+privacytoolsIO services include our:
+-
+

+-
+
- Products or services for which a separate privacy policy is provided. +

Website Visitors
+Like most website operators, privacytoolsIO collects non-personally-identifying information of the sort that web browsers and servers typically make available, + such as the browser type, language preference, referring site, and the date and time of each visitor request. privacytoolsIO's purpose in collecting + non-personally identifying information is to better understand how its visitors use its website and related services. + From time to time, privacytoolsIO may release non-personally-identifying information in the aggregate, e.g., + by publishing a report on trends in the usage of its website.
+ +privacytoolsIO also collects potentially personally-identifying information like Internet Protocol (IP) addresses. + privacytoolsIO does not use such information to identify its visitors, however, and does not disclose such information, + other than under the same circumstances that it uses and discloses personally-identifying information, as described below.
+ +Opting Out of Website Tracking
+ +privacytoolsIO uses a self-hosted Matomo install to track visitor data. You can opt out entirely using the form below. This form may not function correctly with + an ad blocker enabled.
+ + + +privacytoolsIO respects your Do Not Track setting in your browser. Users with Do Not Track enabled will not be tracked by any of our platforms. + You are also free to block stats.privacytools.io using whatever method you prefer with no detrimental effects on your experience using our services.
+ +Gathering of Personally-Identifying Information
+ +Certain visitors to privacytoolsIO's websites choose to interact with privacytoolsIO in ways that require privacytoolsIO to gather personally-identifying information. + The amount and type of information that privacytoolsIO gathers depends on the nature of the interaction. For example, we ask visitors who use our Mastodon service + to provide a username and email address. In each case, privacytoolsIO collects such information only as in necessary or appropriate to fulfill the purpose of the + visitor’s interaction with privacytoolsIO. privacytoolsIO does not disclose personally-identifying information other than as described below. And visitors can always + refuse to supply personally-identifying information, with the caveat that it may prevent them from engaging in certain website-related activities.
+ +Protection of Personally-Identifying Information
+ +privacytoolsIO will never rent, sell, nor give away potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information to any third parties.
+ +If you are a registered user of a privacytoolsIO service such as Mastodon or PeerTube, privacytoolsIO may occasionally send you an email to tell you about new features, + solicit your feedback, or just keep you up to date with what’s going on with the service and the privacytoolsIO organization. + We expect to keep this type of email to a minimum.
+ +privacytoolsIO takes all measures reasonably necessary to protect against the unauthorized access, use, alteration, or destruction of potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information.
+ +Aggregated Statistics
+ +privacytoolsIO may collect statistics about the behavior of visitors to its websites, and may reveal generalized statistics related to a variety of our services.
+ +Cookies
+ +A cookie is a string of information that a website stores on a visitor’s computer, and that the visitor’s browser provides to the website each time the visitor returns. + privacytoolsIO uses cookies to help privacytoolsIO track visitor statistics, a visitor's usage of the privacytoolsIO website or services, and their services preferences. + privacytoolsIO visitors who do not wish to have cookies placed on their computers should set their browsers to refuse cookies before using privacytoolsIO's websites, + with the drawback that certain features of privacytoolsIO's websites may not function properly without the aid of cookies.
+ +Privacy Policy Changes
+ +Although most changes are likely to be minor, privacytoolsIO may change its Privacy Policy from time to time, and at privacytoolsIO's sole discretion. + privacytoolsIO encourages visitors to frequently check this page for any changes to its Privacy Policy.
