1. Introduction

Welcome to UtilityAIWorkspace ("we," "our," or "us"). We are committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you visit our website and use our tools. Please read this policy carefully. If you disagree with its terms, please discontinue use of the site.

2. Information We Collect

2.1 How Tool Data Is Handled

UtilityAIWorkspace tools fall into three categories, each with a different data flow:

• <strong>Local tools</strong> (PDF, image, video, audio, file, text, conversion, code, design, productivity, and finance tools) process your files or text entirely in your browser and do not send that content to UtilityAIWorkspace's servers. UtilityAIWorkspace does not use local tool inputs or outputs to build a user profile.
• <strong>AI writing and image tools</strong> send the prompt you enter to UtilityAIWorkspace's servers over HTTPS so the model can generate a response. The prompt and the generated response are retained as conversation history in our database. If you are signed in, this history is linked to your account and persists across sessions so the assistant can maintain context between visits; if you are not signed in, your messages are still processed and retained on the server but are not linked to an account or shown back to you. They are not used by UtilityAIWorkspace to build a user profile. See Section 4.1 for full retention details.
• <strong>QR and barcode tools</strong> send the content you encode (such as a URL, WiFi password, or contact details) to the third-party services that render your code, included in the request URL. Avoid encoding sensitive personal data.

In short: local tool content stays on your device; AI prompts are sent to and retained by UtilityAIWorkspace; QR/barcode content is sent to the named third-party rendering service.

2.2 Automatically Collected Information

When you visit UtilityAIWorkspace, Hostinger — the platform that hosts this website and operates the infrastructure that delivers and protects it — processes technical request logs to deliver pages, protect the site, and troubleshoot errors. These logs may include your IP address, the page requested, the time of the request, the referring URL, and browser and device information. These are operational logs; UtilityAIWorkspace does not currently use a separate website analytics service. Hostinger retains these technical request logs for as long as is necessary to provide its services and to comply with its legal obligations; the retention period therefore varies under Hostinger's applicable retention practices rather than a single fixed duration. For details about Hostinger's processing, see Hostinger's Privacy Policy. We do not describe an IP address as anonymized unless it is actually anonymized before storage.

2.3 Cookies and Tracking Technologies

UtilityAIWorkspace does not operate its own cookie consent banner. Advertising consent is managed by Google's Funding Choices consent management framework, which the site loads. Please see the Cookie Policy tab and Section 5.1 for details.

3. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect to:

• Provide, operate, and maintain our website and tools
• Process AI-powered tool requests (text and images) via our server-side API
• Prevent fraudulent activity and ensure site security
• Display relevant advertisements through Google AdSense
• Comply with legal obligations

4. Data Storage and Security

Local tools process data entirely within your browser — your files and text never leave your device and are not stored by UtilityAIWorkspace. For AI-powered features (AI Writing, AI Image Generation), the prompt you enter and the generated response (including generated images) are transmitted securely over HTTPS to UtilityAIWorkspace's servers and retained as conversation history in our database. If you are signed in, this history is linked to your account and loaded back so the assistant can maintain context across sessions; if you are not signed in, your messages are still processed and retained on the server but are not linked to an account or shown back to you. We do not use AI prompts or responses to build a user profile.

4.1 AI Conversation History Retention

UtilityAIWorkspace does not currently enforce a verified fixed retention period for AI conversation history (prompts and generated responses, including generated images). No automatic deletion schedule or time-to-live is configured; records remain stored in our database until manually removed. Because no verified retention period is available, you should assume AI prompts and responses may be retained indefinitely. If you are signed in, your conversation history is associated with your account; if you are not signed in, it is retained on the server but not linked to an account or shown back to you. To minimise retention of sensitive content, avoid entering confidential or personal information into the AI tools.

We cannot verify whether our upstream AI model provider retains or trains on submitted prompts; if this matters to you, avoid entering confidential or sensitive information into the AI tools.

We implement appropriate technical and organizational security measures to protect information that is transmitted or stored. However, no method of transmission over the Internet is 100% secure.

5. Advertising and Third-Party Services

UtilityAIWorkspace is a free service supported by advertising revenue. We participate in Google AdSense, which allows Google and its partners to display advertisements on our website. Third-party vendors, including Google, may use cookies — such as the DoubleClick (DART) cookie — to serve and measure ads based on a user's prior visits to this and other websites, subject to the user's consent choices and available ad settings. Where consent is not granted under an applicable framework, advertising scripts do not load and no advertising cookies are set. You can opt out of personalised advertising at any time via the controls described in this section.

5.1 Google AdSense

Advertising partners operate separately from UtilityAIWorkspace's tools. UtilityAIWorkspace does not display its own accept/decline cookie banner. Instead, the site loads Google's Funding Choices consent management framework (the "googlefc" script). The consent message visitors see — a GDPR message for the EEA, UK, and Switzerland, and a US-state-regulations message where one applies — is created, configured, and published in the Google AdSense "Privacy & messaging" dashboard, which is an account-side action UtilityAIWorkspace cannot perform from its site code. The Google AdSense advertising script (Publisher ID: ca-pub-9239681256960094) loads only after Google's consent framework reports that consent data is ready and, where the IAB TCF v2 framework applies, that the visitor has granted consent for the "store and/or access information on a device" purpose. Where GDPR applies and consent is not granted, advertising scripts do not load. Where no GDPR framework applies, the AdSense tag loads and serves ads in line with the applicable US-state-regulations (GPP) opt-out, which AdSense handles automatically. Tool processing (local, AI, and QR/barcode) is described in Section 2 and does not depend on, or feed into, advertising.

We are a Google AdSense publisher (Publisher ID: ca-pub-9239681256960094). When consent is granted through the applicable message, the AdSense script loads according to the user's consent choices. Google may use information from its DoubleClick cookie and other data it holds to serve ads based on your prior visits to this and other websites.

You may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ad Settings or by visiting optout.aboutads.info. Opting out of personalized advertising affects the ads Google shows you across sites. To change the consent choice you made through Google's consent message, use the Cookie Settings control in the footer, which opens Google's consent-revocation flow.

5.1.1 Consent mechanism and regional requirements

Google's Funding Choices consent management framework is the mechanism UtilityAIWorkspace uses for advertising consent. The site loads the googlefc script; the consent message itself is configured and published in the Google AdSense "Privacy & messaging" dashboard. Configuring and publishing that message — including selecting the GDPR message for the EEA, UK, and Switzerland and the US-state-regulations message — is an account-side action that must be completed in the AdSense account and cannot be done from UtilityAIWorkspace's site code. Until a message is published in the AdSense account, no consent message is displayed.

The Cookie Settings control in the footer lets visitors revisit or change their consent choice: it invokes Google's consent-revocation flow (googlefc.showRevocationMessage) when the Google consent API is available. These controls address advertising consent only and do not establish that UtilityAIWorkspace as a whole complies with GDPR, CCPA, or any other law. For legal advice, consult qualified counsel.

Google notes that some consent-message status changes can take up to 48 hours to clear after adoption. This description covers advertising-consent controls only and does not claim that UtilityAIWorkspace as a whole complies with GDPR, CCPA, or any other legal requirement. For legal advice, consult qualified counsel.

5.2 Advertising Disclosure

Advertisements displayed on UtilityAIWorkspace are clearly labeled and are served by Google and its advertising partners. We do not endorse the products or services advertised. Advertising revenue helps us keep all tools free for our users. We have no editorial influence over which specific ads are shown.

5.3 QR and Barcode Rendering Services

QR code and barcode tools generate images through third-party rendering services. The content you encode — such as a URL, WiFi password, or contact details — is included in the request URL sent to these services so they can render your code. These services may log request data per their own privacy policies. Avoid encoding sensitive personal data in QR codes or barcodes. All other tool processing happens locally in your browser.

5.4 Third-Party Links

Our website may contain links to external websites. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those sites and encourage you to review their privacy policies.

6. Data Sharing and Disclosure

We do not sell, trade, or rent your personal information to third parties. We may share information in limited circumstances:

• Service Providers: Trusted third-party vendors who assist in operating our website, bound by confidentiality agreements.
• Legal Requirements: When required by law, court order, or governmental authority.
• Business Transfers: In connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets.
• Protection of Rights: To protect the rights, property, or safety of UtilityAIWorkspace, our users, or the public.

7. Your Rights

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have the following rights regarding your personal data:

• Right to Access: Request a copy of the personal data we hold about you.
• Right to Correction: Request correction of inaccurate or incomplete data.
• Right to Deletion: Request deletion of your personal data under certain circumstances.
• Right to Object: Object to our processing of your personal data.
• Right to Data Portability: Request transfer of your data to another service.
• Right to Withdraw Consent: Withdraw consent where processing is based on consent.

To exercise any of these rights, please contact us using the information below. Because most tools process data locally in your browser and do not transmit it to UtilityAIWorkspace, the only personal data UtilityAIWorkspace holds about you is AI conversation history (if you have used the AI writing or image tools) and the technical request logs processed by Hostinger. Anonymous AI history is not linked to an account, which can make it difficult to locate and act on; providing the approximate date and time you used an AI tool helps us identify the relevant records.

7.1 Visitors in the European Union, the European Economic Area, and the United Kingdom (GDPR)

If you visit UtilityAIWorkspace from the EU, the EEA, or the UK, the following describes how your data is handled under the practices verified in our implementation:

• Legal basis for advertising: UtilityAIWorkspace displays advertising through Google AdSense. For visitors in GDPR regions, the Google AdSense script loads only after Google's Funding Choices consent management framework reports that consent data is ready and that you have granted consent for at least the "store and/or access information on a device" purpose (IAB TCF v2 purpose 1). If you do not grant consent where GDPR applies, advertising scripts do not load and no advertising cookies are set. You can change your choice at any time using the Cookie Settings control in the footer, which opens Google's consent-revocation flow.
• Legal basis for AI processing: When you voluntarily submit a prompt to an AI writing or image tool, UtilityAIWorkspace processes that prompt to generate your response. The prompt and the generated response are retained as conversation history. If you are signed in, this history is linked to your account; if you are not signed in, it is retained on the server but not linked to an account.
• Local tools: Tools that process files or text locally in your browser (PDF, image, video, audio, file, text, conversion, code, design, productivity, and finance tools) do not send that content to UtilityAIWorkspace's servers, so no personal data from those tools is transmitted or stored by UtilityAIWorkspace.
• Data retention: UtilityAIWorkspace does not currently enforce a verified fixed retention period for AI conversation history, and no automatic deletion schedule is configured; records may be retained until manually removed. Hostinger retains technical request logs for as long as necessary to provide its services and comply with its legal obligations, under Hostinger's applicable retention practices rather than a single fixed duration.
• Your GDPR rights: You may request access to, correction of, or deletion of the personal data we hold about you, object to its processing, and withdraw consent for advertising at any time. To exercise these rights, contact us at the email below. We will respond in accordance with applicable law; however, because we cannot verify a fixed retention period or an automated deletion process, we cannot guarantee immediate or complete erasure of all retained records, particularly anonymous AI history that is not linked to an account.

The consent and advertising controls described here address advertising consent only. UtilityAIWorkspace does not assert that it is GDPR-compliant or that Google's Funding Choices framework is Google-certified for UtilityAIWorkspace's specific configuration; the consent message itself is created and published in the Google AdSense "Privacy & messaging" dashboard, which is an account-side action. For legal advice, consult qualified counsel.

7.2 Visitors in California (CCPA / CPRA)

If you are a California resident, the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), as amended by the CPRA, gives you certain rights regarding your personal information. The following describes the categories of personal information UtilityAIWorkspace collects and how you can exercise your rights, based on our verified implementation:

• Categories of personal information collected: (a) Technical request data — IP address, pages requested, timestamps, referring URL, and browser/device information — processed by Hostinger as operational logs when you visit the site. (b) AI conversation history — the prompts you submit and the responses generated when you use the AI writing or image tools. (c) QR and barcode content you encode, which is sent to third-party rendering services in the request URL.
• Sale of personal information: UtilityAIWorkspace does not sell your personal information to third parties and does not process personal information for monetary or other valuable consideration in a way that constitutes a "sale" under the CCPA. Because we do not sell personal information, there is no "Do Not Sell My Personal Information" opt-out to exercise.
• Targeted advertising and opt-out: When you grant consent through Google's consent message, Google AdSense and its partners may use cookies (including the DoubleClick cookie) to serve and measure ads based on your activity across websites. You can opt out of personalized advertising at any time via Google Ad Settings or the Digital Advertising Alliance opt-out page. The Cookie Settings control in the footer opens Google's consent-revocation flow so you can revisit your choice. Where no GDPR framework applies, AdSense serves ads in line with the applicable US-state-regulations (GPP) opt-out, which AdSense handles automatically.
• Your CCPA rights: You may request that we disclose the categories and specific pieces of personal information we have collected about you, request deletion of that information, and opt out of the sale of personal information (not applicable, as we do not sell it). To submit a request, contact us at the email below. Because anonymous AI history is not linked to an account, providing the approximate date and time you used an AI tool helps us locate the relevant records. We cannot guarantee immediate or complete erasure of all retained records, as no verified automated deletion process is configured.

The controls described here address advertising and the personal information UtilityAIWorkspace directly holds. They do not establish that UtilityAIWorkspace as a whole is CCPA-compliant. For legal advice, consult qualified counsel.

8. Children's Privacy

Our services are not directed to individuals under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If we become aware that a child under 13 has provided personal information, we will take steps to delete it.

9. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of significant changes by updating the "Last updated" date at the top of this page.
