Privacy Policy
Last updated: May 6, 2026
Introduction
This Privacy Policy describes how Any-Tools.net ("the Service", "we", "us", or "our") collects, uses, and discloses information when you use our website at any-tools.net. The Service is operated independently from Japan; the operator can be reached at [email protected]. We respect your privacy and have designed the Service so that we have access to as little of your personal data as technically possible.
Site Operator
The Service is operated by the Any-Tools.net editorial team, an independent web project based in Japan, established in 2025. We are not a registered business entity. All site infrastructure and operational decisions are made directly by the operator. For all privacy-related questions, please contact [email protected].
Information We Collect
All tools on this site run entirely in your browser. We do not upload, store, or process the files, text, or other data you process through our tools. Your data never leaves your device. Specifically, we do not collect: files you upload to our converters, text you paste into our formatters, calculations you perform, or any output our tools produce. The only information we receive is what your browser automatically sends when you visit the site (described below under Analytics) and any messages you send us via email.
Analytics
We use Google Analytics (Google LLC, USA) to understand how visitors use the site. Google Analytics collects standard technical information including: pages visited, referrer URL, time spent on pages, browser type and version, device type, screen resolution, approximate geographic location (country and city level), and a randomly-assigned anonymous identifier stored in a cookie. This information is aggregated and used to identify which tools are most useful, where users have trouble, and which translations need improvement. We do not link this data to any personally identifiable information. Google's privacy policy is available at https://policies.google.com/privacy.
Cookies
Cookies are small files stored on your device. We use the following types of cookies:
- Essential cookies: Required for the website to function properly (e.g., remembering your selected language). Stored for 1 year.
- Analytics cookies: Set by Google Analytics to track aggregate site usage. _ga (2 years), _gid (24 hours), _gat (1 minute).
- Advertising cookies: Set by Google AdSense to display relevant advertisements. Retention varies by Google's settings, typically 13-24 months.
- You can disable cookies in your browser settings. The Service will still function for tool usage, but analytics and advertising features may be reduced.
Advertising
We use Google AdSense to display advertisements that fund the operation of this site. Google may use cookies, web beacons, and similar technologies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this site or other sites. You can opt out of personalized advertising by visiting https://adssettings.google.com or by using browser-level ad personalization controls. Google's advertising privacy practices are described at https://policies.google.com/technologies/ads.
Third-Party Services
The Service uses the following third-party services. Each has its own privacy policy that governs how they handle data:
- Google Analytics (analytics) — https://policies.google.com/privacy
- Google AdSense (advertising) — https://policies.google.com/technologies/ads
- Cloudflare (DNS) — https://www.cloudflare.com/privacypolicy/

Your Rights
Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have the following rights regarding personal data we hold about you:
- Right to access — request a copy of any personal data we hold.
- Right to rectification — request correction of inaccurate data.
- Right to erasure — request deletion of your data.
- Right to object — object to processing of your data for specific purposes.
- Right to data portability — receive your data in a structured, machine-readable format.
- To exercise any of these rights, contact us at [email protected]. We will respond within 30 days. Note that because our tools run entirely in your browser, we typically have no personal data of yours to access, correct, or delete beyond what may have been included in past email correspondence.
GDPR Compliance (European Users)
If you are in the European Economic Area (EEA), United Kingdom, or Switzerland, the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) provides additional protections. Our legal basis for processing the limited data we receive is your consent (for analytics and advertising cookies, which you can refuse) and our legitimate interest in operating and improving the Service (for technical data your browser sends automatically). The data controller is the Any-Tools.net operator, contactable at [email protected]. You have the right to lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority.
CCPA Compliance (California Residents)
If you are a California resident, the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) provides specific rights regarding your personal information. We do not sell personal information to third parties. The data we collect is described under "Analytics" above and is shared only with the third-party services listed under "Third-Party Services". To make a CCPA request, contact us at [email protected].
Children's Privacy
The Service is not directed at children under 13 (or 16 in some jurisdictions). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact [email protected] so that we can take appropriate action.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The most current version will always be posted on this page with the updated "Last updated" date. Significant changes will be announced on the site for at least 30 days before taking effect.
