Introduction
This Privacy Policy explains how HstockPlus Tools ("we", "us") handles information when you use the utilities site at hstockplus.org (the "Tools Site").
The HstockPlus marketplace at hstockplus.org has its own marketplace Privacy Policy. If you create an account, place orders or use seller features on the marketplace, that policy applies to those activities.
Information we process on the Tools Site
1. Tool inputs you submit
Some tools ask you to enter data such as usernames, email addresses, domains, URLs, headers or secrets. We process those inputs only to run the requested tool.
- Browser-only tools (for example password generator, JSON formatter, TOTP generator) process data in your browser when possible and do not need to upload the content for the core feature to work.
- Server-assisted tools (for example account checks, DNS, MX, SMTP, HTTP headers, SSL checks) send the minimum required input to our servers so the lookup can run.
2. Technical and usage data
We may automatically collect limited technical information such as IP address, browser type, request timestamps, pages visited and basic diagnostic logs. This helps us operate rate limits, block unsafe targets, prevent abuse and keep the Tools Site available.
3. Language preference
If you change the language selector, a preference may be stored in your browser (for example localStorage) so the interface can remember your choice.
4. Premium access links
Some Premium tool pages may link to an external purchase or access URL configured by the site operator. That destination may collect information under its own terms and privacy notice.
How we use information
- Provide and improve the requested tools.
- Apply rate limiting and block private or local network targets.
- Detect abuse, debugging issues and maintain security.
- Support optional translation of interface text.
- Comply with applicable law where required.
Sharing
We do not sell your personal information. Tool requests may be processed by our hosting, logging or upstream check providers only as needed to deliver the feature you requested. We may disclose information if required by law or to protect the Tools Site and its users.
Cookies and local storage
The Tools Site may use essential browser storage for language preference and similar settings. We do not use marketplace login cookies on the Tools Site unless you separately visit hstockplus.org.
Retention
Operational logs and task results are kept only as long as needed for service delivery, abuse prevention, troubleshooting and legal requirements, then removed or minimized according to our retention practices.
Security
We use reasonable technical measures such as transport encryption where available, access controls and request limits. No online service can guarantee absolute security. Avoid pasting passwords, private keys or highly sensitive secrets into tools unless you understand how that tool works.
Children
The Tools Site is not directed to children under 18. We do not knowingly collect personal information from minors.
Your choices
Depending on your location, you may have rights to access, correct or delete personal information we hold about you. To make a request related to the Tools Site, contact [email protected].
Changes
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The revised version will be posted on this page with an updated date.
