Privacy Policy

Overview

FreeToolz ("we," "us," or "our") operates freetoolz.site, a collection of free online calculators and tools. This Privacy Policy explains how we handle information when you use our website and tools.

Our design principle is simplicity and privacy-first. Most of our tools run entirely in your browser, meaning your inputs and files stay on your device and are never sent to our servers. This policy describes what limited data we do collect and how we use it.

How Our Tools Work

The majority of FreeToolz tools process data locally in your web browser. When you use a calculator, converter, or file processor, your inputs, files, and results are handled on your device only. We do not transmit, store, or retain this information on our servers.

Some tools offer optional connections to third-party APIs—for example, live currency exchange rates, weather data, or IP-based location lookups. When you choose to use these features, a request is made directly to the external service (e.g., Frankfurter for currency rates, weather.gov for forecasts). Your interaction with these third-party services is governed by their own privacy policies, not ours. We do not log or store the results of these API calls on our infrastructure.

• Local processing: calculator inputs, file conversions, and transformations happen in your browser
• No server storage: we retain no copies of your data or calculations
• Optional API calls: third-party integrations are user-initiated only
• Third-party policies: external services are responsible for their own data handling

Information We Collect

FreeToolz collects minimal information. We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors use our site—which tools are popular, how long users spend on pages, and general traffic patterns. This helps us improve our services.

Analytics data is aggregated and anonymized. We do not attempt to identify you personally through analytics. Google Analytics may use cookies to track sessions and behavior; you can control this through your browser settings or by opting out via Google Analytics opt-out extensions.

• Google Analytics: usage patterns, page views, session duration, device type (aggregated, anonymized)
• No personal identification: analytics does not link to your name, email, or identity
• No login system: FreeToolz does not require accounts or authentication
• No forms (except contact): we do not collect email addresses, phone numbers, or personal details unless you voluntarily contact us

Cookies and Advertising

FreeToolz displays advertisements via Google AdSense to help fund free tool development. Google AdSense uses cookies, including the DoubleClick/DART cookie, to deliver personalized advertisements based on your browsing history and interests across the web.

You have full control over ad personalization. You can view and manage your ad preferences, or opt out of personalized ads entirely, through Google Ads Settings at https://adssettings.google.com. You can also disable cookies in your browser settings, though this may affect site functionality.

Third-party ad vendors may collect data for advertising purposes. Google's advertising cookie policy is detailed at https://policies.google.com/technologies/ads. Other ad partners may use cookies and tracking technologies in accordance with their own policies.

• Google AdSense: personalized ads via DoubleClick/DART cookie
• Opt out anytime: visit Google Ads Settings or disable cookies in your browser
• Third-party vendors: Google and its partners store and use data for ad targeting
• No control over external ads: we do not set ad content; that is determined by Google's systems

Third-Party Services and Links

FreeToolz may link to or integrate with third-party services. When you use an optional API feature in one of our tools, or click a link to an external site, you are leaving our control. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of external websites or services.

We recommend reviewing the privacy policies of any third-party services you interact with. This includes analytics providers, ad networks, and API services we may integrate with in the future.

• API integrations: currency, weather, location, and other optional lookups
• External links: we do not control linked websites
• No data sharing: we do not send your information to third parties; you initiate API calls directly

Data Security and Retention

Because FreeToolz processes most data locally in your browser, security is primarily your responsibility—keep your device secure, use updated software, and be cautious with sensitive inputs. We use HTTPS to encrypt data in transit to our servers.

We do not store user inputs, files, or calculation results. Analytics data is retained by Google according to their standard retention policies. If you contact us, we retain your email and message for a reasonable period to respond to your inquiry, then delete it unless you opt in to further communication.

Your Privacy Rights and Choices

You have the right to know what data we hold, request corrections, and request deletion. If you are located in the European Union, United Kingdom, or California, you have additional rights under GDPR, UK-GDPR, and CCPA, respectively.

To exercise your rights, contact us at contact@freetoolz.site with the subject line 'Data Request' or 'Privacy Rights.' Include your request (access, correction, deletion, or opt-out) and any relevant details. We will respond within 30 days or as required by law.

You can always disable cookies, clear your browser cache, and control ad personalization through Google Ads Settings. You are not required to provide personal information to use any FreeToolz tool.

• No email required: use all tools without registering or sharing contact details
• Cookie control: adjust browser settings or use Google Ads Settings
• Opt-out links: Google Analytics and Google Ads offer formal opt-out tools
• Data requests: email contact@freetoolz.site to access, correct, or delete your information
• GDPR/CCPA/UK-GDPR: additional rights apply in those jurisdictions

Children's Privacy

FreeToolz tools are not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If we become aware that a child under 13 has provided information to us, we will delete it promptly. Parents or guardians who believe a child has shared information with FreeToolz should contact us immediately at contact@freetoolz.site.

Changes to This Policy

FreeToolz may update this Privacy Policy to reflect changes in our practices, technology, or legal requirements. We will update the 'Updated' date at the top of this page. Continued use of FreeToolz after a change constitutes acceptance of the updated policy. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
