Privacy Policy
Last updated: June 19, 2026
At Enginewheels, accessible from https://enginewheels.com, one of our main priorities is the privacy of our visitors. This Privacy Policy document outlines the types of information collected and recorded by Enginewheels and how we use it. We are dedicated to ensuring a secure, transparent, and private environment, building our utility suite to run locally inside your browser.
If you have additional questions or require more information about our Privacy Policy, do not hesitate to contact us at support@enginewheels.com.
1. General Principle: Privacy by Design
Unlike traditional online utility websites that process your data on remote servers, Enginewheels operates on a **client-side execution model**. This means that when you use our tools (such as the Word Counter, JSON Formatter, Hash Generator, or Base64 Encoder), all processing occurs locally on your computer or mobile device. Your text inputs, source files, password parameters, and images are handled entirely in your browser's active memory session. They are **never** transmitted, uploaded, stored, or processed on our backend servers. This architecture forms the core of our privacy-first design, providing protection against data interception and server-side data leaks.
2. Data Collection and Information We Collect
We do not collect personal information unless you explicitly choose to provide it. Here is how we handle different types of data:
A. Tool Input Data
All data, documents, strings, variables, and images entered into any input field or file uploader on Enginewheels are processed locally in your browser. We do not store, review, compile, or transmit this data. It is deleted as soon as you reload the page, close the browser tab, or clear the input fields.
B. Contact Form Data
If you contact us directly through our Contact Us form or send an email to our support addresses, we receive the personal details you provide. This information typically includes your name, email address, the subject line, and the content of your message. We use this information solely to respond to your support request or feedback, and we do not share it with third-party marketers.
C. Log Files
Enginewheels follows standard procedures for using log files. These files log visitors when they visit websites. Most hosting companies do this as part of their hosting services' analytics. The information collected by log files includes internet protocol (IP) addresses, browser type, Internet Service Provider (ISP), date and time stamps, referring/exit pages, and the number of clicks. This data is not linked to any personally identifiable information. We use it solely to analyze trends, administer the site, track user movement on the website, and gather demographic information.
3. Cookies and Web Beacons
Like any other website, Enginewheels uses "cookies." These cookies are used to store information, including visitors' preferences and the pages on the website that the visitor accessed or visited. This information is used to optimize the user experience by customizing our web page content based on visitors' browser types and other details.
You can choose to disable cookies through your individual browser options. Detailed information about cookie management with specific web browsers can be found at the browsers' respective websites.
4. Third-Party Services and Analytics
We may partner with third-party service providers to help analyze how our site is used. These providers may use cookies or other tracking technologies to compile reports on website activity. We choose partners that respect user privacy, and you can opt out of this tracking using browser privacy controls or extensions.
5. Advertising Partners
We may display limited advertising on our platform to help cover hosting and operational costs. Our ad partners may use cookies and web beacons to serve ads based on your visits to our site and other sites on the internet. These ad networks use automated technologies to measure the effectiveness of their advertisements and personalize the advertising content you see.
Please note that Enginewheels has no access to or control over these cookies used by third-party advertisers. You can consult the respective Privacy Policies of these third-party ad servers for more detailed information and instructions on how to opt-out of certain practices.

8. Children's Privacy Information
Another part of our priority is adding protection for children while using the internet. We encourage parents and guardians to observe, participate in, and/or monitor and guide their online activity.
Enginewheels does not knowingly collect any Personal Identifiable Information from children under the age of 13. If you think that your child provided this kind of information on our website, we strongly encourage you to contact us immediately, and we will do our best efforts to promptly remove such information from our records.
