Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

Welcome to AI Ready Index ("we", "our", or "us"). We run a public directory and analysis tool for websites to verify their readiness for AI scrapers, search engines, and LLM engines (such as sitemap.xml, robots.txt, llms.txt). This Privacy Policy explains how we process and store information.

2. Data We Collect

Our service primarily processes public website information:

• Domain names: When you submit a domain name for analysis, we save the domain and compile a public report of its file assets.
• Publicly accessible configurations: We fetch and parse files like robots.txt, sitemap.xml, llms.txt, and standard metadata directly from the submitted website.
• Metadata and logs: Standard usage telemetry, IP addresses for rate limiting, and system diagnostic logs.
• Featured placement details: If you purchase a featured placement, we may store the submitted domain, placement status, expiry date, Stripe checkout/session identifier, and contact email needed for receipts or support.

3. How We Use the Information

The collected public configuration data is used to:

• Generate the AI Readiness Score and display the public scanning report.
• Maintain the leaderboard ranking and public index of analyzed websites.
• Ensure the security, stability, and anti-abuse protection of our systems.

4. Cookies and Analytics

We may use local storage or cookies to store your preferences (such as search queries or recent audits). We might also use privacy-first analytics tools to monitor traffic volume and general utilization without capturing personally identifiable information.

5. Data Retention

Domain audits and reports are intended to be public records of AI readiness standards. They are retained in our database and updated periodically when requested by visitors or site administrators.

6. Payments

Payments for featured placements are processed securely by Stripe. AI Ready Index does not store card numbers, CVC codes, or full payment credentials. Stripe may process payment and billing details according to its own terms and privacy policy.

7. Third-party Links

Our public directory contains links to external websites. We do not control and are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of any external properties.

8. Contact Support

If you have any questions, requests, or would like to request the removal of your domain from our public index, please contact us by email:
