderation, tool submissions, search and filter improvements, spam prevention, analytics, and support.
Connected sign-in providers
You may choose to sign in through Google, LinkedIn, or Microsoft when those options are enabled. The provider authenticates you and shares the limited profile information requested on its consent screen. We use the provider's stable account identifier to connect the sign-in method to your AstronovAI account. You can review and disconnect providers from the Connected Accounts section, subject to maintaining another way to access your account.
Cookies and local storage
AstronovAI may use cookies, local storage, and similar technologies for login sessions, security, preferences such as theme mode, recently viewed tools, favorites, comparison workflows, analytics, advertising measurement, affiliate attribution, and performance improvements.
If third-party advertising, analytics, or affiliate networks are enabled, those providers may use their own cookies, pixels, scripts, or similar technologies according to their policies.
Advertising, Google AdSense, and ad personalization
AstronovAI may display advertisements or sponsored placements from approved advertising partners. Third-party vendors, including Google, may use cookies to serve ads based on a user's prior visits to AstronovAI or other websites. Google's use of advertising cookies enables Google and its partners to serve ads to users based on visits to this site and other sites on the internet.
Users may manage or opt out of personalized advertising through Google's advertising controls and their browser or device settings. In regions where consent is required, including the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, and Switzerland, AstronovAI may request consent before using cookies or similar technologies for personalized ads or related measurement.
If an advertising network is active, additional ad network identifiers may be listed in the site's ads.txt file when required by the network. We do not publish placeholder ad network identifiers before they are provided by an approved advertising partner.
Reviews, comments, and public content
Content you post publicly, such as reviews, comments, replies, and discussion messages, may be visible to other users. We may moderate, remove, or restrict content that violates community standards, appears abusive, spammy, misleading, or unsafe.
How information may be shared
We do not sell personal information. We may share limited information with service providers that help operate the website, such as hosting, security, analytics, email delivery, spam prevention, and technical maintenance providers. We may also disclose information when required by law, to protect rights and safety, or to investigate abuse.
