The short version
- No accounts and no social widgets.
- The site is free because it shows ads from Google AdSense. Google may use cookies to choose and measure those ads, and you can turn off personalized ads at any time. See Advertising.
- We use Google Analytics to count visits and see which tools get used. It never receives what you type into the tools, and you can turn it off for your browser. See Analytics.
- Our own pages set no cookies. Our network provider sets one security cookie, explained below.
- Dates and numbers are calculated in your browser and never leave your device.
- Letters, addresses and coordinates go to our server only to answer your question, and are never written to logs or saved to disk.
- If you email us, your address and message are used only to read and answer your feedback.
What each tool does with your input
Date calculator and numbers to words
These run entirely in your browser. What you enter is not sent to our server or anyone else.
Word unscrambler
When you search, your letters and search options are sent over HTTPS to our server, matched against the word list held in memory, and the answer is sent back. The letters are not stored or logged.
Address to coordinates
When you search, our server forwards your address to the U.S. Census Bureau Geocoder, or forwards your coordinates to Photon, run by komoot. These providers receive the query from our server, not from your browser, so they do not see your IP address.
To avoid repeating identical lookups, our server keeps up to 100 recent results in memory and reuses them for up to 24 hours. They are never written to disk or logs, and are cleared when they are replaced or when the server restarts.
If a result shows a map, your browser loads it directly from OpenStreetMap, which receives the map location and your IP address under the OpenStreetMap Foundation privacy policy. Your device location is never requested.
Please do not search for private or sensitive locations.
Advertising
Everyday Tools shows ads served by Google AdSense. To show ads, limit how often you see the same one, measure them and prevent fraud, Google and its partners may use cookies and similar technologies, along with information such as your IP address and the page you are viewing.
- 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 visit to this site and other sites on the internet.
- You can opt out of personalized advertising in Google Ads Settings. You can also opt out of some other companies' use of cookies for personalized advertising at aboutads.info.
- Ads from other ad networks may be shown through Google. Those networks may also use cookies, and many of them can be opted out of at aboutads.info.
- If you visit from the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom or Switzerland, you are asked for your choice through Google's consent message before personalized ads are shown.
We do not receive your name, email or browsing history from these cookies. AdSense gives us totals only, such as how many ads were shown and what they earned. We do not share what you type into the tools with Google or any advertiser. For more, see how Google uses information from sites that use its services.
Analytics
Everyday Tools uses Google Analytics to understand how the site is used: how many people visit, which pages and tools they use, roughly where visitors are (city level, from IP address), what kind of device and browser they use, and which site sent them here. This helps us decide which tools to improve.
- Google Analytics sets cookies named
_gaand_ga_followed by an ID, which give your browser a random identifier so that repeat visits can be counted. They last up to two years and contain no name or email. - What you type into the tools is not sent to Google Analytics. Its site search and form tracking features are turned off for this site. It records page views, scrolling, clicks on outside links and file downloads.
- Google processes this data on our behalf under its privacy policy and we see only aggregated reports, never individual visitors.
- To turn analytics off in your browser, open any page on this site with
?analytics=offadded to the address, for exampledaytoolkit.com/?analytics=off. Your choice is stored in your own browser only, and?analytics=onturns it back on. Google also offers a browser add on that blocks Google Analytics on every site.
Cookies
Everyday Tools itself does not set cookies and does not use browser storage to track you. The only thing the site stores in your browser is your analytics opt out choice, if you make one. Google's advertising cookies are described under Advertising and its analytics cookies under Analytics. Our site is also protected by Cloudflare, which may set one cookie named __cf_bm to tell people apart from automated bots. It expires after 30 minutes of inactivity, is created separately for each website, and is not used for advertising. See Cloudflare's cookie documentation.
Technical logs
Our application does not log what you type. Like any website, our hosting and network providers may record standard request data, such as IP address, browser type, page requested and time, to keep the service secure and running. We do not use it for advertising or to build profiles.
Scripts and fonts
Our own scripts, stylesheets and fonts are served from this site or built into your device. The outside scripts are Google's AdSense code, which loads the ads, and Google Analytics, which counts visits. A Content Security Policy tells your browser to run only the scripts this site approves on each page load, plus the files those scripts load.
Feedback and email
The feedback page does not send anything by itself. It opens your own email app with your message filled in, and nothing is sent until you press Send there. When you email us, we receive your email address and message. We use them only to read and reply to your feedback, we do not add you to a mailing list, and we do not share them.
Contact
Everyday Tools (daytoolkit.com) is a small independent website. For questions about this policy or about anything you sent us, email feedback@daytoolkit.com.
