Privacy Policy

Overview

ToolForge (“we”, “our”, “us”) operates the website https://toolforge.live. This page explains what information is collected when you use our tools and how it is handled. Most tools process inputs locally in your browser. A small number use external services as described below, and we collect as little information as possible.

Local processing and external services

Most text tools, calculators, generators and file converters run locally in your browser using JavaScript. Inputs for those tools are not sent to our servers. Some features require external services: TempBox communicates with Mail.tm to create temporary mailboxes and retrieve messages; Currency Converter requests rates from open.er-api.com; and QR tools send the text or URL being encoded to api.qrserver.com to generate the image.

Some document tools download processing libraries from the jsDelivr CDN. Documents remain in your browser, but the CDN and other external providers may receive standard connection information such as your IP address, browser details and request time. Do not submit sensitive information to a tool that identifies an external service.

Information we collect

Like most websites, our hosting provider may automatically record standard server logs: your IP address, browser type, the pages you visit and the time of your visit. We use this information only in aggregate to understand traffic and keep the site running reliably. We also store your light/dark theme preference in your browser's localStorage; this never leaves your device.

Cookies and advertising

We use Google AdSense to display advertisements. Google and its partners use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this and 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/or other sites on the Internet.

You may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings. You can also opt out of some third-party vendors' cookies at www.aboutads.info.

Third-party services

Third-party vendors, including Google, may place and read cookies on your browser or use web beacons to collect information as a result of ad serving on this site. We do not control these cookies. Please refer to the respective privacy policies of these third parties for more information.
