Privacy Policy

Effective date: July 13, 2026 · Last updated: July 13, 2026

This site ("SOTA Model Board", sota-model-board.netlify.app) is operated by ruizTechServices LLC. It provides AI model comparisons and a prompt cost estimator. This page explains what data we handle, what we deliberately don't, and the choices you have.

1. What we collect automatically

When you use the Prompt Cost Estimator, we store anonymous usage statistics:

• Estimated token, character, and word counts of your prompt (numbers only — not the text itself)
• A one-way cryptographic hash (SHA-256) of the prompt, which cannot be reversed into your text
• The per-model cost figures calculated for your estimate
• A random session identifier generated in your browser (not linked to your identity)
• Your browser language and the referring page, if any

We do not collect your name, email, account details (there are no accounts), or IP address in our database.

2. Optional: storing your prompt text

The estimator has an opt-in checkbox. Only if you tick it, the text of your prompt is stored anonymously to help us improve the tool. If it's unchecked — the default — your prompt text never leaves your browser.

• Consented prompt text is retained for a maximum of 90 days, then automatically deleted
• It is not sold, shared, or used to identify you
• Do not paste secrets, credentials, or personal information into any online tool — including this one

3. Advertising (Google AdSense)

This site displays ads served by Google AdSense. Google and its partners use cookies and similar technologies to serve ads, which may be personalized based on your visits to this and other websites.

• Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on prior visits to this or other sites
• You can opt out of personalized advertising at Google Ads Settings
• More on how Google uses data: policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites

4. Third-party services we rely on

• Netlify (hosting) — like most hosts, Netlify's infrastructure may log requests, including IP addresses, per their privacy policy
• Supabase (database) — stores the anonymous usage statistics described above on US-based infrastructure
• OpenRouter (pricing data) — your browser fetches public model pricing from OpenRouter's API; your prompt text is never sent to OpenRouter or any model provider by this site
• Google Fonts — typefaces are loaded from Google's servers

5. Your choices & data removal

• Leave the opt-in box unchecked to keep your prompt text entirely in your browser
• Use ad-personalization opt-outs linked above
• To request deletion of data you believe relates to you, contact ruiztechservices@gmail.com

6. Children

This site is not directed at children under 13 and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them.

7. Changes

We may update this policy as the site evolves. Material changes will be reflected in the "last updated" date above.
