Privacy & Security
Yes, we prioritize your privacy! Our approach to data safety:
- Client-Side First: Most tools run in your browser keeping data on your device.
- Minimal Collection: For server-side features, we collect only what's necessary.
- Transparency: We're clear about what data is processed and how.
- No Tracking: We don't build user profiles or sell data.
Read our Privacy Policy for complete details on how we handle data.
Client-side processing means calculations happen in your web browser (the "client"), not on our servers. This is our preferred approach.
Benefits:
- Enhanced privacy - data stays on your device
- Fast results - no network delays
- Works offline - once loaded, no internet needed
- More secure - minimal data exposure
Note: Complex features that cannot run efficiently in browsers may use server-side processing with transparency about data handling.
We use minimal cookies:
- Essential Cookies: Only for basic site functionality (like dark mode preferences)
- Analytics: Google Analytics for general traffic statistics (anonymized, no personal data)
We DON'T:
- Track what you enter into tools
- Build user profiles
- Sell your data (we don't even have it)
- Use advertising or tracking cookies
reCAPTCHA is a security service by Google that helps protect our feedback form from spam and automated abuse. We use reCAPTCHA v3, which:
- Runs invisibly in the background - no checkboxes or image puzzles
- Requires no user interaction
- Analyzes user behavior to distinguish between humans and bots
- Only protects the feedback submission form
Privacy Note: reCAPTCHA may collect device and interaction data. This is processed by Google according to their Privacy Policy.
Yes! Since all processing happens locally in your browser, Tools-Hut is perfect for sensitive data:
- Financial calculations
- Confidential documents (JSON, images)
- Personal information
- Business data
Best Practice: Use Tools-Hut on trusted devices and keep your browser updated for maximum security.
