Privacy Policy
Last updated:
1. Overview
Email Tools Lab ("we," "our," "us," or "the Site") provides 300+ free online tools for PDFs, images, text, email deliverability, SEO, and calculators. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect when you use the Site, how we use it, and the choices available to you. By using Email Tools Lab, you agree to the practices described here.
2. Information We Collect
Most tools on this Site can be used without creating an account or providing personal information. We may collect:
Automatically collected data
- IP address, browser type, device type, and operating system
- Pages visited, tools used, and time spent on the Site (via analytics)
- Referring website and general geographic location (city/country level)
Information you provide directly
- Files, text, or images you upload into a specific tool
- Your name, email address, or message if you contact us via the Contact page
3. Data You Submit to Tools
Many of our tools (PDF converters, image compressors, email validators, generators, etc.) process content you upload or paste in. This content is used only to generate the output you requested.
We do not review, sell, or share the content of files you process through our tools. Uploaded files are processed to produce your result and are automatically deleted from our servers after a short period — typically within 24 hours, and often immediately after your download completes.
4. Cookies & Local Storage
We use a limited amount of cookies and browser local storage to:
- Remember your theme preference (dark/light mode)
- Understand aggregate usage of tools so we can improve the Site
- Support basic site functionality (e.g., form inputs, session state)
You can disable cookies in your browser settings; most tools will still function, though preferences like theme selection won't be remembered.
5. No Pop-ups, No Trackers Disguised as Redirects
Email Tools Lab does not use pop-up windows, pop-under windows, or automatic redirects to move you off the Site or into tracking chains. Any link you click takes you either to another page within Email Tools Lab or to the specific external resource you intentionally selected — nothing more.
If you ever encounter a pop-up or redirect that did not come from a link you clicked, it did not originate from Email Tools Lab — it's most likely a browser extension, ad injection, or malware on your device. Please contact us so we can look into it.
6. How We Use Information
| Purpose | Data Used |
|---|---|
| Operate and deliver tool functionality | Files/text you submit to a tool |
| Improve site performance and tool selection | Aggregated usage/analytics data |
| Respond to support requests | Name, email, message content |
| Detect abuse, fraud, or security issues | IP address, request patterns |
We do not sell your personal information to third parties.
7. Third-Party Services
Some tools query external services to function — for example, DNS lookups, blacklist checks, or SSL certificate validation. When you use these tools, the specific data required (e.g., a domain name or IP you entered) is sent to that third-party service to return a result. We encourage you to review the privacy practices of any third-party service a tool interacts with.
We may also use standard analytics providers to understand aggregate site traffic. These providers may set their own cookies subject to their own privacy policies.
8. Data Retention
- Uploaded files/content: deleted automatically, typically within 24 hours or immediately after processing
- Contact form messages: retained only as long as needed to resolve your inquiry
- Analytics data: retained in aggregated, non-identifying form for site improvement
9. Your Choices & Rights
Depending on your location, you may have the right to:
- Request access to personal data we hold about you
- Request correction or deletion of your personal data
- Object to or restrict certain processing of your data
- Withdraw consent where processing is based on consent
To exercise any of these rights, reach out via our Contact page.
10. Children's Privacy
Email Tools Lab is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us so we can remove it.
11. Security
We use reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect data processed through the Site. However, no method of transmission or storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
12. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes take effect immediately upon posting to this page, and the "Last updated" date above will reflect the most recent revision. Continued use of the Site after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
