How we handle your information

Information we collect

We collect only the data that helps us operate, secure, and improve Quick Tools. Depending on how you interact with the site, this may include:

• Usage information: pages visited, actions taken, referring URLs, and timestamps so we can understand feature performance.
• Device and browser data: anonymised details such as browser type, language, and operating system that help us optimise compatibility.
• Cookie data: preferences saved through our consent banner, and unique identifiers set by us or Google to deliver functionality, analytics, or ads.
• Voluntary contact details: information you provide if you reach out to us, for example via email or feedback forms.

How we use your information

We process the data described above to:

• Deliver core functionality and remember choices you make between visits.
• Monitor site reliability, detect abuse, and troubleshoot technical issues.
• Measure product usage so we can prioritise improvements.
• Serve and measure ads that keep Quick Tools available at no cost.
• Respond to inquiries and provide customer support.

Google Analytics

We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors engage with Quick Tools. Google Analytics relies on cookies and similar technologies to collect information such as page views, time on page, approximate location (based on IP address), and technical settings. The data is aggregated and pseudonymised before we see it. You can opt out by installing the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on or by adjusting your cookie preferences in our banner.

Google Ads (AdSense)

Quick Tools displays ads through Google AdSense. Google and its partners use cookies and device identifiers to deliver, personalise, and measure ads based on your visits to this and other sites. You can manage how Google uses your data for advertising by visiting the Google Ads Settings page and reviewing the resources at Google's Advertising Policies. If you opt out of marketing cookies in our consent banner, we will request that only non-personalised ads are shown.

Cookies and consent management

When you first visit Quick Tools, you can choose the cookie categories you want to allow. Necessary cookies keep the site running and cannot be disabled. Preferences, statistics, and marketing cookies are optional and will only load after you opt in. You can revisit your choices at any time by selecting "Cookie settings" in the footer of any page.

How we share information

We do not sell your personal information. We share data only with service providers that help us deliver Quick Tools, such as hosting, analytics, and advertising partners. These providers are bound by contracts that limit their use of your data to the services they supply.

Data retention

We keep usage and analytics data for as long as necessary to operate and improve Quick Tools, after which it is either deleted or aggregated. Email correspondence is retained only as long as needed to resolve your request or comply with legal obligations.

Your choices

• Update your cookie preferences at any time through our on-site consent banner.
• Use the Google Ads Settings page to control personalised advertising from Google.
• Install the Google Analytics opt-out add-on to prevent analytics tracking across websites.
• Set your browser to block or delete cookies, though essential features may stop working.

Children's privacy

Quick Tools is designed for users aged 16 and older. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal data, please contact us so we can remove it.

Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect new features, legal requirements, or best practices. When we make material changes, we will adjust the "Last updated" date and, where appropriate, provide additional notice.
