Privacy Policy

Free Tools Galaxy ("we", "us", "our") operates the website freetoolsgalaxy.com (the "Site"). This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, the cookies and third‑party advertising services we rely on, and the rights you have over your data. By using the Site you agree to the practices described here.

1. Information we collect

Tool input data: Our tools run entirely in your browser. The text, numbers, images and files you enter into a tool are processed locally on your device and are never uploaded to or stored on our servers.

Automatically collected data: Like most websites, we and our service providers may automatically receive standard log information such as your IP address, browser type, device type, referring pages, and the pages you visit. This is used for security, analytics and to display ads.

Local storage: We store small preferences (such as your theme, recently used tools and cookie‑consent choice) in your browser's local storage. These never leave your device.

2. How we use information

We use the information we collect to operate and improve the Site, understand which tools are popular, maintain security, comply with legal obligations, and display advertising that helps keep the Site free.

3. Cookies and similar technologies

A cookie is a small file stored on your device. We use both first‑party cookies/local storage (for essential functionality and preferences) and third‑party cookies (for advertising and analytics). For a full breakdown of the cookies we use and how to control them, see our Cookie Policy.

4. Advertising & Google AdSense

We use Google AdSense, a third‑party advertising service provided by Google LLC, to display ads on the Site. The following disclosures are required by Google and apply to advertising on this Site:

• Third‑party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this Site and other websites.
• Google's use of advertising cookies (including the DoubleClick cookie) enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visit to this and/or other sites on the Internet.
• You may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings.
• You can opt out of a third‑party vendor's use of cookies for personalized advertising at aboutads.info/choices and youronlinechoices.eu.
• For more information about how Google uses data when you use our partners' sites or apps, see Google's Privacy & Terms.

In the European Economic Area (EEA), the United Kingdom and Switzerland, personalized advertising cookies are only set after you give consent through our cookie banner. We use Google Consent Mode to honor your choice. You can change your consent at any time using the "Cookie settings" link in the footer.

5. Analytics

We use privacy‑respecting analytics to understand aggregate, anonymous usage of the Site (for example, which tools are most used). Where analytics cookies are used, they are also gated behind your consent in regions that require it.

6. Your rights

EEA/UK (GDPR): You have the right to access, correct, delete, restrict or object to the processing of your personal data, and the right to data portability and to withdraw consent at any time. Our legal bases for processing are your consent (for advertising/analytics cookies) and our legitimate interests (for security and basic operation).

California (CCPA/CPRA): California residents have the right to know what personal information is collected, to request deletion, to opt out of the "sale" or "sharing" of personal information, and not to be discriminated against for exercising these rights. We do not sell your personal information for money; to opt out of interest‑based advertising, use the cookie banner or the opt‑out links in Section 4.

To exercise any right, email us at the address below.

7. Children's privacy

The Site is not directed to children under 13 (or the minimum age in your jurisdiction), and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children. Advertising on the Site is configured as non‑personalized where required for child‑directed treatment.

8. Data retention & security

Because tool input never reaches our servers, there is nothing for us to retain about your tool usage. Aggregate analytics and log data are retained only as long as necessary for the purposes described. We use reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect data, but no method of transmission over the Internet is 100% secure.

9. International transfers

Our service providers (such as Google) may process data in countries outside your own. Where required, such transfers are covered by appropriate safeguards such as Standard Contractual Clauses.

10. Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Material changes will be reflected by the "Last updated" date above. Continued use of the Site after changes constitutes acceptance.
