Privacy Policy

Overview

ToolzWorx ("we", "us", or "our") operates www.toolzworx.com, a website that provides free browser-based planning and design tools. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have when using our site.

Information we collect

Information you provide

Most ToolzWorx tools run entirely in your browser. We do not require an account to use the site. If you upload images or enter values into a tool, that data is processed locally in your browser unless a specific tool page states otherwise.

Automatically collected information

Like most websites, we and our service providers may automatically collect certain technical information when you visit ToolzWorx, such as:

• Browser type and version
• Device type and operating system
• Pages viewed and approximate visit time
• Referring website or search query
• IP address (which may be considered personal data in some regions)

This information helps us understand how the site is used, keep it secure, and improve performance.

Cookies and local storage

ToolzWorx may use:

• Essential local storage: for example, to remember your light/dark theme preference in your browser.
• Advertising cookies: placed by Google AdSense and related partners to show ads, limit how often you see an ad, and measure ad performance.
• Analytics cookies: we use Google Analytics to understand traffic and usage patterns in aggregate form (pages visited, approximate location, device type). You can opt out via Google's Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on or your browser's cookie settings.

You can control or delete cookies through your browser settings. Blocking cookies may affect site functionality or ad personalization. When you first visit ToolzWorx, a cookie banner lets you accept all cookies or continue with essential cookies only.

Google AdSense and advertising

We use Google AdSense to display advertisements on ToolzWorx. Google and its advertising partners may use cookies and similar technologies to serve ads based on your visits to this site and/or other sites on the Internet.

Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visit to ToolzWorx and/or other sites on the Internet.

Third-party vendors, including Google, may use cookies to serve ads on ToolzWorx. You may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google's Ads Settings.

Third-party services

We may rely on third-party providers for hosting, content delivery, analytics, and advertising. These providers process data according to their own privacy policies. We encourage you to review the policies of any third-party services you interact with through our site.

How we use information

We use collected information to:

• Provide, maintain, and improve ToolzWorx tools and pages
• Display advertisements that help keep the site free to use
• Monitor site security and prevent abuse
• Understand aggregate usage trends
• Comply with legal obligations

We do not sell your personal information.

Data retention

Information stored locally in your browser (such as theme preference) remains until you clear your browser storage. Server logs and advertising-related data retained by us or our providers are kept only as long as needed for the purposes described above or as required by law.

Your rights

Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or restrict processing of your personal data, or to object to certain processing. To make a privacy request, contact us using the details below. We will respond within a reasonable timeframe and as required by applicable law.

If you are in the European Economic Area or United Kingdom, you may also have the right to lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority.

Children's privacy

ToolzWorx is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us and we will take appropriate steps to remove it.

International visitors

ToolzWorx is available globally. If you access the site from outside your home country, your information may be processed in countries where we or our service providers operate, which may have different data protection laws than your jurisdiction.

Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. Continued use of ToolzWorx after changes are posted means you accept the updated policy.
