Unlike most websites, toolit.me does NOT use cookies or similar tracking technologies. We respect your privacy and don't track you across the web.

However, please note that third-party services we use (Google Analytics and Google AdSense) may use their own tracking technologies. See section 5 for details.

5.1 Google AdSense

We use Google AdSense to display advertisements on our website. Google may use tracking technologies to serve ads based on your browsing history. You can opt out at Google Ads Settings.

5.2 Google Analytics

We use Google Analytics to analyze website traffic and usage patterns (anonymized data only). Google Analytics collects information anonymously. You can opt out by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.

5.3 Cloudinary

For our "Media to Link" tool, uploaded files are stored on Cloudinary's secure servers. Cloudinary's privacy policy applies to stored media.

5.4 Email Service Providers

Our Bulk Email Sender uses third-party email APIs to send emails on your behalf. These services process email data temporarily during transmission only.

✅ We do NOT sell your personal information to anyone.

We may share information only in these limited circumstances:

• Service Providers: Third-party services that help us operate (hosting, analytics, email delivery)
• Legal Requirements: When required by law or to protect our rights
• Business Transfers: In case of merger, sale, or acquisition

Here's how long we keep your data:

We implement security measures to protect your data:

• SSL/TLS encryption (HTTPS) for all data transmission
• Secure server infrastructure with regular updates
• Limited data storage (most tools don't save data)
• Access controls and authentication for admin areas
• Regular security audits and monitoring
• No cookies means less tracking and more privacy

However, no method of internet transmission is 100% secure. While we strive to protect your data, we cannot guarantee absolute security.

You have the following rights regarding your data:

• Right to Access: Request a copy of your personal data we have
• Right to Deletion: Request deletion of your shortened URLs, uploaded files, or contact form messages
• Right to Correction: Request correction of inaccurate information

CCPA Rights (California Residents)

California residents have rights under CCPA, including the right to know what data we collect and the right to opt-out of data sales (note: we don't sell data).

Your data may be transferred to and stored on servers in the United States or other countries. By using our Service, you consent to this transfer.

Since we don't use cookies for tracking, Do Not Track (DNT) signals don't apply to our website. However, third-party services (Google Analytics, AdSense) may have their own tracking policies.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We'll notify you by updating the "Last Updated" date at the top. Continued use after changes means you accept the new policy.
