03 · Information we collect
Information we collect
We try to collect as little information as possible. The data we may collect falls into the following categories:
- Tool input. When you paste text or values into one of the tools, that input is processed in your browser. We do not transmit it to our servers for the core interaction unless the specific tool description states otherwise.
- Server logs. Like most websites, our hosting provider may automatically log basic technical information (IP address, user-agent, requested URL, timestamp, referrer) for security and abuse prevention. These logs are retained for a limited period.
- Analytics. We may use privacy-respecting analytics to understand which pages are useful and how the Site performs. Analytics is aggregated and never used to identify individual visitors.
- Cookies and local storage. Some features use cookies or local storage to remember your preferences (for example, the autonomy mode of a tool, or to dismiss a notice). You can clear these at any time from your browser settings.
- Advertising data. Third-party advertising partners listed below may collect or receive information through the Site to serve and measure ads.
