Privacy Policy
At TradeUtilTools, we are committed to processing your international trade data securely and keeping your business operations private.
Local-First & Client-Side Processing
We operate under a privacy-first model. When you use our estimators (e.g., Duty Estimator, Freight Calculator, Invoice Generator), all computations are done directly inside your web browser using JavaScript. Your sensitive inputs are never transmitted, stored, or processed on our backend servers.
Information We Collect
While we do not store your calculations or business files, standard web telemetry and utilities do collect minimal information:
- Analytics: We use lightweight web analytics tools to gather aggregate, non-identifying data (such as page views, duration, and which tools are used). This helps us determine which utilities need optimization or updates.
- API Queries: Certain tools (e.g., Currency Converter, HS Code Lookup) query secure public endpoints to retrieve live global conversion rates or tariffs. These request parameters are anonymized.
Third-Party Services & Advertising
To keep TradeUtilTools 100% free for trade professionals, we display native and programmatic advertisements.
Third-party ad networks (such as Google AdSense) may place and read cookies on your browser, or use web beacons to gather information in the course of serving advertisements on this website. These networks use cookie data to serve ads based on your prior visits to this and other websites on the internet.
You can choose to disable or selectively turn off our cookies or third-party cookies in your browser settings, or manage your preferences via ad-network industry association opt-out tools.
Data Security
Even though we do not persist user data in database systems, all network transit on TradeUtilTools is fully encrypted over SSL/HTTPS. This ensures that the formulas, weights, tariffs, and inputs loaded in your browser cannot be intercepted or tampered with by external actors in transit.
Changes to This Policy
We reserves the right to modify this privacy statement at any time. Any changes will be instantly posted on this page with an updated "Last updated" date. We encourage visitors to review this page periodically.
