Privacy Policy

This policy explains what data freetoolstouse collects, how cookies are used, and how third-party advertising works.

Last updated: June 27, 2026

Overview

freetoolstouse ("we", "us") is committed to protecting your privacy. The majority of our tools run entirely in your browser, which means the content you paste, upload, or generate is processed on your device and is not transmitted to or stored on our servers.

Information we collect

  • Tool content: For browser-based tools, your input never leaves your device. For tools that require a network request (for example DNS, SSL, or HTTP header checks), we send only the hostname or URL needed to perform the check and do not retain it after returning your result.
  • Usage analytics: We use privacy-respecting analytics to count page views and which tools are used, in aggregate, so we can improve the site. This does not identify you personally.
  • Anonymous usage counts: We may store an anonymous tally of how many times each tool is opened. This contains no personal information.

Cookies and local storage

We use cookies and browser local storage for essential functionality (such as remembering your theme preference) and for analytics and advertising as described below. You can clear or block cookies in your browser settings, though some features may stop working.

Third-party advertising

We display third-party display ads (currently via Adsterra, and optionally Google AdSense) to keep the site free. These vendors and their partners may use cookies or similar technologies to serve ads based on your visits to this and other websites.

  • Ad networks may collect device and usage data to measure and deliver ads. Their practices are governed by their own privacy policies.
  • When Google AdSense is enabled, Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads based on your visit to this site and/or other sites. You may opt out of personalized Google advertising at Google Ads Settings. Learn more on Google's partner sites policy page.
  • For visitors in the EEA, UK, and other regions, we request consent for personalized advertising and cookies through a consent management platform before such cookies are set, where required.

Children's privacy

freetoolstouse is not directed at children under 13 and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them.

Your choices

You can use most tools without providing any personal information. You may manage cookie and advertising preferences via your browser and the Google Ads Settings link above.

We may update this policy from time to time. Material changes will be reflected by updating the "Last updated" date at the top of this page.
