Your Privacy Matters

1. Tools That Run in Your Browser

Most Smart Toolverse tools (calculators, converters, formatters, minifiers and text counters) run entirely in your browser with JavaScript. The numbers, text or files you enter are processed on your device and are not uploaded to our servers. Tool pages that work this way are marked “100% Client-Side Privacy”.

2. AI Features and Server-Based Tools

Some tools need a server to work: AI features (for example AI advice, the content humanizer, the AI content detector, code conversion and prompt generation) and tools that look up a website or network address. When you use one of these, the input it needs is sent to our server and, for AI features, to our AI providers (Google's Gemini API and Groq) to generate the result. Each tool page says what is sent. We don't store these inputs or the results.

To prevent abuse, we keep a record of your IP address for each AI request so we can limit how many requests can be made per minute and per day. These records are deleted within about a day.

3. Analytics and Cookies

We use these services, loaded through Google Tag Manager or directly, to understand how the site is used and to improve it:

• Google Analytics: which pages are visited, approximate location (from your IP address), device and browser type, and which tools are used. It sets first-party cookies (names starting with _ga).
• Microsoft Clarity: how pages are used, through clicks, scrolling and mouse movement, shown to us as heatmaps and session recordings. It sets cookies (such as _clck and _clsk) and is designed to mask text you type into fields.
• Vercel Analytics and Speed Insights: page views and loading performance, without cookies.

You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings, or install the Google Analytics opt-out add-on. The tools keep working without cookies. Google and Microsoft describe their own use of this data in their privacy policies (Google, Microsoft).

4. Advertising

Smart Toolverse does not show ads at the moment, and we don't sell your data or use it to build advertising profiles. If we start showing ads, we will update this policy first to say which ad partners we use, what cookies they set and how to opt out.

5. Contact Form

If you send us a message through the contact page, we receive your name, email address and message by email so we can reply. We use them only to answer you.

6. Service Providers

We use these companies to run the site. Each receives only what it needs for its part:

• Vercel: hosting; it processes every request, including your IP address.
• Supabase: our database (site content and the short-lived AI request records described above).
• Google (Gemini API) and Groq: the text sent by AI features.
• Google PageSpeed Insights: the URL you enter in the SEO and page speed tools.
• Microlink, WordPress.com mShots and thum.io: the URL you enter in the screenshot and mobile preview tools.
• ipapi and ipinfo: the IP address looked up in the IP finder.
• Google Analytics, Microsoft Clarity and Vercel Analytics: usage data, as described in section 3.

7. How Long We Keep Data

Tool inputs and AI results: not stored. AI request records: deleted within about a day. Contact messages: kept in our email for as long as needed to answer you and follow up. Analytics data: kept by Google Analytics and Microsoft Clarity under their retention settings (Google Analytics keeps user-level data for at most 14 months).

8. Your Rights

Depending on where you live (for example under the GDPR in the EU and UK, or California law), you can ask to see, correct or delete the personal data we hold about you, or object to how we use it. In practice, the only personal data we hold directly is what you send through the contact form. Contact us through the contact page and we will reply within 30 days. You also have the right to complain to your local data protection authority.

9. Children

Smart Toolverse is not directed at children under 13, and we don't knowingly collect personal data from them. Some tools, like the BMI calculator's children's mode, are meant for parents; what you enter there is calculated in your browser and not sent to us. If you believe a child has sent us personal data, contact us and we will delete it.

10. Third-Party Links

Our website may link to third-party tools or resources. We have no control over the privacy practices of external sites and encourage you to review their respective policies when navigating away from Smart Toolverse.
