This Privacy Policy describes how Nippy.tools (“we,” “us,” or “our”) collect, use, and share information when you use https://nippy.tools and related subdomains and services (the “Site”).

We run a small, self-hosted site. We do not sell personal information.

On the forum, the software may store IP addresses associated with registrations, posts, or moderation actions.

Cookies and similar technology

We do not currently use third-party advertising cookies. If that changes, we will update this policy.

We may use server logs or a self-hosted analytics package to see aggregate page views. We do not use that data to sell ads. If you do not run analytics beyond raw logs, that sentence still fits.

We do not sell personal information and we do not share it for cross-context behavioral advertising.

6. Security

We use HTTPS and standard access controls on the host and applications. No method of transmission or storage is perfectly secure. Do not send passwords or secrets to us in ordinary email.

7. Children

The Site is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe we have, email abuse@nippy.tools and we will delete it.

8. Your choices

To request access, correction, or deletion of personal information we hold, email abuse@nippy.tools. We may need to verify the request. We will not delete information we must keep for security, abuse response, or law.

9. U.S. state privacy notes

If you are a resident of a state that grants consumer privacy rights (including, where applicable, Minnesota), you may have the right to know, correct, or delete personal information, and to appeal a refusal. Email abuse@nippy.tools. We will not discriminate against you for exercising a privacy right.

These rights may not apply if we are below the law’s applicability thresholds. We still try to honor reasonable requests.

We do not sell personal information. We do not use sensitive data to infer characteristics about you for advertising.

10. Visitors outside the United States

The Site is operated from the United States. If you visit from another country, you understand that your information is processed in the U.S., which may have different data-protection rules than your home country.

If we are required to name a lawful basis for EU/UK processing, we rely on: (a) our legitimate interests in running a small public website, measuring redirects, and stopping abuse; (b) performance of a contract when you hold an account; and (c) consent where we ask for it.

11. Changes

We may update this policy by posting a new version on this page. The “Last updated” date will change.
