Privacy Policy
Last Updated: August 2, 2026 // Revision 1.0.5
Commitment to Privacy
At UtiLabs.io, we prioritize the security of our users. While our tools are designed to be "privacy-first" and often process data directly on your device, we are committed to transparency regarding how any information is managed when you interact with our platform.
1. Data Collection and Usage
We collect information to provide better services to all our users. This includes:
- Log Information: When you use our services, we may automatically collect and store certain information in server logs (e.g., IP address, device event information, hardware settings).
- Cookies and Similar Technologies: We use cookies to identify your browser or device. This helps us provide a seamless "Vault Sync" experience and maintain your theme preferences.
Advertising & Monetization
We partner with Google and other third-party advertising networks to show non-intrusive ads that sponsor our ongoing development. To comply with AdSense and standard regulatory guidelines, we declare that:
- Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on a user's prior visits to UtiLabs.io or other websites on the Internet.
- Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve personalized ads to you based on your visit to our platform and other digital resources.
- You can easily opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google's Ads Settings.
- Alternatively, you can opt out of a third-party vendor's use of cookies for personalized advertising by visiting the AboutAds Network Portal.
1a. Affiliate Links
Some blog posts and guides on UtiLabs.io contain affiliate links, including links to Amazon.com. As an Amazon Associate, UtiLabs earns from qualifying purchases made through these links, at no additional cost to you. Affiliate links are only placed where the linked product is directly relevant to the tool or topic covered, and any post containing them displays an explicit disclosure near the top of the article.
1b. Account-Based Tools (YouTube Optimizer)
Most UtiLabs tools run entirely in your browser and never send your input anywhere. The YouTube Optimizer tool (/tools/youtube-seo) is the one exception: it requires a free UtiLabs account (email and password), and the video URL or transcript you submit is sent to our backend processing workflow to generate AI-powered SEO suggestions. Account credentials and submitted content for this tool are handled by that backend workflow rather than staying local to your device. If you have questions about what's stored or want it removed, contact us at the address below.
2. Data Security
We work hard to protect UtiLabs and our users from unauthorized access to or unauthorized alteration, disclosure, or destruction of information we hold. This includes the use of industry-standard SSL encryption and decentralized state management.
