Privacy Policy

Last updated: 2026-08-30

This policy explains what data Tools Guru Hub (toolsguruhub.com) collects, who else can collect data when you visit, and how you control it. We do not sell your personal data. Most of our tools run entirely in your browser. This page is written to align with India's Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 (DPDPA) and the DPDP Rules, 2025.

1. Data we collect ourselves

• Tool input stays on your device. Text, files, keys, and passphrases you enter into our tools are processed in your browser. We do not transmit them to our servers unless a tool's own page explicitly says otherwise.
• Server access logs. Our hosting provider records the usual request metadata - IP address, user agent, requested URL, timestamp - and retains it briefly for security and abuse prevention.
• Email you send us. If you contact us, we keep the message as long as we need it to respond.
• No accounts. There is currently no sign-up, so we hold no profiles, passwords, or payment details.

2. Cookies and similar technologies

We use three categories of cookies and local storage. You choose which non-essential categories to allow, and you can change your mind at any time from the cookie preferences link in our footer. Withdrawing consent is as easy as giving it.

• Strictly necessary - your theme choice and your consent decision itself. These run without consent because the site cannot function correctly without them.
• Analytics - Google Analytics 4 and Microsoft Clarity, used to understand which pages and tools are used and where the site is slow or broken. Clarity also records anonymised interaction data such as clicks and scrolling. These load only if you allow the analytics category.
• Advertising - see the next section. These load only if you allow the advertising category.

3. Advertising and third-party cookies

We use third-party advertising to keep the tools free. You should understand the following:

• Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this website or other websites.
• Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visits to this site and/or other sites on the internet.
• These third parties may place and read cookies on your browser, or use web beacons and IP addresses, to collect information as a result of ad serving on this site. We do not control those cookies and cannot read them.
• If we have not opted out of third-party ad serving, cookies of other third-party vendors or ad networks may also be used to serve ads on this site.

For detail on what Google collects when you use a partner site, see How Google uses information from sites or apps that use our services.

How to opt out. You can turn off personalised advertising for Google at Google Ad Settings, and opt out of many other vendors' use of cookies for personalised advertising at aboutads.info or the Network Advertising Initiative opt-out page. You can also simply decline the advertising category in our cookie banner, which stops these scripts from loading on this site at all.

4. Your rights

You have rights over your personal data under the DPDPA 2023 and the DPDP Rules 2025, including access, correction, and erasure. Because we hold almost no identifiable data about visitors, most requests are satisfied by clearing your browser storage and withdrawing consent. For anything else, email contact@toolsguruhub.com and we will respond within a reasonable period.

Visitors in the EEA, the UK, and Switzerland are additionally shown a consent message covering personalised advertising, as required by Google's EU User Consent Policy and the GDPR.

5. Children

This site is aimed at developers and other adult users. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children.

6. Changes to this policy

We will update this page when our practices or the applicable law change, and will revise the date at the top. Material changes to how we use advertising or analytics will be reflected here before they take effect.
