Privacy Policy

Last Updated: July 10, 2026

Welcome to 3sec, operated at https://toolboxhub.info ("we", "us", "our"). This Privacy Policy explains how we handle information when you use our website.

Our Core Principle

Most text, image, PDF, and calculator tools run in your browser. A small set of tools needs live public data from third-party services; those pages state what is sent and name the service.

1. Information We Collect

1.1 Tool Usage Data

We do not receive or store input from local-processing tools. Weather, exchange-rate, IP, OG preview, AI crawler check, and YouTube thumbnail tools send the city, coordinates, IP, URL, domain, or video ID needed for the requested lookup to the third party named on the tool page.

1.2 Automatically Collected Technical Data

When you visit our website, we may collect:

• IP address (anonymized)
• Browser type and version
• Pages visited and time spent
• Referring website
• Device type (mobile/desktop)

This helps us improve site performance and tool design.

1.3 Cookies and Local Storage

We store small amounts of data on your device to improve your experience:

• Functional: dark-mode preference, frequently-used timezone cities
• Analytics: Google Analytics 4 (GA4) for usage statistics — IP anonymized
• Advertising (planned): Google AdSense for displaying ads

You can clear this data at any time via your browser settings.

2. Third-Party Services

2.1 Google AdSense

We are applying for Google AdSense. Once approved, Google may use cookies (the DART cookie) to serve ads based on your prior visits.

• Opt out at Google Ads Settings
• See Google's ads privacy

2.2 Google Fonts

We use Google Fonts (Inter, Noto Sans TC). When fonts load, Google may receive your IP address. See Google's Privacy Policy.

2.3 Google Search Console

We use Search Console to monitor our site's performance on Google Search. This service does not directly track individual users.

2.4 Public Data Services Used by Tools

Some tools use OpenStreetMap Nominatim, Open-Meteo, open.er-api.com, ipapi.co, api.allorigins.win, or YouTube image servers. Each affected tool page describes the data sent. Those providers process IP addresses and request data under their own privacy policies.

3. Children's Privacy

Our service is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided personal data, please contact us so we can delete it.

4. Data Security

Input for local tools stays on your device. Network tools send only the information needed for the public-data request. We use HTTPS (SSL) encryption for site traffic.

5. Your Rights

Under GDPR (EU), CCPA (California), Taiwan Personal Data Protection Act, and similar laws:

• Right to know what data we hold (answer: almost none)
• Right to deletion
• Right to opt out of ad tracking (see 2.1)

6. Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy. Changes will be reflected on this page with an updated "Last Updated" date. Material changes will be announced on the homepage.
