Introduction
Gizmoop ("we", "our", "us") operates the website at gizmoop.com. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and the rights you have over your data.
The short version: our tools run entirely in your browser. We never see, store, or upload the text, images, or files you process. Read on for the details.
Information we collect
We collect the minimum information necessary to run the website and improve it over time.
- Tool data: None. Text you type, files you upload, and stats you generate stay on your device.
- Analytics: Aggregated, anonymous usage data, like which pages are visited, broad geographic region, browser type, via a privacy-respecting analytics provider.
- Contact form: If you email us or use the contact form, we receive your name, email and message.
- Newsletter: If you subscribe, we store your email until you unsubscribe.
How we use information
We use the limited data we collect to:
- Operate and maintain Gizmoop
- Understand which tools are most useful and which need improvement
- Reply to your messages and support requests
- Send the newsletter (only if you opted in)
We do not sell, rent, or trade your data with third parties.
Cookies and tracking
Gizmoop uses a small number of cookies and local-storage entries:
- Essential: Remember your tool preferences and auto-saved drafts.
- Analytics: Anonymous, aggregated usage stats.
- Advertising: If you see ads, they may set cookies per the provider's policy. See our Cookie Policy for details and opt-out options.
Third-party services
We use a small set of third-party services. Each has its own privacy policy:
- Google AdSense, ad serving
- Plausible Analytics, privacy-respecting analytics
- Cloudflare, hosting and DDoS protection
Data security
We use industry-standard security practices: HTTPS everywhere, encrypted data at rest for any data we do store (newsletter subscribers, contact-form messages), and regular security reviews. Because our tools run in your browser, the safest place for your data is the place it already is, your device.
Children's privacy (COPPA)
Gizmoop is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us with personal data, contact us and we will delete it.

If you are in the European Economic Area, you have rights under the GDPR including access, rectification, deletion, restriction, portability and objection. To exercise these rights, email privacy@gizmoop.com.
CCPA compliance
California residents have additional rights under the CCPA, including the right to know what personal information is collected and the right to deletion. To exercise these rights, email privacy@gizmoop.com.
Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The "Last updated" date at the top of the page reflects the most recent change. Material changes will be announced via the website and (if you are subscribed) the newsletter.
