What Information We Collect

Information You Give Us Directly

If you use the contact form on this site, you enter your name, email address, and message. That information comes through the form provider and is used only to respond to your message. We do not add you to any mailing list.

Information Collected Automatically

Like most websites, ARYX TOOLS collects certain information automatically when you visit. This includes your IP address, the browser and device you are using, which pages you visit, how long you spend on each page, and the site or search term that brought you here. This data is collected through analytics tools and does not identify you personally by name.

About the Tools Themselves

Almost every tool on this site runs entirely in your browser. Text you type into the Word Counter, JSON you paste into the Formatter, passwords generated by the Password Generator, and QR codes you create are all processed locally on your device and are never sent to any server. We have no access to this data and no way to see it.

Cookies

This site uses cookies. Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They serve several purposes here.

Functional cookies keep the site working correctly. Analytics cookies, placed by Google Analytics, track how people use the site in aggregate so we can understand which tools are useful and where things can be improved. Advertising cookies, placed by Google AdSense, are used to show ads that may be relevant to your interests based on your browsing behavior.

You can control cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers let you block or delete cookies. You can also opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google's Ads Settings.

How We Use the Information We Collect

The information collected on this site is used to understand how visitors use the site and which tools they find useful, to improve site performance, to serve relevant advertising through Google AdSense, to respond to messages sent through the contact form, and to detect and address technical issues.

We do not sell personal information to third parties. We do not use the information collected here for purposes unrelated to running this site.

Google AdSense and Advertising

ARYX TOOLS uses Google AdSense to display advertisements. Google AdSense uses cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this site and other sites across the internet. This is called interest-based or behavioral advertising.

You can opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google's Ads Settings or through the Network Advertising Initiative at networkadvertising.org/choices. For more information about how Google collects and uses data, visit google.com/policies/privacy/partners.

Third-Party Services

This site uses third-party services to function. Each has its own privacy policy that governs how they handle data.

Google Analytics is used to collect anonymized data about site traffic and user behavior. Google's privacy policy is available at policies.google.com/privacy.

Google AdSense is used to display ads. Details on Google's advertising practices are at policies.google.com/technologies/ads.

Formspree is used to process contact form submissions. Formspree's privacy policy is available at their website. Messages submitted through the contact form are handled according to their terms.

Children's Privacy

ARYX TOOLS is not directed at children under 13 years of age. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child under 13 has submitted information through the contact form on this site, please contact us through the contact page and we will delete it promptly.

Your Privacy Rights

Depending on where you are located, you may have rights regarding your personal information. These may include the right to access information we hold about you, the right to request correction of inaccurate information, the right to request deletion of your information, and the right to opt out of behavioral advertising.

To exercise any of these rights, contact us through the contact form on this site. If you are a California resident, you have rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act. If you are in the European Economic Area, you have rights under the General Data Protection Regulation. We honor requests under both frameworks.

Data Security

We take reasonable steps to protect information collected on this site. No method of transmission over the internet is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee the absolute security of any information provided or collected automatically. Because most tools on this site process data entirely in your browser, your input never reaches our infrastructure in the first place.

Links to Other Sites

ARYX TOOLS may contain links to external websites as references. Once you leave this site, this Privacy Policy no longer applies. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of external sites and recommend you read their own privacy policies.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, the Last Updated date at the top of this page will change. Continued use of the site after a policy update means you accept the revised policy.

If you have questions or concerns about this Privacy Policy or how your information is handled, please use the contact form. We will get back to you as soon as we can.
