Privacy Policy

Privacy at YesTools

YesTools respects your privacy and aims to collect and use personal information responsibly. This Privacy Policy explains what information may be processed when you access this website, use its free online tools or communicate with YesTools.

The website provides free online tools and informational content. Many tools are designed to perform their function directly in your browser, which can reduce the need to send information to a server.

Last updated: 2 September 2026

Information We Collect

The information processed by YesTools depends on how you interact with the website. Not every visitor will provide personal information.

Information You Provide

If you contact YesTools, you may voluntarily provide information such as your name, email address, the contents of your message and any other information you choose to include.

This information is provided voluntarily and is generally used to respond to your enquiry, investigate an issue, consider feedback or otherwise communicate with you.

Technical Information

When you access a website, certain technical information may be processed automatically by web servers, hosting providers, security systems, analytics services or other infrastructure. This can include information such as an IP address, browser type, operating system, device information, referring page and basic request information.

Where such information is processed, it may be used for legitimate purposes including delivering the website, maintaining security, diagnosing technical problems, understanding website usage and preventing abuse.

Online Tool Inputs

Many YesTools tools are designed to process information locally within your browser. Where a tool operates entirely client-side, information entered into the tool does not need to be transmitted to YesTools for the tool to produce its result.

However, this may vary between tools and may change as the website develops. You should review the information displayed on an individual tool page and avoid entering confidential information unless you are comfortable doing so.

How We Use Information

Information processed by YesTools may be used for appropriate and lawful purposes connected with operating, maintaining and improving the website.

• To provide and maintain the website and its tools.
• To respond to enquiries and communications.
• To investigate technical problems and service issues.
• To maintain website security and prevent abuse, fraud or malicious activity.
• To understand website usage and improve content, functionality and user experience where appropriate.
• To operate advertising, affiliate and other commercial activities associated with the website, where applicable and permitted by law.
• To comply with applicable legal obligations.

YesTools does not use personal information for purposes that are incompatible with the reason it was collected unless permitted or required by applicable law.

Legal Basis for Processing

Where UK data protection law applies, personal information will be processed only where there is an appropriate lawful basis for doing so.

Depending on the circumstances, this may include processing that is necessary to provide a requested service, respond to a communication, comply with a legal obligation, protect the website or pursue legitimate interests that are not overridden by your rights and interests.

Where processing relies on consent, you may generally withdraw that consent, although this will not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before withdrawal.

Cookies and Similar Technologies

YesTools may use cookies, local storage or similar technologies where they are necessary to provide website functionality, maintain security, remember preferences, measure usage or support other legitimate website purposes.

Essential Technologies

Some technologies may be necessary for the website to function correctly, maintain security or provide a feature you have requested.

Analytics and Advertising

YesTools may use analytics and advertising services to understand website usage, measure advertising performance and display advertisements that help support the operation of the website. Such services may use cookies, identifiers or similar technologies and may process information about your device, browser and interaction with the website.

Where applicable law requires consent for non-essential cookies or similar technologies, YesTools will seek consent before placing or using them.

You can also control cookies through your browser settings. Disabling certain cookies may affect the functionality of some websites or services.

Third-Party Services

YesTools may rely on third-party providers to host, secure, analyse, operate, advertise or support aspects of the website. Where a third party processes personal information on behalf of YesTools, its processing should be limited to the purposes for which it has been engaged, subject to the applicable arrangements and law.

Third parties may include website hosting providers, infrastructure providers, security services, analytics providers, advertising providers, affiliate networks, email providers and other technical service providers, where applicable.

YesTools may also provide links to third-party websites, products or services. If you follow such a link or interact with a third-party service, that third party may process information in accordance with its own privacy policy and terms.

Third-party websites and services may have their own privacy policies and terms. YesTools is not responsible for the privacy practices of independent third-party websites or services that you choose to use.

When Information May Be Shared

YesTools does not sell personal information. Information may nevertheless be disclosed where there is a legitimate reason to do so.

• To service providers that help operate the website or provide requested services.
• To advertising, analytics or affiliate service providers where processing is permitted and necessary for the relevant service.
• Where disclosure is necessary to comply with a legal obligation or valid legal process.
• Where necessary to protect the rights, property, security or integrity of YesTools, its users or others.
• Where disclosure is otherwise permitted or required under applicable law.

Data Retention

Personal information is retained only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, to provide requested services, resolve issues, maintain appropriate records, comply with legal obligations or establish, exercise or defend legal claims.

Retention periods may vary depending on the type of information, the reason it was collected and applicable legal or operational requirements.

When personal information is no longer required, reasonable steps will be taken to delete it, securely dispose of it or otherwise remove it from active use, subject to any requirement to retain it.

Data Security

Reasonable technical and organisational measures are used to help protect information against unauthorised access, loss, misuse, alteration or disclosure.

However, no website, internet transmission or electronic storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure. You should therefore avoid submitting information that you do not need to provide, particularly sensitive or confidential information.

International Data Transfers

Some service providers used to operate websites may process information in countries outside the United Kingdom. Where personal information is transferred internationally, appropriate safeguards will be applied where required by applicable data protection law.

The safeguards used can depend on the service provider, the destination country and the circumstances of the transfer.

Your Privacy Rights

Depending on your circumstances and the law that applies, you may have rights relating to your personal information. These may include:

• The right to request access to personal information.
• The right to request correction of inaccurate or incomplete information.
• The right to request deletion of personal information in certain circumstances.
• The right to request restriction of processing in certain circumstances.
• The right to object to certain types of processing.
• The right to data portability in circumstances where the applicable legal requirements are met.
• The right to withdraw consent where processing is based on consent.

These rights are not absolute and may be subject to exceptions or conditions under applicable law.

Children's Privacy

YesTools is a general-purpose website and is not specifically directed at children. Visitors should not provide personal information through the website unless they are permitted to do so under applicable law.

If you believe that a child has provided personal information to YesTools in circumstances where it should not have been provided, please contact us so that the matter can be reviewed.

External Websites and Links

YesTools may contain links to websites operated by other organisations or individuals. Following an external link takes you to a separate service that may have different privacy practices.

These links may include advertising partners, affiliate partners, technology providers and other third-party services.

You should review the privacy policy of any external website before providing personal information to it.

Changes to This Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy may be updated from time to time to reflect changes to the website, services, technology, legal requirements or privacy practices.

When changes are made, the updated version will be published on this page with a revised update date. You should check this page periodically if you want to remain informed about how information is handled.
