Privacy Policy
Effective September 16, 2026
aiLandValue is free to use. We pay for it by selling and sharing the information you give us. This page explains exactly what that means, in plain language.
The short version
- We collect what you type into this site — your email, the locations you save, and any details you enter to get a valuation.
- We sell and share that information, including the exact coordinates of locations you save, to mineral and royalty buyers and to companies that compile oil-and-gas industry data. That is how this site stays free.
- We ask separately, at signup, before your exact saved locations are included. You can use the site without agreeing to that.
- Creating an account is your agreement to that. If you no longer want your information sold, ask us to delete your account by emailing info@ailandvalue.com — deletion is how you opt out.
What we collect
When you create an account: your email address, and a display name if you choose one.
When you save a location ("watch a spot"): the exact latitude and longitude of the point you place, the radius you choose, and any label you give it.
When you use the valuation tool: whatever you enter — county, net mineral acres, royalty rate, monthly royalty income, operator and lease name, and your answers about whether the minerals are producing or leased. We keep this even if you don't finish.
When you search for a place: if you type a town or address into the box on the map, we send that text to OpenStreetMap's public address-lookup service to turn it into a point on the map, and we cache the answer. We do not attach your email or your account to that lookup. We never store the text you typed — only the pin, and only if you keep it.
When you contact us or submit a form: your name, email, phone number if you provide one, and anything you write to us.
Automatically: ordinary technical information every website receives, such as your IP address and browser type, plus records of when you log in.
What we never collect: Social Security numbers, bank or card numbers, and passwords. This site has no passwords — you log in with a link we email you.
What we do with it
We use it to run the service: to show you your saved locations, to email you when there is drilling activity near them, to calculate estimates, and to answer you when you get in touch. We also use the details entered into the valuation tool, in aggregate, to improve how we estimate values in a given county — what one person tells us about their acreage makes the next person's estimate a little better.
How the site is paid for. aiLandValue is free to use, with no subscription and no charge for an estimate. What funds it is connecting mineral owners with the people who want to buy from them. So we share the categories of information described above — your email address, the details you enter about your minerals, and, if you have specifically agreed to it, the exact coordinates of the locations you save — with:
- mineral and royalty buyers, and brokers who represent them;
- companies that compile and resell oil-and-gas ownership and activity data.
Texas law classifies that as a sale of personal data, so that is the word we use for it here rather than a softer one. Creating an account is your agreement to it, the same way it is on any free service that runs on the information its users give it. If you later want it to stop, ask us to delete your account — see your rights below.
Precise location is treated separately
Texas law treats precise geographic location as sensitive information. We do not include the exact coordinates of your saved locations in what we sell or share unless you have specifically agreed to it.
We ask that as its own question when you create an account — a plain yes or no, with neither answer chosen for you. If you say no, or say nothing at all, everything else on the site works exactly the same; only your precise coordinates are held back. We record which version of that wording you were shown, which answer you gave, and when. You can change your answer at any time.
To change that answer later, email info@ailandvalue.com.
Your rights
Texas residents have the right to know what personal data we hold about them, to get a copy of it, to correct it, to have it deleted, and to opt out of its sale. Here, opting out and deleting are the same act: we do not keep an account whose information we cannot sell, so an opt-out request closes the account and deletes what we hold.
To exercise any of these rights, including opting out of the sale of your personal data, email info@ailandvalue.com. We will respond within 45 days. There is no charge. If we decline a request, we will tell you why, and you may appeal by replying to that response; if an appeal is denied, you may complain to the Texas Attorney General.
Deletion stops future sales. It cannot retrieve information already provided to someone else.
Keeping it safe
We store as little as we can: no passwords exist to be stolen, and we never handle financial account numbers. Login links and session identifiers are stored only in scrambled (hashed) form, so a copy of our database yields nothing anyone can log in with. No system is perfectly secure, and we will not pretend otherwise.
Other things worth saying
The drilling permit data on this site comes from the Texas Railroad Commission's public records. It is public information about wells and permits, not about you.
This service is not intended for anyone under 18.
If we change this policy, we will update the date at the top. If we ever change it in a way that materially expands what we sell, we will tell existing users by email before it takes effect.
Questions, corrections, deletions: info@ailandvalue.com
The Terms of Use cover the rest of how this site works — what the estimates are and are not, the community rules, and what happens if we introduce you to a buyer.
