1. Introduction

Tool Driver provides browser-based utilities, including calculators, converters and other practical online tools. This policy describes the information-handling practices that apply when you visit the website.

For this policy, “we”, “us” and “our” refer to the person or organisation responsible for operating Tool Driver. Before publishing this page, identify the actual website operator and add any required business or contact details.

This policy should be read alongside our Cookie Policy and Terms of Use.

2. Information We May Collect

The information collected depends on the website features and services that are actually enabled. It may include the following categories:

• Technical information: IP address, browser type, device information, operating system, approximate region and server logs, where processed by the hosting or security services.
• Usage information: pages visited, referral sources, interactions and general performance information, if analytics or similar measurement tools are enabled.
• Contact information: details such as your name, email address and message if you contact us or submit a form.
• Cookie and consent information: preferences or identifiers stored by the website and its enabled services.

Do not add claims about specific data collection methods unless they match the website’s actual configuration. Some information may be processed by hosting providers or embedded third-party services.

3. Information Entered into Online Tools

Some Tool Driver utilities process information entered into fields, such as numbers, dates, measurements, text or other calculation inputs.

Where a tool performs its calculation entirely in your browser, its input values may be processed locally without being sent to our server by the calculation code. This must be checked for each tool before claiming it as a site-wide privacy guarantee.

Other features, such as contact forms, external APIs, account features or server-side processing, may transmit information outside your browser. Their data handling should be explained where relevant.

4. Cookies and Similar Technologies

Cookies are small files that a website or third-party service can store on your device. Similar technologies may also be used for preferences, security, measurement and advertising.

Depending on the features enabled on Tool Driver, cookies or similar technologies may be used to:

• Support essential website functionality and security.
• Remember preferences or consent choices.
• Measure website usage and performance where analytics are enabled.
• Support advertising and advertising measurement where advertising services are enabled.

The actual cookies used by the site should be identified through a cookie audit. Where consent is legally required, non-essential cookies and similar technologies should not be activated before the required consent is obtained. Users should have a practical way to change or withdraw their preferences.

See our Cookie Policy for more information.

5. Analytics and Performance Measurement

If analytics services are enabled, they may process information about page visits, referral sources, device types, interactions and website performance. This information can help us understand which tools are useful and identify technical problems.

Before publication, list the analytics services actually used, explain the relevant data practices and link to their privacy information where appropriate. If no analytics service is installed, remove any wording that suggests analytics are active.

6. Advertising and Third-Party Advertising Services

Tool Driver may display advertising if an advertising service is enabled. Advertising providers may use cookies or similar technologies to deliver advertisements, limit repeated displays, measure performance or personalise advertising where permitted and configured.

If Google AdSense or another advertising provider is installed, identify the service and provide the disclosures, consent controls and policy links required for that implementation. Do not state that personalised advertising, non-personalised advertising or any particular cookie is in use until the configuration has been confirmed.

Third-party advertising is subject to the provider’s own policies and practices. We do not control every aspect of how an external provider processes information.

7. How Information May Be Used

Where applicable, information may be used to:

• Operate, maintain and secure the website.
• Respond to enquiries and tool requests.
• Diagnose errors and improve usability or performance.
• Understand website usage where measurement services are enabled.
• Manage consent choices and meet applicable legal obligations.
• Detect misuse, spam, fraudulent activity or security threats.

Information should only be processed for purposes supported by the site’s actual practices and an appropriate legal basis where required.

8. Third-Party Services and Sharing

Some information may be processed by service providers that help operate the website. Depending on the implementation, these may include hosting, security, email delivery, analytics, advertising, consent-management or form-processing providers.

List the providers that are actually used and explain their roles. Information may also be disclosed where required by law or where necessary to protect the website, its users or legal rights.

External websites linked from Tool Driver have their own privacy policies. Review those policies before submitting information to third-party services.

9. Data Retention and Security

Information should be retained only for as long as needed for the relevant purpose, subject to applicable legal requirements. Retention periods may vary for server logs, enquiries, consent records and other information.

Reasonable technical and organisational measures should be used to protect information. However, no website, transmission method or storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

Before publishing, establish actual retention practices and avoid promising a particular deletion period unless it is implemented.

10. Your Privacy Rights

Depending on your location and the laws that apply, you may have rights relating to access, correction, deletion, restriction, objection, data portability or withdrawal of consent.

To make a privacy request, contact us using the details below. We may need to verify your identity before responding. Some rights are subject to exceptions and limitations under applicable law.

If you are in the UK or another jurisdiction with specific privacy rights, the rights available to you depend on the relevant legal framework and the circumstances of the processing.

11. Children’s Privacy

Tool Driver is a general-purpose tools website and is not intended to knowingly collect personal information from children in breach of applicable law. If you believe a child has provided personal information inappropriately, contact us so the situation can be reviewed.

12. Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy when website features, service providers, legal requirements or data practices change. The revised version will be published on this page with an updated date.

Review this page periodically to understand the current policy.
