Privacy Policy

1. Overview

Garypedia ("we", "us", "our") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect when you use our website and tools, how we use it, and your rights regarding that information. By using Garypedia you agree to the practices described in this policy.

2. Information We Collect

2.1 Information you provide. Garypedia does not require account creation or login. No personally identifiable information is required to use any tool. Any input you enter into a tool (e.g. text, numbers, code) is processed entirely in your browser and is not transmitted to our servers.

2.2 Usage data. We may collect anonymised, aggregated usage data such as pages visited, tool usage frequency, and general geographic region (country-level). This data cannot identify you personally and is used solely to improve the Site.

2.3 Cookies & local storage. We use cookies and browser storage for analytics and to remember your preferences (e.g. last-used tool settings). See our Cookie Policy for full details.

3. How We Use Your Information

• To operate, maintain, and improve the tools and the Site.
• To understand which tools are most used and prioritise new features.
• To detect and prevent abuse, fraud, or technical issues.
• To serve contextually relevant advertisements via third-party ad networks (see Section 5).

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties for marketing purposes.

4. Analytics

We may use privacy-respecting analytics tools (such as Google Analytics or similar) to understand how visitors interact with the Site. These services may set their own cookies. We configure analytics to anonymise IP addresses where possible and do not enable demographic or interest reporting. You can opt out of Google Analytics by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.

5. Advertising

Garypedia may display ads served by third-party advertising networks (e.g. Google AdSense). These networks may use cookies, device identifiers, and similar technologies to serve ads relevant to your interests based on your browsing activity across sites. We do not share personally identifiable information with advertisers. You can manage your ad personalisation preferences via Google Ad Settings or opt out at aboutads.info.

6. Data Retention

Since we do not collect personal data through tool usage, there is no user data to retain or delete. Anonymised analytics data is retained for up to 26 months before automatic deletion. Log files generated for security and abuse-prevention purposes are retained for up to 90 days.

7. Data Security

We implement reasonable technical measures to protect the Site and any data we hold. All pages are served over HTTPS. However, no method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

8. Children's Privacy

Garypedia is not directed at children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided personal information to us, please contact us and we will delete it promptly.

9. Your Rights

Depending on your location, you may have rights under laws such as the GDPR (EU), UK GDPR, or CCPA (California) including the right to access, correct, or delete data we hold about you. Since we do not collect personal data through normal tool use, most requests will result in confirmation that no data is held. To make a request, contact us using the details below.

10. Third-Party Links

Our Site may contain links to third-party websites. This Privacy Policy does not apply to those sites. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any third-party sites you visit.

11. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated date. Your continued use of the Site after changes are posted constitutes your acceptance of the revised policy.

12. Contact

If you have any questions or concerns about this Privacy Policy or how we handle data, please contact us through the contact information available on the Site.
