Our Commitment to Your Privacy

At Creator Tools, we are committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring transparency about how we handle your data. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and your rights regarding your personal information.

What Data We Collect

1. Data You Provide to Our Tools

When you use our tools (e.g., Teleprompter, Script Timer, YouTube Tag Generator), you may input text, upload images, or enter other content. This data is processed entirely in your browser and is NEVER uploaded to our servers.

• Local Storage: Some tools save your data to your browser's LocalStorage for convenience (e.g., auto-saving scripts). This data stays on YOUR device and is never transmitted to us.
• File Uploads: Image uploads (e.g., thumbnail preview, banner resizer) are processed client-side using JavaScript Canvas API. Files never leave your browser.

2. Analytics Data (Google Analytics)

We use Google Analytics 4 to understand how visitors use our site. This helps us improve our tools and user experience. Google Analytics collects:

• Anonymous Usage Data: Pages visited, time spent on site, device type, browser, location (city/country level, not precise GPS).
• Cookies: Google Analytics uses cookies to track sessions and returning visitors.
• IP Anonymization: We have enabled IP anonymization, so your full IP address is NOT stored.

You can opt out of Google Analytics by using browser extensions like Google Analytics Opt-out Add-on.

3. Cookies

We use cookies for the following purposes:

• Analytics Cookies: Google Analytics cookies (as described above).
• Advertising Cookies (Future): If we integrate Google AdSense in the future, we will display personalized ads based on your interests. You can manage ad personalization in your Google Ads Settings.

How We Use Your Data

Since we do not collect or store personal data, our use of data is extremely limited:

• Improve Our Tools: Analytics data helps us understand which tools are popular, identify bugs, and optimize performance.
• Website Analytics: We analyze traffic patterns to improve content and user experience.
• Legal Compliance: We may use data to comply with legal obligations or respond to lawful requests from authorities.

We do NOT:

• Sell your data to third parties.
• Use your data for marketing purposes (we don't have your email!).
• Share your data with anyone except as required by law.

Third-Party Services

We integrate the following third-party services:

Your Rights (GDPR & CCPA Compliance)

Even though we do not collect personal data, you have the following rights under privacy laws like GDPR (EU) and CCPA (California):

• Right to Access: You can request a copy of any data we hold about you (which is none, except anonymized analytics).
• Right to Deletion: You can clear your browser's LocalStorage at any time to delete tool data.
• Right to Opt-Out: You can disable cookies in your browser settings or use Google Analytics Opt-out.
• Right to Object: You can object to analytics tracking by blocking third-party cookies.

To exercise these rights or ask questions, contact us at: privacy@creator-tools.com (placeholder email).

Children's Privacy (COPPA Compliance)

Our tools are designed for general audiences, including content creators of all ages. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you are a parent and believe your child has used our tools, please note that no personal data was collected or stored.

Data Security

Since all tool processing happens in your browser (client-side), we do not store or transmit your data. This architecture inherently provides strong privacy and security. However, we recommend:

• Using a secure, up-to-date browser.
• Being cautious when using shared or public computers (clear browser data after use).
• Enabling HTTPS (our site is served over HTTPS via Cloudflare).

Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or legal requirements. We will post the updated policy on this page with a new "Last Updated" date. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
