Privacy Policy

Last Updated: March 4, 2025

Introduction

At CuterCounter, we are committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we handle your information when you use our website ( cutercounter.com) and our suite of online tools. We aim to keep things simple, cute, and transparent—just like our tools!

Our services are designed to process most data locally in your browser, minimizing data collection. However, we use third-party advertising services like Google AdSense and DoubleClick to support our free tools, and this policy outlines how these partners may interact with your data.

Information We Collect

We strive to collect as little personal information as possible. Here’s what you need to know:

  • Local Processing: When you use our tools (e.g., Unit Converter, QR Code Generator), all data processing happens on your device. We do not collect or store this data on our servers.
  • Non-Personal Information: We may collect anonymized usage data (e.g., page views, tool usage frequency) to improve our services. This data does not identify you personally.
  • Advertising Data: Through third-party services like Google AdSense and DoubleClick, non-personal information such as your IP address, browser type, device information, and browsing behavior may be collected for ad personalization and analytics. See the "Third-Party Advertising" section for details.

How We Use Your Information

The limited information we collect is used to:

  • Provide and improve our tools and website functionality.
  • Analyze usage trends to enhance user experience.
  • Deliver relevant advertisements via third-party partners.

We do not sell, trade, or share your personal information with anyone, except as described in this policy or required by law.

Third-Party Advertising

To keep CuterCounter free, we partner with advertising services including:

  • Google AdSense and DoubleClick: These services may collect and use non-personal information (e.g., IP address, cookies, device identifiers) to serve personalized ads. They may also track ad performance and user interactions.

These third parties operate under their own privacy policies, and we encourage you to review them. We do not have direct access to the data they collect or control over their practices beyond integrating their services.

Cookies and Tracking Technologies

We use cookies and similar technologies via our advertising partners:

  • Essential Cookies: Minimal cookies may be used to ensure site functionality (e.g., session management).
  • Advertising Cookies: Google AdSense and DoubleClick use cookies to personalize ads and measure their effectiveness.

You can manage cookie preferences through your browser settings. Disabling cookies may limit ad personalization but won’t affect the core functionality of our tools.

Data Security

Since most data processing occurs locally in your browser, we don’t store personal information on our servers. For any anonymized data collected (e.g., via analytics or ads), we use industry-standard security measures to protect it. However, no online system is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Your Rights

As a user in the United States, you may have rights under laws like the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA):

  • Right to Know: You can request details about what data we collect (though we collect minimal personal data).
  • Right to Opt-Out: You can opt out of personalized ads via Google’s settings (linked above).
  • Right to Delete: Since we don’t store personal data, there’s nothing to delete on our end.

To exercise these rights or ask questions, please contact us at [email protected].

Children’s Privacy

CuterCounter is not intended for users under 13 years old. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child under 13 has provided us with data, please contact us immediately, and we’ll take steps to remove it.

Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this policy from time to time. Changes will be posted here with an updated “Last Updated” date. We encourage you to check back periodically to stay informed.
