Privacy Policy
Last updated: July 2026
This Privacy Policy explains how Toolyard ("we," "us," "our") handles information when you use toolyard.app (the "Site"). Toolyard's tools are designed to run in your browser, and most tools process your input locally without sending it to our servers.
Information We Collect
We aim to collect as little personal information as possible. Depending on how you use the Site, we may collect:
- Usage data — pages visited, tools used, browser type, device type, and general location (city/country level), collected automatically through analytics.
- Contact information — if you email us or use a contact form, we receive whatever you provide (e.g. your email address and message).
- Cookies and similar technologies — small files stored on your device to remember preferences and support advertising, described below.
Most tools (word counter, unit converter, JSON formatter, password generator, image compressor, etc.) process the text or files you enter directly in your browser. That content is not uploaded to or stored on our servers unless a specific tool states otherwise.
Cookies & Advertising
Toolyard displays advertising through Google AdSense and may use other third-party ad networks. These partners may use cookies, web beacons, and similar technologies to collect information about your visits to this and other websites, in order to provide advertisements about goods and services of interest to you.
Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads based on your visit to this site and/or other sites on the Internet. You can opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google's Ads Settings, or generally at aboutads.info.
Analytics
We may use third-party analytics services (such as Google Analytics) to understand how visitors use the Site. These services may collect information such as your IP address, browser type, pages viewed, and time spent on the Site. This data is used in aggregate to improve Toolyard.
How We Use Information
- To operate, maintain, and improve the Site and its tools
- To display relevant advertising
- To respond to support requests and feedback
- To monitor and prevent misuse of the Site
Data Sharing
We do not sell your personal information. We may share limited data with service providers (such as hosting, analytics, and advertising partners) strictly to operate the Site, or when required by law.
Children's Privacy
Toolyard is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us and we will remove it.
Your Choices
You can control cookies through your browser settings, and opt out of personalized ads using the links above. Disabling cookies may affect how some parts of the Site function.
