Toolz Hunt is run by the team named on our About page. For anything about your data, email hello@toolzhunt.com.

Accounts

Login is handled by Zoho Catalyst Authentication. You can sign up with an email and password, or with Google. We never see your password; Catalyst checks it and tells us who you are. If you sign in with Google, we get your name, email and profile picture from Google.

What we store

• Your account (users): your name, email, profile picture, when you joined and when you were last active.
• Saved tools (saves): which tools you saved.
• Upvotes (upvotes): which tools you upvoted and when, so each person counts once.
• Claims (claims): when you claim a tool, your name, role, work email and how we checked it.
• Submissions (submissions): when you list a tool, your name, role and work email, plus the tool details you give us.
• Messages (messages): when you message a team, your name, email and message, which we pass to that team.

With submissions, messages and tool suggestions we also keep a one-way hash of your IP address. We use it only to limit spam; it can't be turned back into your IP address.

Where it's stored and for how long

• Everything is stored on Zoho Catalyst, in Zoho's India data centre.
• We back up the data every week and keep each backup for 8 weeks. After you delete your data, it can stay in older backups until they expire, at most 8 weeks later.

Cookies

We only use cookies to keep you logged in. We don't use advertising cookies, analytics or tracking, and we don't show ads.

What we don't do
