fixnow.tools ("we", "our", "the site") is an independently operated Malaysian-based tools website. This privacy policy explains how we handle information when you use our website.
1. No Personal Data Collection
fixnow.tools does not require registration or login. We do not collect, store, or process any personal data such as your name, email address, or identification information when you use our tools.
2. Tool Data
All tools on fixnow.tools run entirely in your browser. Any text, numbers, or files you enter into our tools are processed locally on your device and are never transmitted to our servers. We have no access to your tool inputs or outputs.
3. Server Logs
Our web server (Nginx) automatically records standard access logs which include your IP address, the pages you visited, timestamp, and browser type. These logs are used solely for security monitoring and server maintenance. Log data is retained for a maximum of 30 days and then deleted. We do not use log data to identify individual users or build user profiles.
4. Cookies
fixnow.tools does not use tracking cookies or marketing cookies. We do not use cookies to identify or track individual users across sessions or websites.
5. Google AdSense
We display advertisements provided by Google AdSense. Google may use cookies and similar technologies to serve relevant ads based on your browsing history. This is governed by Google's own privacy policy at policies.google.com/privacy. You can opt out of personalised advertising at google.com/settings/ads.
6. Analytics
We use self-hosted Umami analytics to understand aggregate traffic patterns (e.g. which pages are most visited). Umami does not use cookies and does not collect personally identifiable information. No data is shared with third parties.
7. Third-Party Services
The "What Is My IP" tool uses the ipapi.co API to retrieve publicly visible IP information. Your IP address is sent to ipapi.co to process this request. Please review their privacy policy at ipapi.co/privacy for more information.
Payment processing for voluntary donations is handled by Stripe and Ko-fi. Please review their respective privacy policies when making a donation.
8. Children's Privacy
fixnow.tools is intended for general use. We do not knowingly collect information from children under 13 years of age.
9. GDPR / PDPA Compliance
We are committed to compliance with applicable privacy laws including the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and Malaysia's Personal Data Protection Act (PDPA). Since we collect no personal data from tool usage, most GDPR/PDPA obligations do not apply to our core service. For any privacy-related inquiries, contact us at [email protected].
10. California Privacy Rights (CCPA / CPRA)
We are a small, independent site that does not meet CCPA business thresholds, but we voluntarily honor California residents' privacy rights. We do not sell, share, or monetize personal information. We collect no personal identifiers through our tools — only anonymized aggregate analytics via Umami. If you are a California resident, you have the right to know what data we hold (anonymized page-view counts only), request deletion of any data, receive a copy of any data, and be free from discrimination for exercising these rights. To exercise any of these rights, contact us at [email protected] with subject "Privacy Request". We aim to respond within 45 days.
11. Changes to This Policy
We may update this privacy policy from time to time. The date at the top of this page indicates when it was last revised. Continued use of the site after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
