Privacy Policy

Your privacy matters — here's how we handle your data

Last updated: July 2026

Overview

WoDeTool ("we", "our") respects your privacy. This policy explains what data we collect, how we use it, and what rights you have when using our website, online tools, and Chrome browser extension. It also describes cookies and third-party advertising technologies used when Google Analytics or Google AdSense is enabled on the site.

Data We Collect

Most tools run entirely in your browser and do not transmit tool input to our servers. Depending on your settings and consent, we may process the following:

Usage analytics (such as page views and tool usage events) via Google Analytics, used to improve the platform.

Voluntary feedback submissions (tool name, description) stored for product improvement.

Essential cookies or local storage for theme preference, language, and cookie-consent choice. Analytics and advertising cookies may also be set by Google as described in Advertising & Cookies below.

Advertising & Cookies (Google AdSense)

WoDeTool may display ads served by Google AdSense and may use related Google advertising technologies. Please note:

Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on a user's prior visits to this website or other websites.
Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to your users based on their visit to this site and/or other sites on the Internet.
Third parties (including Google) may place and read cookies on your browser, or use web beacons / similar technologies, to collect information as a result of ad serving on this site.
Information associated with advertising may include cookie identifiers, IP address, and approximate location or device/browser data, subject to your consent choices and applicable law.

Opt out of personalized ads

You can opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings or the industry opt-out page at aboutads.info. You can also manage analytics/advertising cookies via the cookie banner on this site (where shown) or your browser settings. Google Ads Settings · aboutads.info

Chrome Extension

The WoDeTool Chrome extension helps you search tools, detect clipboard content on demand, and open wodetool.com with selected text. It follows these privacy principles:

Preferences (language, favorites, recent tools) are stored only in chrome.storage.local on your device — never on our servers.

Clipboard content is read only when you click the detect button in the extension popup. We do not monitor clipboard activity in the background.

When you use the context menu on selected text, the text is passed to wodetool.com via URL parameters to prefill the tool. No other page content is collected.

The extension itself does not include analytics, ads, or third-party tracking scripts. Ads may appear on wodetool.com pages opened from the extension, subject to this website privacy policy.

How We Use Data

We use collected data to operate, secure, and improve WoDeTool. We do not sell your personal information. When Google Analytics or Google AdSense runs on the site, Google and its partners may process technical identifiers (such as cookies, device/browser information, and IP address) for analytics and advertising as described below and in Google's policies. Tool input content is not sent to these advertising or analytics services by our application logic.

Third-Party Services

We use Google Analytics (measurement) and may use Google AdSense (advertising). These services are provided by Google and are governed by Google's Privacy Policy and advertising policies. We do not send the content you paste into tools to Google Analytics or AdSense. Links: Google Privacy Policy (policies.google.com/privacy) and How Google uses data from sites that use its services.

Your Rights

Depending on your location, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or restrict certain processing of your personal data, and to withdraw cookie consent where consent is the legal basis. You may disable analytics via browser settings, extensions, or our cookie banner. Because most tool processing happens locally, tool input is typically not stored on our servers. Contact us to request deletion of feedback you submitted.

Policy Changes

We may update this policy occasionally. Significant changes will be announced on this page with an updated date.
