Privacy Policy

Data processing — client-side only

CleanToolkit is a collection of free online utility tools. All tools process your data entirely within your browser (client-side). No data you enter into our tools is transmitted to, stored on, or accessible by our servers. Your input never leaves your device.

Information we collect

We do not require registration, login, or any personal information to use our tools. The only information we collect is through cookies and third-party analytics/advertising services as described below.

Google AdSense

We use Google AdSense to display advertisements on our site. Google AdSense is provided by Google LLC and its affiliates.

• Google and third-party vendors use cookies — including the DoubleClick DART cookie — to serve ads based on your visits to this site and other websites.
• The DART cookie enables Google and its partners to show you ads based on your browsing patterns and interests.
• You can opt out of the DART cookie and personalized advertising by visiting Google Ad Settings.

Google Analytics

We use Google Analytics 4 (GA4) to understand how visitors interact with our site. Google Analytics collects anonymized usage data such as pages visited, time on site, device type, browser type, and approximate geographic location.

Google Analytics uses cookies to collect this information. You can opt out by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Add-on.

Cookies

We use the following types of cookies:

• Essential cookies — Required for basic site functionality, such as storing your theme preference (light/dark mode). These do not collect personal data.
• Analytics cookies (Google Analytics / GA4) — Used to collect anonymized usage statistics to help us understand traffic patterns and improve the site.
• Advertising cookies (Google AdSense) — Used by Google and third-party ad networks to serve personalized or contextual advertisements.

You can manage or disable non-essential cookies via the cookie consent banner displayed on your first visit, or through your browser settings.

Your rights (GDPR)

If you are located in the European Economic Area (EEA), you have the following rights under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR):

• Right of access — You can request a copy of the personal data we hold about you.
• Right to rectification — You can request correction of inaccurate personal data.
• Right to erasure — You can request deletion of your personal data.
• Right to restrict processing — You can request that we limit how we use your data.
• Right to data portability — You can request your data in a structured, machine-readable format.

Since our tools process data entirely client-side and we do not collect personal data beyond anonymized analytics, there is typically no personal data to manage. However, you may exercise any of these rights by contacting us.

Data retention

We do not store any data you enter into our tools. Analytics data collected by Google Analytics is retained according to Google's default retention settings (14 months).

Children's privacy

Our site is not directed at children under 16. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
