Privacy Policy

ToolTive (“ToolTive,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) operates https://tooltive.com and provides free online tools and utilities through the website.

This Privacy Policy explains what information may be collected when you use ToolTive, how that information may be used, and the choices available to you.

By using ToolTive, you acknowledge the practices described in this Privacy Policy.

1. Information We Collect

Information You Provide

ToolTive does not require you to create an account or register to use our tools.

If you contact us through our contact form or by email, you may provide information such as:

  • Full name
  • Email address
  • Subject
  • Message or other information included in your inquiry

We use this information to review, respond to, and manage your inquiry or support request.

Contact information and correspondence may be retained in our designated business email system for communication and record-keeping purposes.

Our public contact email is: support@tooltive.com

Information Collected Automatically

When you visit a website, certain technical information may be processed automatically as part of operating, securing, and delivering the website.

Because ToolTive is hosted on Cloudflare Pages, Cloudflare may process technical information associated with website requests, which can include information such as IP address, browser or user-agent information, timestamps, and other technical or security-related request information.

This processing may support website delivery, security, abuse prevention, reliability, and network operations.

ToolTive does not operate its own custom visitor logging system.

2. Browser-Based Tool Processing & Remote Requests

Many ToolTive utilities are designed to operate directly within your web browser using client-side technologies.

Where a tool operates entirely on the client side (such as our Image Compressor, Image to PDF Converter, and Profit Margin Calculator), files and data entered into the tool remain in your browser memory during processing and are not uploaded to or stored on ToolTive's servers.

For tools that evaluate publicly accessible web resources (such as our XML Sitemap Generator crawler and Robots.txt Tester fetcher), our Cloudflare Edge infrastructure makes a temporary, automated HTTP request to retrieve the public sitemap or robots.txt file specified by the user. These requests do not transmit or retain personal user files.

3. Cookies and Local Browser Storage

ToolTive does not set first-party tracking or authentication cookies for its core website functionality.

To provide drafting convenience, certain browser-based tools make use of browser local storage (localStorage) on your local device:

  • Invoice Generator: Temporarily saves active invoice drafts, line items, and styling preferences (under the storage key tooltive-storage) so you do not lose progress if your browser window refreshes.
  • SEO Schema Generator: Saves in-progress structured data form entries (under the storage key tooltive_schema_generator_draft_v1).

This draft information resides strictly on your local device within your web browser. It is not transmitted to ToolTive servers and can be deleted at any time through your browser settings or in-tool reset buttons.

Third-party services integrated into the website (including Google Analytics and Google AdSense) may set and read cookies, web beacons, or unique device identifiers to analyze site usage and deliver advertising.

4. Advertising and Google AdSense

ToolTive is configured with Google AdSense (Publisher ID: pub-9227549190577691) to help support free access to our tools.

Google and third-party advertising partners may use cookies, web beacons, or device identifiers to serve, measure, and personalize advertising.

When advertisements are enabled, third-party vendors, including Google, may use cookies to serve ads based on a user's previous visits to ToolTive or other websites across the internet.

Users may manage their personalization preferences or opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings or aboutads.info.

For more details on Google's privacy practices, please review How Google uses information from sites or apps that use our services.

5. Analytics and Measurement

ToolTive uses Google Analytics (Measurement ID: G-877CM9ZVF7) to measure website traffic, monitor page performance, understand tool adoption, and diagnose technical issues.

Google Analytics processes aggregated, non-personally identifiable technical information such as device type, browser characteristics, referring URLs, approximate geographic location, and interaction events.

6. Google Tag Management Infrastructure

ToolTive uses Google tag loading infrastructure (gtag.js) to load analytics and site verification scripts efficiently.

Third-party services may process technical information or set or read cookies and similar technologies depending on how they are configured.

ToolTive does not currently use third-party chat widgets, social-login systems, advertising networks other than those that may be introduced through its monetization setup, or external APIs to process user files.

The third-party services used by ToolTive may change as the website develops. When such services materially affect user data or privacy, this Privacy Policy will be updated as appropriate.

7. Cloudflare & Security

ToolTive is hosted and delivered through Cloudflare Pages.

Cloudflare provides infrastructure and security services that may involve processing technical information associated with requests to ToolTive, including information used for network delivery, security, abuse prevention, and reliability.

We use Cloudflare Turnstile to protect our forms (such as the contact form and newsletter subscription) from spam and automated abuse. Turnstile securely verifies that a visitor is a real human without requiring them to solve interactive puzzles. This process may involve analyzing technical information such as browser details and interaction patterns.

Cloudflare may use security and network technologies to detect and mitigate malicious traffic, attacks, automated abuse, and other threats.

ToolTive also uses Cloudflare's content delivery infrastructure to help deliver website resources efficiently.

For information about Cloudflare's handling of personal data and privacy practices, users should review Cloudflare's current privacy documentation.

8. Third-Party Content and Assets

ToolTive may use third-party resources necessary for website functionality or presentation.

For example, the website currently uses Font Awesome resources delivered through Cloudflare's cdnjs infrastructure.

ToolTive may also use locally served, build-optimized fonts and other website assets.

Third-party resources may change as the website is updated. Where a third-party service processes personal information or uses tracking technologies, the applicable disclosure will be reflected in this Privacy Policy where appropriate.

9. Contact Form and Communications

ToolTive provides a contact form that allows visitors to send inquiries.

The contact form may request:

  • Full name
  • Email address
  • Subject
  • Message

Information submitted through the contact form is used to review and respond to the inquiry.

Contact correspondence may be delivered to and retained within ToolTive's designated business email system.

ToolTive does not sell contact information or use contact-form submissions for unrelated advertising purposes.

Please do not submit passwords, payment card information, confidential credentials, or other highly sensitive information through the contact form.

10. How We Use Information

Information available to ToolTive may be used to:

  • Provide and maintain the website
  • Respond to support and contact requests
  • Communicate with users who contact us
  • Protect the website against abuse, fraud, malicious activity, and security threats
  • Monitor and improve website performance
  • Improve our tools and user experience
  • Comply with applicable legal obligations
  • Support advertising and analytics services when those services are enabled

We do not sell personal information as a standalone data product.

11. Data Sharing and Disclosure

ToolTive does not sell or rent users' personal information.

Information may be processed or disclosed when reasonably necessary to:

  • Provide website infrastructure and security
  • Respond to user inquiries
  • Operate third-party services integrated into the website
  • Provide advertising or analytics services when enabled
  • Protect ToolTive, its users, or the public from security threats, fraud, abuse, or unlawful activity
  • Comply with legal obligations, lawful requests, or applicable regulations
  • Enforce our terms and policies

Third-party service providers may process information on our behalf or independently in accordance with their own applicable privacy policies and terms.

12. Data Retention

ToolTive retains information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, including responding to communications, maintaining appropriate business records, protecting the website, resolving disputes, complying with legal obligations, and maintaining security.

Retention periods may vary depending on the type of information, its purpose, applicable legal requirements, and the systems used to process it.

Files processed entirely within a user's browser are not retained by ToolTive as server-side uploads because they are not transmitted to ToolTive's servers for processing.

13. Data Security

ToolTive takes reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect information against unauthorized access, misuse, alteration, disclosure, or destruction.

Our website uses HTTPS and security-related technologies provided through our hosting and infrastructure.

ToolTive also uses Cloudflare's network and security infrastructure to help protect the website against malicious traffic and attacks.

No method of transmission or electronic storage can be guaranteed to be completely secure. Therefore, while we take reasonable precautions, we cannot guarantee absolute security.

14. Your Privacy Choices and Rights

Depending on your location and applicable law, you may have certain rights regarding your personal information.

These rights may include, where applicable:

  • Requesting access to personal information we hold about you
  • Requesting correction of inaccurate information
  • Requesting deletion of information
  • Objecting to or restricting certain processing
  • Withdrawing consent where processing is based on consent
  • Requesting information about how your data is processed

To make a privacy-related request, contact us at: support@tooltive.com

We may need to verify a request before taking action in order to protect user privacy and prevent unauthorized requests.

When advertising services are enabled, certain visitors may be presented with consent or privacy-choice messages depending on their location and the applicable requirements.

For users in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, and Switzerland, Google currently requires publishers using its advertising products to use an appropriate consent management solution when serving personalized advertising. Google requires a Google-certified CMP integrated with the IAB Transparency and Consent Framework for personalized ads in these regions.

ToolTive will configure its advertising and consent mechanisms according to the Google services actually deployed and the applicable requirements at the time those services are enabled.

Google's Privacy & Messaging system may be used to provide users with appropriate consent and privacy choices. Google also provides consent-mode functionality for compatible Google services such as Google Analytics.

16. Children's Privacy

ToolTive is a general-purpose online tools website and is not knowingly directed toward children under the age of 13.

We do not knowingly request or collect personal information from children under 13 through our website.

If you believe that a child has provided personal information to ToolTive, please contact us at support@tooltive.com so that we can review the matter and take appropriate action where required.

17. International Users

ToolTive is operated from Pakistan and may be accessed by users around the world.

Depending on where you are located, your information may be processed by infrastructure or service providers operating in different countries.

Where applicable, ToolTive will take reasonable steps to address privacy and data-protection requirements relevant to the processing of personal information.

Users located in jurisdictions with specific privacy rights may contact us using the information provided in this Privacy Policy.

18. Third-Party Websites and Services

ToolTive may contain links to external websites, services, or resources.

We are not responsible for the privacy practices, content, security, or policies of third-party websites.

We encourage users to review the privacy policies and terms of any external service they choose to visit or use.

19. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes to ToolTive, our services, third-party integrations, applicable legal requirements, or our privacy practices.
