Introduction
Privy Tools ("we", "us", "our") provides a collection of browser-based utility tools that run primarily in your web browser. We are committed to protecting your privacy and providing transparency about how data is processed.
What data we collect
Most of our tools run 100% offline in your browser and do not send your input data to any server. However, some parts of the site may make network requests for features such as currency conversion rates or optional feedback submission.
- Input data for tools: processed locally in your browser and not sent to our servers by default.
- Analytics and advertising: we may use third-party services (see below) that may collect certain information for performance, analytics, and advertising purposes.
- Feedback form: if you choose to submit feedback, you may provide your name and email. This is optional and used only to respond to you.
Google AdSense & Advertising
We use Google AdSense to display ads on this site. Google may use cookies and other identifiers to serve ads based on your browsing activity. Google's use of advertising cookies is subject to Google's Advertising Policies and How Google uses data.
Advertising Data Collection: When you visit our site, Google AdSense may collect certain information including:
- Your IP address
- Browser type and version
- Pages you visit on our site
- Time and date of your visit
- Referring website addresses
- Cookies and similar tracking technologies
This information is used to serve relevant advertisements and measure ad performance. We do not have direct access to this data, and it is managed by Google according to their privacy policies.
If you prefer not to receive personalized ads from Google, you can opt-out through Ads Settings or use browser-level tracking controls. You can also opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google's Ad Settings.
Consent & CMP
We include Google’s Certified Consent Management Platform (CMP) to manage consent for personalized advertising where required. Consent choices are respected and managed according to the CMP interface.

Third-party services
We may use third-party services such as:

Data retention
We retain only the data that is necessary for the feature you use. Most processing happens locally and is not retained by us. For feedback submissions, we retain your message and optional contact info to respond and improve the site.
