Privacy Policy
Your privacy is our priority. Learn how we protect your data and respect your privacy.
Last updated: December 2024
Introduction
At Randomizer Tools ("we," "our," or "us"), we are committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring the security of any information you may provide while using our website and tools. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard your information when you visit our website at randomizertools.com.
The short version: We don't collect, store, or transmit your personal data. All our tools work entirely in your browser for maximum privacy and security.
Information We DON'T Collect
Unlike many online services, we have designed our tools with privacy as the foundation. Here's what we specifically do NOT collect:
- Tool Input Data: Any passwords, names, numbers, dates, or other data you enter into our tools
- Generated Results: The random outputs, passwords, team assignments, or color palettes created by our tools
- Personal Information: Names, email addresses, phone numbers, or other identifying information
- Account Data: We don't require accounts, so we don't store usernames, passwords, or profiles
- File Uploads: Our tools don't accept file uploads, eliminating that privacy risk
- Clipboard Data: We only copy to clipboard when you explicitly click copy buttons
How Our Privacy-First Tools Work
Our tools are designed to process everything locally in your web browser:
Client-Side Processing
All randomization, generation, and calculations happen directly in your browser using JavaScript and Web APIs.
No Server Transmission
Your input data never leaves your device. It's not sent to our servers or any third-party services.
Local Storage Only
Any saved preferences (like color palettes or food lists) are stored only on your device.
Secure Cryptography
We use your browser's built-in Web Crypto API for secure random number generation.
Limited Information We May Collect
For basic website functionality and improvement, we may collect minimal, non-personal information:
Analytics Information
We use Google Analytics to understand how our website is used:
- Page views and which tools are most popular
- General geographic location (country/city level)
- Device type and browser information
- How long visitors spend on different pages
- Traffic sources (how you found our site)
Important: This analytics data is aggregated and anonymized. It doesn't include your tool inputs or generated results.
Cookies and Local Storage
We use minimal cookies and local storage for:
- Theme Preferences: Remembering if you prefer dark or light mode
- Tool Settings: Saving your preferred options (like color palette preferences)
- Analytics Cookies: Google Analytics cookies for website usage statistics
- Advertising Cookies: If you see ads, cookies may be used for ad personalization
You can disable cookies in your browser settings without affecting core tool functionality.
Third-Party Services
We use a limited number of third-party services that may collect information independently:
Google Analytics
We use Google Analytics to understand website usage patterns. Google Analytics may collect information about your visit, but this is separate from any data you enter into our tools.
Google Analytics Privacy Policy
Google AdSense (If Present)
We may display advertisements through Google AdSense. Google may use cookies to show ads based on your interests.
Google AdSense Privacy Policy
Content Delivery Networks (CDNs)
We use CDNs like Bootstrap and Font Awesome to deliver website resources efficiently. These services may log basic request information.
Your Rights and Choices
Control Over Your Data
- No Account Required: Since we don't collect personal data, there's no account to delete
- Clear Local Data: You can clear your browser's local storage to remove saved preferences
- Disable Analytics: Use browser extensions or settings to block analytics tracking
- Cookie Control: Disable cookies in your browser settings
Browser Privacy Settings
Your browser provides privacy controls that work with our site:
- Private/Incognito mode for no local storage
- Cookie blocking and tracking protection
- JavaScript control (though this will disable our tools)
Data Security
Since we don't collect your tool data, the biggest security measure is our architecture:
- HTTPS Encryption: All connections to our website are encrypted
- Client-Side Processing: Your sensitive data never travels over the internet
- No Database: We don't have databases that could be breached
- Secure Random Generation: We use cryptographically secure methods for randomization
- Regular Updates: We keep our website and dependencies updated with security patches
Children's Privacy
Our tools are appropriate for users of all ages. Since we don't collect personal information, our site is inherently compliant with children's privacy regulations like COPPA. However:
- We don't knowingly collect personal information from children under 13
- Our tools don't require personal information from users of any age
- Parents can supervise children's use without privacy concerns about data collection
- Educational use in schools is privacy-safe due to our client-side processing
International Users
Our website is accessible globally, and our privacy practices are designed to comply with international privacy laws:
- GDPR Compliance: Since we don't process personal data, GDPR requirements are minimal
- Data Localization: Your tool data stays on your device in your country
- No Cross-Border Transfers: We don't transfer personal data internationally
- Right to be Forgotten: Not applicable since we don't retain personal data
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
- Update the "Last updated" date at the top
- Maintain our core commitment to privacy-first design
- Notify users of material changes through website notices
We encourage you to review this Privacy Policy periodically to stay informed about how we protect your privacy.
