Privacy Policy

At HB Tools by Haridash (available at haridash.com), we respect your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains what information may be collected when you visit our website or use our online tools, how that information is used, and the choices available to you.

HB Tools includes both browser-based tools and server-side tools. Because the processing method depends on the individual tool, please read the sections below before submitting a file, prompt, IP address, domain name, or other information.

1. How HB Tools Processes Your Data

Browser-based processing

Many PDF, image, audio, video, calculator, and developer tools are designed to process data in your browser using JavaScript, HTML5, Canvas, WebAssembly, or similar technologies. For these tools, the selected file or input may remain on your device and may not be uploaded to our server.

Browser-based processing can still involve ordinary website requests, analytics, cookies, content-delivery services, or third-party libraries. The exact behavior is described on the relevant tool page whenever applicable.

Server-side processing

The following HB Tools currently use server-side processing or external service requests:

• Audio to Text — an audio file and related processing information may be sent to a server or processing provider to create a transcription.
• Text to Image — your prompt, selected settings, and generation request may be sent to an image-generation service. Generated images may be displayed in a gallery where the tool says that gallery sharing is enabled.
• Screen Recorder — recording data and related processing requests may be handled by the service used by the tool. Check the tool interface before starting a recording.
• My IP — your IP address may be detected or returned through the hosting environment or an IP-information service.
• SSL Checker — the domain or hostname you submit may be sent to a server or external checking service to inspect certificate and TLS information.
• DNS Lookup — the domain or hostname you submit may be sent to a DNS resolution service to retrieve DNS records.
• WHOIS Lookup — the domain name you submit may be sent to a WHOIS or domain-information service.
• Image to Text — the image you submit and related processing information may be sent to a server or OCR provider to extract text.

Important: Do not submit confidential, highly sensitive, regulated, or personal information to a server-side tool unless you are comfortable with the processing described on that tool's page. Server-side requests may be temporarily transmitted, processed, logged, or retained by HB Tools or its service providers as necessary to operate, secure, troubleshoot, and improve the service. We do not promise that server-side data is never stored.

2. Information We May Collect

Depending on how you use the website, we may receive or process the following categories of information:

• Tool inputs: files, audio, images, text prompts, domain names, hostnames, IP addresses, or other information you voluntarily submit to a tool.
• Technical information: IP address, browser type, operating system, device information, approximate location, referring page, date and time, and diagnostic information.
• Usage information: pages visited, tools opened, buttons used, approximate session activity, and error or performance data.
• Contact information: your name, email address, message, and attachments if you contact us through email or the contact form.

We do not require an account for ordinary use of HB Tools. Please do not enter unnecessary personal information into a tool input.

3. How We Use Information

We may use information to:

• provide, operate, and return results from the requested tool;
• communicate with you and respond to support or business inquiries;
• monitor reliability, prevent abuse, detect security incidents, and troubleshoot errors;
• understand website usage and improve content, performance, and user experience;
• comply with legal obligations and enforce our Terms of Service; and
• display and measure advertising where advertising services are enabled.

We do not sell your submitted files or tool inputs as a product. However, a server-side tool may require a third-party processing provider to complete the requested operation, as explained above and on the relevant tool page.

4. Server Logs, Analytics, and Error Monitoring

Our hosting, analytics, security, or error-monitoring services may automatically record technical information such as IP address, browser and device type, requested URL, timestamps, referring and exit pages, approximate location, and error details. This information is used for site administration, security, performance measurement, debugging, and aggregated usage analysis.

We take reasonable steps to limit access to operational logs. Logs may be retained for a period appropriate to security, troubleshooting, legal, and operational needs, subject to the capabilities and policies of the relevant hosting or service provider.

5. Cookies and Similar Technologies

HB Tools and its service providers may use cookies, local storage, pixels, or similar technologies to remember preferences, maintain functionality, measure traffic, prevent abuse, and deliver or measure advertising. Some tools may use browser storage for temporary settings or locally processed results.

You can control cookies through your browser settings. Blocking cookies may affect some website features, tool functionality, analytics, or advertising preferences.

6. Google AdSense and Advertising

Where Google AdSense or another advertising partner is enabled, advertising providers may use cookies or similar technologies to serve, personalize, limit, or measure ads based on visits to this and other websites, subject to their own policies and applicable consent requirements.

For information about Google advertising technology and available controls, visit Google's Advertising Policies and Privacy. You may also manage advertising personalization through Google Ads Settings, where available.

Advertising cookies may be subject to regional consent requirements. Where required, we will request consent or provide an appropriate way to manage non-essential cookies.

7. Third-Party Services and Links

Some tools depend on third-party services, APIs, hosting providers, content-delivery networks, analytics providers, security services, advertising partners, OCR services, transcription services, DNS/WHOIS services, or AI providers. These providers may process information needed to provide the requested feature. Their processing is governed by their own privacy policies and terms.

Our website may also link to third-party websites. We are not responsible for the privacy practices, content, security, or availability of websites that we do not control. Review the privacy policy of any third-party service before submitting information to it.

8. Data Security

We use reasonable technical and organizational measures intended to protect the website and information processed through it. No website, internet transmission, API, or storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure. For your protection, avoid submitting passwords, payment-card details, government identification numbers, medical records, confidential business documents, or other highly sensitive information unless the relevant tool specifically requires it and you accept the risk.

9. Data Retention and Deletion Requests

Browser-based files normally remain in your browser unless you save or share the result. Server-side inputs and technical logs may be retained temporarily or for longer where needed for service delivery, security, debugging, legal compliance, or provider operations. Retention can vary by tool and third-party provider.

If you have a privacy question or believe that a personal data request applies to information you submitted, contact us at contact@haridash.com. Include the relevant tool, approximate date, and enough detail for us to investigate. Do not email sensitive files or passwords.

10. Children's Privacy

HB Tools is not directed to children under the age required by applicable law. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children for account creation. If you believe a child has submitted personal information, contact us so we can review the request.

11. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy when our tools, providers, legal obligations, or data practices change. The updated version will be posted on this page with a revised “Last updated” date. Your continued use of the website after an update means that you have reviewed the revised policy to the extent permitted by law.
