ToolForge Privacy

Your privacy, explained clearly.

Learn how ToolForge handles contact information, browser-based tools, saved preferences, website security and your privacy choices.

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.
