Privacy Policy
Effective Date: April 17, 2025
1. Introduction
Welcome to xlocale.com (the "Site"). We are committed to respecting your privacy and protecting your data. This Privacy Policy explains how we handle information when you use our developer and finance utility tools.
2. Information We Collect
Our goal is to collect minimal information. Most of our tools run client-side, meaning your data is not sent to or stored on our servers.
We may collect the following types of information:
- Non-Personally Identifiable Information (Usage Data): Like many websites, we may use analytics services to understand how you interact with our site. This data is collected using cookies or similar technologies.
- Personally Identifiable Information (PII): We do not require you to provide any personally identifiable information to use our tools. If you voluntarily contact us, we may collect the information you provide.
- Client-Side Storage (Local Storage): We may use your browser's local storage to save your preferences, such as theme settings. This data is stored locally and not transmitted to our servers.
3. How We Use Your Information
We use the information we collect solely for the following purposes:
- To operate, maintain, and improve the Site and its tools.
- To understand how users interact with the Site through aggregated analytics data.
- To monitor site performance and security.
- To remember your preferences (like theme) using local storage.
- To respond to inquiries if you contact us directly.
We do not use the data you input into the client-side tools for any purpose other than providing the tool's functionality within your browser session.
4. Data Sharing and Disclosure
We do not sell, trade, rent, or otherwise share your personally identifiable information.
We may share non-personally identifiable usage data with:
- Analytics Providers: We use third-party analytics services to help us understand how our site is used. These providers have their own privacy policies. See: Analytics Provider Policy.
- Legal Requirements: We may disclose information if required by law or to protect our rights.
5. Data Security
We take reasonable technical and administrative measures to protect your data. However, no method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee its absolute security. As the core tool functionality is client-side, your data is processed locally, reducing server-side data security risks.
6. Cookies and Local Storage
As mentioned, we or our third-party analytics providers may use cookies to collect usage data. You can control cookies through your browser settings. We also use local storage to save your preferences, which you can clear at any time.
7. Third-Party Links
The Site may contain links to other websites. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of these third-party sites. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any third-party websites you visit.
8. Children's Privacy
xlocale.com is not intended for use by children under the age of 13 (or 16 in the EEA/UK). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If we learn that we have collected personal information from a child, we will take steps to remove that information.
9. Your Data Rights
Depending on your location (e.g., EEA, UK, California), you may have certain rights regarding your personal data. To exercise any applicable rights or if you have questions, please contact us using the information below.
10. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page. We encourage you to review this Privacy Policy frequently to stay informed about how we are protecting your data.
