Privacy Policy

yhstky (“we”, “our”) is a collection of free online tools at yhstky.shop — QR and barcode generators, formatters, counters, and SEO utilities. This policy explains what information we collect, what we don’t, and how it’s used. Plain language, no surprises.

Information we do not collect

Our tools run entirely in your browser. We do not ask you to create an account, sign in, or provide personal details to use any tool. Text you paste into a formatter or counter is processed on your device and is never sent to our servers or stored by us.

Information we may collect

Usage analytics. We may use privacy-friendly analytics tools to understand aggregate site usage — for example, which pages are visited and how often. These tools do not identify you personally.

Cookies. We may use a small number of cookies or local browser storage to remember basic preferences. You can clear or block these through your browser settings at any time; the tools will still work.

Contact form. If you contact us through our contact page (/contact/), we receive the information you choose to send — typically your name, email address, and message. We use it only to respond and do not sell or share it.

Advertising

We may display advertising on this site, including ads served by Google AdSense. Google and its advertising partners may use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this site or other websites. You can opt out of personalized advertising in Google’s Ads Settings. We do not control cookies set by third-party advertisers.

Data security

We take reasonable steps to protect the site, but no internet transmission or storage method is completely secure. The only personal details we ever hold are the messages you choose to send through our contact form, which we use only to reply. Your tool inputs are never collected or stored, so there is very little at risk.

Children’s privacy

yhstky is a general-audience site and is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. The current version will always be posted on this page.
