Privacy Policy
Last updated: February 2026
1. Introduction
ToolPulse ("we", "our", "us") operates the ToolPulse website. This page informs you of our policies regarding the collection, use, and disclosure of personal data when you use our service.
2. Data We Collect
We collect minimal data:
- Usage Data: We collect anonymous usage data such as pages visited, tools used, and browser type. This data is collected via analytics and is not personally identifiable.
- Text You Submit to AI Tools: When you use our AI-powered tools, your input text is sent to our AI provider (Anthropic) for processing. We do not store this text after processing is complete.
- IP Address: We temporarily log IP addresses for rate limiting purposes only. These are not stored permanently or linked to any personal data.
3. Cookies and Advertising
We use Google AdSense to display advertisements. Google may use cookies and web beacons to serve ads based on your prior visits to our website or other websites. You can opt out of personalised advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings.
We also use localStorage (not cookies) to store your tool preferences and rate limit counters locally in your browser. This data never leaves your device.
4. Third-Party Services
- Google AdSense: For advertising. See Google's Privacy Policy.
- Anthropic: For AI tool processing. See Anthropic's Privacy Policy.
5. Data Retention
We do not permanently store any personal data. AI tool inputs are processed in real-time and discarded. Rate limit data is temporary and automatically expires.
6. Your Rights (GDPR)
If you are a resident of the European Economic Area, you have certain data protection rights including the right to access, correct, or delete your personal data. Since we do not store personal data, there is typically nothing to access or delete.
7. Children's Privacy
Our service is not directed to anyone under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.
8. Changes to This Policy
We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated revision date.
