Privacy Policy
A plain-English explanation of what data we collect, what we don't, and how it's used.
Last updated: April 20, 2026
Introduction
The most important thing to know upfront: the values you type into our calculators and converters never leave your browser. All tool calculations run entirely client-side, so we have no way of seeing — let alone storing — your inputs. What we do collect is basic analytics data to understand how the site is used. This policy explains all of that clearly.
Information We Collect
Automatically Collected Information
- IP address (used for spam prevention, not stored long-term)
- Browser type and version
- Device type (desktop, tablet, or mobile)
- Pages visited and time spent (aggregate page view data)
- Referring website (how you found us)
User-Provided Information
- Name and email address, when you leave a comment or submit the contact form
- Which tools you use and how often (anonymous aggregate counts only — not your inputs)
- Your cookie consent choices
How We Use Your Information
- To keep the site running and fix problems when they come up
- To understand which tools are most useful so we can prioritize improvements
- To detect and block spam or automated abuse of the site
- To reply to messages submitted through comments or the contact form
- We do not send marketing emails. We do not sell your data to anyone.
Cookies and Tracking
We use a small number of cookies. A session cookie keeps your language preference while you browse. If you accept analytics cookies, Google Analytics and Microsoft Clarity collect aggregate data about page visits and how people navigate the site — this helps us understand what's working and what isn't. If you accept marketing cookies, Google AdSense may serve ads. When you first visit, a banner lets you choose which categories you're comfortable with.
✓ Essential Cookies
Session management and language preference — these are required for the site to function and cannot be disabled
📊 Analytics Cookies
Google Analytics and Microsoft Clarity — used to measure traffic and understand site usage patterns (only with your consent)
📢 Marketing Cookies
Google AdSense — used to display relevant advertisements (only with your consent)
Third-Party Services
These are the third-party services that may receive data when you use this site (subject to your cookie consent choices):
- Google Analytics: Tracks page views, session duration, and general traffic patterns. Data is anonymized and aggregated.
- Microsoft Clarity: Records heatmaps and session replays to help us spot usability issues. No personally identifiable information is captured.
- Google AdSense: May display ads on certain pages. Ad personalization is governed by Google's own privacy policy and your consent settings.
Data Security
All traffic between your browser and this site is encrypted via HTTPS — the padlock in your address bar confirms this. Contact form submissions and comments are stored securely and only accessible to site administrators. That said, no system on the internet can claim to be entirely immune to security issues. We keep dependencies updated and follow standard security practices, but it's worth being thoughtful about what personal information you share in any online form.
Your Rights (GDPR)
If you are in the European Union or otherwise covered by GDPR, you have the right to:
- Access your personal data
- Correct inaccurate data
- Request deletion of your data
- Object to data processing
- Data portability
- Withdraw consent at any time
Children's Privacy
Our tools are suitable for general use, including by students. However, we don't knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you're a parent and believe your child has submitted personal details through a comment or form, please contact us at hello@freewebutilities.com and we'll remove it promptly.
Changes to This Policy
If we make meaningful changes to this policy — for example, adding a new third-party service — we'll update this page and the "Last updated" date at the top. Continued use of the site after changes are posted means you accept the updated policy. We won't email you about routine updates.
