1. Introduction
This Privacy Policy explains how Googie Tools (“we”, “us”, or “our”) collects, uses, and shares information when you visit https://googietools.com (the “Site”).
2. Information we collect
We may collect information you voluntarily provide (such as when you email us), and technical data that browsers typically send automatically, such as IP address, browser type, device type, referring pages, and pages visited.
When you use the QR code generator, content you enter (such as a URL, text, or Wi‑Fi details) is processed in your browser to create the code. We do not upload that content to our servers for generation. We will update this policy if that ever changes.
3. Cookies and similar technologies
Cookies are small text files stored on your device. We may use:
- Essential cookies — needed for basic site functions (for example, remembering your cookie preference).
- Analytics cookies — help us understand how the Site is used (if enabled).
- Advertising cookies — used by partners such as Google to serve and measure ads (if AdSense is enabled).
4. Google AdSense and advertising
We may display ads served by Google AdSense or similar partners. Google and its partners may use cookies (including the DoubleClick cookie) and similar technologies to show ads based on your visits to this Site and/or other sites on the internet.
You can opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings. You can also visit www.aboutads.info for more choices. Learn more in Google’s advertising policy.
If you are in the EEA, UK, or Switzerland, we will seek appropriate consent before using non-essential advertising cookies where required by law.
5. How we use information
We use information to operate and improve the Site, respond to messages, understand usage trends, prevent abuse, and (if enabled) show relevant advertising.
6. Third-party services
We may use trusted third-party services (for example hosting, analytics, or advertising). Those providers process data under their own privacy policies. Examples may include our hosting provider and Google (for AdSense and related services).
7. Data retention & security
We keep information only as long as needed for the purposes described above, and take reasonable steps to protect it. No method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure.
8. Your choices and rights
Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or restrict certain personal information, or to object to certain processing. Contact us using the email below to make a request. You can also control cookies through your browser and the consent banner on this Site (when shown).
