Privacy Policy
Last updated: July 12, 2026
This Privacy Policy explains how TOOLS WORLD("we," "us," or "our") collects, uses, and protects information when you visit www.toolsworldonline.com(the "Site"). By using the Site, you agree to the practices described in this policy and our Terms and Conditions.
Summary
- Tool input stays on your device. Nearly all developer tools run in your browser. We do not receive or store the JSON, code, or other data you paste into those tools.
- One exception: Meta Tags Toolkit.When you paste a URL into the Meta Tags Toolkit and click Fetch, our server requests that public page's HTML to extract title, description, and Open Graph tags. The URL and fetched HTML are not stored or logged after the request completes.
Information we do not collect from tools
Nearly every interactive tool on TOOLS WORLD processes data locally in your web browser using client-side JavaScript. When you format JSON, generate a UUID, encode Base64, or use any other tool, your input is not uploaded to our servers for processing, storage, or analysis. We cannot access the content you paste into those tools.
The Meta Tags Toolkit is the one exception. When you submit a URL to fetch its meta tags, our server makes a short-lived outbound request to that public URL, parses the HTML for title and Open Graph values, and returns the result to your browser. We do not store, log, or retain the URL or page content after the response is sent.
Information we may collect automatically
When you visit the Site, we and our third-party partners may automatically collect certain non-personal and technical information, including:
- Browser type and version
- Operating system
- Pages visited and time spent on pages
- Referring website or search query
- General geographic location (country or city level, derived from IP)
- Device type (desktop, mobile, tablet)
This information is used to operate the Site, improve content, analyze traffic patterns, and display relevant advertising.
Google Analytics
We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors use the Site. Google Analytics uses cookies and similar technologies to collect usage data in aggregated form. This helps us see which pages and tools are most useful.
Google's handling of this data is described in Google's Privacy Policy. You can opt out of Google Analytics by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
Cookies
Cookies are small text files stored on your device. We and our partners use cookies for:
- Analytics (understanding site usage)
- Advertising (serving and measuring ads)
- Security and basic site functionality
You can control or delete cookies through your browser settings. Disabling cookies may affect certain Site features but will not prevent you from using our browser-based tools.
Server logs
Our hosting provider may log standard request metadata such as IP address, user agent, requested URL, and timestamp for security, rate limiting, and troubleshooting. These logs are not linked to tool input because tool processing does not occur on the server.
Third-party links
The Site may contain links to external websites (documentation, RFCs, vendor resources). We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those third-party sites. We encourage you to read their privacy policies.
Children's privacy
TOOLS WORLD is not directed at children under the age of 13 (or the applicable age in your jurisdiction). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us through our About page and we will take steps to delete it.
Data retention
Analytics and server log data are retained only as long as necessary for the purposes described above, in accordance with our service providers' policies and applicable law.
Your rights
Depending on your location, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or restrict processing of personal data held about you. Because we do not collect tool input and rely on third-party services for analytics and advertising, most requests should be directed to those providers using the opt-out links above.
Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated "Last updated" date. Continued use of the Site after changes constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
