<h1 class="display-4">Privacy Policy</h1>
|
||
<p>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.</p>
|
||
</div>
|
||
|
||
<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 also collects potentially personally-identifying information like Internet Protocol (IP) addresses.
|
||
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>

|

|
||
<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>
