Privacy Policy

1. About This Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how TheToolMint handles information when you use our website and online tools. We aim to collect only information that is reasonably necessary to operate, secure, maintain, and improve the website.

2. How Our Tools Process Your Data

Many TheToolMint utilities are designed to process inputs directly in your web browser. Where a tool operates entirely in the browser, the files, text, or values you enter are processed on your device rather than being uploaded to our server.

Processing can vary by tool. Please review the information provided on an individual tool page.

• Browser-based tools process supported inputs locally on your device.
• Text and developer utilities may process the information you enter within your browser.
• Where a tool generates passwords or cryptographic values locally, the values are generated within your browser.

3. Local Storage

Some features use your browser's localStorage to remember preferences or locally useful information. The current implementation may use the following storage keys:

• thetoolmint_theme: Stores your selected Light or Dark mode preference.
• thetoolmint_recent_tools: Stores up to 6 recently used tool slugs for the Recently Used section.
• wheel_of_names_entries: Stores participant names entered into the Wheel of Names tool on your device.

This information is stored in your browser's local storage and is not intended to be used as a server-side user profile.

4. Server Logs and Security

Our hosting infrastructure may automatically record standard technical information in server logs, such as IP address, browser or user-agent information, requested URLs or file paths, referring URL, and request date and time.

These logs may be used for security, abuse prevention, troubleshooting, performance monitoring, and maintaining the reliability of the website.

5. Cookies, Advertising, and Third-Party Services

TheToolMint may use cookies or similar technologies where they are necessary for website functionality, security, analytics, or other services that we may introduce.

If third-party advertising, including Google AdSense, is enabled on TheToolMint, advertising providers may use cookies, web beacons, IP addresses, or similar technologies to serve and measure advertisements. Third parties may also place or read cookies on your browser as part of ad serving.

Google provides users with controls for managing personalized advertising through Google Ads Settings. Information about Google's use of data on partner sites is available through Google's partner-sites privacy information.

Where applicable, advertising and consent practices will be implemented according to the requirements that apply to the users and services involved.

6. Third-Party Links

TheToolMint may contain links to third-party websites or services. We do not control those websites and are not responsible for their privacy practices. Please review the privacy policy of any third-party service you choose to use.

7. Data Security

We use reasonable technical and organizational measures appropriate to the operation of the website. However, no website, browser, network, or internet transmission can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

8. Children's Privacy

TheToolMint is not specifically directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly request personal information from children through the website.

9. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy when our website, tools, services, or data practices change. Any update will be reflected on this page with a revised "Last updated" date.
