What you enter into the tools
Most ToolYard tools run in your browser. The numbers, dates, text, and files you enter are processed on your device. ToolYard does not upload, store, or receive them.
Tools that use outside services
- What Is My IP sends a request from your browser to ipify.org and ipapi.co. Those services receive your IP address and return its details. ToolYard does not store the result.
- YouTube Thumbnail Downloader loads thumbnail images from YouTube's servers, so YouTube receives a normal image request from your browser.
- PDF Compress loads the pdf.js library from cdnjs.cloudflare.com. Your PDF stays in your browser.
Google Analytics
We use Google Analytics 4 to understand how people use the site, such as which pages are visited, how visitors arrive, and roughly where they are. Google Analytics sets cookies and collects data such as your browser, device, approximate location, and the pages you view. It does not receive the values you type into the tools.
Analytics is on by default. You can block it by declining or deleting cookies in your browser, using a content blocker, or installing Google's Analytics opt-out browser add-on. Google's use of this data is described in its privacy policy.
Advertising
ToolYard shows ads through Google AdSense to keep the tools free. Google and its partners use cookies to serve ads based on your visits to this and other websites, and to measure how ads perform. Ads never receive the values you type into the tools.
You can turn off personalized ads in Google's Ads Settings, or opt out of some third-party vendors at aboutads.info. Google explains how it uses data from sites that show its ads in How Google uses information from sites or apps that use our services.
Visitors in the European Economic Area, the UK and Switzerland see Google's consent message and can choose whether their data is used for ads before personalized ads are shown.

When this policy changes, we will update it here and change the date at the top.
