1. Overview & Our Zero-Tracking Philosophy

At ToolSphere (accessible at https://toolsphere.click), operated by Emily N. as part of Emi's Room, protecting the privacy of our visitors is one of our highest priorities. This Privacy Policy document details the types of information that are collected, recorded, or used by ToolSphere and explains our strict commitments to data sovereignty.

Core Guarantee: All 20+ utility calculators, converters, image editors, and generators hosted on ToolSphere run 100% locally inside your client browser. We do NOT collect, upload, store, transmit, or sell any calculation inputs, uploaded images, recipe selections, or personal measurements to external servers.

2. Third-Party Advertising & Google AdSense Disclosures

ToolSphere partners with Google AdSense and authorized third-party advertising networks to display unobtrusive advertisements that keep our utility tools 100% free for all users.

• Third-Party Vendor Advertising: Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on a user's prior visits to ToolSphere or other websites across the Internet.
• Google's Advertising Cookies: Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to our users based on their visit to our site and/or other sites on the Internet.
• Opting Out of Personalized Advertising: Users may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings. Alternatively, users can opt out of a third-party vendor's use of cookies for personalized advertising by visiting www.aboutads.info.

3. Log Files & Standard Server Infrastructure

Like all standard web servers, ToolSphere follows a standard procedure of using log files. These files log visitors when they visit websites. The information collected by log files includes internet protocol (IP) addresses, browser type, Internet Service Provider (ISP), date and time stamp, referring/exit pages, and possibly the number of clicks. These are not linked to any information that is personally identifiable. The purpose of the information is for analyzing trends, administering the site, tracking users' movement on the website, and gathering demographic information.

4. Local Browser Storage (LocalStorage & IndexedDB)

To enhance user experience, ToolSphere uses standard browser localStorage to store non-sensitive user preferences locally on your device:

• Your favorite / starred tools list.
• Recently used tools list.
• Calculator paper tape memory logs (so you don't lose calculation history when refreshing).

This storage remains strictly inside your browser cache and can be cleared at any time by clearing your browser cookies and site data.

5. CCPA Privacy Rights (Do Not Sell My Personal Information)

Under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), California consumers have the right to request that a business disclose the categories and specific pieces of personal data collected, request deletion of personal data, and request that personal data not be sold. ToolSphere does NOT sell personal information. To exercise any CCPA rights, please contact us at emily@emisroom.net.

6. GDPR Data Protection Rights

Every European Union user is entitled to the following rights under GDPR: The right to access, rectification, erasure, restrict processing, object to processing, and data portability. Since ToolSphere does not collect or process personal user profiles on backend servers, exercising data erasure is as simple as clearing your local browser storage.
