Privacy Policy for GameCraftZone Tools

Last Updated: October 26, 2023

This Privacy Policy describes how GameCraftZone Tools ("we," "us," or "our") collects, uses, and shares your information when you use our website https://gamecraftzone.site/ and the various tools it offers.

We are deeply committed to protecting your privacy. The fundamental principle of our data handling is: Your data is yours. For the vast majority of our tools, your data never leaves your browser and is never stored by us.

By using our website, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy.

1. Information We Do NOT Collect (Client-Side Processing)

This is the most important section of our policy. For tools that process text, code, or files (e.g., converters, encoders, generators, image tools), the processing happens entirely within your own web browser (client-side).

• We do not upload your data. The input you provide for these tools is not sent to our servers. It exists only temporarily in your computer's memory to perform the requested operation and is gone as soon as you refresh or close the page.
• We do not store your data. Since the data never reaches our servers, we have no ability to store, view, or share it. This ensures maximum privacy for your sensitive information.

2. Information We Collect (Minimal & Anonymous)

For the normal operation and maintenance of our website, we collect minimal, non-personally identifiable information.

A. Log Data

Like most site operators, we collect information that your browser sends whenever you visit our site ("Log Data"). This Log Data may include:

• Your computer's Internet Protocol (IP) address (anonymized)
• Browser type and version
• The pages of our site that you visit
• The time and date of your visit
• The time spent on those pages
• Other anonymous statistics.

This data cannot be used to identify you personally. It is used for analyzing trends, administering the site, and gathering broad demographic information.

B. Tools That Require Server-Side Processing

A small subset of our tools require sending a request to our server to fetch external data. This includes:

• Website Status Checker
• Ping Tool
• SSL Checker
• Redirect Checker
• DNS Lookup
• IP Information Tool

For these tools, the URL or IP address you enter is sent to our server to perform the check. We do not log or store these requests long-term. The data is processed in real-time to generate a result and is then discarded.

C. Cookies and Local Storage

• Cookies: We use a minimal set of cookies for essential functions, such as remembering your preference for dark/light mode or for analytics (via Google Analytics, which collects anonymous data).
• Local Storage: Some tools may use your browser's local storage to save your preferences (e.g., default settings for a converter) directly on your device. This data is not sent to us.

3. How We Use Your Information

We use the minimal information we collect for:

• Providing and Maintaining Service: To operate our website and provide you with access to our tools.
• Improving Our Website: To analyze how visitors interact with our site (which tools are popular, etc.) to improve user experience and performance.
• Communication: To respond to your comments or questions if you contact us via email.

4. Third-Party Services

We use a few trusted third-party services that have their own privacy policies governing how they use information.

• Google Analytics: We use Google Analytics to collect anonymous data about website traffic. Google Analytics uses cookies to help analyze how users use the site. You can opt-out of Google Analytics using their browser add-on.
• Advertising: We may use third-party advertising companies (like Google AdSense) to serve ads. These companies may use anonymized data about your visits to this and other websites to provide advertisements about goods and services of interest to you.

5. Children's Privacy

Our service does not address anyone under the age of 13 ("Children"). We do not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from anyone under the age of 13. If you are a parent or guardian and you are aware that your Child has provided us with personal data, please contact us. If we become aware that we have collected personal data from children without verification of parental consent, we take steps to remove that information from our servers.

6. Data Security

The security of your data is important to us. We implement industry-standard security measures to protect the limited information we collect. However, remember that no method of transmission over the Internet or method of electronic storage is 100% secure. While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.

7. Your Data Protection Rights

Depending on your location, you may have the following rights regarding your data:

• The right to access – You have the right to request copies of your personal data.
• The right to rectification – You have the right to request that we correct any information you believe is inaccurate.
• The right to erasure – You have the right to request that we erase the minimal personal data we hold about you.
• The right to object to processing – You have the right to object to our processing of your personal data.

To exercise any of these rights, please contact us using the details below.

8. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page and updating the "Last Updated" date. You are advised to review this Privacy Policy periodically for any changes.
