ToolDepth respects your privacy. This policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and your rights.
Information We Collect
Personal information. We do not collect personal information unless you voluntarily provide it — for example, by submitting a contact form or subscribing to our newsletter. In those cases, we only collect the information you provide (name, email address).
Analytics data. We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors use our site. This includes anonymized data such as pages visited, time on site, browser type, and referring website. Google Analytics uses cookies to collect this information. You can learn more about Google's privacy practices at policies.google.com/privacy.
Local analytics. We use a client-side analytics system that stores anonymous browsing data in your browser's localStorage. This data never leaves your browser unless you explicitly interact with our site (page views, scroll depth, outbound clicks). This data is used solely to power our trending content dashboard.
Cookies
ToolDepth uses cookies for:
- Third-party tracking. We use Google Analytics for anonymous page view statistics. Google Analytics sets cookies to distinguish unique users. You can opt out via the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on.
- Analytics. Google Analytics uses cookies to distinguish unique users and track usage patterns.
- Advertising. Google AdSense may use cookies to serve relevant ads based on your browsing history.
You can control cookie preferences through your browser settings. Disabling cookies may affect some site functionality.
No Affiliate Links
ToolDepth does not use affiliate links. We do not accept payment for reviews, rankings, or placement. Every tool is tested independently based on its merits.

Data Retention

You have the right to:
- Request access to any personal data we hold about you
