Privacy Policy

This policy explains how Tools Vault handles limited visitor data for a public tools directory. Last updated: 26 March 2026.

1. Overview

Tools Vault is a public directory of third-party tools. We aim to keep personal data collection minimal and explain clearly what happens when you use this site.

2. Data we collect

You can browse this site without creating an account or submitting personal information.

Basic technical data may still be processed automatically in server logs, including IP address, browser type, device information, user agent, requested pages, and error details. This is necessary for operating, securing, and maintaining the site.

We use privacy-friendly analytics and performance monitoring provided by Vercel (including Vercel Analytics and Vercel Speed Insights) to understand general usage of the site and how it performs. This may include aggregated data such as page views, load times, device types, and general location (for example, country-level data). This data does not directly identify individual users.

3. Cookies, analytics, and browser storage

We use privacy-focused tools provided by Vercel to measure site usage and performance. This includes aggregated metrics such as page views, performance timings, browser type, and device category.

Vercel Analytics and Vercel Speed Insights do not use tracking cookies and do not track you across other websites. These tools are designed to be lightweight and privacy-friendly.

The site may use browser local storage on your device for interface features such as saved tools, recently viewed tools, and display preferences. This data remains on your device and can be cleared at any time through your browser settings.

4. How we use data

Any limited technical data is used only to:

  • deliver the site and its content;
  • maintain performance and reliability;
  • monitor and improve site speed and user experience;
  • protect against abuse or security threats;
  • diagnose errors and improve stability;
  • understand general usage trends to improve the site experience;
  • comply with legal obligations where required.

5. External links and third parties

This site contains links to third-party tools and services. When you leave this site, those third parties operate under their own terms and privacy policies.

We do not control or take responsibility for the content, availability, security, or data practices of third-party websites.

6. Data storage and processing

Tool data displayed on this site is stored and managed using Supabase, a backend database service. This data consists of publicly available information about tools (such as name, description, category, and tags) and does not include personal user data.

Supabase processes this data as part of delivering the service. No user accounts or personal profiles are stored.

7. Data retention

Server logs and limited analytics/performance data are retained only for as long as necessary for operational, security, and performance purposes, and are not used to identify individual users.

8. Your rights

Depending on your location (including the UK and EU), you may have rights under data protection laws, including the right to request access to or deletion of any personal data where applicable.

As this site does not maintain user accounts or directly collect personal data, most requests may not apply. However, you can still contact us with any concerns.

9. International access

This site is accessible worldwide. Hosting and infrastructure providers, including Vercel and Supabase, may process limited technical data in different countries as part of delivering the service.

10. Changes to this policy

This policy may be updated from time to time to reflect changes in the site or legal requirements. Continued use of the site indicates acceptance of the updated policy.
