Our Privacy Promise: How We Protect Your Information

Last updated: October 5, 2025

Welcome to HNGTools! We believe your privacy matters, and we're committed to being transparent about how we handle your information. This privacy policy explains in simple terms what we collect, why we collect it, and how we protect it when you use our free online tools.

What Information We Collect and Why

We gather certain information to make our tools work better, show relevant ads through Google AdSense, and improve your overall experience. Here's a breakdown of what we collect:

Information That Comes Automatically

• Basic usage data: Like most websites, we automatically receive information your browser sends, including your IP address, browser type, which pages you visit, when you visit, and where you came from
• Cookies and similar tech: We use cookies and similar technologies to remember your preferences, understand how people use our site, and support the advertising that keeps our tools free
• How you interact with our tools: We look at how people use our calculators, converters, and generators to make them more helpful

Personal Information

The good news is you don't need to create an account or provide personal details to use our tools. We intentionally keep personal data collection to a minimum and carefully protect any information you might voluntarily share through contact forms or feedback.

How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect for specific, sensible purposes:

• Keeping our website and free tools running smoothly and making them better over time
• Understanding how people use our site so we can improve the experience
• Showing relevant ads through Google AdSense to support our free tool access
• Responding to your questions and providing support when needed
• Spotting and fixing technical issues or potential problems
• Meeting legal requirements and protecting our rights

Working With Third Parties

We partner with trusted services to help run our website effectively:

Google AdSense

We use Google AdSense to display advertisements. Google uses cookies to show you ads based on your previous visits to our site and other websites you've visited.

If you prefer not to see personalized ads, you can visit Google Ads Settings or the About Ads opt-out page to adjust your preferences.

Google Analytics

We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors interact with our website. This helps us make our tools more useful while respecting your privacy.

Understanding Cookies

Cookies are small text files stored on your device. We use them for practical purposes like:

• Understanding how people use our site through analytics
• Supporting the advertising that funds our free tools
• Remembering your preferences and settings
• Keeping our website secure and functioning properly

Managing Your Cookie Preferences

You have control over your cookie settings:

• Most browsers accept cookies automatically, but you can change your settings to decline them
• You can delete existing cookies through your browser settings anytime
• For detailed information about cookies and how to manage them, visit All About Cookies

Just a heads-up - if you disable cookies, some website features might not work as expected.

Your Privacy Rights

Depending on where you live, you may have specific rights under privacy laws like GDPR:

• Access: You can ask for a copy of your personal data
• Correction: You can request we fix any inaccurate information
• Deletion: You can ask us to delete your personal data in certain situations
• Limiting use: You can request we limit how we process your data
• Objection: You can object to our processing of your personal data
• Data portability: You can request we transfer your data to another service

If you'd like to exercise any of these rights, please reach out using the contact information below.

How We Protect Your Information

We take reasonable steps to protect your information from unauthorized access, alteration, or destruction. That said, no internet transmission is 100% secure, so we can't guarantee absolute security.

Updates and How to Reach Us

We may update this privacy policy from time to time. When we do, we'll post the new version here and update the "Last Updated" date. We encourage you to check back occasionally to stay informed.
