Privacy Policy
Last Updated: September 20, 2026
1. Overview and Privacy Philosophy
At HKSmarTools (accessible via https://hksmarttools.com), visitor privacy is our highest technical priority. Unlike many online tools websites that upload user data to remote servers for processing, HKSmarTools is intentionally engineered to execute calculations directly inside your web browser.
2. Information We Do NOT Collect
- Calculation Inputs: Your financial numbers, loan terms, weight, height, dates, text passages, and generated passwords are never transmitted to our servers or stored in any remote database.
- User Accounts: We do not operate a user registration or account login system. You can use every tool freely and anonymously without creating an account.
3. Local Storage
We use your browser's standard localStorage solely to remember your UI preference for Dark Mode versus Light Mode (key: hksmarttools_theme). This data stays entirely on your device and is never shared.
4. Information You Voluntarily Provide
If you contact us via our Contact Form or by email, we receive the details you choose to submit (such as your name, email address, and message contents) solely to respond to your inquiry or feature request.
5. Server Logs & Hosting
Our website is hosted on Hostinger. Like standard web servers, Hostinger automatically logs basic technical request metadata (such as IP address, browser user-agent, operating system, and timestamp) for security defense, DDoS mitigation, and server performance monitoring.
6. Third-Party Links & Advertising
HKSmarTools does not share user data with third parties. In the future, if non-intrusive advertising (such as Google AdSense) is enabled to support infrastructure costs, third-party vendors may use cookies to serve ads based on prior visits. You can opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google's Ads Settings.
