At ToolboxShelf, we respect your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains what information may be collected when you use our website and how that information is handled.
ToolboxShelf provides online calculators, converters, text utilities, developer tools, SEO tools, color tools, and other digital utilities.
1. Information You Provide
Most ToolboxShelf tools can be used without creating an account or providing personal information.
If you contact us, for example by email, we may receive the information you choose to provide, such as your name, email address, and the contents of your message.
We use this information only for purposes such as responding to your request, communicating with you, and handling support or feedback.
2. Information Processed by Our Tools
Many ToolboxShelf tools are designed to process your input directly in your browser.
For these tools, the information you enter is generally processed on your device rather than being sent to our servers.
However, this may vary between tools. If a particular tool requires information to be sent to a server or uses a third-party service, the relevant behavior should be explained on that tool's page where appropriate.
You should avoid entering sensitive or confidential information into any online tool unless you are comfortable with how that tool processes the information.
3. Cookies and Local Storage
ToolboxShelf may use cookies or browser storage for basic website functions, such as remembering language preferences, privacy choices, or other necessary settings.
Optional cookies, including those used for analytics or advertising, are only used when the relevant services are enabled and your selected privacy preferences allow them.
You can manage available cookie preferences through the cookie settings provided on the website.
4. Analytics
If analytics services are enabled on ToolboxShelf, they may collect information about how visitors use the website.
This may include information such as pages visited, approximate usage patterns, browser or device information, and other technical data provided by the analytics service.
Analytics are used to understand how the website is being used and to identify areas that may need improvement.
If analytics are not enabled, ToolboxShelf does not collect analytics information through those services.
5. Advertising (Google AdSense)
ToolboxShelf intends to use Google AdSense to display advertisements and help support the availability of its free online tools.
When Google AdSense is enabled and advertising code is integrated into our website, Google and its partners, as well as other third-party advertising providers, may use cookies, web beacons, IP addresses, device identifiers, and similar technologies to store and access information on your browser or device and process information related to your visits and advertising interactions.
5.1 Google Advertising Cookies
Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve advertisements based on a user's previous visits to ToolboxShelf or other websites.
Google's use of advertising cookies enables Google and its partners to serve advertisements to users based on their visits to ToolboxShelf and/or other websites on the Internet.
These technologies may be used for:
-
Displaying advertisements.
-
Limiting the number of times an advertisement is shown.
-
Measuring advertising performance and engagement.
-
Preventing fraudulent or invalid advertising activity.
-
Delivering personalized or contextual advertisements, depending on user preferences, consent, and applicable settings.

-
Cookie identifiers and similar technologies.
-
IP addresses and approximate location derived from IP addresses.

Browser type, device information, and operating system.
-
Pages visited and interactions with advertisements.

Advertising performance and measurement information.
Google processes this information under its own privacy policies and applicable advertising settings.

5.4 Other Advertising Providers
If ToolboxShelf uses advertising providers or advertising networks in addition to Google, those providers may also use cookies or similar technologies to display, personalize, and measure advertisements.
We will identify applicable advertising providers and provide links to their privacy policies and available advertising opt-out options where applicable.
5.5 European Privacy and Consent
For visitors in the European Economic Area (EEA), the United Kingdom, and Switzerland, ToolboxShelf will provide the applicable advertising and privacy disclosures and obtain consent for cookies or similar technologies where required by law.
Where required by Google's policies for personalized advertising in these regions, ToolboxShelf will use a Google-certified Consent Management Platform (CMP) integrated with the IAB Transparency and Consent Framework (TCF).
Visitors will be able to review and manage their applicable privacy and advertising consent choices through the consent-management and cookie-preference controls provided on ToolboxShelf.
6. Third-Party Services
Some parts of ToolboxShelf may use third-party services to provide specific functionality.
These services may process information according to their own privacy policies. When third-party services are used, we aim to use only services that are necessary for the relevant functionality.
This Privacy Policy does not cover the privacy practices of third-party websites or services that ToolboxShelf does not control.
7. Data Security
We take reasonable measures to protect information handled through ToolboxShelf.
However, no website or online service can guarantee complete security. You should avoid submitting passwords, financial information, or other highly sensitive information to tools unless the tool specifically requires it and clearly explains how that information is handled.
8. Children's Privacy
ToolboxShelf is a general-purpose website and is not specifically directed at children.
We do not knowingly request personal information from children for the purpose of creating accounts or providing personalized services.
9. Your Privacy Choices
Depending on your location and applicable privacy laws, you may have certain rights regarding your personal information.
These may include the right to request access to, correction of, or deletion of personal information that we hold about you.
You can also manage available cookie and privacy preferences through the controls provided on ToolboxShelf.
