Privacy Policy - Tooldow.com

At Tooldow, your privacy is not a checkbox. It’s a core part of how we build. This policy explains exactly what data we collect, why we collect it, and what rights you have over it.

Who we are

Tooldow (“we”, “us”, “our”) is a free online tools website operated at tooldow.com. We provide image tools, text tools, developer tools, PDF tools, and more, all free, with no account required.

What information we collect

We collect two types of information: information you provide directly and information collected automatically when you use our site.
Information you provide:

Your name and email address, if you submit our contact form.
Any message or content you send us voluntarily.

Information collected automatically:

Approximate location (country/city level, via IP address)

We do not ask you to create an account. We do not collect your name, email, or any personal details unless you contact us directly.

How we use your information

To operate, maintain, and improve our tools and website
To understand how visitors use our site (via Google Analytics)
To show relevant advertisements (via Google AdSense)
To respond to messages you send us through our contact form
To detect and prevent spam or abuse

We do not sell your personal data. We do not use your data for any purpose not listed above.

Google Analytics

We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors interact with Tooldow. Google Analytics collects information such as how often users visit the site, what pages they visit, and what other sites they used prior to coming to our site.

Google Analytics collects only the IP address assigned to you on the date you visit this site, rather than your name or other identifying information. We do not combine the information collected through Google Analytics with personally identifiable information.

Google’s ability to use and share information collected by Google Analytics about your visits to this site is restricted by the Google Analytics Terms of Service and the Google Privacy Policy. You can prevent Google Analytics from recognising you on return visits by disabling cookies in your browser, or by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on available at tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.

Cookies

Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. Tooldow uses the following categories of cookies:

Essential cookies — Required for the website to function. These cannot be disabled.
Analytics cookies — Used by Google Analytics to collect anonymous data about how visitors use the site.
Advertising cookies — Used by Google AdSense to show relevant ads. These may track your activity across other websites.

You can control or disable cookies through your browser settings. Disabling advertising cookies will not remove ads — it will make them less relevant to you. Most browsers allow you to refuse cookies via their settings menu.

Data retention

We retain contact form submissions for up to 12 months to allow us to respond to your enquiry and any follow-up questions. Analytics data collected by Google Analytics is retained in accordance with Google’s standard data retention settings.

You may request deletion of your data at any time by contacting us at info@tooldow.com

Children's privacy

Tooldow is not directed at children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has provided us with personal information, please contact us and we will delete that information promptly.

Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will update the “Last updated” date at the top of this page. We encourage you to review this policy periodically. Continued use of Tooldow after changes are posted constitutes your acceptance of the updated policy.
