Privacy Policy

Last updated: February 22, 2026

ToolShelf ("we," "us," or "our") operates thetoolshelf.dev. This page explains what data we collect, how we use it, and your choices.

What we collect

ToolShelf does not require accounts, logins, or personal information. We do not collect your name, email address, or any personally identifiable information unless you voluntarily contact us.

Analytics

We may use privacy-respecting analytics to understand how visitors use the site — such as which pages are visited and how long people stay. This data is aggregated and anonymous. We do not track individual users across the web.

Advertising

ToolShelf may display advertisements served by Google AdSense or other third-party ad networks. These services may use cookies and similar technologies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this and other websites. You can opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google's Ad Settings or the DAA opt-out page.

Affiliate links

Some listings contain affiliate links to third-party products and services. When you click an affiliate link and make a purchase, we may earn a commission at no additional cost to you. Affiliate links are clearly disclosed on the page where they appear. These relationships never influence our review verdicts.

Cookies

ToolShelf itself does not set cookies. However, third-party services embedded on this site — including ad networks and analytics providers — may set cookies in your browser. You can manage or disable cookies through your browser settings.

External links

ToolShelf links to third-party websites including GitHub repositories, documentation pages, and product sites. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of these external sites. We encourage you to review their privacy policies.

Children's privacy

ToolShelf is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated date. Continued use of the site after changes constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
