Privacy Policy

Last updated:

1. Overview

WebToolsOnline("the Site") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and your choices regarding your data.

2. Data You Enter Into Tools

All data you input into the tools on this Site is processed entirely within your browser. We do not send, store, or have access to the content you enter into any tool. Your data never leaves your device unless you explicitly choose to copy or download the output.

3. Information We Collect

We collect limited, non-personal information through analytics services to understand how the Site is used and to improve our tools. This may include:

  • Pages visited and tools used
  • Approximate geographic location (country/region level)
  • Browser type and operating system
  • Referring website
  • Time spent on pages
  • Device type (desktop, mobile, tablet)

4. Google Analytics

This Site uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google, Inc. Google Analytics uses cookies to help analyze how visitors use the Site. The information generated by the cookie about your use of the Site (including your IP address) is transmitted to and stored by Google on servers in the United States. Google uses this information to evaluate your use of the Site, compile reports on site activity, and provide other services related to site usage and internet activity. Google may also transfer this information to third parties where required by law or where such third parties process the information on Google's behalf. For more information, see Google's Privacy Policy.

5. Google AdSense

This Site uses Google AdSense to display advertisements. Google AdSense uses cookies, including the DoubleClick DART cookie, to serve ads based on your prior visits to this Site and other websites on the internet. The DART cookie enables Google and its partners to serve ads to you based on your browsing patterns.

You may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings. Alternatively, you can opt out of third-party vendor cookies for personalized advertising by visiting www.aboutads.info.

Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this website or other websites. For more information about how Google uses data when you use its partners' sites, see How Google uses data.

6. Cookies

The Site uses cookies for the following purposes:

  • Analytics cookies: Used by Google Analytics to distinguish users and track site usage patterns.
  • Advertising cookies: Used by Google AdSense and the DoubleClick DART cookie to serve relevant ads and measure ad performance.
  • Consent cookie:A local storage entry that remembers your cookie consent preference so we don't ask again.

Analytics cookies are set only after you accept via the cookie banner shown on your first visit. Advertising is handled differently: the Google AdSense script loads for every visitor, but until you accept, it is instructed to serve non-personalized ads, which are chosen from the content of the page rather than from a profile of you. Accepting the banner allows personalized ads from that point on.

You can withdraw consent at any time by clearing your browser's local storage or cookies, which will cause the consent banner to appear again and return advertising to non-personalized.

You can also control and delete cookies through your browser settings. Disabling cookies will not affect the core functionality of the tools on this Site.

7. No User Accounts

This Site does not require registration or user accounts. We do not collect names, email addresses, passwords, or any other personally identifiable information directly from users.

8. Third-Party Links

The Site may contain links to third-party websites. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of those sites. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any third-party sites you visit.

9. Children's Privacy

This Site is not directed at 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 and we will take steps to remove it.

10. Data Security

Since tool data is processed locally in your browser and we do not collect personal information, the risk of data breach from our end is minimal. The Site is served over HTTPS to protect data in transit.

11. Your Choices

You can:

  • Decline cookies via the consent banner shown on your first visit
  • Disable cookies in your browser settings
  • Opt out of personalized ads at Google Ads Settings
  • Use browser extensions to block Google Analytics (e.g., Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on)
  • Use the Site in private/incognito mode

12. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated revision date. Your continued use of the Site after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.

13. Data Retention

Because content you enter into a tool is never transmitted to us, there is nothing for us to retain. Aggregated analytics data is retained by Google Analytics according to the retention period configured for the property, after which it is deleted automatically. Any message you send us through the contact form or by email is kept only for as long as needed to deal with your enquiry.

14. Your Rights

Depending on where you live, you may have rights under laws such as the GDPR or the CCPA to access, correct, delete or port personal data held about you, and to object to its processing. Since we do not operate accounts and do not collect directly identifying information, we typically hold no personal data to act on. Where cookies are involved you can withdraw consent at any time by clearing this site's cookies and site data in your browser, which restores the pre-consent state. To exercise any right, or to ask what we hold, contact us using the details below.

15. Who We Are and How to Contact Us

WebToolsOnline is an independently operated website and is the data controller for the limited analytics data described above. For any privacy question, request or complaint, email support@webtoolsonline.com or use our contact page. We aim to respond within two to three business days.
