Privacy policy
Last updated: August 20, 2026
How tool input is handled
As a general rule, Karu Tools processes input locally in your browser. Text, dates, JSON, amounts, and lists entered into tools are not sent to or stored on the site's servers.
When analytics are used, tool input is not individually sent for analysis. If a future tool uses an external API, login, storage, or file upload, its destination and storage behavior will be clearly stated on the relevant tool page.
On shared or public devices, input and results shown on screen may be visible to people nearby. Do not enter passwords, secret keys, personal identification numbers, or confidential work information.
Information collected through inquiries
When you use the contact page, we collect the inquiry type, message, optional email address for replies, and the pathname of the relevant page. We do not ask for or store names, addresses, phone numbers, attachments, tool input, IP addresses, or user-agent strings.
This information is used to reply, verify the issue, investigate bugs, and improve the site. Inquiry messages and email addresses are not written to application logs.
Inquiry storage and retention
Inquiries are accepted through an API on this site's origin. Cloudflare Turnstile prevents abuse and spam. Cloudflare Pages Functions receive, validate, and relay inquiries. Validated inquiries are delivered and stored in a private Google environment through Google Apps Script, and are used to notify the site operator.
Inquiry messages and reply email addresses are deleted after about 180 days. Ongoing cases may be retained until they are resolved. To request deletion, contact us through the contact page.
Please also review the privacy policies of Cloudflare and Google.
Analytics
This site uses Google Analytics 4 (GA4) to improve the service. GA4 may use cookies and similar technologies to collect information such as page views, referrers, and usage environment. This information is not used to directly identify individuals.
For the Age Calculator, Area Converter, Discount Calculator, Days Calculator, BPM Tap Counter, and Web Metronome, a completed operation may send one of tool_calculate, tool_copy, or tool_handoff so we can understand actual use. These operation events contain only a fixed tool ID, display language, and action type. They never include birth dates, prices, BPM, tool input, calculation results, free-form text, URLs, user identifiers, or input counts.
To avoid GA4 measurement, use your browser's cookie settings or the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
Disclosure to third parties
We do not disclose personal information to third parties except with your consent, when required by law, or when using services such as Cloudflare and Google as needed to respond to inquiries and operate the site.
