Privacy Policy

Introduction

Welcome to UsefulToolsOnline.com ("we", "our", or "us"). We respect your privacy and are committed to being transparent about how our website operates. This Privacy Policy explains what information may be collected when you visit our site, what stays on your device, and how optional analytics and advertising services work.

Information We Collect

UsefulToolsOnline.com is primarily a collection of browser-based tools, with optional premium account features. For local-only tools, we do not intentionally collect the values that you enter into the tool itself. In normal use, figures, text, and files entered into those tools stay in your browser and are not uploaded to our servers simply because you used the page.

If you request a magic-link sign-in or use a premium account, we may process your email address, session identifiers, account status, subscription status, and related security timestamps so we can authenticate you, keep sessions under your control, and deliver premium access.

If you choose to use cloud workspace sync on a premium ecommerce tool, the scenario names and values you save for that feature may be stored on our servers so they can be restored across devices. Some site preferences may be stored in your browser so the site can remember settings such as cookie choices. Certain optional third-party services may also collect information automatically if you give consent, as described below.

Optional Third-Party Services

Google Analytics

We use Google Analytics to understand which pages and tools are genuinely useful, how visitors navigate the site, and where we need to improve clarity or usability. Analytics is optional and is only loaded after you consent to analytics cookies. Google's ability to use and share information collected by Google Analytics is governed by the Google Privacy Policy.

Google AdSense

We use Google AdSense to display advertisements that help fund the free tools and editorial content on the site. AdSense is optional and is only loaded after you consent to advertising cookies. Depending on your region and settings, Google may use cookies or similar technologies to measure ad performance and, where allowed, personalise ads. You can learn more or manage ad settings by visiting Google Ads Settings.

Stripe

If premium checkout is enabled on the site, payments are processed by Stripe. We do not receive or store your full card details. Stripe may process payment information, billing information, and transaction metadata under its own privacy policy. We may receive limited subscription, customer, and payment-status data so we can activate and manage premium access.

Affiliate Links

Some pages on our site contain affiliate links to third-party products and services. If you click one of those links and choose to buy, we may earn a commission at no additional cost to you. Those third-party sites operate under their own privacy policies, which you should review separately.

Cookies

Our site uses a small amount of browser storage to remember your privacy choices, account session state, and similar settings. If you consent, Google Analytics and Google AdSense may also place cookies or use similar technologies for measurement and advertising purposes. For more detail, please see our Cookie Policy.

Local Tool Data

Most tool inputs remain local to your browser session. If a tool offers a local browser save feature, that storage remains on your device unless the page explicitly says otherwise. If a premium tool offers cloud workspace sync, that page is the exception: the saved scenario data for that feature may be stored server-side so it can be restored across devices. We do not claim that every browser or device is risk-free, so you should still use appropriate caution with sensitive information.

Children's Privacy

Our site is not intended for children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided personal data to us, please contact us so we can review the issue.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated revision date. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
