ToolSink

Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains what information ToolSink (“we”, “our”, “us”) collects when you use https://toolsink.com, how we use it, who we share it with, and the rights you have over your data.

Last updated: July 22, 2026

1. Summary (plain-English)

  • Most of our tools run entirely in your browser — your files are not uploaded unless a tool explicitly requires server processing.
  • We collect a minimal amount of anonymous analytics to understand which tools are useful.
  • We show ads via Google AdSense.
  • You can opt out of personalised ads and request deletion of any personal data we hold about you.

2. Information we collect

2.1 Information you provide

  • Contact form / email — when you contact us we receive your name, email address, and message.
  • Files you upload — only when a tool clearly indicates server processing is required. Uploaded files are deleted automatically after processing (typically within one hour) and are never used to train models or shared with any third party.

2.2 Information we collect automatically

  • Usage data — pages visited, tool actions, time on page, referrer, viewport, device type, general geographic region (country / city level).
  • Technical data — browser type & version, operating system, language, anonymised IP address.

2.3 Browser Games Data

We keep things minimal. Your games do not require personal data to play.

However, we may collect:

  • Basic Usage Data — Game scores, time spent in games, and game progress (saved locally or on server).

Cookies & Local Storage
We may use Cookies or Local Storage to:

  • Save game progress
  • Store preferences (like difficulty level)

You can disable cookies in your browser anytime.

  • Monitor performance, detect abuse and fix bugs.
  • Respond to your support enquiries.
  • Serve and measure advertising, including personalised ads (unless you opt out).
  • Comply with legal obligations and enforce our Terms & Conditions.

4. Third-party services

4.1 Analytics & Tracking

We use third-party analytics services such as Google Analytics to understand how users interact with our website. These services may automatically collect certain information such as your IP address, browser type, device information, and pages visited.

While we do not directly use cookies, these third-party services may use cookies or similar technologies to provide their functionality. You can learn more about how Google uses data here: policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites.

4.2 Advertising (Google AdSense)

We use Google AdSense to display advertising on our website. To comply with Google AdSense program policies, please note the following regarding how ads and cookies are handled:

  • Third party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this website or 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/or other sites on the Internet.
  • You may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Ads Settings. (Alternatively, you can opt out of a third-party vendor's use of cookies for personalized advertising by visiting www.aboutads.info).

ToolSink is not directed to children under 13 (or 16 in the EEA). We do not knowingly collect personal data from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us and we will delete it.

8. Data security

We use HTTPS everywhere, follow reasonable industry-standard security practices, and limit access to personal data to authorised personnel. However, no method of transmission or storage on the Internet is 100% secure.

9. Data retention

  • Uploaded files — deleted automatically after processing (typically within 1 hour).
  • Contact-form messages — kept for up to 24 months to reference past support conversations, unless you ask us to delete them sooner.
  • Analytics data — aggregated and retained for up to 26 months.

10. International transfers

Our providers may process data outside your country of residence, including the United States. Where required, we rely on Standard Contractual Clauses or equivalent safeguards.
