Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

Welcome to Shruchin ToolTree ("we", "us", "our"). Your privacy is critically important to us, and this Privacy Policy is designed to help you understand what information we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have regarding your data when you visit or use our website and its tools.

By using Shruchin ToolTree, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy. If you do not agree with any part of this policy, please do not use our website.

2. Information We Do NOT Collect

Shruchin ToolTree is built on a privacy-first foundation. We want to make it crystal clear what we do NOT collect:

• Your files and content: All tools process your data entirely inside your browser. Images, JSON, text, passwords, QR codes and any other content you input never leave your device. Nothing is uploaded to our servers.
• Personal identifiers: We do not require signups, do not create accounts, and do not collect names, emails, phone numbers or addresses (unless you voluntarily send them via our contact form).
• Tracking across websites: We do not use cross-site tracking pixels, fingerprinting, or invasive analytics.

3. Information We May Collect

3.1 Non-Personal Analytics

We may use privacy-respecting analytics (such as anonymized page view counts) to understand which tools are most useful and how to improve them. This data is aggregated and cannot be used to identify you personally. Metrics may include:

• Approximate geographic region (country / city level)
• Browser type and version
• Operating system
• Referring website
• Pages visited and time spent

3.2 Local Storage (Browser)

To improve your experience, we store small amounts of data in your browser's localStorage. This data never leaves your device and can be cleared at any time by clearing your browser data. This includes:

• Your theme preference (dark or light mode)
• Recently used tool settings (for convenience)
• Non-sensitive tool-specific state (e.g., color history in Color Picker)

3.3 Voluntary Contact Submissions

If you fill out our contact form, we collect only what you enter: your name, email address and message. This information is used solely to respond to your inquiry.

4. How We Use Information

Any information we do collect is used strictly for the following purposes:

• To operate, maintain and improve our website and tools
• To respond to your inquiries and support requests
• To detect, prevent and address technical issues, abuse or security threats
• To understand which tools are popular, so we can prioritize enhancements
• To comply with legal obligations, if applicable

5. Cookies and Similar Technologies

Shruchin ToolTree may use minimal cookies and localStorage for essential functionality (like remembering your dark/light mode preference). We do not use tracking cookies for advertising purposes ourselves. Third-party ad providers (see Section 6) may set their own cookies subject to their own privacy policies.

You can control or disable cookies through your browser settings at any time. Please note that disabling cookies may affect some non-critical features (e.g., theme preference not being remembered).

6. Third-Party Services & Advertisements

To keep Shruchin ToolTree free forever, we may display advertisements served by third-party ad networks such as Google AdSense. These providers may use cookies and web beacons to serve relevant ads based on your visit to our site and other websites. This information is not tied to any personally identifiable information you provide to us.

You can opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings or the Digital Advertising Alliance opt-out.

We also load Google Fonts for typography. Google may collect standard connection metadata (IP, browser). See Google's Privacy Policy.

7. Data Security

Because our tools run entirely in your browser, the vast majority of your data is never transmitted anywhere. For the limited data we do handle (analytics, contact form submissions), we use reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure or destruction.

However, no method of transmission over the Internet is 100% secure. While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your information, we cannot guarantee absolute security.

8. Children's Privacy

Shruchin ToolTree is not directed at children under the age of 13 (or the equivalent minimum age in your jurisdiction). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us and we will delete it promptly.

9. International Users

Shruchin ToolTree is accessible worldwide. If you access our site from outside your country of residence, you understand and consent to the transfer and processing of your information as described in this policy.

10. Your Rights

Depending on your jurisdiction (GDPR, CCPA, etc.), you may have the following rights:

• Right to Access: Request a copy of any personal information we hold about you
• Right to Rectification: Request correction of inaccurate personal data
• Right to Erasure: Request deletion of your personal data
• Right to Object: Object to processing of your personal data
• Right to Data Portability: Receive your data in a portable format
• Right to Withdraw Consent: At any time, where applicable

To exercise any of these rights, contact us at achintobanerjee2@gmail.com.

11. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, technologies, legal requirements, or for other operational reasons. When we do, we'll update the "Last Updated" date at the top of this page. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
