Privacy Policy

1 Overview & Summary

Welcome to 99tool.in. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect information when you visit or use our website. By using 99tool.in, you agree to the terms described in this policy.

We are committed to building tools that are genuinely useful and genuinely private. We will never monetize your personal data.

2 What Data We Collect

99tool.in does not require any user registration or login. As a result, we do not knowingly collect any of the following:

• Name, email address, or contact details
• Passwords or account credentials
• Text, files, or content you input into any tool
• Payment information of any kind
• Device identifiers or biometric data
• Location data beyond general country-level (via analytics)

The only passive data we may receive is through web server access logs and optional analytics (detailed below).

3 How Our Tools Work

Every tool on 99tool.in is a client-side application. This means:

• All processing happens directly inside your browser using JavaScript
• Text, files, and inputs you provide are never uploaded to any server
• No API calls are made with your data to external services
• Results are computed locally and displayed locally
• Most tools work even if you disconnect from the internet after the page loads

4 Cookies & Local Storage

99tool.in itself does not set tracking cookies. However, some tools use your browser's localStorage to save your preferences or data locally on your device. Examples include:

• To-Do list items saved for your next visit
• Pomodoro timer settings and session history
• User theme or UI preferences (if implemented)

This data is stored only on your device and is never transmitted to our servers. You can clear it at any time through your browser's developer tools or site settings.

Third-party services (e.g., Google Fonts, Analytics) may set their own cookies. See Section 5 for details.

5 Third-Party Services

We use a small number of trusted third-party services to run and improve the website:

• Google Fonts — Used to load the Inter typeface. Google may log font requests. See Google's Privacy Policy.
• Google Analytics — Used to understand aggregate site traffic (pages visited, session duration, device type). See Section 6 for details.
• Google AdSense — We may display ads via Google AdSense. Google may use cookies to serve contextual ads. See Section 7 for details.
• Hosting Provider — Our web host may collect server access logs as described in Section 8.

We do not share your personal information with any other third parties. We do not sell data to advertisers.

6 Analytics

We use Google Analytics (or a similar privacy-focused analytics service) to understand how visitors use 99tool.in. The data collected is aggregated and anonymized, and includes:

• Pages visited and time spent on each page
• Referring website or search engine
• Browser type, operating system, and screen size
• General geographic location (country / city level only)
• Whether you are a new or returning visitor

This data helps us understand which tools are most popular and how we can improve the website. It is never tied to your identity. You can opt out of Google Analytics tracking by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.

7 Advertising

99tool.in displays advertisements provided by Google AdSense to support the free operation of this website. Google AdSense uses cookies to serve ads on our site.

• Google, as a third-party vendor, uses cookies to serve ads on 99tool.in.
• Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to our users based on their visit to our site and/or other sites on the Internet.
• Users may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings.

Alternatively, you can opt out of a third-party vendor's use of cookies for personalized advertising by visiting www.aboutads.info.

We do not control the content of ads served by Google and are not responsible for their privacy practices. If you wish to disable cookies, you may do so through your individual browser options.

8 Server Log Data

Like all websites, our hosting provider's servers automatically record certain technical information when you visit 99tool.in. This log data may include:

• Your IP address (anonymized where possible)
• The date and time of your request
• The page or resource requested (URL)
• The HTTP status code of the response
• Your browser type and operating system (User-Agent string)
• The referring page (where you came from)

This data is used solely for security monitoring, diagnosing technical issues, and preventing abuse. It is not shared with third parties and is retained for a maximum of 30 days.

9 Children's Privacy

99tool.in is suitable for general audiences, including students. We do not knowingly collect any personal information from children under the age of 13 (or the relevant age of digital consent in your country).

Since we do not collect personal data at all, children can safely use our tools. If you believe a child has inadvertently provided us personal information, please contact us and we will take immediate steps to address it.

10 Your Data Rights

Depending on your location, you may have certain rights regarding personal data, including under GDPR (EU), CCPA (California), or similar laws. Since we collect minimal data, most of these rights are automatically satisfied. However, you have the right to:

• Know what data we hold about you (we hold almost none)
• Request deletion of any data associated with you
• Opt out of analytics and advertising cookies
• Clear locally stored data from your browser at any time
• Lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority

To exercise any of these rights, please contact us via our Contact page.

11 Data Security

We take data security seriously. Our website uses HTTPS (SSL/TLS encryption) to protect all data transmitted between your browser and our servers. Since our tools don't send your data to our servers in the first place, the attack surface for data breaches is minimal.

While we implement reasonable security measures, no website can guarantee 100% security. We encourage you to use secure, up-to-date browsers and to clear localStorage data after using shared or public devices.

12 Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time as our website evolves or as legal requirements change. When we make significant changes, we will update the "Last Updated" date at the top of this page.

We encourage you to review this page periodically. Continued use of 99tool.in after any changes constitutes your acceptance of the updated policy.

13 Contact Us

If you have any questions, concerns, or requests regarding this Privacy Policy or our data practices, please don't hesitate to get in touch. We aim to respond within 2 business days.
