1. Introduction
This Privacy Policy sets forth the manner in which Smart Utility Lab collects, uses, stores, discloses, and protects information in connection with your use of our website and browser-based utility tools. Smart Utility Lab is a free online service designed to assist users with everyday tasks, including text conversion, calculation checks, content formatting, and the handling of common data types directly within the browser.
The service is intended to remain simple and lightweight. In the ordinary course of use, you are not required to create an account in order to access the site. Accordingly, we collect only the limited information reasonably necessary to operate the website, improve the user experience, and maintain the security and reliability of the service.
This Policy should be read together with our Terms of Use. In the event of any conflict between this Policy and the Terms of Use on matters relating to service access, the Terms of Use shall prevail to the extent permitted by applicable law.
2. About Smart Utility Lab
Smart Utility Lab provides free browser-based tools for text, documents, calculations, and other everyday utility tasks. The site is designed for prompt use without a sign-up process, and most features become available immediately on the page you open. Because the tools run in your browser, many inputs remain on your device while you work.
We treat all visitors as free users for purposes of this Policy. Accordingly, the provisions below address the information that may be collected from individuals who access and use the site without charge.
3. Information We Collect
Smart Utility Lab is designed for use without account creation. In the ordinary course of providing the service, we may process limited technical and operational information to render pages, preserve responsiveness, and maintain service reliability.
The categories of information we may process include the following:
- browser type and basic device details
- pages viewed and the order in which pages are opened
- general location derived from your IP address
- error or performance signals that help us keep the site working
- preferences you choose on the site, such as theme settings
Most tool interactions are handled directly in your browser. Where possible, input is processed locally so that you may use the tools without creating a user profile.
4. Local Storage and Browser Processing
Most tool interactions are handled in your browser. Local preferences, such as theme, may be stored on your device for convenience. Certain tools may also use the browser's temporary storage while you are actively using the page so that you may review results, copy values, or continue a calculation without re-entering information.
If you clear your browser storage, the site may no longer retain your saved preferences or any temporary values kept locally by the browser.
5. Cookies and Tracking
Smart Utility Lab uses cookies and similar tracking technologies only to the extent reasonably necessary to operate the site, remember preferences, and understand usage at a general level. These technologies may collect information such as pages visited, approximate location, device and browser details, and interactions with the site.
We do not use tracking data to create personal profiles. Rather, such data assists us in understanding which pages are used most frequently, whether tools are functioning as intended, and where performance or usability may be improved.
Where your location requires consent before non-essential tracking is used, a choice will be presented before such tracking is enabled. You may modify that choice at any time through the cookie settings in the site footer.
6. Contact Messages
If you contact us, we may use the details you provide to respond to your request, provide support, and maintain a record of the communication for follow-up purposes where necessary.
We may also use contact messages to improve our support processes and to address technical issues that you report to us.
7. Third-Party Links
Smart Utility Lab may include links to external websites, tools, or reference pages that are not operated by us. Those third-party websites maintain their own privacy policies and terms, and we encourage you to review them before using those services.
8. Data Retention
We retain personal data only for so long as reasonably necessary to provide the service, support our users, resolve disputes, maintain security, and comply with applicable legal obligations.
When data is no longer required for these purposes, we delete it or store it in an anonymized form where appropriate.
9. Children's Privacy
Smart Utility Lab is intended for a general audience and is not designed to knowingly collect personal data from children. If you believe a child has provided personal information to us, please contact us so that we may review and remove it where required by law.
10. Policy Updates
This Policy may be revised from time to time to reflect changes in the service, applicable law, or our business practices. The most current version will remain available on this page, and the date at the top indicates the date of last revision.
