Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains what information Discover Web Tools may collect, how that information is used, and what choices users have when using our website and browser-based tools.

1. Privacy-first tool usage

Many tools on Discover Web Tools process text, code, or files directly in your browser. In those cases, your input stays on your device unless a feature explicitly requires a server request. We build local-first workflows whenever technically possible to reduce unnecessary data transfer.

2. Information we may collect

Depending on how you use the site, we may collect:

• basic analytics data such as page views, referrers, and device information;
• cookie consent preferences;
• contact form or email communication details you choose to provide;
• account-related information if you create or sign in to an account;
• server logs needed for security, abuse prevention, and diagnostics.

3. Google Analytics

We use Google Analytics to understand aggregate site usage, such as which pages are visited most often, how visitors arrive on the site, and which devices or browsers are commonly used. Google Analytics may set cookies and process information such as IP address, browser type, approximate location, and interaction events. We use this information to improve site quality, content coverage, and usability.

4. Google AdSense

When Google AdSense is enabled on Discover Web Tools, Google and its partners may use cookies to serve and measure ads. These cookies may be used to personalize advertising based on prior visits to this and other websites, limit repetitive ad exposure, and measure campaign performance. AdSense-related processing is subject to Google's own privacy policies and user controls.

5. Cookie consent and legal bases

Where required by law, non-essential cookies such as analytics or advertising cookies are only activated after consent. Essential cookies used for site security, session continuity, and core functionality may be stored without prior consent because the website cannot operate properly without them.

6. How we use data

• to deliver the website and requested tool functionality;
• to maintain security, prevent fraud, and investigate abuse;
• to understand usage trends and improve content and performance;
• to respond to support requests, bug reports, and business inquiries;
• to comply with legal obligations.

7. Data sharing

We do not sell personal information. Data may be shared only with service providers that help operate the site, such as analytics, hosting, authentication, email delivery, or advertising partners, and only to the extent needed for those services. We may also disclose data if required by law or to protect the site, users, or our legal rights.

8. Data retention

We keep personal information only for as long as needed for the purpose it was collected, including security, support, legal, and operational requirements. Browser-processed tool inputs are generally not retained by us unless a feature explicitly depends on server-side processing.

9. GDPR and similar privacy rights

Depending on your location, you may have rights to:

• access the personal data we hold about you;
• request correction of inaccurate information;
• request deletion of data when retention is no longer necessary;
• object to or restrict certain processing activities;
• withdraw consent for analytics or advertising cookies;
• request a portable copy of the data you provided.

To exercise these rights, contact us at [email protected]. We may need to verify your identity before completing a request.

10. Children's privacy

Discover Web Tools is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under that age.

11. External services and links

Our website may link to third-party websites or rely on third-party providers. Their privacy practices are governed by their own policies, not this one.

12. Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Material changes will be reflected by updating the date at the top of this page.
