Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy explains what information ToolPlay Hub ("we", "us", "the site") collects when you visit, how it is used, and the choices you have. We have written it in plain language and we keep data collection to the minimum a free, advertising-supported website needs.
1. Information You Enter Into Our Tools
Our calculators, converters, and games run entirely in your web browser. The text, numbers, and dates you enter are processed on your own device and are not transmitted to, or stored on, our servers. When you close the tab, that input is gone. We cannot see it, and we do not want to.
2. Information Collected Automatically
Like almost every website, our hosting and analytics systems automatically record limited technical information when pages are loaded, such as your IP address, browser type and version, device type, the pages you visited, and the time of your visit. This information is used in aggregate to understand which tools are popular, to keep the site secure, and to fix errors. It is not used to identify you personally.
3. Cookies and Similar Technologies
Cookies are small text files stored by your browser. This site and its partners use the following types:
- Essential cookies — required for the site to function, for example remembering a game score during your visit. These do not track you across other websites.
- Analytics cookies — help us count visits and understand which pages are useful, so we can improve the site. The data is aggregated and anonymous in the reports we see.
- Advertising cookies — set by our advertising partner, Google, and its certified partners. These include the DoubleClick cookie, which Google uses to serve ads based on your prior visits to this and other websites, and to measure ad performance and prevent the same ad being shown endlessly.
4. Google AdSense and Advertising
ToolPlay Hub displays advertising served by Google AdSense. Google and its partners use cookies to serve ads based on a user's prior visits to this website and/or other sites on the Internet. You may opt out of personalised advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings. You can also opt out of many third-party vendors' use of cookies for personalised advertising at aboutads.info/choices (or youronlinechoices.eu in Europe). Google's own explanation of how it uses data from sites that use its services is at policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites.
5. Consent for Visitors in the EEA, UK, and Switzerland
If you are located in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, or Switzerland, advertising on this site is served in line with Google's EU user consent requirements. Where consent is required for personalised advertising, you will be shown a consent message and personalised ads will only be served in accordance with the choices you make there. You can change your consent choices at any time through the privacy controls linked in that message, or by clearing cookies in your browser and revisiting the site. Non-personalised ads may still be shown, as they do not rely on advertising cookies for targeting.
6. How We Use Information
We use the limited information described above to: operate and secure the website; understand which tools and articles are helpful; measure and improve performance; display advertising that funds the site; and respond to messages you send us. We do not sell personal information, and we do not build profiles of individual visitors.
7. Information You Send Us Directly
If you contact us by email or through the contact form, we receive your name, email address, and the contents of your message. We use this only to respond to you and to keep a record of the correspondence. We do not add you to marketing lists.
8. Children's Privacy
ToolPlay Hub is a general-audience website and is not directed at children under 13 (or the equivalent minimum age in your country). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. Our games are simple classics suitable for all ages, but they do not request names, accounts, or any personal details. If you believe a child has provided us personal information, contact us and we will delete it.
9. Your Rights
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct, delete, or restrict the use of your personal information, and to object to certain processing. Because we hold so little personal data — essentially only messages you have sent us — most requests can be completed quickly. To exercise any right, contact us using the details below. You also have the right to complain to your local data protection authority.
10. Third-Party Links
Our articles sometimes link to external websites for reference. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those sites, and we encourage you to read their policies.
11. Changes to This Policy
We may update this policy when our services or the law changes. The "last updated" date at the top of this page will change, and significant changes will be noted on this page.
12. Contact
