Privacy Policy

Last updated: April 2026

1. Information We Collect

We collect minimal information to operate and improve the service. This includes:

• Usage data — anonymous page views and interaction events collected through Google Analytics 4. This data is aggregated and does not identify you personally.
• Contact form submissions — if you reach out via our contact form, we collect the email address and message content you provide solely to respond to your inquiry.
• Cookies and local storage — we use first-party cookies for cookie consent preferences and third-party cookies through Google AdSense for advertising purposes (only after you grant marketing consent).

We do not collect, store, or transmit the content of files, documents, or data you process with our tools. All tool processing happens locally inside your browser. Your files never leave your device.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect to:

• Operate, maintain, and improve the website and tools
• Respond to support, feedback, and tool requests submitted through our contact form
• Analyze aggregate usage patterns to understand which tools are most helpful
• Serve relevant advertisements through Google AdSense (only with your consent)

3. Cookies and Consent

We use a Consent Management Platform (CMP) to give you control over cookies. When you first visit the site, a cookie consent banner asks for your preferences. You may accept all cookies, reject non-essential cookies, or customize your choices at any time by clicking "Cookie Preferences" in the footer.

Essential cookies are required for the site to function and cannot be disabled. Analytics cookies (Google Analytics) help us understand aggregate traffic. Marketing cookies (Google AdSense) allow us to show personalized ads. We only load advertising scripts when you have granted marketing consent.

4. Third-Party Services

We work with the following third-party services that may process your data under their own privacy policies:

• Google Analytics 4 — aggregate usage analytics. Google Privacy Policy
• Google AdSense — interest-based advertising (requires marketing consent). Users may opt out via Google's Ad Settings or aboutads.info.
• GetTerms CMP — consent management platform for cookie preferences.

Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on prior visits to our website or other websites. Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to our users based on their visits to our site and other sites on the internet.

5. Data Retention and Security

We do not maintain a database of personal user information. Contact form submissions are handled by our email provider and retained only as long as needed to resolve your inquiry. Analytics data is retained in aggregate form by Google Analytics per their standard retention policy.

We implement commercially reasonable measures to protect any information that passes through our systems. However, no internet transmission is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

6. Your Rights

Depending on your location (including the EU under GDPR and California under CCPA), you may have rights including: access to personal data we hold about you, the right to correction, deletion, or restriction of processing, and the right to withdraw consent at any time. To exercise any of these rights, contact us at hello@ux-media.com.

7. Children's Privacy

Very Simple Tools is not directed at children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided personal information through our site, please contact us so we can remove it.

8. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. We encourage you to review this policy periodically to stay informed about how we protect your information.
