This Privacy Policy explains how AskWebTools (“AskWebTools”, “we”, “us”, or “our”) handles information when you visit https://askwebtools.com and use our free online tools. We are committed to protecting your privacy and keeping our tools genuinely useful and safe to use.
Who We Are
AskWebTools is an independent website offering a large collection of free online utility tools, including calculators, PDF tools, converters, text utilities, developer tools, and SEO tools. You do not need to create an account to use our tools.
Information We Collect
We keep data collection to a minimum. The information involved falls into a few categories:
- Information you enter into tools: values, text, or numbers you type into a calculator or tool. Most of our tools run entirely in your browser, and these inputs are processed on your own device and are not sent to or stored on our servers.
- Files you use with tools: for many tools (for example, in-browser PDF and image tools), your files are processed locally in your browser and are not uploaded to us. Where a specific tool requires server-side or third-party processing to work, that is done only to provide the function you requested.
- Automatically collected data: like most websites, our servers and analytics providers may record standard technical information such as your IP address, browser type, device type, referring page, and the pages you visit.
- Local storage: features such as “Recently Used” and “Saved Tools” store information in your browser’s local storage on your own device. This stays on your device and is not transmitted to us.
Cookies And Similar Technologies
We and our partners use cookies and similar technologies to operate the site, understand how it is used, and support advertising. These include:
- Essential cookies needed for the site to function.
- Analytics cookies that help us understand which tools are useful and how to improve them.
- Advertising cookies set by third-party ad partners.
You can control or delete cookies through your browser settings. Blocking some cookies may affect how parts of the site work.
Analytics
We may use third-party analytics services (such as Google Analytics) to collect aggregated, mostly anonymous usage statistics. This helps us see which tools are popular and where the site can be improved. These services may set their own cookies and process data under their own privacy policies.
Advertising
AskWebTools is supported by advertising. We may display ads served by third-party advertising networks (which may include Google and its partners). These networks may use cookies and device identifiers to show relevant ads and measure their performance, and in some cases may personalize ads based on your browsing. You can learn about and control ad personalization through your ad settings with those providers and through your browser.
How We Use Information
We use the limited information we collect to operate and secure the website, provide and improve our tools, understand usage trends, display advertising, and respond to your enquiries. We do not sell your personal information.
Sharing Of Information
We do not sell your personal data. We may share limited information with service providers who help us run the site (such as hosting, analytics, and advertising partners), who are only permitted to use it to provide their services. We may also disclose information if required by law or to protect our rights and the safety of our users.
Data Retention
Because most tool inputs are processed in your browser, we do not retain them. Standard server logs and analytics data are kept only as long as needed for security, troubleshooting, and understanding usage, after which they are deleted or anonymized.
Your Rights
Depending on where you live, you may have rights over your personal data, including the right to access, correct, or delete it, and to object to or restrict certain processing. If you are in the EU/EEA or UK, the GDPR applies; if you are in California, the CCPA/CPRA applies. To make a request, contact us through our Contact page. For local features like “Saved Tools”, you can clear them at any time by clearing your browser storage.
Children’s Privacy
Our tools are intended for a general audience and are not directed at children under 13 (or the minimum age in your country). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us personal data, please contact us and we will take appropriate steps.
Third-Party Links
Our site may link to external websites that we do not control. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of those sites, and we encourage you to review their policies.
Data Security
We take reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect the information we handle. However, no method of transmission or storage over the internet is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
Changes To This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the “Last updated” date above. Your continued use of the site after changes take effect means you accept the updated policy.
