Privacy Policy
Last updated: August 22, 2026
Free Online Tools ("we", "our", "the site") provides free browser-based utilities including a word counter, case converter, JSON formatter, password generator, and QR code generator. This Privacy Policy explains what data is and isn't collected when you use the site.
1. Data You Enter Into the Tools
Every tool on this site — the word counter, case converter, JSON formatter, password generator, and QR code generator — runs entirely in your web browser using client-side JavaScript. Text, JSON, or any other content you type or paste into a tool is processed locally on your device and is never transmitted to, or stored on, our servers. Closing or refreshing the page clears it completely.
2. Information We May Collect Automatically
Like most websites, our hosting provider and analytics/advertising partners may automatically log standard technical information when you visit, such as your approximate location (derived from IP address), browser type, device type, pages viewed, and referring URL. This information is used only in aggregate to understand traffic and improve the site — it is not used to personally identify you.
3. Cookies and Similar Technologies
This site may use cookies and similar tracking technologies (such as local storage) set by us or by third-party services described below, for purposes such as remembering preferences, measuring site performance, and serving relevant advertising. You can disable cookies through your browser settings, though some site features may not function as intended if you do so.
4. Google AdSense & Advertising
We use Google AdSense to display advertisements on this site. Google and its partners may use cookies and similar technologies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this and other websites. You can learn more about how Google uses data and manage your ad personalization settings at Google's Advertising Policies page and opt out of personalized advertising via Google Ads Settings.
Third-party vendors, including Google, may use cookies to serve ads based on someone's prior visits to this website or other websites. Users may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting the About Ads settings page.
5. Third-Party Services
This site loads a small number of third-party resources to function, including:
- Google Fonts — for the site's typography (Space Grotesk, Inter, JetBrains Mono).
- Google AdSense — to display advertising, as described above.
- QR code library (cdnjs) — a client-side script used to render QR codes locally in your browser; it does not transmit your QR input anywhere.
Each of these third parties may set their own cookies or process limited technical data (such as IP address) in accordance with their own privacy policies.
6. Children's Privacy
Free Online Tools is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us so we can address it.
7. Data Security
Because tool inputs are processed entirely in your browser and never sent to our servers, there is no server-side database of your text, passwords, or JSON data for us to secure or that could be breached. Standard technical logs (see Section 2) are handled through our hosting and analytics providers' own security practices.
8. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or for legal reasons. The "Last updated" date at the top of this page indicates when it was last revised. Continued use of the site after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
