Information processed by the service
Account information
If you choose Google sign-in, Google provides your email address, name, profile image, and a Google account identifier through the openid email profile scopes. it.you does not receive your Google password, Gmail, Drive files, contacts, or calendar. We store an it.you username, profile fields you choose to add, saved tools, account preferences, login timestamps, and support threads.
Tool activity
Browser-side tools—including most formatters, converters, generators, timers, and image tools—process the value placed into the tool in your browser. That tool input is not submitted to the it.you application server. First-party engagement events may record the page path and a broad action such as page view, save, share, or tool completion; they do not contain the value entered into the tool.
Backend-assisted tools—IP Lookup, DNS Lookup, and WHOIS Lookup—send the requested IP address or domain through our server because an external network query is necessary. The query is forwarded to an IP-information provider, DNS resolver, or registry service. Those providers process the query under their own policies.
Messages and technical records
Contact, deletion, abuse, and support forms store the information you submit. If you provide an email address and a staff member replies, the configured mail-delivery provider receives the address and reply content needed to deliver that message. Server-assisted tool-use records may include a shortened one-way hash of the requesting IP for abuse prevention. Hosting and reverse-proxy access logs may separately contain request time, URL, user agent, status code, and network address.
Browser storage and cookies
Signed-in sessions use essential cookies. Saved-page shortcuts, recent pages, dismissal choices, and learning-path progress may be stored in local browser storage. Local storage remains on that browser unless you clear it and is not automatically removed when an it.you account is deleted. See the Cookie Policy for details.
Where information is stored or processed
- Application database: account profiles, saved tools, support messages, contact submissions, and application usage records are stored in the production relational database.
- Redis: short-lived cache entries and rate-limit counters may be stored in Redis. Tool input is not intentionally placed in these entries.
- Your browser: the signed session cookie and the local-storage items described above remain on your device.
- Service logs: hosting and reverse-proxy systems process normal request metadata for operations and security.
- Necessary providers: Google processes sign-in, the mail provider processes outgoing replies, and the IP-information, DNS, or registry provider processes a lookup only when you request that backend-assisted tool.
- Advertising providers: Playwire and participating advertising partners may process browser, device, network, page-view, consent, and ad-interaction information when display advertising is enabled on a public page.
The exact physical region may depend on the active hosting or provider configuration. Contact us if you need the current provider or transfer details for a legal or procurement review.
Why we use information
- Provide sign-in, saved tools, profiles, and the support inbox
- Complete network lookups requested by the user
- Reply to messages and investigate corrections, abuse, or security reports
- Prevent automated abuse, diagnose failures, and protect the service
- Understand aggregate feature use and improve navigation
- Meet legal obligations and enforce our terms
it.you does not directly sell account records, support messages, or values entered into browser-side tools. Advertising providers may process or share advertising data as described in their own notices and the choices presented by the consent platform.
Advertising
Display advertising is provided through Playwire RAMP on public pages. Playwire and its advertising partners may use cookies, pixels, IP addresses, device or browser details, approximate location, page context, consent choices, and ad interactions to deliver, measure, secure, and—where permitted—personalize advertising. RAMP includes a consent-management platform for applicable regions. See the Cookie Policy, our Advertising Disclosure, and Playwire’s Privacy Policy. Push-notification and affiliate scripts remain disabled.
Retention and deletion
Account records are kept while the account is active. Support, security, and technical records are retained only as reasonably needed for their purpose, dispute handling, service protection, backups, or legal requirements; the exact period can vary by record and hosting layer. You can request account deletion through the Data Deletion page. Aggregate information that no longer identifies an account may remain.
Your choices
You may use most tools without an account, clear cookies or local storage in your browser, edit available profile fields, and request access, correction, or deletion of account information. Browser or network controls can block JavaScript or requests, but doing so may disable tools or account features.
