Privacy Policy

What this site does with your tool input

The tools on Those Boring Tools run entirely in your browser. Text, files, or values you enter into a tool (for example, the JSON formatter, hash generator, or CSV converter) are processed locally on your device using JavaScript and are never sent to, or stored on, our servers.

What we do collect

Like virtually all websites, our hosting provider automatically logs standard request data for every visit — IP address, browser/user-agent string, pages visited, and timestamps — for security and reliability purposes. We don't separately combine this with any personal profile.

Cookies and third-party services

This site may display advertising served by Google AdSense and/or use Google Analytics to understand aggregate traffic patterns. These services can set cookies or use similar technologies in your browser to serve relevant ads and measure ad performance. Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads based on your visits to this and other sites; you can opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings. For more detail on how Google handles data, see Google's Partner Sites policy.

If we add affiliate links to supporting articles or guides, following one may set a tracking cookie on the destination site so the referral can be attributed — this policy will be updated with specifics as those programs are added.

Children's privacy

This site is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

Your choices

Because tool input never leaves your browser, there's no account or stored personal data to request, export, or delete. For questions about advertising cookies, browser settings (private/incognito mode, cookie blocking, or extensions like uBlock Origin) give you direct control.

Changes to this policy

This policy may be updated as the site adds new features, analytics, or monetization. Material changes will update the "Last updated" date above.
