Privacy Policy
Last updated: July 25, 2025
This Privacy Policy describes our policies on the collection, use, and disclosure of your information. Your privacy is critically important to us. At Browser Utility Tools, we have a few fundamental principles:
Core Principle: Your Data is Your Own
The vast majority of tools on this website operate entirely on the client-side. This means that any data you input, files you upload, or information generated is processed directly within your browser. We do not see, collect, or store this information on any server.
- No Tracking or Cookies: We do not use cookies for tracking or advertising purposes. We only use `localStorage` for saving your theme preference (light/dark mode).
- No Personal Information: We do not require you to create an account or provide any personal information to use our tools.
- Client-Side Tools: Tools like the QR Code Generator, Image Size Reducer, Converters, and Calculators process all data locally. Your files and data never leave your computer.
Tools with External Network Requests
A few of our tools need to contact external, third-party services to function. We have carefully selected reputable services for these features. The data sent is limited to what is necessary for the tool to work.
- Public IP & Network Info: This tool contacts services like `ipify.org` to determine your public IP address. Only your IP address is sent in the request, which is standard for any internet connection.
- DNS Lookup: This tool uses Google's public DNS service. The domain you look up is sent to Google's servers to retrieve the DNS records.
- Internet Speed Test: This feature is an embedded iframe from `librespeed.org`, an open-source speed test provider. Your interaction with it is subject to their privacy policy.
Server-Side Tools (Ping)
The "Ping" tool is the only one that uses our own backend server. When you use this tool, the domain or IP address you enter is sent to our server to perform the ping request. We do not log or store the targets you ping.
Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page. You are advised to review this Privacy Policy periodically for any changes.
