Toolgin (“we,” “our,” or “us”) is a free online utility platform offering text, encoding, image, and miscellaneous tools. This Privacy Policy explains how we handle information when you use our website at toolgin.com.

Tool inputs: All tool operations (text processing, encoding, image compression, etc.) run entirely client-side in your browser. Your input data is never transmitted to our servers and we have no access to it.

Usage analytics: We may collect anonymized data about which tools are used and how often, to improve the product. This data cannot be linked to any individual.

Contact form: If you reach out via our contact page, we collect your name, email address, and message to respond to your inquiry.

Preferences: Your theme preference (light/dark) is stored locally in your browser via localStorage. This data never leaves your device.

We use the information we collect to:

• Respond to contact form inquiries
• Understand aggregate usage patterns to improve our tools
• Diagnose and fix technical issues
• Ensure the security and integrity of our service

We do not sell your information to third parties, use it for targeted advertising, or share it with anyone except as described in this policy.

Toolgin uses localStorage to save your dark/light theme preference. We use cookies for analytics (Google Analytics) and advertising (Google AdSense) purposes. These cookies do not contain personally identifiable information and can be blocked via your browser settings without affecting core tool functionality.

For full details, see our Cookie Policy.
