Privacy Policy

Introduction

Hytale World Tools ("we", "our", or "us") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you visit our website at hytaleworldtools.com ("the Service"). Please read this privacy policy carefully. If you do not agree with the terms of this privacy policy, please do not access the Service.

Information We Collect

We may collect information about you in various ways:

Personal Data

When you use our contact form, we collect personal information that you voluntarily provide to us, including:

• Name
• Email address
• Message content

Additionally, for spam prevention and security purposes, we automatically collect:

• Hashed IP Address: We store a cryptographic hash of your IP address, not the actual IP. This allows us to detect abuse patterns while protecting your privacy. The original IP is used only temporarily for rate limiting and is not stored.
• Basic Browser Information: We store only your browser type and operating system (e.g., "Chrome / Windows"), not your full browser fingerprint.

Automatically Collected Data

When you access the Service, we may automatically collect certain information, including:

• Device Information: Browser type, operating system, device type, screen resolution, and language preferences.
• Usage Data: Pages visited, time spent on pages, click patterns, and features used.
• IP Address: Your Internet Protocol address, which may be used to derive approximate location (country/region level).
• Referral Data: The website that referred you to our Service.

We use cookies and similar tracking technologies to track activity on our Service and hold certain information. Cookies are files with a small amount of data which may include an anonymous unique identifier.

Google Analytics

We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors interact with our Service. Google Analytics collects information such as how often users visit the Service, what pages they visit, and what other sites they used prior to coming to the Service. We use the information we get from Google Analytics to improve our Service. Google Analytics collects the IP address assigned to you on the date you visit the Service, rather than your name or other identifying information. Google's ability to use and share information collected by Google Analytics about your visits to the Service is restricted by the Google Analytics Terms of Use and the Google Privacy Policy. You can opt out of Google Analytics by installing the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on.

Advertising

We may use third-party advertising companies to serve ads when you visit the Service. These companies may use information about your visits to this and other websites in order to provide advertisements about goods and services of interest to you.

We may use Google AdSense to display advertisements on our Service. Google AdSense uses cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to our website or other websites. Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads based on your visit to our Service and/or other sites on the Internet.

You may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings. Alternatively, you can opt out of a third-party vendor's use of cookies for personalized advertising by visiting www.aboutads.info.

Contact form submissions are retained for up to 2 years unless you request earlier deletion.

Data Security

We implement appropriate technical and organizational security measures to protect your personal information against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. However, no method of transmission over the Internet or method of electronic storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
