Privacy Policy

Last updated: January 1, 2026

The short version: Files you process with our tools never leave your browser. We don't have accounts, so we don't store user data. We use standard analytics (Google Analytics) and display advertising on some pages. That's it.

1. Who We Are

WildandFree Tools ("we," "us," "our") operates the website wildandfreetools.com and the 350+ browser-based tools, tutorial articles, and category pages hosted on it. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and your rights regarding it.

2. Information We Do Not Collect

Because our tools are browser-based, we do not collect, receive, store, or transmit the files, documents, images, audio, video, text, or other data that you process with any tool on this site. All file processing happens locally in your browser. Your content never leaves your device through our tools.

We do not have user accounts. We do not ask for your email, name, phone number, date of birth, or any other personal identifier to use our tools.

3. Information We Do Collect

Analytics

We use Google Analytics 4 to understand which pages are visited, which tools are used most, and how visitors navigate the site. Google Analytics collects standard, aggregated data such as:

Pages visited and time spent on each
Approximate geographic location (country/region level)
Device type, browser, and operating system
How you arrived at our site (referral source)
Anonymized IP address

This data is used only in aggregate to improve the site. We do not attempt to identify individual visitors. You can opt out of Google Analytics by using browser extensions such as Google's official opt-out add-on.

Cookies

We use cookies for analytics and advertising. Some tools may use browser localStorage to save your preferences (e.g., remembered settings within a tool). This data stays on your device and is not transmitted to us.

Advertising

Some pages on WildandFree Tools display advertisements provided by third-party ad networks. These networks may use cookies, web beacons, or similar technologies to serve ads based on your prior visits to our site or other sites. Their data collection practices are governed by their own privacy policies.

Contact Form Submissions

If you contact us through our contact form or email, we retain the content of your message and your email address solely to respond to your inquiry. We do not use this information for marketing, share it with third parties, or add you to any mailing list.

4. How We Use Information

To operate, maintain, and improve the site
To understand which tools are useful and which need fixing
To respond to inquiries you send us
To display relevant advertising on supported pages
To detect and prevent abuse, spam, or security threats

5. Third-Party Services

We use the following third-party services, each with its own privacy policy:

Google Analytics — site analytics
Cloudflare — content delivery and security
Third-party ad networks — advertising on some pages
Email providers — for responding to contact form messages

6. Data Retention

Because we don't have user accounts or collect files, there is very little user data to retain. Analytics data is kept according to Google Analytics' default retention settings. Contact form submissions are retained for as long as reasonably needed to handle the conversation.

7. Children's Privacy

Our site is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us and we will delete it promptly.

8. Your Rights

Depending on where you live, you may have rights under laws such as the GDPR (European Union), CCPA (California), or similar regulations. These may include the right to access, correct, or delete information we hold about you, or to opt out of certain data uses. To exercise any of these rights, email us at [email protected].

9. International Users

Our site is hosted in the United States. If you visit from another country, any data we do collect (analytics, contact messages) may be transferred to and stored in the U.S. By using the site, you consent to this transfer.

10. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we'll update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. Significant changes will be noted prominently on the homepage for a reasonable period.
