Privacy Policy

Last Updated: August 18, 2025

Welcome to CreatorTools.us! This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your information when you use our website.

1. Information We Collect

We collect information in the following ways:

  • WordPress Website Functions: When you visit our website, certain standard information is collected by WordPress, such as your IP address (which is a form of Personally Identifiable Information), browser type, and a record of the pages you visit. This data helps our website function properly, secures it from malicious activity, and improves your user experience.
  • Client-Side Tools: Our website primarily uses client-side tools, which means most of the data processing happens directly in your browser. This includes:
    • ZIP File Uploads: We allow you to upload ZIP files for processing. These files are processed directly in your browser and are not stored on our servers.
    • Instagram Account Analysis: We provide a tool to analyze the accounts you follow and that follow you on Instagram. This analysis is also performed in your browser. We do not store your full follower or following lists.
  • User-Provided Information: If you choose to register for an account, we may collect the following information:
    • Registered Users: For registered users, we offer the option to “whitelist” specific Instagram account names. These whitelisted account names are considered PII and are the only PII we store on our servers to provide you with a personalized experience and to save your preferences for future use.
    • Platform Preferences: We store your platform preferences (e.g., display settings, tool customizations) to ensure a consistent experience when you return to our site.
  • Analytics and Tracking Technologies: We use Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager to help us understand how visitors use our website. Google Analytics uses cookies to collect information such as your IP address (which is a form of PII), browser type, device, and the pages you visit on our site. This data helps us analyze trends, administer the site, track user movement, and gather demographic information. We use this information to improve our website and provide a better user experience. We have enabled IP anonymization to protect your privacy, which means Google will truncate your IP address within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states to the Agreement on the European Economic Area before it is transmitted. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and truncated there. Google Tag Manager is a tool that allows us to manage various tracking codes on our website. It does not collect any personal data itself but may trigger other tags that do.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect for the following purposes:

  • To operate and maintain our website.
  • To provide and improve the tools and services you request.
  • To save your preferences and whitelisted account names (for registered users only).
  • To personalize your experience on our website.
  • To protect our website from security threats.
  • To analyze website traffic and user behavior to improve our services using Google Analytics.

3. Data Storage and Security

  • Data Location: Any data we store, such as whitelisted Instagram account names and platform preferences, is stored on our secure servers.
  • Data Retention: We retain any stored data for a period of up to 12 months, after which it is automatically removed from our servers.
  • Anonymous Sessions: We use anonymous session management to provide a consistent user experience without storing personal information. These sessions automatically expire after 24 hours.
  • Client-Side Processing: The data processed by our client-side tools (e.g., your uploaded ZIP files and full Instagram follower/following lists) is not stored on our servers. This information remains in your browser and is deleted when you close the browser tab or clear your browser’s cache.
  • Security: We take reasonable measures to protect the information we collect from unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. However, please be aware that no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure.

4. Sharing Your Information

We do not sell, trade, or rent your personal information to others. We will only share your information with third parties if required to do so by law. For more information on how Google uses your data, please visit Google’s Privacy & Terms page: https://policies.google.com/privacy.

5. Your Choices

  • Progressive Consent: We use progressive consent disclosure to ensure you are aware of and agree to any data collection as you use new features on our site.
  • Cookies: Our website may use cookies to enhance your experience. You can choose to set your web browser to refuse cookies or to alert you when cookies are being sent. However, if you do so, some parts of the site may not function properly.
  • Opt-Out: You can opt out of Google Analytics tracking by using the Google Analytics Opt-Out Browser Add-on: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.
  • Account Information: If you are a registered user, you can access and update your stored information, including your whitelisted account names and preferences, through your account settings.

6. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We reserve the right to update this privacy policy at any time. We will post a notification on the main page of our site and revise the “Last Updated” date at the top of this policy. We encourage you to check this page periodically for any changes.
