Privacy Policy

Effective Date: July 22, 2026
Privacy Summary: We collect minimal data for analytics and service improvement. Your tool content stays in your browser and is never uploaded to our servers. We use secure third-party services for authentication and payments.

IMPORTANT NOTICE ABOUT SERVICE CHANGES: Our Service continuously evolves, and we may modify, update, or remove tools at any time without notice. We may also change which features are available to free versus premium users, or introduce fair-use limits on free use. These changes may affect how your data is processed or what information is collected. Your continued use of the Service after any changes constitutes acceptance of the updated privacy practices.

1. Introduction

This Privacy Policy explains how The Dollar Web LLC ("we," "us," or "our") collects, uses, and protects your information when you use our website at thedollarweb.com and related services (the "Service"). This policy should be read in conjunction with our Terms of Service.

We are committed to protecting your privacy while providing affordable, high-quality web tools. This policy describes our minimal data collection practices designed to improve our Service while respecting your privacy.

2. Information We Collect

2.1 Account Information

When you create an account, we collect:

2.2 Usage Analytics and Session Data

We automatically collect analytics data to understand how our Service is used and to improve functionality. This data is stored in our Supabase database and includes:

Data Category Specific Information Collected Purpose
Session Information Session ID, start/end times, duration, entry/exit pages, total page views Understand user engagement and popular content
User Behavior Click events, scroll depth, time on page, download button usage Improve user experience and tool functionality
Technical Data User agent, viewport size, screen resolution, timezone, language Optimize display and functionality across devices
Location Data Approximate location (country, state, city, zip code) via IP geolocation Understand geographic usage patterns for service optimization
Marketing Data Referrer URL, UTM parameters (source, medium, campaign, term, content) Measure marketing effectiveness and traffic sources
Tool Usage Which tools are accessed, feature usage, download events, export formats Prioritize tool development and identify popular features

2.3 Location Data Collection

We collect approximate location information (country, state, city, and zip code) derived from your IP address when our analytics service receives events from your browser. The IP-to-location lookup happens on our analytics infrastructure; we store only the resulting approximate location, not your IP-derived position history.

This location data is used solely for analytics purposes and helps us understand our user base geographic distribution. We do not collect precise GPS coordinates or track your movements.

2.4 Data Collection Changes Due to Service Evolution

Service Evolution Impact on Data Collection: As our Service evolves, data collection may change based on:

Any significant changes to data collection practices will be reflected in this Privacy Policy with appropriate notice to users.

2.5 Information We Do NOT Collect

Important: We do NOT collect, store, or have access to:

Server-Side Tool Exception: Should any tools require server-side processing (clearly identified on individual tool pages), necessary data may be temporarily transmitted to our servers for processing but is not stored or retained after processing completion.

2.6 Optional Premium Cloud Backup

Some tools offer Premium members an optional cloud backup that syncs that tool's saved work to your account so you can continue on another device. Backup is off by default and only activates after you explicitly turn it on and confirm a consent dialog that describes exactly what will be stored. When enabled, we store that tool's saved work in our database, linked to your account. Depending on the tool, this can include text you typed into the tool (for example, notes in the Online Notepad, budget entries in the Budget Planner, or resume content in the Resume Builder) and, for a few design tools, images you added to that project. Files you process with converter-style tools (PDFs, photos, audio) are never part of any backup. You can turn backup off at any time, and the tool returns to storing work only on your device. Deleting your account deletes your backups.

2.7 Trackable QR Codes (Premium, Opt-In)

The QR Customizer offers Premium members an opt-in scan-tracking feature. When you enable it for a QR code, we store the destination link you chose and a timestamp for each scan so you can see how often the code is scanned. When someone scans such a code, their device briefly contacts our redirect service to be forwarded to your destination; we store only the scan timestamp, never the scanner's identity, IP address, or device details.

2.8 Tool Ratings and Favorites

When you rate a tool with the on-page star widget, we store the rating together with your account ID if you are signed in, or with your random anonymous analytics identifier if you are not. Ratings power the average score displayed on each tool page. Signed-in users can also favorite tools; your favorites list is stored with your account.

3. How We Use Your Information

We use the collected information for the following purposes:

3.1 Service Provision

3.2 Analytics and Improvement

3.3 Marketing and Growth

4. Data Processing Methods and Security

Netlify's privacy policy applies to their hosting services.

5.4 IP Geolocation

Our analytics service derives an approximate location (country, state, city, zip code) from your IP address when it receives analytics events. Only the approximate result is stored.

5.5 Google Advertising Tag

Our marketing pages and blog posts include Google's advertising conversion tag (gtag.js), which helps us measure whether our advertising leads to visits and sign-ups. Google may set cookies and collect data according to Google's own privacy policy. Our tool pages deliberately do not carry this tag, so your use of the tools themselves is not visible to it.

6. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

We use cookies and similar browser-storage technologies (primarily localStorage and sessionStorage) for:

6.1 Essential Storage

6.2 Analytics Storage

Additionally, the Google advertising tag on our marketing and blog pages may set third-party cookies (see Section 5.5).

You can control cookies and site-data settings through your browser, but clearing or blocking certain storage may limit Service functionality, including staying signed in.
