Privacy Policy

Last updated: 2026-10-12

ToolFox (toolfox.org) is designed to collect as little data as possible. This policy explains what happens to your data in every part of the site — and, just as importantly, what does not.

1. Files and text you process

All tools run entirely in your browser. Your files, images and text are processed on your device and are never uploaded to our servers. We could not look at your data even if we wanted to. The only exceptions are two tools that fetch data for you and are described below.

2. Third-party requests (tools that fetch public data)

Two tools make outbound requests from your browser for data you explicitly ask for:

• The currency converter fetches daily exchange rates from a public rates dataset served via the jsDelivr CDN.
• The "What is my IP" tool displays your public IP address via ipify.org.

These services see your IP address as part of any web request — that is how the internet works. No tool ever uploads your files or text.

3. Local storage

We store your theme preference, tool settings and high scores in your browser's local storage. This stays on your device, is never transmitted to us, and contains no personal data.

4. Cookies and consent

By default, ToolFox sets no tracking or advertising cookies. On your first visit you are shown a consent banner with two options:

• Essential only (default if you decline): the site works fully; no analytics cookies and no advertising cookies are set. Server logs (see §5) are still kept for security.
• Accept all: anonymous analytics (§6) and advertising (§7) are enabled.

Your choice is stored in your browser's local storage and can be changed at any time via the "Cookie settings" link in the footer of every page.

5. Server logs

Like virtually every website, our hosting server keeps access logs (requested URL, time, IP address, browser type) for a limited period. These logs are used only for security, abuse prevention and aggregate traffic statistics — not to build individual profiles.

6. Analytics

If you consented, we use Google Analytics 4 with IP anonymization to count page visits in aggregate. If you declined, no analytics loads at all. This data is not used to identify individuals and is never sold.

7. Advertising

If you consented, ToolFox displays ads served by Google AdSense. Google and its partners may use cookies or device identifiers to serve ads based on your visits to this and other sites. You can opt out of personalized advertising at any time at Google Ads Settings or via Your Online Choices (EU). If you chose "Essential only", no ad script is loaded and no ad cookies are set.

We do not control the specific ads shown; ad content is chosen by Google. Report any problematic ad to us — see §9.

8. Children

ToolFox is suitable for general audiences and does not knowingly collect any personal data from anyone — child or adult. There are no accounts, so there is nothing to collect.

9. Your rights and contact

Depending on your jurisdiction (e.g. GDPR in the EU, KVKK in Turkey) you have rights regarding personal data — access, correction, deletion. Because we store virtually no personal data, there is usually nothing to action; if you believe otherwise or have any privacy question, contact us at hello@toolfox.org and we will respond promptly.
