Privacy Policy

Overview

usertools.app is a collection of browser-based utility tools. Your privacy is important to us. This policy explains what data we collect (very little) and how we use it.

Data Processing

All tool processing happens entirely in your browser or on the server during your session. We do not store, log, or transmit the text, JSON, dates, or any other content you enter into our tools. Once you leave the page, your data is gone.

Cookies & Local Storage

We use localStorage to remember your theme preference (light or dark mode) and your cookie consent choice.

If you accept cookies, third-party services (Google Analytics and Google AdSense) may set their own cookies for analytics and advertising purposes. These cookies are only loaded after you give explicit consent. You can also manage cookies through your browser settings or by visiting Google Ads Settings.

Analytics

We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors interact with our tools, which pages are most useful, and where we can improve the experience. Google Analytics collects anonymized usage data such as page views, session duration, and general geographic region. It does not collect personally identifiable information. You can learn more about how Google uses this data in Google's Privacy Policy.

Advertising

We use Google AdSense to display advertisements on our site. This is how we fund the free tools and keep the site running. Google AdSense may use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this site or other websites. You can opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings. For more information about how Google uses data from partner sites, visit Google's partner policy page.

Cookie Consent

In accordance with GDPR and ePrivacy regulations, we ask for your consent before loading analytics and advertising cookies. When you first visit the site, a consent banner gives you the choice to accept or reject non-essential cookies.

• If you accept, Google Analytics and Google AdSense scripts are loaded with personalized ads and may set cookies.
• If you reject, no tracking cookies are set. Ads are still shown in non-personalized mode without cookies.

You can change your choice at any time by clicking the "Cookie Settings" link in the footer. When you withdraw consent, any existing tracking cookies are deleted from your browser.

Third-Party Services

We use the following third-party services:

• Google Fonts — Inter typeface and Material Symbols icons
• Google Analytics — anonymized site usage analytics
• Google AdSense — non-intrusive display advertising

All of these services are subject to Google's Privacy Policy.

Children's Privacy

Our tools are general-purpose utilities and are not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone, including children.

Changes to This Policy

If we make changes to this policy, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page.
