Privacy Policy

1. Our Privacy-First Commitment

At ToolQix (accessible via ToolQix.store), your privacy is our primary priority. We believe online utilities should respect user confidentiality. This Privacy Policy details the types of information we do and do not collect.

2. Local Browser-Side Processing

Unlike many traditional online web applications, the majority of ToolQix tools (including our Word Counter, Character Counter, Case Converter, JSON Formatter, Calculators, Converters, and Password Generator) execute entirely inside your web browser using client-side JavaScript.

This means:

• Your input text, codes, and documents are not transmitted to our servers.
• We do not log, read, inspect, or store your text data.
• When you close or refresh your browser tab, your data is cleared from device memory.

3. Local Storage Usage

We use your browser’s standard localStorage purely to store client-side user preferences, including:

• Your chosen color theme (light, dark, or system preference).
• Your list of favorited or bookmarked tools.
• Your recently accessed tool shortcuts.

This information never leaves your browser and is never synchronized to an external server.

4. Analytics, Telemetry & Log Files

Like most modern websites, ToolQix uses Google Analytics 4 (gtag.js) to understand anonymous aggregate visitor traffic, popular tool usage, and overall platform performance. Google Analytics uses first-party cookies to track interaction metrics without collecting or storing personally identifiable information (PII).

Standard non-identifying server logs (such as browser user-agent, referring pages, date/time stamps, and approximate geographic region) may also be logged by our content delivery network (Cloudflare) to defend against DDoS attacks and optimize global edge caching.

5. Third-Party Advertising & Google AdSense

We may partner with third-party advertising networks, including Google AdSense, to serve advertisements when you visit ToolQix. These companies may use cookies, web beacons, and related tracking technologies to measure advertising effectiveness and serve ads tailored to your interests based on your visits to this and other websites across the internet.

• Google DART Cookie: Google, as a third-party vendor, uses cookies to serve ads on ToolQix. Google’s use of the DART cookie enables it to serve ads to our users based upon their visit to our site and other sites on the Internet.
• Opt-Out Options: Users may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting the Google Ads Settings. Alternatively, you can opt out of third-party vendors’ use of cookies for personalized advertising by visiting www.aboutads.info.

6. GDPR, CCPA & Privacy Rights

Under the European General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA/CPRA), users possess rights to data access, rectification, portability, and deletion. Because our computational utilities run client-side in your device’s browser, ToolQix does not collect, sell, or retain personal information.
