|

description: "This Privacy Policy explains what information privacytoolsIO and its related entities collect about its users, what we do with that information, and how we handle the content you place in our products and services."
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
<h2>Scope of Privacy Policy</h2>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>This Privacy Policy applies to the information that we obtain through your use of privacytoolsIO's services via a Device
|
||||
or when you otherwise interact with privacytoolsIO's official web services.</p>
|
||||
<p>privacytoolsIO services include our:</p>
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li>Websites (privacytools.io and subdomains *.privacytools.io)</li>
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
<p>but does not include:</p>
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li>Products or services for which a separate privacy policy is provided.</li>
|
||||
<li>Third Party Products. These are third party products or services that you may discover on our website or other official services we offer.
|
||||
privacytoolsIO cannot guarantee your privacy outside of websites under our control. You should always review the policies of third party products
|
||||
and services to make sure you are comfortable with the ways in which they collect and use your information.</li>
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
|
||||
<h2>Website Visitors</h2>
|
||||
<p>Like most website operators, privacytoolsIO collects non-personally-identifying information of the sort that web browsers and servers typically make available,
|
||||
such as the browser type, language preference, referring site, and the date and time of each visitor request. privacytoolsIO's purpose in collecting
|
||||
non-personally identifying information is to better understand how its visitors use its website and related services.
|
||||
From time to time, privacytoolsIO may release non-personally-identifying information in the aggregate, e.g.,
|
||||
by publishing a report on trends in the usage of its website.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>privacytoolsIO collects anonymized IP addresses in this form: 192.xxx.xxx.xxx for self-hosted Matomo statistics software.
|
||||
privacytoolsIO does not use such information to identify its visitors, however, and does not disclose such information,
|
||||
other than under the same circumstances that it uses and discloses personally-identifying information, as described below.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<h2>Opting Out of Website Tracking</h2>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>privacytoolsIO uses a self-hosted Matomo install to track visitor data. You can opt out entirely using the form below. This form may not function correctly with
|
||||
an ad blocker enabled.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<iframe
|
||||
style="border: 1; height: 120px; width: 100%;"
|
||||
src="https://stats.privacytools.io/index.php?module=CoreAdminHome&action=optOut&language=en&backgroundColor=&fontColor=212529&fontSize=1rem&fontFamily=-apple-system%2CBlinkMacSystemFont%2C%22Segoe%20UI%22%2CRoboto%2C%22Helvetica%20Neue%22%2CArial%2Csans-serif%2C%22Apple%20Color%20Emoji%22%2C%22Segoe%20UI%20Emoji%22%2C%22Segoe%20UI%20Symbol%22%2C%22Noto%20Color%20Emoji%22"
|
||||
></iframe>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>privacytoolsIO respects your Do Not Track setting in your browser. Users with Do Not Track enabled will not be tracked by any of our platforms.
|
||||
You are also free to block stats.privacytools.io using whatever method you prefer with no detrimental effects on your experience using our services.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<h2>Gathering of Personally-Identifying Information</h2>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Certain visitors to privacytoolsIO's websites choose to interact with privacytoolsIO in ways that require privacytoolsIO to gather personally-identifying information.
|
||||
The amount and type of information that privacytoolsIO gathers depends on the nature of the interaction. For example, we ask visitors who use our <a href="https://social.privacytools.io/">Mastodon service</a>
|
||||
to provide a username and email address. In each case, privacytoolsIO collects such information only as in necessary or appropriate to fulfill the purpose of the
|
||||
visitor’s interaction with privacytoolsIO. privacytoolsIO does not disclose personally-identifying information other than as described below. And visitors can always
|
||||
refuse to supply personally-identifying information, with the caveat that it may prevent them from engaging in certain website-related activities.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<h2>Protection of Personally-Identifying Information</h2>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>privacytoolsIO will never rent, sell, nor give away potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information to any third parties.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>If you are a registered user of a privacytoolsIO service such as Mastodon or PeerTube, privacytoolsIO may occasionally send you an email to tell you about new features,
|
||||
solicit your feedback, or just keep you up to date with what’s going on with the service and the privacytoolsIO organization.
|
||||
We expect to keep this type of email to a minimum.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>privacytoolsIO takes all measures reasonably necessary to protect against the unauthorized access, use, alteration, or destruction of potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<h2>Aggregated Statistics</h2>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>privacytoolsIO may collect statistics about the behavior of visitors to its websites, and may reveal generalized statistics related to a variety of our services.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<h2>Cookies</h2>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>A cookie is a string of information that a website stores on a visitor’s computer, and that the visitor’s browser provides to the website each time the visitor returns.
|
||||
privacytoolsIO uses cookies to help privacytoolsIO track visitor statistics, a visitor's usage of the privacytoolsIO website or services, and their services preferences.
|
||||
privacytoolsIO visitors who do not wish to have cookies placed on their computers should set their browsers to refuse cookies before using privacytoolsIO's websites,
|
||||
with the drawback that certain features of privacytoolsIO's websites may not function properly without the aid of cookies.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<h2>Privacy Policy Changes</h2>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Although most changes are likely to be minor, privacytoolsIO may change its Privacy Policy from time to time, and at privacytoolsIO's sole discretion.
|
||||
privacytoolsIO encourages visitors to frequently check this page for any changes to its Privacy Policy. Your continued use of this site
|
||||
after any change in this Privacy Policy will constitute your acceptance of such change.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<h2>Contact Us</h2>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>If you have any questions or concerns about this privacy policy or the data we collect, you are free to <a href="https://github.com/privacytoolsIO/privacytools.io/issues">open an issue on our issue tracker at GitHub</a>.</p>

||||
## Who is privacytools.io?
|
||||
|
||||
privacytools.io is an unincorporated community developing this website and a number of privacy-friendly services. The current list of public team members [can be found on GitHub](https://github.com/orgs/privacytoolsIO/people). In order to operate these services, privacytools.io receives hosting and administration services from Aragon Ventures LLC, which also collects payments and donations on the privacytools.io team's behalf.
|
||||
|
||||
## How does privacytools.io collect data about me?
|
||||
|
||||
We collect data:
|
||||
|
||||
* When you browse a website, forum, or other privacytools.io service.
|
||||
* When you create an account on a privacytools.io service.
|
||||
* When you post, send private messages, or otherwise participate on a privacytools.io service.
|
||||
|
||||
This data will be collected regardless of browser, device, or app used to access our services. We do not buy or otherwise receive data from data brokers.
|
||||
|
||||
## What data do you collect and why?
|
||||
|
||||
### We collect data about visits to our websites.
|
||||
|
||||
When you visit a privacytools.io website or service, regardless of whether you have an account or not, the website may use cookies, server logs, and other methods to collect data about what pages you visit, when, and how.
|
||||
|
||||
We use this data to:
|
||||
|
||||
* Optimize websites and services, so that they are quick and easy to use.
|
||||
* Diagnose and debug technical errors.
|
||||
* Defend websites and services from abuse and technical attacks.
|
||||
* Compile statistics on the popularity of a website, page, post, topic, etc.
|
||||
* Compile statistics on the kinds of software and computers visitors use.
|
||||
|
||||
This data may be stored in an identifiable form for up to two weeks. In special circumstances—such as extended investigations regarding a technical attack—we may preserve logged data for longer periods for analysis. We store aggregate statistics about use of the websites and services we host indefinitely, but those statistics do not include data identifiable to you personally.
|
||||
|
||||
You can opt out of some website tracking we do with Matomo using the form below. This form may not work properly with an ad-blocker enabled. Our Matomo instance respects the Do Not Track (DNT) setting in your browser, so users with DNT enabled will not need to complete this form. Limited data may still be collected via server-side logs after opting out here.

||||

|
||||
|
||||
### We collect account data.
|
||||
|
||||
On some websites and services we provide, many features may require an account. For example, on forum.privacytools.io an account is required to post and reply to topics.
|
||||
|
||||
To sign up for most accounts, we will collect a name, username, email, and password. In the event a website requires more information than just that data, that will be clearly marked and noted in a separate privacy statement, per-site.
|
||||
|
||||
We use your account data to identify you on the website, and to create pages specific to you, such as your profile page. We will also use your account data to publish a public profile for you on our services.
|
||||
|
||||
We use your email to:
|
||||
|
||||
* Notify you about posts and other activity on the websites or services.
|
||||
* Reset your password and help keep your account secure.
|
||||
* Contact you in special circumstances related to your account.
|
||||
* Contact you about legal requests, such as DMCA takedown requests.
|
||||
|
||||
On some websites and services you may provide additional information for your account, such as a short biography, avatar, your location, or your birthday. We make that information available to everyone who can access the website or service in question. This information is not required to use any of our services, and can be erased at any time.
|
||||
|
||||
We will store your account data as long as your account remains open. After closing an account, we may retain some or all of your account data in the form of backups or archives for up to 90 days.
|
||||
|
||||
