Who is responsible
TecWeb B.V., Madame Curiestraat 17, 2171 TW Sassenheim, the Netherlands (KvK 69862109) is the data controller for tooltiki.com. Questions about this policy: info@tooltiki.com.
What we never collect
Nothing you type into a tool. Conversions, calculations and picks happen on your device; the inputs and results are never sent to a server, stored or logged, and they are never part of analytics. This is the founding rule of the site, not a setting.
What stays on your device
A few local entries in your browser: language, theme, bookmarks you add, and the star rating you gave a tool. They never leave your device and you can clear them in your browser at any time.
The three things a page can send us
One — the star rating at the foot of a tool page sends the tool name, a score and a timestamp, with no identifier attached; we use it to find tools worth rebuilding and never publish it. Two; mail-this-page sends one email with the link to the address you give; the address is used for that single send and then discarded. Three: the report and suggestion forms send what you wrote, plus (for reports) the tool name, page address, browser version and screen size so we can reproduce the problem; an email address is optional and only used to reply. All three are rate-limited and protected against bots.
Analytics
We use Google Analytics 4 to count page views and understand which tools are used, with IP anonymisation on. In the EEA, the UK and Switzerland analytics storage stays denied, so GA4 sends a cookieless ping: no cookie is written and no identifier is recorded. Outside those regions it may set the cookies listed in the cookie policy. Google LLC processes this data on our behalf and may transfer it to the United States under the EU–US Data Privacy Framework. Analytics data is retained for 14 months.
Advertising
A third-party advertising network serves the ads that pay for the site. It may set its own cookies and similar identifiers in your browser to select, cap and measure what it shows you, and it acts as an independent controller for that processing. It is never given anything you type into a tool. You can block or clear these cookies in your browser settings at any time; the tools work identically either way.
Legal bases
Cookies set by the advertising network rest on consent where consent is required (art. 6(1)(a) GDPR); you can block or clear them in your browser at any time. Handling a report, suggestion or mail-this-page request rests on our legitimate interest in running and improving the site (art. 6(1)(f)), using the minimum data needed for each.
Your rights
You can ask us for access, correction, deletion, restriction, portability, and you can object to processing based on legitimate interest. Write to info@tooltiki.com. Note that we usually cannot identify you: ratings carry no identifier and mail addresses are discarded after sending, so often there is nothing linkable to you to hand over or delete. You can also complain to the Dutch supervisory authority, the Autoriteit Persoonsgegevens (autoriteitpersoonsgegevens.nl).
Changes
When this policy changes, the date above changes with it. Meaningful changes are noted on the blog. We never weaken the founding rule: tool input never leaves your browser.
