Privacy policy

Short version: what you type into our tools is not our business, and we built the site so that we could not read it even if we wanted to.

Tool inputs stay in your browser

Passwords you generate, tokens you decode, subnets you calculate: all of it is processed by JavaScript running on your machine. It is never sent to us or to anyone else. You can verify this with your browser's network inspector; no request leaves the page when you use a browser-based tool.

Server-side lookups

DNS lookups and SSL checks need a server, because your browser cannot open raw TLS connections or query arbitrary DNS records. For those tools, the domain you query is sent to our lookup service, used to perform the query, and discarded. We do not store query history.

Local storage

We use your browser's localStorage to remember your theme, your effects preference and tool settings. This data never leaves your device and you can clear it at any time from your browser settings.

Advertising and cookies

This site uses Google AdSense to display advertising. Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this website or other websites. Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visits to this site and other sites on the internet.

You may opt out of personalized advertising at any time by visiting Google Ads Settings, and you can learn more about how Google uses data in advertising at policies.google.com/technologies/ads. Where local law requires it (for example in the European Economic Area), a consent banner is shown and ad personalization follows your consent choice.

Some pages also contain affiliate links (Amazon Associates and partner programs); the details are on our affiliate disclosure. We run no other analytics: no tracking pixels, no fingerprinting, no session recording.
