YOUR PRIVACY
Privacy policy
What happens to your information when you browse The Model Atlas.
Last updated:
You can browse without an account. Search and filters run in your browser. If you send us a post through the Submit form, we keep what you type so we can review it. We use Cloudflare to host and protect the website and measure visits and performance, and we keep cookie-free counts of how often each page is viewed.
1. Scope and browsing data
This policy applies to themodelatlas.com and its directory pages. The Model Atlas is an independent directory of third-party AI tools; it does not operate those tools or process prompts on their behalf.
The directory has no user accounts, payment forms, file uploads, or newsletter sign-ups. Its one form is on the Submit page, described below. Our search and filter code runs locally in your browser and does not call an AI model.
Search terms and filters appear in the page URL so that a view can be shared or reopened. Those URLs may remain in your browser history and may be included in a request when you open, refresh, or share a page. Avoid entering personal or confidential information in directory search.
Posts you send us
The Submit page has a form for sending us a post from X or LinkedIn. It sends what you type: the link to the post, whether it is yours, the model used, an optional @handle or email address, and any note. Our forms service runs on Cloudflare Workers and stores it in a Cloudflare D1 database in our account.
We use it only to review the post for The Model Atlas and, if you left contact details, to reach you about it. We do not save your IP address with your submission. Cloudflare processes it to deliver the request, to limit how often the form can be sent, and in short-lived service logs.
We keep submissions while they are useful for curating the Atlas. To have yours deleted, or to have a build removed from the site, send a DM to @kendrekaran on X.
2. Analytics and browser storage
We use Cloudflare Web Analytics to understand visits and page performance. Reports include page views, referring sites, device and browser categories, and loading metrics. Cloudflare describes this service as privacy-first: it does not use analytics cookies or track people across websites.
We also keep our own page-view counts. Each page you open adds one to a daily count for that page, together with the website you came from (when your browser shares it) and the country Cloudflare places your connection in. Only the page’s path is sent, never your search terms or filters. The counts are stored in the same Cloudflare D1 database as submissions. We don’t use cookies, browser identifiers or IP addresses for this, so the counts can’t be linked to you or to each other.
The directory’s own code does not use cookies or local storage to save a visitor profile or search history. Cloudflare may separately process request information or use security mechanisms to operate and protect the website. Read Cloudflare’s Web Analytics documentation for details about its analytics service.
Visitor statistics
The sidebar and visitor overview use aggregate counts from Cloudflare’s HTTP Traffic Analytics API for themodelatlas.com. The 30-day and seven-day ranges include today and use UTC calendar dates. Cloudflare counts unique IP addresses; its traffic metrics include bots, crawlers, and threats. These figures are not verified counts of people and may differ from the separate Cloudflare Web Analytics reports.
Our server retrieves aggregate counts and caches them for about ten minutes. The public visitor API returns only range totals, daily counts, and an update timestamp. It does not return individual IP addresses, request logs, or API credentials. The new display does not generate browser identifiers, and these figures do not come from the page-view counts described above.
The previous counter used a random browser identifier in local storage. The website removes its old counter keys when its script runs. Historical records from that retired counter may remain in our private database and Cloudflare backups, but they are no longer updated or used for the public figures. You can also clear this website’s storage through your browser settings.
3. Hosting, fonts, X posts, and external websites
Cloudflare: our hosting, content delivery, DNS, security, and analytics provider receives technical request information, such as IP addresses, requested URLs, browser information, and timestamps, as needed to deliver and protect the site. Its processing and retention are described in the Cloudflare Privacy Policy.
Fonts: the Geist and Geist Mono typefaces are served from our own site. Your browser does not contact Google Fonts to load them.
Posts from X: build cards and build pages show creators’ posts from X. When you view them, your browser loads the post’s images, profile pictures and videos from X’s servers (such as pbs.twimg.com and video.twimg.com), which receive technical request information such as your IP address. If a post could not be prepared when the site was built, its page loads X’s official embed script instead, with X’s do-not-track option set. See the X Privacy Policy.
External tools: clicking a provider or source link takes you to a separate website. Its own privacy policy governs any accounts, prompts, uploads, payments, or other information you provide there. Logos are served from our site; loading a logo does not itself send a request to that tool’s website.
4. Use, sharing, and retention
We use site metrics to understand which pages are useful, improve performance, and identify technical problems. We do not sell visitor information or use it for targeted advertising. We do not maintain a directory account database or a server-side search-history database.
Technical information is handled by the service providers described above under their own retention practices, and may be processed in countries other than your own. Information may also be disclosed when required by applicable law. We do not promise a fixed retention period for records controlled by those providers.
5. Your choices
You can manage browser history and storage, use browser privacy controls, and choose whether to follow external links. Blocking font or analytics requests should not prevent you from browsing the directory, although fonts or performance reporting may differ.
Depending on where you live and the information involved, applicable law may provide rights concerning your personal information. This policy does not limit those rights. For information handled directly by an external tool or service provider, consult that provider’s privacy notice and request channels.
6. Changes to this policy
We will update this page when our practices change and revise the date above. If we add features that collect information directly, we will describe that collection here before using those features.
