Privacy Policy
Welcome to ToolGalaxy (“ToolGalaxy”, “we”, “our”, or “us”). Your privacy is important to us. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect information when you visit and use toolgalaxy.dev and our online tools.
ToolGalaxy is designed to be privacy-friendly. All of our tools run entirely in your browser, so your files and content generally stay on your device.
Information We Collect
1) Information You Provide Voluntarily
We collect personal information only when you choose to provide it. For example, if you contact us via our Contact page, we may receive the information you submit (such as your name, email address, and message) so we can respond.
2) Data Processed Locally (Not Collected)
All ToolGalaxy tools operate fully client-side. This means:
- No file uploads (for most tools): Files you process stay on your device
- No accounts required: You can use our tools without signing up
- No content storage: We do not store processed files, code, or text on our servers
Note: If we ever introduce a tool that requires server processing, we will clearly disclose it within the tool and update this policy accordingly.
3) Automatically Collected Technical Information
Like most websites, limited technical information may be collected automatically, such as:
- IP address (typically used for security, fraud prevention, and abuse detection)
- Browser type, device information, and operating system
- Pages visited and approximate timestamps
- Referring/exit pages and basic diagnostic data
This data is used in an aggregated and limited manner to operate, secure, and improve the site. We do not use it to personally identify you.
Cookies and Local Storage
ToolGalaxy uses minimal cookies and browser storage for essential functionality, such as:
- Preferences: remembering theme settings (light/dark mode)
- Functionality: supporting tool behavior during a session
Where required by law, non-essential cookies (such as advertising cookies) are used only with your consent. You can manage or clear cookies at any time through your browser settings.
Advertising (Google AdSense)
ToolGalaxy may show ads served by Google AdSense. Google and its partners may use cookies or similar technologies to:
- Measure ad performance
- Limit ad frequency
- Show personalized or non-personalized ads depending on your consent and region
You can learn more about how Google uses data here: Google Privacy Policy.
You can manage ad personalization settings here: Google Ad Settings.
Analytics
We may use analytics to understand overall site usage (such as page views, traffic sources, and general usage patterns). Analytics data is used primarily in aggregate to help us improve ToolGalaxy and is not intended to personally identify users.
How We Use Information
We use information to:
- Operate and maintain the website and tools
- Improve user experience and tool quality
- Respond to messages submitted through the Contact page
- Secure the site, prevent abuse, and troubleshoot issues
- Comply with legal obligations
We do not sell your personal data for monetary value. However, we may share anonymized data with third-party advertising partners (like Google) for ad personalization, subject to your consent settings.
Data Security
- All tool processing happens locally in your browser
- We do not store processed user files/content on our servers
- We use HTTPS encryption to protect communications
- We take reasonable steps to protect against unauthorized access
Data Retention
We retain contact messages only as long as needed to respond and provide support. Limited technical logs (if any) are retained for reasonable periods for security and operational purposes.
Your Rights
Depending on your location, you may have rights such as:
- Request access to personal data you provided
- Request correction or deletion of your data
