Privacy Policy

Your privacy matters. Here is exactly how ToolBox handles your data.

Overview

ToolBox is committed to protecting your privacy. This policy explains what data we collect, how we use it, and what rights you have. The short version: we collect as little data as technically possible, we do not track you, and we do not sell or share any information with third parties.

This privacy policy applies to all tools and pages on the ToolBox website. It was last updated on April 6, 2026.

Information We Do Not Collect

  • No Personal Information -- We do not require registration, email addresses, or any personal details to use our tools
  • No Tracking Cookies -- We do not use advertising cookies, analytics cookies, or any third-party tracking scripts
  • No Analytics -- We do not use Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, or any similar tracking services
  • No IP Logging -- We do not store or log your IP address beyond what is necessary for a single request-response cycle
  • No User Profiles -- We do not build behavioral profiles, browsing histories, or interest categories about our visitors
  • No Data Sales -- We never sell, trade, or rent any user information to third parties under any circumstances

How Our Tools Process Data

ToolBox tools fall into two categories based on how they handle your data:

Client-Side Tools

These tools run entirely in your web browser. Your data never leaves your device and is never transmitted to our servers.

Includes: JSON Formatter, Base64 Encoder/Decoder, MD5 Generator, QR Code Generator, Text to Speech, Image to Text (OCR), Zip/Unzip Tool, Hashtag Generator

Server-Side Tools

These tools require our server to make external network requests on your behalf. Your input is processed ephemerally and discarded immediately after the response is sent.

Includes: Ping Tool, DNS Checker, WHOIS Checker, Open Port Checker, Hosting Checker, Reverse IP Checker, Email Health Checker, IP Lookup, Internet Connection Test

Local Storage

ToolBox uses your browser's local storage exclusively for storing your theme preference (light or dark mode). This data is stored locally on your device and is never transmitted to our servers. You can clear this data at any time through your browser settings. No other information is stored in local storage, session storage, or cookies.

Third-Party Services

Some of our tools load external resources to provide functionality:

Service Purpose Tools Using It
YouTube Image CDN Loading video thumbnail images YouTube Thumbnail Downloader
ipify API Detecting your public IP address What Is My IP
ipapi.co IP geolocation data IP Lookup
cdnjs (Cloudflare) Loading JavaScript libraries (JSZip, FileSaver.js, Tesseract.js) Zip/Unzip, Image to Text

These third-party services have their own privacy policies. We recommend reviewing their policies if you have concerns about how they handle data. We have selected services that are widely trusted and do not engage in user tracking.

Data Security

We implement reasonable technical measures to protect any data that passes through our servers during tool operation. All server-side tool requests are processed in memory and are not written to disk, databases, or log files. Network connections to our website are served over HTTPS to encrypt data in transit between your browser and our server.

Children's Privacy

ToolBox does not knowingly collect any personal information from children under the age of 13. Since we do not collect personal information from any users, this concern is inherently addressed by our privacy-first design.

Your Rights

Since we do not collect or store personal data, there is no personal information for us to provide, modify, or delete upon request. If you have used our contact form and wish to have your message deleted, please reach out to us through the Contact page and we will accommodate your request.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this privacy policy from time to time to reflect changes in our tools or practices. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated revision date. We encourage you to review this policy periodically to stay informed about how we protect your privacy.

Do you use cookies?

No. ToolBox does not use any cookies whatsoever. We use browser local storage only to remember your theme preference (light or dark mode).

Is my data shared with anyone?

No. We do not share, sell, or rent any user data to third parties. Server-side tools process your input in memory and discard it immediately after responding.

Can I use ToolBox without JavaScript?

Client-side tools require JavaScript to function. Server-side tools also use JavaScript for the user interface but process data on our PHP backend.

How can I contact you about privacy concerns?
