Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how RunWebTools("we", "us", "our") handles information when you visit our website, use our tools, or run our bookmarklets. By using the site, you agree to the practices described here.

The short version

• Our tools run in your browser; what you paste or type is not sent to us.
• We don't require accounts and we don't ask for personal information.
• Your preferences are saved locally in your browser, not on our servers.
• We show third-party ads (Google AdSense), which use cookies.

Tool data stays on your device

Our tools are designed to run client-side. The content you paste, type, or upload into a tool is processed locally on your device by your own browser and, for client-side tools, is not transmitted to or stored on our servers. We never see the text, code, or files you work with.

Bookmarklets

Some tools are offered as bookmarklets that open a small panel on whatever page you're viewing. These run entirely within your browser on that page; they do not send the page's contents, your selection, or your input to us or to any third party. Any preference a bookmarklet remembers (such as panel position) is stored in your browser's local storage for the site you ran it on.

Because a bookmarklet runs with the access of whatever page you open it on, you decide where to use it and do so at your own discretion. We recommend avoiding sensitive sites such as online banking, payment, or healthcare. See our Terms of Service for details.

Browser storage and preferences

To make the tools convenient, we use your browser's localStorage to remember small preferences — for example, a formatter's indentation and mode, or the order of options you've arranged. This information is stored only on your device, is not linked to your identity, and is not transmitted to us. You can clear it at any time through your browser's settings.

Cookies and advertising

We display ads served by third-party vendors, including Google, to keep the site free. Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this or other websites. Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visit to our site and/or other sites on the Internet.

You can opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings. For more options regarding third-party vendor cookies, visit aboutads.info. If you are in the European Economic Area, the UK, or another region that requires consent, ads may be personalized only where you have given consent, and you can change your choice at any time.

Analytics

We may use privacy-respecting analytics to understand aggregate, anonymized usage patterns — such as which tools are most popular and whether pages load quickly — so we can improve the site. This data is not used to identify you personally.

Information we do not collect

We do not ask you to create an account, and we do not intentionally collect names, addresses, or other personal details. If you email us through the Contact page, we will receive the message and email address you choose to send, and we use it only to respond to you.

Your choices and rights

Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, or delete personal data, or to object to certain processing (for example, under the GDPR or CCPA). Because we do not maintain accounts or personal profiles, most data stays on your own device under your control. For any request, contact us using the details below.

Data security

The site is served over HTTPS. While no method of transmission or storage is completely secure, keeping tool processing on your device means there is very little personal data for anyone to expose in the first place.

Children's privacy

Our site is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them. If you believe a child has provided us information, please contact us so we can remove it.

International users

RunWebTools is available worldwide. By using the site, you understand that any limited information involved (such as a message you email us) may be processed in countries other than your own.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. Material changes will be reflected by the "last updated" date above; significant changes may be highlighted on the site.
