Why Your Privacy Matters to Us

Every feature of ToolDash is designed with your privacy in mind. Here's how we protect you.

Information We Don't Collect

Unlike many web services, ToolDash is designed to collect as little data as possible. Here's what we explicitly do NOT collect:

Input Data & Content

  • JSON, XML, HTML, CSS, or any formatted text
  • JWT tokens, API keys, or authentication data
  • Base64 encoded content or decoded results
  • Generated UUIDs, passwords, or hashes
  • Regular expressions or test strings
  • Any file contents you upload or process

Personal Information

  • Names, email addresses, or contact information
  • Account credentials (we don't require accounts)
  • Payment information (all tools are free)
  • Location data or IP addresses
  • Device identifiers or fingerprints
  • Browsing history or tool usage patterns

3. Minimal Anonymous Data Collection

To improve our service and ensure optimal performance, we collect minimal, anonymous data that cannot be used to identify individual users:

Anonymous Usage Analytics

We use Google Analytics to understand general usage patterns, including:

  • Page views and popular tools (to prioritize improvements)
  • General geographic regions (country-level only)
  • Browser types and screen resolutions (for compatibility)
  • Load times and performance metrics (for optimization)

Note: You can opt-out of analytics using browser settings or ad blockers.

Error Monitoring

Anonymous error logs help us identify and fix bugs quickly. These logs contain no personal data or input content — only technical information about JavaScript errors or performance issues.

4. How Our Privacy-First Tools Work

Every ToolDash utility is architected for maximum privacy and security:

Client-Side Processing

All computations happen locally in your browser using JavaScript. Whether you're formatting JSON, decoding JWT tokens, or generating UUIDs, the processing occurs entirely on your device.

Zero Server Communication

Your data is never transmitted to our servers for processing. The tools work completely offline once loaded, ensuring your sensitive information stays on your device.

Local Storage Only

Any temporary data (like theme preferences) is stored locally in your browser and automatically cleared when you close the tab or clear browser data.

Real-Time Results

Get instant results without any network requests. All processing happens in real-time as you type, with no delays or server round-trips.

5. Cookies and Local Storage

ToolDash uses minimal cookies and local storage for essential functionality only:

Essential Cookies

  • Theme Preferences: Dark/light mode setting stored locally
  • Language Settings: Interface language preference
  • Tool Settings: User preferences for specific tools (stored locally)

Analytics Cookies

  • Google Analytics: Anonymous usage tracking (can be disabled)
  • Performance Monitoring: Anonymous error and performance data

You can disable these cookies using browser settings or privacy extensions.

What We DON'T Use

  • Advertising Cookies: No ads, no tracking pixels
  • Social Media Cookies: No social media tracking
  • Cross-Site Tracking: No third-party tracking scripts
  • Persistent Identifiers: No device fingerprinting

6. Third-Party Services

ToolDash uses minimal third-party services, all chosen for their privacy compliance:

Google Analytics

Anonymous usage analytics to understand which tools are most popular and how to improve the platform. No personal data is shared with Google.

Cloudflare CDN

Content delivery network for fast loading times and DDoS protection. Cloudflare processes minimal technical data for security purposes.

Hosting Platform

Static hosting on Vercel/Netlify for reliable service delivery. No user data is processed by the hosting platform.

7. Data Security Measures

We implement comprehensive security measures to protect your privacy:

Technical Security

  • HTTPS encryption for all connections
  • Content Security Policy (CSP) headers
  • Regular security updates and patches
  • Secure coding practices and reviews

Privacy by Design

  • Client-side processing architecture
  • No data transmission to servers
  • Minimal data collection principles
  • Anonymous analytics implementation

8. Your Privacy Rights

✓

✓

Clear local storage and cookies anytime

✓

Use incognito/private browsing mode

✓
