Privacy Policy

ComUtil.com ('we', 'us', or 'our') operates the ComUtil.com website. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect information when you use our developer tools and services.

By using ComUtil.com, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy.

Automatically Collected Information

When you visit our website, we may automatically collect certain information about your device and usage:

• IP address (for network-related tools like IP lookup)
• Browser type and version
• Pages visited and time spent
• Referring website

User-Provided Data

Most tools on ComUtil process data entirely in your browser. Data you enter into tools like Base64 encoder, JSON formatter, or Hash generator is NOT transmitted to our servers - it stays on your device.

For tools that require server-side processing (IP lookup, Domain WHOIS), the query data is processed temporarily and not stored beyond the immediate request-response cycle.

We use cookies and browser local storage for the following purposes:

• Theme preference: To remember your light/dark mode choice
• Language preference: To remember your language selection
• Tool state: To preserve your input when you return to a tool (stored locally, not on our servers)
• Analytics: To understand how visitors use our site (via Google Analytics)
• Advertising: To display relevant ads (via Google AdSense)

We use the following third-party services:

Google Analytics

We use Google Analytics to analyze website traffic. Google Analytics collects data about your device, browser, and how you interact with our site. This data helps us improve our services. You can opt out by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.

Google AdSense

We display advertisements through Google AdSense. Google may use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this or other websites. You can opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings.

We implement appropriate security measures to protect your information:

• All connections use HTTPS encryption
• Client-side processing minimizes data transmission
• No storage of sensitive user input data
• Regular security reviews and updates

ComUtil.com is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe we have collected such information, please contact us immediately.

Depending on your location, you may have the following rights:
