Privacy Policy
Last updated: September 2026
Our Commitment to Privacy
ToolNest is built with privacy at its core. We believe your data belongs to you, and we designed our tools to respect that principle. This policy explains how we handle information when you use our website and tools.
Tool Data Processing
All tools on ToolNest run entirely in your browser. The text, code, numbers, images and files you enter or upload are processed locally on your device using JavaScript and browser APIs. Nothing you input is ever sent to, stored on, or accessed by our servers.
This means:
- We cannot see what you type into any tool.
- We cannot access files you upload for processing.
- Your data never leaves your device.
- No tool data is stored in any database or log.
Information We Collect
Automatically collected
When you visit our website, our hosting provider may automatically collect standard server logs including your IP address, browser type, operating system, referring URL, and pages visited. This data is used solely for operating and improving the service.
Analytics
We use privacy-respecting analytics to understand aggregate usage patterns (e.g., which pages are most popular). This analytics data is aggregated and does not personally identify individual visitors. We do not use Google Analytics or any tracking that sells your data.
Contact information
If you email us at support@smartwebhub.net, we will only use your email address to respond to your inquiry. We do not add email addresses to mailing lists without explicit consent.
Cookies
ToolNest uses only minimal, essential cookies required for the site to function correctly (e.g., remembering your theme preference). We do not use advertising cookies, social media tracking pixels, or third-party ad networks.
For more details, see our Cookie Policy.
Third-Party Services
We do not sell, trade, or rent your personal information to third parties. We do not embed third-party trackers, ads, or social media widgets that collect data.
Data Security
Since tool data never leaves your device, there is no risk of it being intercepted or stored on our servers. Our website is served over HTTPS to protect any data transmitted between your browser and our hosting infrastructure.
Children's Privacy
ToolNest does not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. Our tools are general-purpose and do not require account creation or personal data input.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this privacy policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated "Last updated" date. Continued use of the site after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
