Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

ToolStrive provides free online utilities for text, images, calculations, developers and generators.

We respect the privacy of our visitors and aim to explain clearly what information may be processed when the website is used.

2. Browser-Based Tool Processing

Many ToolStrive tools are designed to perform their main operation locally in your browser using technologies such as JavaScript and browser APIs.

Examples include:

• Counting or transforming text.
• Formatting, encoding or decoding text and data.
• Performing mathematical calculations.
• Generating passwords, UUIDs or random numbers.
• Processing supported images using browser technologies such as the Canvas API.

When a tool states that processing occurs locally in your browser, the information used for that specific operation does not need to be uploaded to ToolStrive.

3. Information You Provide

You may voluntarily provide personal information when you contact ToolStrive through our contact form or by email.

This information may include:

• Your name.
• Your email address.
• The subject or category of your message.
• The content of your message.
• Other information you voluntarily include.

Please do not submit passwords, payment information, financial information or other sensitive information through the contact form.

4. Contact Form and FormSubmit

ToolStrive uses FormSubmit to process and deliver messages submitted through the contact form.

When you submit the contact form, information entered into the form is transmitted to FormSubmit so that the message can be delivered to ToolStrive.

This may include your name, email address, selected message topic, message content and technical information associated with the submission.

FormSubmit operates as a third-party service and may process information according to its own privacy practices and terms.

If you prefer not to use the website contact form, you can contact us directly by email at contact@toolstrive.com .

5. Website Hosting and Cloudflare

ToolStrive uses Cloudflare services for website hosting, delivery, DNS, security and related infrastructure.

When you access ToolStrive, Cloudflare may process certain technical information necessary to provide, secure and operate those services.

Depending on the request and service involved, technical information may include information such as IP address, browser or device details, request information, timestamps and security or diagnostic information.

6. Email Routing

ToolStrive uses Cloudflare Email Routing for the contact@toolstrive.com email address.

Messages sent to that address may be processed by Cloudflare as part of the email forwarding process and then delivered to the destination mailbox used by ToolStrive.

The destination email provider may also process and store received messages according to its own policies.

7. Technical and Usage Information

When ToolStrive is accessed, certain technical information may be processed automatically by hosting, network, security or other infrastructure providers used to operate and protect the website.

Depending on the services involved, this may include:

• IP address.
• Browser and device information.
• Operating system information.
• Requested pages or resources.
• Date and time information.
• Referring information where available.
• Diagnostic, performance or security information.

8. Cookies and Similar Technologies

ToolStrive itself may use cookies or similar technologies where they are necessary for website functionality, security or services enabled on the website.

Third-party services may also use cookies or similar technologies according to their own practices.

ToolStrive currently uses Google Analytics 4 to understand website usage. Google Analytics may use cookies or similar technologies depending on browser, device, consent choices and applicable law. Where required, ToolStrive may provide consent or privacy controls for non-essential analytics or advertising technologies.

9. Google AdSense and Advertising

ToolStrive may use Google AdSense or other advertising services in the future to support the website.

If advertising services are enabled, advertising providers such as Google may use cookies, identifiers or similar technologies to serve, measure and improve advertising, subject to their policies and applicable privacy requirements.

This Privacy Policy and any required consent mechanisms will be reviewed when advertising services are enabled so that the disclosures reflect the services actually in use.

10. Google Analytics

ToolStrive uses Google Analytics 4 (GA4), a web analytics service provided by Google, to understand how visitors use the website and to help improve content, performance and usability.

Depending on the browser, device, consent choices and Google Analytics configuration, analytics data may include information such as pages viewed, interactions or events, approximate location derived from technical information, device and browser information, referral information and other usage data.

Google may process analytics information in accordance with its own privacy policies and terms. Analytics data is used for measurement and website improvement rather than for the browser-side content processing performed by ToolStrive utilities.

ToolStrive's current Google Analytics property is configured with a 14-month event-data retention setting. Google and other service providers may apply additional retention practices to information they process under their own policies.

11. Third-Party Services

ToolStrive relies on third-party providers for certain website functions. Current providers include services used for website infrastructure, email routing and contact-form delivery.

These third-party providers may process information according to their own privacy policies, terms and the services they provide.

Some ToolStrive tools may load a version-pinned open-source JavaScript library from jsDelivr. When that asset is requested, jsDelivr may receive ordinary technical request information such as an IP address, browser details and request metadata under its own policies. For the QR Code Generator, the content you enter is processed locally after the library loads and is not sent to jsDelivr by ToolStrive for QR generation.

ToolStrive may also contain links to independent third-party websites. Their privacy practices are controlled by those third parties.

12. Data Retention

Information processed only locally inside your browser by a ToolStrive utility is not intentionally retained by ToolStrive as part of that tool's browser-side operation.

Contact messages may remain in the email systems used by ToolStrive for as long as reasonably necessary to respond to the message, maintain relevant records, prevent abuse or meet applicable legal requirements.

Third-party providers may maintain information according to their own retention practices.

13. How We Use Contact Information

Information submitted when contacting ToolStrive may be used to:

• Respond to questions or requests.
• Review bug reports.
• Consider suggestions for new tools.
• Review feedback about ToolStrive.
• Address privacy or website-related inquiries.
• Protect the website and prevent abuse.

Contact information is not intended to be sold as part of ToolStrive's contact process.

14. Data Security

We take reasonable steps to operate ToolStrive and its contact methods securely. However, no website, email system, network or electronic storage method can guarantee absolute security.

Visitors should avoid submitting confidential or sensitive information that is not necessary for their request.

15. Children's Privacy

ToolStrive is a general-purpose utility website and is not designed specifically for children.

We do not intentionally design our browser-based tools to request personal information from children.

16. Your Privacy Choices

Depending on your location and applicable law, you may have certain rights or choices regarding personal information processed about you.

These may include rights relating to access, correction, deletion or certain processing activities where those rights apply.

You may contact ToolStrive regarding a privacy-related request using the contact information below.

Browser settings may also allow you to manage or delete cookies. Disabling certain browser features can affect website functionality.

17. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy when ToolStrive, its tools, third-party services, advertising practices or applicable requirements change.

When this Privacy Policy is updated, the "Last updated" date shown near the top of this page may also be revised.
