Fully Torqued Applications

Privacy Policy

Last updated:

Fully Torqued Applications ("we", "us") operates www.fullytorquedapplications.com and the free browser tools hosted there. This policy explains what data is involved when you use the site, and the choices and rights you have. Questions: goldfingerfif@gmail.com.

The short version

Information we process

Tool input (stays on your device)

Our tools are client-side. Letters, passwords, and numbers you enter are processed locally in your browser and are not transmitted to our servers. Some tools may store small preferences in your browser's local storage purely to remember settings.

Server logs

Like virtually all websites, our hosting provider records standard request logs (IP address, date/time, page requested, browser user-agent) for security and to keep the site running. These logs are not used to identify you and are retained only as long as needed for operations and abuse prevention.

URL to PDF Converter (server-side processing)

The URL to PDF Converter is the one tool that does not run entirely in your browser: the link you submit is sent to our conversion server, which loads that public page in an isolated browser, generates your PDF or image, and returns it to your browser. Submitted URLs and generated files are processed transiently — the file is not stored on our servers after it has been delivered to you. The conversion server keeps standard operational logs and holds your IP address in memory briefly for rate limiting and abuse prevention. The pages you choose to convert belong to their respective owners and are governed by their own terms and privacy policies.

Advertising & cookies (Google AdSense)

The free site is supported by Google AdSense. When you consent, Google and its partners may set and read cookies and similar identifiers (including the DoubleClick cookie) to serve and measure ads, and — if you allow personalization — to show ads based on your prior visits to this and other sites.

Consent management

We use Google Consent Mode v2. Advertising and analytics storage are denied by default — before and unless you consent, ads are served without personalization or tracking cookies. For visitors in the EEA, UK, and Switzerland we use Google's certified consent message (Funding Choices, IAB TCF) as required by law; elsewhere ads simply stay in this non-personalized, cookieless default. You can review, give, withdraw, or change consent at any time through in the footer.

Analytics

We use Google Analytics 4 to understand traffic in aggregate, governed by Consent Mode: analytics cookies are set only with your consent; without it, measurement is cookieless and aggregate. IP anonymization is enabled, and we do not use analytics to identify individuals.

Legal bases (GDPR / UK GDPR)

International transfers

Our service providers — Google, and for paid extensions Polar and Stripe — may process personal data outside the EEA and the UK, including in the United States. Where that happens, the transfer relies on the safeguards those providers maintain, such as the European Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses and, where applicable, the EU–US and UK–US Data Privacy Framework.

Your rights

EEA/UK (GDPR): you may request access, rectification, erasure, restriction, portability, and you may object to processing or withdraw consent at any time. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with your data protection authority.

California (CCPA/CPRA): you have the right to know, delete, and correct personal information, and to opt out of the "sale" or "sharing" of personal information. Serving personalized ads can constitute "sharing" under the CPRA. Our default is non-personalized ads with advertising storage denied, so no such sharing occurs unless you opt in to personalized ads; you can review or change your choice at any time via . We do not sell personal information for money.

To exercise any right, email goldfingerfif@gmail.com.

Children

The site is not directed to children under 13 (or the applicable age in your region), and we do not knowingly collect their personal information.

Third parties

Our primary third party is Google (AdSense, and optionally Analytics and the Funding Choices CMP). Their handling of data is governed by the Google Privacy Policy.

Our paid browser extensions are sold through Polar, which acts as the merchant of record and issues and validates license keys. When you buy an extension, Polar receives your purchase details.

Licensing works like this. When you activate a license, the extension sends your license key to Polar. Polar replies with an anonymous per-install activation identifier, which is stored on your device — we never receive it. From then on, each time you open the extension it sends the key and that identifier to Polar to re-check that the license is still valid, and it sends them once more if you release that browser so the activation can be used somewhere else. If a release cannot reach Polar, the extension retries it the next time you open it. If Polar cannot be reached at all, the extension keeps working offline for up to 7 days (Secure Password Generator) or 14 days (our other extensions) from the last successful check.

There is no background activity: our extensions have no scheduled task, timer or background page that contacts anyone. Every request above happens because you opened or used the extension. No browsing data and no device fingerprint are ever transmitted.

Polar uses Stripe as its underlying payment processor. Their handling of data is governed by the Polar Privacy Policy and the Stripe Privacy Policy. We never receive or store your payment card details.
