Privacy Policy

Last updated: January 2026

1. Information We Collect

We collect only the minimum data necessary to operate our services:

• Account Information: When you sign in via Google OAuth, we receive your name, email address, and profile picture from Google. This data is used exclusively for account identification and display on the Website.
• Analytics Data: We use Google Analytics to collect anonymized usage data including pages visited, session duration, browser type, device type, and referring URLs. This data is aggregated and does not personally identify individual visitors.
• Submission Data: When you submit a tool for listing, we collect the domain, tool name, description, category selections, and uploaded media (favicon and screenshot) that you provide.
• User-Generated Content: Comments and ratings posted on tool pages are stored along with your display name and profile picture.

Client-Side Tools: Our browser-based utilities (JSON formatter, regex tester, Base64 encoder, and all other tools) process data entirely on your device using client-side JavaScript. We do not access, collect, store, or transmit any data you input into these tools. No server-side processing occurs during tool use.

2. How We Use Information

We use collected information for the following purposes:

• To provide, maintain, and improve our directory and tool services.
• To process and review tool submissions.
• To display user-submitted content (comments, ratings) on relevant pages.
• To analyze website traffic and usage patterns through aggregated analytics.
• To maintain security and prevent abuse of our services.
• To communicate with users regarding account-related matters or submission status.

We do not sell, rent, or share your personal information with third parties for their own marketing purposes.

3. Third-Party Services

We integrate the following services, each governed by its own privacy policy:

• Google Analytics: Collects anonymized traffic data using cookies (_ga, _gid, _gat). For more information, see Google's Privacy Policy. Opt out via the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
• Google AdSense: Serves advertisements on our Website. AdSense may use cookies and web beacons for ad delivery and measurement. For more information, see Google's Advertising Policies. Manage ad personalization in Google Ads Settings.
• Google OAuth: Authenticates user accounts. Google's Privacy Policy applies to the authentication process. We do not receive your Google password.

4. Cookies

We use cookies and similar technologies for essential functionality, analytics, and advertising. For detailed information about specific cookies and how to manage them, see our Cookie Policy.

5. Data Security

We implement appropriate technical and organizational security measures to protect your personal information. These include:

• HTTPS encryption for all data transmission.
• Secure server infrastructure with access controls and firewalls.
• Limited internal access to personal data on a need-to-know basis.
• Regular security reviews of our systems and dependencies.

While we strive to protect your information, no method of electronic transmission or storage is absolutely secure. We cannot guarantee the complete security of your data.

6. Your Rights

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have rights regarding your personal data:

• Access: Request a copy of personal data we hold about you.
• Deletion: Request deletion of your account and associated data.
• Correction: Request correction of inaccurate personal information.
• Portability: Request your data in a structured, machine-readable format.
• Opt-out: Disable analytics tracking through browser extensions or cookie settings.

To exercise these rights, contact us at [email protected]. We will respond within 30 days.

7. Children's Privacy

Our services are not directed to children under the age of 13 (or the applicable age in your jurisdiction). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If we become aware that a child has provided us with personal data, we will delete it promptly. Parents or guardians who believe their child has provided information may contact us.

8. Changes to This Policy
