Privacy at a glance
The current ToolForge homepage includes locally
processed mini-tools, a saved-favorites feature
and a contact form. Additional WordPress services
and future tools may have different data practices.
1. Introduction
Welcome to ToolForge. This Privacy Policy explains
how information may be collected, used and protected
when you visit our website or interact with its
online tools.
ToolForge is the name of the website and its tools
directory. The website operator is responsible
for its data-handling practices. For questions
or requests, visit our
Contact Us page.
2. Information we collect
Information you provide
-
Contact details:
Your name and email address when you
send a contact message.
-
Message information:
The topic, subject and message submitted
through the contact form.
-
Tool inputs:
Text, JSON, numbers or images selected
for the tools you choose to use.
Technical information
Web hosting, WordPress and security services
may process IP addresses, browser information,
access logs and error details to operate
and protect the website.
3. How we use information
Information may be used to answer contact
requests, investigate errors, review feature
suggestions, maintain website performance,
prevent abuse and comply with legal obligations.
Where applicable, processing may be based on
your request for assistance, legitimate
operational interests, legal obligations
or consent when required. The appropriate
legal basis depends on the activity and
applicable privacy law.
4. Image and tool processing
The homepage Image to Base64 mini-demo
reads the image you select using your browser's
FileReader API. That demo does not send the
image to the ToolForge contact endpoint.
The current Word Counter, JSON tools,
text converters and calculator mini-demos
process their inputs using JavaScript
in your browser.
Future image editors, PDF tools and the
Custom Photo Blanket Designer may use
different processing methods. Their
privacy information must be updated
when those services are released.
5. Cookies and browser storage
The homepage Save Tool feature stores selected
tool identifiers in your browser's
localStorage under the key
tf-saved-tools-v3.
This preference remains in the same browser
until removed or cleared. It does not
automatically synchronize between devices.
WordPress, hosting services and other enabled
integrations may use cookies or similar
technologies. Learn more in our
Cookies Policy.
6. Sharing and service providers
Contact messages may be processed by our
WordPress contact endpoint and delivered
to the configured administrator email
through WordPress mail services.
Website hosting, security, email delivery
and other enabled third-party services
may process information necessary
to provide their services.
The current website design may load fonts
from Google Fonts, which involves a
request to that service.
7. How long information is kept
Saved tool favorites remain in your browser
until you remove them.
The supplied ToolForge contact-form PHP
snippet does not create a dedicated WordPress
database table for submissions. However,
messages may be retained in the recipient's
email inbox and email service logs.
Contact information should be kept for as
long as necessary to handle requests and
meet applicable recordkeeping obligations.
Hosting and security services may have
their own log-retention periods.
8. Security and international processing
ToolForge aims to use reasonable technical
protections, including HTTPS, input validation
and abuse-prevention controls where configured.
No online transmission or storage method
can be guaranteed completely secure.
Hosting, email delivery and external
resources may involve processing information
in different countries. Applicable
privacy laws may require additional
safeguards for these transfers.
9. Your privacy rights
Depending on where you live and the laws that
apply, you may have rights to:
- Request access to personal information.
- Request correction of inaccurate information.
- Request deletion where legally applicable.
- Object to or restrict certain processing.
- Request a copy of certain information.
- Withdraw consent where consent is the basis.
- Complain to a relevant privacy authority.
Send requests using our
Contact Us page.
We may need to verify a request before
responding to it.
10. Children's privacy
ToolForge is a general-purpose online tools
website and is not directed specifically
toward children.
If you believe a child has provided information
that needs attention or deletion, please
contact us.
11. Contact and policy updates
We may revise this policy when tools,
processing methods, integrations or legal
requirements change.
The latest revision date appears at
the top of this page.
For questions or privacy requests,
contact ToolForge.
