Overview
ToolFlash ("we," "us," or "our") operates the website toolflash.net (the "Site"). This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and your rights regarding your data. By using our Site, you agree to the practices described here.
Information We Collect
We collect two types of information:
- Information you provide: When you contact us via our contact form, we collect your name and email address so we can respond to your inquiry.
- Information collected automatically: Like most websites, we collect certain information automatically when you visit: your IP address, browser type, operating system, referring URLs, pages visited, and time spent on those pages. This is standard web server log data.
Important: Our tools (password generators, calculators, word counters, etc.) process all data entirely in your browser. Text, passwords, or any input you enter into our tools is never sent to our servers.
Cookies and Tracking Technologies
We use cookies and similar tracking technologies for the following purposes:
- Analytics: We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors use our site (pages visited, time on site, traffic sources). This data is aggregated and anonymous. Google Analytics may set cookies to distinguish unique users and sessions.
- Advertising: We participate in the Google AdSense program to display relevant advertisements. Google and its partners may use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to our site and other sites on the internet. You can opt out of personalized advertising at adssettings.google.com.
- Preferences: We may use localStorage (browser storage) to remember your preferences, such as selected settings in a tool.
Google AdSense and Advertising
We use Google AdSense to display advertisements on our Site. Google AdSense uses cookies (including the DoubleClick cookie) to serve ads based on your interests and prior browsing. Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to our website or other websites.
Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visit to our site and/or other sites on the Internet. You may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings. For more information about how Google uses data from sites that use their services, visit How Google uses information from sites or apps that use our services.

We use the information we collect to:
- Operate and improve the Site and its tools
- Respond to contact form inquiries

- Display relevant advertisements via Google AdSense
- Comply with legal obligations
We do not sell your personal information to third parties.
Data Sharing
We do not sell, trade, or otherwise transfer your personal information to outside parties, except:
- Service providers: We share data with trusted third-party service providers (such as Google Analytics and Google AdSense) who assist us in operating our website. These parties are obligated to keep your information confidential.
- Legal requirements: We may disclose your information when required by law or when we believe disclosure is necessary to protect our rights, comply with a judicial proceeding, court order, or legal process.
Data Retention
We retain contact form submissions for up to 12 months. Server log data is retained for up to 90 days. Analytics data is retained according to Google Analytics' standard data retention settings (26 months by default). You can request deletion of your data at any time by contacting us.

Children's Privacy
Our Site is not directed to children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has provided us with personal information, please contact us and we will delete that information.
Security
We implement appropriate technical and organizational security measures to protect your information against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. However, no method of transmission over the Internet is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
