At Aback Tools, we respect your privacy and are committed to protecting your personal information. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and what rights you have in relation to it.

Newsletter: If you subscribe to our optional newsletter, we collect your email address. This is stored securely in a Cloudflare D1 database and used only to send occasional updates about new tools and features. You can request deletion of your email at any time by contacting us.

Important: All of our tools process data entirely within your browser. No user input data - including files, code, text, or images - is ever uploaded to or stored on our servers. Your data never leaves your device.

We use the information we collect for the following purposes:

We use cookies and similar tracking technologies to enhance your experience on our website. When you first visit the site, a cookie consent banner allows you to accept or decline non-essential cookies. Your choice is stored in your browser's local storage and respected on subsequent visits. You can change your preference at any time by clicking "Cookie Settings" in the footer.

The types of cookies we use include:

• Essential Cookies - Required for basic website functionality, such as remembering your cookie consent preference and theme settings. These are always active.
• Analytics Cookies - Used through Google Analytics to understand how visitors interact with our website, including page views, session duration, and traffic sources. These cookies are only set after you consent to analytics. This data is aggregated and anonymized.
• Advertising Cookies - Used by our ad management partner, Mediavine, to serve relevant advertisements. Mediavine and its advertising partners use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this website or other websites on the Internet. These cookies are only set after you consent to advertising.

We implement Google Consent Mode v2, which sends cookieless pings to Google when consent is denied, allowing basic analytics modeling without placing cookies. When consent is granted, full cookie-based tracking activates. For users in the European Economic Area, United Kingdom, and Switzerland, all non-essential cookies are blocked by default until you provide explicit consent.

You can manage your cookie preferences through your browser settings or by clicking "Cookie Settings" in the site footer. Most browsers allow you to block or delete cookies. However, blocking essential cookies may affect your ability to use certain features of our website.

We use the following third-party services on our website:

Mediavine and its advertising partners use cookies and similar technologies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this website or other websites on the Internet. You can manage your advertising preferences at any time through the consent preferences link in the site footer. You can learn more about how Mediavine uses data and about its advertising partners at Mediavine's Privacy Policy Mediavine's Ad Partners.

Google Analytics: We use Google Analytics to collect and analyze website traffic data. Google Analytics uses cookies to track user interactions. The data collected is aggregated and does not personally identify individual users. You can learn more about how Google uses data at Google's Privacy & Terms.

Aback Tools participates in affiliate marketing programs. Some pages on our website contain affiliate links to third-party products and services. If you click on an affiliate link and make a purchase, we may receive a commission at no extra cost to you. Affiliate links are clearly labeled. Our affiliate relationships do not affect the results of our tools or the content we produce. We only partner with services that we believe provide value to our users.

We retain minimal data. Analytics data collected through Google Analytics is retained for a period of 26 months. Cookie consent preferences are stored in your browser's local storage and persist until you clear your browser data. Newsletter email addresses are retained until you request deletion. We do not store any user input data on our servers, as all tool processing occurs entirely within your browser.
