Privacy & Cookies Policy

1. Introduction

FreeTool.dev ("we", "our", or "us") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy and Cookies Policy explains what information we collect when you visit freetool.dev (the "Site"), how we use it, and the choices available to you. By continuing to use the Site, you acknowledge and agree to the practices described in this Policy.

2. Information We Collect

We do not require you to create an account or provide any personal information to use our tools. The following information may be collected through third-party services (Google Analytics and Google AdSense), subject to your consent preferences:

• Anonymized and truncated IP addresses (processed by Google Analytics).
• Browser type, device type, and operating system.
• Pages visited, time spent on each page, and referring URLs.
• General geographic region (country/city level, derived from truncated IP).

This information is collected in aggregate form and cannot be used to personally identify you. We do not store, collect, or sell any data you input into our tools.

3. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

We use cookies and similar tracking technologies to analyze Site usage and serve relevant advertising. This Site uses Google Consent Mode v2. In regions where prior consent is required, analytics and advertising storage default to denied until you make a choice in the privacy notice managed by Google's Privacy & Messaging platform. In other regions, analytics may be enabled by default to help us understand aggregate Site usage and improve our tools, while advertising storage and personalization remain restricted unless allowed by applicable Google controls or consent settings. The types of cookies involved are:

• Analytics cookies — collect aggregate data about how visitors interact with the Site; where required by applicable law, they are only active after consent.
• Advertising cookies — used by Google to serve personalized ads (only active after consent; non-personalized ads may be shown without consent).

We do not use cookies to collect personally identifiable information, and we do not sell your data to third parties.

4. Google Analytics

This Site uses Google Analytics 4 (GA4), a web analytics service provided by Google LLC ("Google"). The GA4 script is loaded for visitors and operates under Google Consent Mode v2. In regions where prior consent is required, analytics_storage defaults to denied until consent is granted. In other regions, analytics may be enabled by default to help us understand aggregate Site usage and improve our tools. We do not use analytics to identify individual users, and you can limit or block analytics through your browser settings or the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on. Your full IP address is never stored by Google on our behalf.

• Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on

5. Advertising — Google AdSense & DoubleClick DART Cookie

We use Google AdSense to display advertisements on the Site. The AdSense script is loaded for all visitors and operates under Google Consent Mode v2 with ad_storage, ad_user_data, and ad_personalization set to denied by default. Without your consent, only non-personalized (limited) ads may be shown and no advertising cookies that identify you are set. When you grant advertising consent, Google and its partners may use cookies to serve personalized ads based on your visits to this Site and other sites on the Internet.

You can manage or opt out of personalized advertising at any time:

• Google Ad Settings
• Google Ad Policies

6. Disabling or Managing Cookies

You can review and change your cookie preferences at any time by clicking the "Cookies" link in the footer of any page on this Site. You may also control cookies directly in your browser settings — most browsers allow you to refuse new cookies, delete existing cookies, or be notified when a new cookie is set. Please note that disabling certain cookies may affect the functionality of some Site features.

Residents of the European Union may also use the Your Online Choices platform to manage behavioral advertising preferences. You can also manage or limit ad personalization at any time via Google Ad Settings.

7. Data Processing & Tool Privacy

All interactive tools available on FreeTool.dev operate entirely within your browser. No input data — text, files, or any other content you paste or upload — is transmitted to our servers, stored, logged, or shared with any third party. FreeTool.dev does not store, collect, or sell any data you input into our tools. Your data never leaves your device while using our tools.

The "Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information" notice that may appear at the bottom of the page (shown to applicable residents under the CCPA and similar laws) refers exclusively to advertising and analytics data collected by Google — it has no relation to content you enter into our tools.

8. International Data Transfers

Data collected via Google Analytics and Google AdSense is processed on Google LLC servers located in the United States. These transfers are governed by Google's data processing agreements, which include the EU-US Data Privacy Framework (DPF) and Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs), recognized safeguards under applicable privacy frameworks including GDPR and LGPD. For more information, see Google's Privacy Policy.

9. External Links

The Site may contain links to third-party websites. We are not responsible for the content, privacy practices, or security of those sites. We encourage you to read the privacy policies of any external site you visit, as their practices may differ significantly from ours.

10. Children's Privacy

FreeTool.dev is not directed at children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect any personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal data, please contact us so we can take appropriate action.

11. Your Rights

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have the right to:

• Access the personal data we hold about you.
• Request correction or deletion of your data.
• Object to or restrict certain types of data processing.
• Withdraw consent at any time via the "Cookies" link in the Site footer, or by disabling cookies in your browser.
• Lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority.

Because we collect only anonymized analytics data through Google Analytics and do not maintain user accounts, most of these rights are exercised directly through your browser or Google's own privacy controls linked above.

12. Changes to This Policy

We reserve the right to update this Privacy Policy periodically to reflect changes in our practices or applicable law. When we do, we will revise the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. Continued use of the Site after any changes constitutes your acceptance of the updated Policy. We encourage you to review this page periodically.
