Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains what ToolsPivot is, how our tools work, and exactly what information we do and do not collect when you use toolspivot.com. We have written it in plain English so you can actually understand it.

Last updated: July 17, 2026

The short version

ToolsPivot is a free collection of online tools for SEO, web, content, images, conversions, and everyday utilities. Two things matter most for your privacy:

• Many of our tools run entirely in your browser. Things like the Color Picker, image tools, text and code tools, converters, and the metadata viewer do their work on your own device. The files and text you use with them are never uploaded to us.
• Some tools have to run on our server. Tools that check a website, domain, IP, or that use AI cannot work inside your browser alone, so when you use one, the address or text you enter is sent to our server and, in many cases, on to a third-party service to get you the result.

We tell you which is which throughout this policy. We do not sell your personal information.

Information you give us

What you type into a tool

When you use a server-side tool (for example a website safety checker, "is it down" checker, WHOIS or DNS lookup, blacklist lookup, an AI writing or detection tool, and similar), the URL, domain, IP, or text you enter is sent to our server so the tool can run. To produce a result, we may pass that input to the third-party service that powers the check (see Third-party services). We may also keep a limited record of tool usage, which can include the input you submitted, the tool used, your IP address, and the date, for abuse prevention, rate limiting, debugging, and improving our tools. Please do not enter passwords, financial account numbers, or other sensitive personal data into any tool.

When you use a client-side tool, what you type or the file you open stays on your device and is not sent to us at all.

Files you upload

Most of our image and file tools process your file inside your browser, so it never leaves your device. A few tools (for example removing metadata from a video or PDF, or reverse image search) do need to upload the file to our server to process it. In those cases the file is processed and then deleted automatically a short time later. We do not keep your uploaded files.

Account information

You can use almost all of ToolsPivot without an account. If you do create one, or sign in with Google, Facebook, or Twitter/X, we store the information needed to run that account, which may include your name, email address, a profile picture, your sign-in provider ID, and any profile details you add such as company, phone number, and address. If you register directly, your password is stored in a secured (hashed) form and we cannot read it.

Newsletter and contact form

If you subscribe to our newsletter, we store your email address so we can send it. If you use the contact form, we store your name, email, message, and basic request details (including your IP address, browser user-agent, and the page you came from) so we can reply and prevent spam. If you leave a review, we store the review content and rating you submit.

Information we collect automatically

• Usage and device data. Like most websites, our servers and analytics tools record standard information such as your IP address, browser type and version, device and operating system, referring page, the pages and tools you use, and the date and time.
• Cookies and similar technologies. See the Cookies section below.
• Analytics. We use Google Analytics and Microsoft Clarity to understand how people use the site (which tools are popular, where visitors have trouble) so we can improve it. Clarity may record anonymized interaction data such as clicks and scrolling. These providers set their own cookies.

What we do NOT collect

• We do not receive anything you do in a fully client-side tool. Colors you pick, images you compress or view metadata for, text you format, and files you convert on those tools never reach us.
• We do not keep uploaded files after a server-side file tool has finished with them.
• We do not ask for and do not want your passwords, card numbers, or other secrets inside our tools.
• We do not sell your personal information to anyone.

How we use your information

• To run the tool you asked for and return a result.
• To operate, maintain, secure, and improve the site and our tools.
• To prevent abuse, spam, and automated misuse, including rate limiting and bot protection (see Cloudflare Turnstile below).
• To respond to your messages and, if you subscribed, send our newsletter.
• To show advertising that keeps the site free (see Advertising).
• To comply with the law and enforce our Terms of Service.

Third-party services

To keep the tools free and working, ToolsPivot relies on third-party services. Depending on which tool you use, some of your information (such as the domain or URL you enter, or your IP address) may be sent to these providers. Each has its own privacy policy.

• Advertising: Google AdSense.
• Analytics: Google Analytics, Microsoft Clarity.
• Bot protection: Cloudflare Turnstile (used on some tools to confirm you are human).
• Tool data providers that receive the address or text you enter, only when you use the relevant tool: Google Safe Browsing and Google Web Risk (website safety), Google Autocomplete (keyword tools), public RDAP and WHOIS services and IANA (domain and IP lookups), Cloudflare and Google DNS-over-HTTPS resolvers (DNS tools), public blocklists such as Spamhaus, SpamCop, UCEPROTECT, SURBL and similar (blacklist lookups), ip-api and comparable IP-geolocation services (IP and hosting tools), the Internet Archive Wayback Machine (domain age), and an AI language-model provider (our AI writing, humanizing, and detection tools). This list can change as tools are added or updated.

We only send your input to the provider needed to run the specific tool you chose.

Cookies

Cookies are small files stored by your browser. We use them for the following purposes:

When you first visit, a banner lets you accept or decline non-essential (analytics and advertising) cookies. You can also control cookies in your browser settings. Blocking essential cookies may break parts of the site.

Advertising and your choices

ToolsPivot is free because it shows ads through Google AdSense. Google and its partners may use cookies to show ads based on your visits to this and other sites. You can manage personalized advertising in your Google Ad Settings and learn more through Google's advertising and privacy resources. If you decline advertising cookies in our consent banner, ads may still appear but should be non-personalized.

How long we keep information

• Uploaded files: deleted automatically shortly after processing.
• Tool result caches: stored only briefly to speed up repeat checks, then cleared.
• Tool usage logs: kept only as long as useful for security, abuse prevention, and improving the tools.
• Account, newsletter, contact, and review data: kept until you ask us to delete it or you unsubscribe, and as required by law.

Your rights

Depending on where you live (for example under the GDPR in Europe or the CCPA in California), you may have the right to access, correct, delete, or export your personal information, to object to or restrict certain processing, and to opt out of the "sale" or "sharing" of personal information. We do not sell personal information. To exercise any right, email us at marketing@toolspivot.com and we will respond as required by law. You can unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time using the link in the email.

Security

We take reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect information, including deleting uploaded files after processing, keeping API keys and secrets on the server only, hashing account passwords, and using bot protection. No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Children

ToolsPivot is not directed to children under 13 (or the minimum age in your country), and we do not knowingly collect their personal information. If you believe a child has provided us information, contact us and we will delete it.

International users

ToolsPivot is operated from India and used worldwide. If you use the site, your information may be processed in India and in the countries where our third-party providers operate.

Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy as our tools change. When we do, we will update the date at the top. Continued use of the site after a change means you accept the updated policy.
