1. Information We Collect
We collect minimal information necessary to operate the website:
**Tool Inputs (Not Collected):** Any text, IP addresses, JWT tokens, files, or other data you enter into our tools is processed entirely within your browser using JavaScript. This data is never transmitted to any TechSimpleHub server. We have no backend server capable of receiving this information.
**Usage Analytics:** We use Cloudflare Web Analytics, a privacy-first analytics platform that does not use cookies, does not fingerprint users, and does not track individual visitors across sessions. We receive aggregate statistics such as page views and country-level geographic distribution.
**Advertising (Google AdSense):** We display advertisements through Google AdSense. Google may collect information about your visits to our site and other sites to provide personalized advertising. Google's data practices are governed by the Google Privacy Policy (policies.google.com/privacy).
2. How We Use Information
We use the limited information we collect solely to:
- Understand aggregate traffic patterns and improve the website
- Display relevant advertisements to support the free operation of this service
- Diagnose errors via Cloudflare's edge infrastructure logs (retained for 72 hours maximum)
We do not sell, rent, or share any data with third parties beyond what is necessary for the advertising and CDN services described above.
3. Cookies
TechSimpleHub itself does not set any first-party cookies for its core functionality. Our tools operate with zero cookies.
**Third-Party Cookies:** Google AdSense may set third-party cookies (e.g., `NID`, `DSID`, `IDE`) for the purpose of serving personalized advertisements based on your browsing history across the web. You can opt out of personalized advertising at: https://www.google.com/settings/ads.
To opt out of all interest-based advertising, you may also use the Network Advertising Initiative opt-out tool at http://optout.networkadvertising.org/.
4. Children's Privacy (COPPA)
TechSimpleHub is not directed at children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe we have inadvertently collected information from a child under 13, please contact us immediately and we will delete it.
5. Data Security
Because all tool processing occurs client-side in your browser, your input data never traverses our network infrastructure. This architectural decision is itself the primary security control. We additionally serve all content over HTTPS via Cloudflare's TLS 1.3 infrastructure to protect data in transit.
6. Third-Party Links
TechSimpleHub may contain links to third-party websites (e.g., RFC documents, official documentation). We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those sites. We encourage you to review their privacy policies before providing personal information.
7. GDPR Rights (EEA Residents)
If you are located in the European Economic Area, you have rights under the GDPR including: the right to access, rectify, or erase your data; the right to restrict or object to processing; and the right to data portability. Since we do not collect personal data through our tools, most of these rights are fulfilled by architecture. For any advertising data concerns, please contact Google directly via their Data & Privacy controls.
8. CCPA Rights (California Residents)
California residents have the right to know what personal information we collect, the right to request deletion, and the right to opt-out of sale of personal information. We do not sell personal information. For advertising preferences, please use the Google opt-out tools referenced in Section 3.
9. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. Continued use of the website after changes constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
