Privacy Policy
Last updated: 2026-07-05
This Privacy Policy explains how MakeToolz ("we", "us", "our") handles information when you use maketoolz.com and its tools. By using the site, you agree to this policy.
Information we collect
We keep data collection to a minimum:
- Text tools and generators run entirely in your browser. The text, numbers, files and links you enter are processed on your device and are never sent to or stored by us.
- Downloaders forward the public post link you submit to the relevant platform to fetch the public media, then discard it. We do not build a history of what you download.
- Log data. Like most sites, our hosting provider may automatically record standard technical data such as your IP address, browser type, and the pages you visit, for security and to keep the service running.
- Contact. If you email us, we keep your message and address only to reply.
Cookies and similar technologies
A cookie is a small file stored on your device. We use them for essential functionality and, where enabled, for analytics and advertising. You can control cookies in your browser settings and through the opt-out links below. See our Cookie Policy for full detail.
Advertising and Google AdSense
We use third-party advertising companies, including Google AdSense, to serve ads when you visit the site. These companies may use cookies and similar technologies to show ads based on your visits to this and other websites.
- Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this website and other websites.
- Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visit to our site and other sites on the internet.
- You can opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings.
- You can opt out of many third-party vendors' cookies for personalized advertising at aboutads.info and, in Europe, at youronlinechoices.eu.
- Where required by law, ads are only personalized after you give consent through our cookie banner, and we honor Google Consent Mode.
For more on how Google uses data from sites that use its services, see Google's Partner Sites policy.
Analytics
We may use privacy-friendly, aggregate analytics to understand page views, referrers and country-level traffic. These are used to improve the site, not to build personal profiles.
How we use information
We use the limited data above to run and secure the site, fix broken tools, respond to your messages, comply with the law, and (with consent where required) show relevant advertising.
Data sharing
We do not sell your personal information. We share data only with service providers that help us operate the site (such as our hosting and advertising partners named above), and only as needed for those services or when required by law.
Data retention
Client-side tool inputs are never stored. Server logs are kept only for a short period for security, then deleted. Emails are kept as long as needed to handle your request.
Children's privacy
The site is not directed to children under 13 (or the minimum age in your country), and we do not knowingly collect their personal data. If you believe a child has provided us data, contact us and we will delete it.
Your rights
Depending on where you live, you have rights over your data, including access, correction, deletion, and opting out of personalized ads. See our GDPR & CCPA page for how to exercise them.
Security
We serve the site over HTTPS and keep our attack surface small (no accounts, no stored files). No method of transmission is 100% secure, but we take reasonable steps to protect any data we do handle.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy as the site or the law changes. The "last updated" date above shows the latest version, and significant changes will be noted on this page.
