Privacy Policy

1. Overview

ToolZip ("toolzip.xyz", "we", "our", "the Service") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains what data we collect, how we use it, and your rights regarding your information. The short version: your data stays in your browser.

2. Data We Do NOT Collect

All ToolZip are client-side applications that run entirely in your web browser. This means:

• Your input data is never sent to our servers. When you paste JSON, text, code, or upload images, all processing happens locally in your browser.
• We do not store, log, or transmit any data you enter into our tools.
• We do not require user accounts, login, or registration.
• We do not use your data for training AI models or any other purpose.

3. Data We Collect

We collect limited, non-personal data to improve the Service:

3.1 Analytics

We use privacy-friendly analytics (such as Plausible Analytics and/or Google Analytics 4) to understand how the Service is used. This may include:

• Pages visited and referral sources
• Country/region (derived from IP, not stored)
• Browser type and device category (desktop/mobile)
• Session duration and bounce rate

Plausible Analytics does not use cookies and does not collect personal data. Google Analytics 4, if enabled, may set cookies — see the Cookies section below.

3.2 Advertising

We display advertisements through Google AdSense or similar advertising networks to support the free operation of the Service. These third-party advertisers may:

• Use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this or other websites.
• Collect non-personally-identifiable information about your browser and browsing habits.
• Use the DART cookie to serve ads based on visits to this site and other sites on the Internet.

You can opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings or the Network Advertising Initiative opt-out page.

4. Cookies

ToolZip itself does not set any first-party cookies. However, third-party services may set cookies:

5. Local Storage

Some tools may use your browser's localStorage to save preferences (such as recently used tools or theme settings). This data is stored entirely on your device, is never transmitted to our servers, and can be cleared at any time through your browser settings.

6. Data Security

Since all tool processing happens in your browser, your data never leaves your device. Our website is served over HTTPS (enforced by the .dev TLD), ensuring that all communication between your browser and our servers is encrypted. We do not operate databases that store user-generated content.

7. Children's Privacy

ToolZip 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 data, please contact us and we will take steps to remove it.

8. Your Rights

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have the right to:

• Access any personal data we hold about you (we hold none from tool usage).
• Request deletion of data (analytics data is aggregated and non-personal).
• Opt out of personalized advertising via Google's ad settings.
• Clear locally stored preferences via your browser settings.

9. Changes to This Policy

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