Privacy Policy
Last Updated: October 1, 2026
Plain-language summary: many Utiliverse tools process inputs locally in your browser. Some features need outside services—for example contact-form delivery, spam protection, IP/network lookups, DNS/RDAP/certificate lookups, and currency-rate retrieval. When a tool uses an external provider, the relevant lookup value or technical request data may be sent to that provider. Advertising services may also use cookies, IP addresses, or similar identifiers when Google ad code is active.
1. Information We Collect
At Utiliverse, we believe in minimizing data collection. Many of our utility tools are designed to execute entirely within your web browser. For example, text-processing inputs, image-processing inputs, and typing-test inputs are generally processed locally by the tool and are not intentionally transmitted to or stored on a Utiliverse application server unless a specific tool clearly states that it uses an external service.
If you use the Utiliverse contact form, we collect the information you choose to submit, which may include your name, email address, selected subject, and message. This information is used to receive, review, and respond to your inquiry, suggestion, bug report, or business-related message.
When you visit Utiliverse, standard server and network logs may be automatically generated for security, reliability, abuse prevention, and site-performance purposes. Depending on the infrastructure involved, these logs may include information such as your IP address, browser or user-agent information, requested page, and timestamps.
2. Third-Party Services and APIs
Some Utiliverse tools and site features rely on external infrastructure or third-party services to provide specific functionality. When you use those features, your browser or the Utiliverse backend may communicate with the applicable provider. Examples may include:
- Cloudflare: Utiliverse uses Cloudflare infrastructure for security, performance, request routing, and certain backend functions. The contact form also uses Cloudflare Turnstile to help detect and prevent automated spam and abuse. Turnstile may process technical information such as IP address, browser or device characteristics, and interaction signals for verification purposes.
- Resend: Contact-form submissions are transmitted through Resend so the message can be delivered by email. The submitted name, email address, subject, and message may therefore be processed by Resend as part of email delivery.
- Google / Gmail: Contact-form messages may be delivered to and stored in a Utiliverse-managed Gmail mailbox. Google may process those emails in accordance with its own privacy practices.
- Networking lookup providers: Email DNS queries are sent to Google Public DNS; WHOIS/RDAP queries use rdap.org and the relevant registration-data service; certificate checks send the hostname to api.domainee.dev; MAC vendor lookups send the entered address or prefix to MACLookup.app and may use macadress.com as a fallback. These providers receive the submitted lookup value and normal connection information. Address calculations and port-reference lookups do not themselves require submitting the input to a lookup service.
- IP geolocation: the IP Address Lookup tool uses ipapi.co. The IP address being looked up is sent to that provider. The “My Public IP” option allows the provider to see and return the public IP address associated with the request.
- Currency exchange data: the Unit & Currency Converter requests the latest available rate table from ExchangeRate-API. The selected base currency code and normal connection information are sent as part of that request.
- Financial Data Providers: Other tools that require current financial information may request data from third-party APIs when clearly disclosed on the relevant page.
- Content Delivery Networks (CDNs): Some pages may load JavaScript libraries, fonts, or other resources from third-party content-delivery networks.
Third-party providers may receive connection, technical, and submitted information as necessary to provide their services and may process that information under their own privacy policies. Utiliverse does not control the privacy practices of independent third-party services. A tool that performs its main calculation locally may still load page resources such as libraries, advertising code, or security services from external domains.
For additional information, you may review the privacy information published by Cloudflare, Resend, and Google, ipapi.co, and ExchangeRate-API.
3. Contact Form and Communications
When you submit the contact form, the form sends your name, email address, selected subject, message, and a Cloudflare Turnstile verification token to a Utiliverse backend endpoint. Cloudflare processes the verification request, and, after successful validation, the message is sent through Resend to a Utiliverse-managed email inbox.
The email address you provide is used as the reply-to address so Utiliverse can respond directly to you. Please do not include passwords, payment-card details, government identification numbers, health information, or other highly sensitive information in the contact form.
Contact-form information is used for purposes such as responding to inquiries, reviewing bug reports or tool suggestions, handling business or advertising communications, preventing abuse, and maintaining records reasonably necessary for follow-up and site operations.
4. Advertising, Cookies, and Similar Technologies
Utiliverse may use third-party advertising services, including Google AdSense. Google advertising code may be present on some pages for site verification, configuration, or ad serving even when an advertisement is not displayed on every page view. When Google or another advertising service receives a request from the page, the provider may receive normal connection information such as IP address, browser information, and page/request details.
When ad serving is enabled, third-party vendors, including Google, may place and read cookies on your browser or use technologies such as web beacons, IP addresses, or other identifiers to collect information as a result of ad serving on Utiliverse. Google and its advertising partners may use advertising cookies to serve ads based on a user's prior visits to Utiliverse and/or other websites, subject to the applicable Google settings, consent controls, and publisher policies.
Third parties may place and read cookies on users' browsers, or use web beacons, IP addresses, or other identifiers to collect information as a result of ad serving on this website.
For more information about how Google uses information from websites and apps that use Google services, visit How Google uses information from sites or apps that use our services.
- You may manage or opt out of personalized advertising through Google's My Ad Center / Ads Settings.
- You may also opt out of some third-party vendors' use of cookies for personalized advertising through AboutAds, where available.
- If additional third-party advertising vendors or ad networks are used, those providers may also use cookies or similar technologies subject to their own privacy policies and available opt-out controls.
5. Consent and Privacy Choices
Where required by applicable law, Utiliverse may present a consent message or other privacy controls before certain advertising or storage technologies are used. These controls may allow you to make choices about personalized advertising, cookies, or related data processing. Your available choices can vary depending on your location, browser, device, and the services enabled on the site.
You can also use your browser settings to block, delete, or limit cookies. Restricting cookies may affect the behavior of some website features or third-party services.
6. Sensitive Information and Lookup Inputs
Some Utiliverse tools accept technical values such as IP addresses, domain names, email-domain records, certificate hostnames, MAC addresses, HTTP headers, HAR files, or other diagnostic data. Before using a tool, review the notice on that page to determine whether the input stays in your browser or is sent to an external provider.
Do not submit passwords, private keys, authentication tokens, payment-card information, government identification numbers, medical records, or other highly sensitive information to a Utiliverse contact form or external lookup tool unless the page specifically states that the workflow is designed for that data. When sharing logs, URLs, headers, HAR files, or troubleshooting output, redact confidential values first.
7. Data Retention
Utiliverse does not require user accounts or persistent database profiles for its standard utility tools. Information processed only inside your browser is not retained by Utiliverse after the page is closed unless a particular tool explicitly uses browser storage for a feature such as saved preferences.
Contact-form submissions may remain in the receiving email mailbox and may also appear in limited delivery, security, or operational records maintained by service providers such as Cloudflare, Resend, or Google. Utiliverse may retain contact messages for as long as reasonably necessary to respond, maintain correspondence history, investigate abuse or technical issues, comply with applicable obligations, or support legitimate business and site-operational needs. Messages that are no longer needed may be deleted in the ordinary course of mailbox and account management.
Server or network logs retained for security, reliability, abuse prevention, or operational purposes may be kept for a limited period consistent with those purposes and the practices of the infrastructure providers involved.
8. Privacy Questions and Corrections
If you have a question about how a specific Utiliverse feature handles data, or believe a privacy disclosure is inaccurate or outdated, you can use the Contact page and select the privacy or correction-related subject that best fits your message.
9. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy periodically to reflect changes to Utiliverse, third-party services, advertising practices, legal requirements, or privacy controls. Any updated version will be posted on this page with a revised "Last Updated" date.
