Privacy Policy

Last Updated: September 2026 • Production Baseline

At YO SEO Tools (accessible from https://yoseotools.com), we believe privacy should be transparent, accurately stated, and engineered directly into our application architecture.

Local Browser Processing

For text, image, PDF, and developer utilities: input text and files are processed entirely inside your local browser. They are not uploaded to YO SEO Tools servers.

Server Network Inspection

For network tools (HTTP headers, redirects, server status): the public URL you enter is sent to our server to perform the remote check. We do not access or store your local files.

1. Two Distinct Processing Models

YO SEO Tools operates two distinct processing models depending on the specific utility you are using:

A. Local Tools (In-Browser Execution)

“This tool processes your input locally in your browser. Your file or text is not uploaded to YO SEO Tools.”

Applies to: Word Counter, Character Counter, Case Converter, Text Cleaner, Text Diff, Reading Time, Image Compressor, Image Resizer, Image Converter, PDF Merge, PDF Split, PDF Rotate, Images to PDF, JSON Formatter, Base64 Converter, URL Encoder/Decoder, UUID Generator, Unix Timestamp, Hours Calculator, Age Calculator, QR Code Generator, XML Sitemap Generator, and Robots.txt Generator.

B. Server-Processing Network Tools

“This tool sends the URL you enter to YO SEO Tools infrastructure so we can perform the requested network check. We do not need the contents of your local files for this operation.”

Applies to: HTTP Header Viewer, Redirect Checker, and Server Status Checker. When you enter a public URL, our server fetches the target header or status chain in real-time memory and returns the response directly to you without permanent database logging.

2. Web Server Logs & Telemetry

When you browse YO SEO Tools, standard hosting infrastructure may collect standard, non-personally identifiable diagnostic headers for operational stability:

  • HTTP request method, requested path, and response status code.
  • Anonymized IP addresses for routing and DDoS mitigation.
  • Browser user agent string and referring URL.

We do not sell, monetize, or trade this technical telemetry.

3. Advertising Policy (Current & Future State)

Current State: Google AdSense is active on YO SEO Tools with carefully placed ad units. Ads may use cookies or similar technologies according to Google's policies and your consent choices.

Ad preferences: To ensure our tools remain free for users worldwide, we use certified advertising services including Google AdSense. When applicable:

  • Third-party vendors (including Google) may use cookies to serve ads based on prior visits to our site or other websites.
  • Users will be able to opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings or www.aboutads.info.
  • We will implement a Google-certified Consent Management Platform (CMP) adhering to the IAB Europe Transparency and Consent Framework (TCF v2.2) for visitors in the European Economic Area (EEA), UK, and Switzerland.

4. User Rights & Inquiries

Depending on your jurisdiction (such as GDPR in Europe or CCPA/CPRA in California), you may have rights to request information regarding your data. Because our tools operate locally in your browser or process public URLs in transient memory without user accounts, we hold no personal user records or files.
