1. Who we are
ToolBase ("we", "our", "us") operates the website at toolbase.work and provides free online utility tools. Our contact email is hello@toolbase.work.
2. What data we collect
Tool inputs
All tool calculations happen entirely within your browser. Numbers, text, and dates you enter into our tools are never transmitted to our servers. We have no access to what you type.
Usage data (analytics)
We use Google Analytics to collect anonymous information about how visitors use ToolBase — pages visited, time spent, browser type, device type, and approximate location (country/region level). This data is aggregated and cannot identify you personally. You can opt out by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
Contact form
If you contact us via our contact form, we collect your name, email address, and the content of your message solely for the purpose of responding to your enquiry. We do not share this information with third parties.
3. Cookies
ToolBase itself does not set any cookies for its own purposes. However, third-party services we use (Google AdSense and Google Analytics) set cookies on your device. These cookies are used to:
- Serve relevant advertisements (AdSense)
- Measure website traffic and user behaviour (Analytics)
- Prevent repeated ad impressions
You can manage or disable cookies through your browser settings. Note that disabling cookies may affect how ads are displayed.
4. Advertising (Google AdSense)
We use Google AdSense to display advertisements on this website. Google AdSense uses cookies and web beacons to serve ads based on a user's prior visits to this and other websites. Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads based on your visit to ToolBase and/or other sites on the internet.
You may opt out of personalised advertising by visiting Google's Ads Settings. Alternatively, you can opt out of a third-party vendor's use of cookies for personalised advertising by visiting aboutads.info.
For more information on how Google uses data when you use our site, see How Google uses data when you use our partners' sites or apps.
5. Children's privacy
ToolBase is not directed at children under the age of 13. 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 delete it promptly.
6. Third-party links
Our website may contain links to third-party websites. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of those sites. We encourage you to read the privacy policy of any third-party site you visit.
7. Data retention
Since tool inputs are never sent to our servers, we retain no user-generated calculation data. Contact form submissions are retained for up to 12 months for correspondence purposes, then permanently deleted. Anonymised analytics data is retained per Google Analytics' standard retention settings (26 months).
8. Your rights
Depending on your location, you may have rights under GDPR (EU/UK), CCPA (California), or other applicable laws, including:
- The right to access personal data we hold about you
- The right to correct inaccurate data
- The right to request deletion of your data
- The right to opt out of data sale (we do not sell data)
To exercise any of these rights, contact us at hello@toolbase.work.
9. Changes to this policy
We may update this privacy policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated "last updated" date. We encourage you to review this policy periodically. Continued use of ToolBase after changes are posted constitutes your acceptance of those changes.
