Privacy Policy
Effective August 17, 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.
- You can opt out at any time, or ask us to delete your information, by emailing info@ailandvalue.com.
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 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 sell and share it. Specifically, we sell and share the categories of information described above — including your email address, the details you enter about your minerals, and, if you have 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.
Under Texas law this is a "sale" of personal data, and we are telling you so plainly because that is what the law requires and because you deserve to know before you decide to use the site.
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.
That is a separate checkbox on the signup form, and it is never pre-ticked. If you leave it unchecked, everything else on the site works exactly the same; only your precise coordinates are held back. We record which version of that wording you agreed to, and when.
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.
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.
Opting out stops future sales. It cannot retrieve information already provided to someone else. Deleting your account is not the same as opting out — you can do either, or both.
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.

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.
