Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

Welcome to Online Free Tools ("we", "us", "our", or "Site"). We are committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring you have a positive experience on our website. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, how we protect it, and your rights regarding your data. Please read this policy carefully. By accessing and using Online Free Tools, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Privacy Policy.

2. Information We Collect

Personal Information: We collect minimal personal information. When you contact us via the contact form, we collect your name, email address, and message. This information is used solely to respond to your inquiry.

Tool Data Processing: Most tools process data directly in your browser without storing it on our servers. For example, when you use the JSON Formatter, image compression, or code minifier tools, all processing happens locally on your device. We do not collect or store the content you enter into these tools unless you explicitly save it to your account (if you create one).

Usage Information: We automatically collect certain information about how you use the Site, including IP address, browser type, operating system, referring URL, and pages visited. This information helps us understand user behavior and improve our services.

Cookies and Similar Technologies: We use cookies and similar tracking technologies to remember your preferences, track site usage, and serve personalized content. You can control cookies through your browser settings. Some tools may not function properly if cookies are disabled.

3. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect for the following purposes:

• To respond to your inquiries and provide customer support
• To improve and optimize our website and tools
• To send you updates about new tools or features (only if you opt-in)
• To analyze website traffic and user engagement
• To detect and prevent fraud, abuse, and security incidents
• To comply with legal obligations

4. Third-Party Services and Data Sharing

Google AdSense: We use Google AdSense to display advertisements on our website. Google may use cookies and web beacons to collect information about your visits to this and other websites to create personalized ads. Google's use of cookies is subject to Google's Privacy Policy.

Google Analytics: We use GA4 (Google Analytics 4) to track anonymous usage patterns and website performance. This helps us understand how our tools are used and make improvements. All data collected is anonymized and aggregated. See google.com/privacy for more information.

Data Sharing: We do not sell, rent, or share your personal information with third parties for marketing purposes. We only share information as necessary to provide our services and comply with legal obligations.

5. Data Security

We implement appropriate technical and organizational security measures to protect your personal information from unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, and destruction. Our website uses HTTPS encryption to protect data in transit. However, no security measure is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your credentials and for all activities that occur under your account.
