Privacy Policy

Last updated: May 2025

Overview

FWD Tools ("we", "our", "the site") is a collection of free, browser-based tools for developers and freelancers available at fwdtools.com. We are committed to protecting your privacy. This policy explains what data we collect, how we use it, and what your rights are.

Data We Do Not Collect

All tools on FWD Tools run entirely in your browser. Your data — including code, JSON, CSS, images, documents, financial figures, passwords, and any other input — is never sent to our servers. We have no access to anything you type or paste into any tool.

  • No account or sign-up is required
  • No user data is stored on our servers
  • No cookies are used for tracking or advertising personalisation
  • No form submissions are collected

Local Storage & IndexedDB

Some tools (such as the Daily Focus Log, Mini Kanban, and Freelance Dashboard) store data locally in your browser using IndexedDB or localStorage. This data stays on your device only and is never transmitted to us. You can clear it at any time by clearing your browser's site data for fwdtools.com.

Analytics

We use Google Analytics 4 to collect anonymous, aggregated usage data — such as page views, session duration, and general geographic region. This data helps us understand which tools are most used and improve the site. Google Analytics does not identify individual users. You can opt out using the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.

Advertising

FWD Tools displays ads via Google AdSense. Google may use cookies to show ads based on your prior visits to this and other websites. You can opt out of personalised advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings.

Third-Party Services

We use the following third-party services which have their own privacy policies:

  • Google Analytics — anonymous traffic analytics
  • Google AdSense — display advertising
  • Google Fonts — font delivery (IP address may be logged by Google)

Children's Privacy

FWD Tools is not directed at children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect any personal information from children.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes will be reflected by the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. Continued use of the site after changes constitutes your acceptance of the updated policy.
