Privacy Policy
The short version: All tools on Tooliest run entirely in your browser. We do not collect, store, or transmit any personal data you enter into our tools. Your text, files, and inputs never leave your device.
1. Who We Are
Tooliest ("we," "our," or "us") operates the website tooliest.com — a free, browser-based platform offering 80+ online utility tools for developers, designers, writers, and everyday users. You can reach us at [Email Protected].
2. Information We Do NOT Collect
Because all of our tools run directly inside your browser (client-side), the following data is never sent to our servers:
- Text you type into any tool (word counter, case converter, paraphraser, etc.)
- Files you upload (images, documents, JSON files, etc.)
- Passwords, hashes, or encoded strings you generate
- Any calculation inputs (BMI, loan amounts, unit conversions, etc.)
We have no user accounts, no login system, and no database that stores your personal information.
3. Information We Collect Automatically
Like most websites, we may collect certain technical information automatically when you visit Tooliest. This may include:
- Log data: Your browser type, operating system, the pages you visit, the time and date of your visit, and your general geographic region
- Device information: Screen size and browser version (used only to improve our responsive design)
- Cookies and browser storage: Small data files and browser storage entries used for consent, settings, analytics, and advertising controls — see the section below for full details
This information is collected in aggregate and is used only to understand how our website is used and to improve the experience for all visitors.
4. Cookies and Tracking Technologies
Tooliest uses a mix of browser storage and third-party tracking technologies. Here is what you should know:
4a. Essential Browser Storage
Tooliest stores your consent choice and site preferences, such as theme selection, in your browser's local storage on this device. This essential storage helps the site remember your settings, does not track you across other websites, and is used in place of a first-party consent cookie.
4b. Analytics Cookies
If you allow non-essential tracking, we may use Google Analytics to understand visitor behavior on our site — such as which tools are most popular, how long visitors stay, and where our traffic comes from. Google Analytics may use cookies or similar identifiers to collect this information in aggregate. No personally identifiable information is included.
You can opt out of Google Analytics tracking by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
4c. Advertising Cookies (Google AdSense)
Tooliest uses Google AdSense to display advertisements that help keep our service free for everyone. If you accept non-essential tracking, Google AdSense may use cookies and web beacons to serve ads based on your prior visits to our website or other websites on the internet.
Specifically, Google's use of these advertising cookies allows it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visit to Tooliest and/or other sites on the internet. These are known as "interest-based" or "personalised" advertisements.
You have the following options to control ad personalization:
- Visit www.aboutads.info to opt out of interest-based advertising
- Visit Google Ad Settings to manage your ad preferences
- Use our consent banner to reject non-essential tracking
For more information about how Google uses data when you use our site, please visit Google's Privacy & Terms.
5. How We Use Your Information
The limited technical data we collect is used solely to:
- Operate and maintain the Tooliest website
- Understand how people use our tools so we can improve them
- Display relevant advertisements to support our free service
- Detect and prevent security threats or abuse
We do not sell, rent, or share your information with third parties for their own marketing purposes.
6. Third-Party Services
Tooliest may link to or use the following third-party services, each with their own privacy policies:
- Google AdSense — Advertising: Google Privacy Policy
- Google Analytics — Usage analytics: Google Privacy Policy
- Google Fonts — Typography: Fonts are loaded from Google's servers, which may involve data transfer
7. Your Privacy Rights
Depending on your location, you may have certain rights regarding your personal data, including:
- The right to access information we hold about you
- The right to request deletion of your data
- The right to opt out of personalized advertising
- The right to withdraw or change your consent choices at any time
Since we collect very minimal personal data, most of these rights are already satisfied by design. For any questions, contact us at [Email Protected].
8. Children's Privacy
Tooliest is not directed to children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us immediately so we can take appropriate action.
9. Data Security
We take reasonable precautions to protect our website infrastructure. However, as all tool processing happens in your browser, we technically never receive your tool data in the first place — making it one of the most privacy-respecting architectures possible for a web application.
10. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. We encourage you to review this page periodically. Continued use of Tooliest after any changes constitutes your acceptance of the updated policy.
