Privacy Policy

Last updated: October 11, 2026

This policy explains how HandyTools may handle information when you visit the website. Review and update this policy to match the services actually enabled on your production site.

Tool inputs and files

Many tools are designed to process text, calculations, or images in your browser. Where processing is local, the inputs are not sent to HandyTools by that tool. Some features or third-party integrations may behave differently; tool pages should clearly explain any data transmission before it occurs. Avoid uploading confidential or sensitive files to any online service unless you understand how it works.

Information you submit

If you use the contact form, the information you submit, such as your email address and message, is processed by the website hosting or form provider so we can respond. Do not include passwords, payment details, or other sensitive information in messages.

Cookies, advertising and third parties

If Google AdSense or another advertising provider is enabled, that provider and its partners may use cookies, device identifiers, IP addresses, or similar technologies to serve, measure, and personalize ads as permitted by law and your choices. Third-party providers process information under their own policies. Google explains its data practices at How Google uses information from sites or apps that use its services.

Do not add advertising code until the relevant account is approved and any required consent-management setup is in place. Visitors in certain regions may need a consent choice before personalized advertising or non-essential cookies are used.

Analytics and logs

The hosting provider may process technical logs such as IP address, browser information, request time, and requested pages for security, delivery, and troubleshooting. If analytics are added, describe the actual provider, information collected, purpose, and opt-out choices here.

Data retention and security

Contact submissions and technical logs may be retained for as long as needed to respond, maintain security, meet legal obligations, and resolve disputes. No internet service can guarantee absolute security, but reasonable measures should be used to protect stored information.

Your choices and rights

Depending on your location, you may have rights to request access, correction, deletion, or restriction of personal information. You can control cookies through your browser and use any consent tools displayed on the site. Contact us through the Contact page to make a privacy request.

Children

HandyTools is a general-purpose utility website and is not intended to knowingly collect personal information from children in violation of applicable law.

Policy changes

This policy may be updated as the website changes. Publish the effective date above and ensure this document accurately reflects the live site, hosting, forms, analytics, and advertising integrations.
