Introduction

MZift WebTools ("we", "us", "our") operates the website webtools.mzift.com (the "Service"). This page informs you of our policies regarding the collection, use, and disclosure of personal information when you use our Service. By using the Service, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy.

Information We Collect

We aim to collect as little personal information as possible. Here is what we may collect:

Automatically Collected Data: When you visit our website, our servers and third-party services may automatically collect certain information including your IP address, browser type, operating system, referring URLs, pages visited, time spent on pages, and device information. This data is collected through server logs, cookies, and analytics tools.

Tool Input Data: Most of our tools process data entirely in your browser (client-side) or process it on the server per request without storing it. Data you enter into tools such as text, URLs, IP addresses, or other inputs is processed only to provide the tool's functionality and is not saved, logged, or stored on our servers after the request is completed.

Cookies: We use cookies and similar tracking technologies to track activity on our Service and hold certain information. You can instruct your browser to refuse all cookies or to indicate when a cookie is being sent.

How We Use Your Information

We use the collected information for the following purposes: to provide and maintain our Service, to monitor the usage of our Service, to detect and address technical issues, to improve our tools and user experience, and to serve relevant advertisements through Google AdSense.

Third-Party Services

We use the following third-party services that may collect information about you:

Google AdSense: We use Google AdSense to display advertisements. Google may use cookies and web beacons to serve ads based on your prior visits to our website and other websites. Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads based on your visit to our site and/or other sites on the Internet. You may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings.

Google Analytics: We use Google Analytics to track and analyze website traffic. Google Analytics collects information such as how often users visit our site, what pages they visit, and what other sites they used prior to coming to our site. We use the information from Google Analytics to improve our Service. Google Analytics collects the IP address assigned to you on the date you visit our site, but does not collect your name or other identifying information. You can learn more about Google's privacy practices at Google Privacy Policy.

ip-api.com: Our IP Geolocation tool sends IP addresses to ip-api.com to retrieve geographic and network information. This is done only when you use the IP Geolocation tool. Please refer to ip-api.com's privacy policy for more information.

YouTube / Google: Our YouTube Thumbnail Downloader tool accesses publicly available thumbnail images from YouTube (img.youtube.com). No YouTube user data is collected by us.

Tailwind CSS CDN: We load the Tailwind CSS framework from a third-party CDN for styling. This may log your IP address in their server logs.

Our Service uses the following types of cookies:

Essential Cookies: Used to store your theme preference (dark/light mode). These are first-party cookies stored in your browser's localStorage.

Analytics Cookies: Set by Google Analytics to measure traffic and usage patterns. These are third-party cookies.

Advertising Cookies: Set by Google AdSense and its partners to serve relevant advertisements. These are third-party cookies. You can manage your ad personalization preferences at Google Ad Settings.

Data Retention

We do not store personal data from tool usage. Server logs that may contain IP addresses are automatically purged based on our hosting provider's retention policy. Analytics data is retained as configured in our Google Analytics account (default: 14 months).

Data Security

We use HTTPS encryption for all connections to our website. While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your personal information, no method of transmission over the Internet or method of electronic storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee its absolute security.
