Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

Heretool ("we", "us", or "our") is committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring the security of your information. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you use our website (https://heretool.com) and our online tools (collectively, the "Services"). Our core principle is that the vast majority of our online tools operate directly within your local browser, and no data processed by these tools is uploaded to our servers. Additionally, our website does not feature an account system of any kind. By accessing or using our Services, you agree to the terms of this Privacy Policy.

2. Information We Collect

2.1 Personal Information

Since our website does not have an account system, we do not collect personal information such as contact details or account credentials from you. We do not request or store any personally identifiable information unless voluntarily provided in the context of contacting our support team, and such information is only used to respond to your specific inquiry.

2.2 Non-Personal Information

We may automatically collect non-personal, aggregated information about your use of our Services solely through Google Analytics and Google AdSense, in compliance with Google's official policies. This information includes:

• IP address and device information (e.g., browser type, operating system) – used in accordance with Google's data handling standards
• Usage data (e.g., pages visited, features used, time spent on our site) – for analytical purposes only to improve our Services
• Analytics data collected through cookies and similar technologies as part of Google Analytics/AdSense implementation

It is important to note that no data processed by our local browser-based tools is collected or transmitted to our servers or any third parties.

3. How We Use Your Information

We use the limited non-personal information collected through Google Analytics/AdSense for the following purposes, in full compliance with Google's policies:

• To provide, maintain, and improve our Services (by analyzing aggregated usage trends)
• To understand general user behavior and optimize the functionality of our website and tools
• To display ads through Google AdSense (in compliance with Google's advertising policies)
• To respond to any voluntary inquiries sent to our support team (using only the information you provide for that purpose)
• To comply with legal obligations and protect our rights

We do not use any information collected to identify individual users, as our tools operate locally and no personal data is processed or stored on our servers.

4. Data Sharing and Disclosure

We do not sell, trade, or rent any information (personal or non-personal) to third parties. The only sharing of non-personal data occurs with Google as part of the Google Analytics and Google AdSense services, strictly in accordance with Google's official policies. We may disclose information only in the following limited circumstances:

• With your explicit consent (if applicable)
• To comply with applicable laws, regulations, or legal processes
• To protect the rights, property, or safety of Heretool, our users, or others

Since no tool-related data is uploaded to our servers, we have no such data to share or disclose to any third party.

5. Data Security

Given that our tools operate locally in your browser and do not transmit data to our servers, the security of any data processed by our tools is entirely within your control. For the limited non-personal information collected through Google Analytics/AdSense, we rely on Google's industry-standard security measures to protect such data, in compliance with Google's data protection policies. While we take reasonable steps to ensure compliance with all applicable privacy standards, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security for data collected through third-party services like Google Analytics/AdSense.

6. Your Rights and Choices

Depending on your location, you may have the right to:

• Request information about the non-personal data collected through Google Analytics/AdSense (in compliance with Google's data access policies)
• Opt out of Google Analytics tracking through Google's official opt-out mechanisms
• Adjust your browser settings to refuse cookies (which may affect Google Analytics/AdSense functionality but not the core operation of our local tools)
• Request the deletion of any voluntarily provided support-related information

To exercise these rights, please contact us using the information provided below.

7. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

We use cookies and similar tracking technologies solely as part of the Google Analytics and Google AdSense implementations, in compliance with Google's policies. These cookies are used to collect non-personal, aggregated usage data only. You can adjust your browser settings to refuse cookies, which will not impact the functionality of our local browser-based tools but may affect the performance of Google Analytics/AdSense features on our website.

8. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page and updating the "Last Updated" date. Your continued use of our Services after any changes constitutes your acceptance of the revised policy.
