Privacy Policy
Last updated: 2026-07-20
This Privacy Policy describes how usefulspot.com ("we," "us," or "our") handles information in connection with the operation of our website (the "Service").
Your privacy is important to us. It is our policy to respect your privacy regarding any information we may collect while operating our website.
Consent
By using our website, you consent to this Privacy Policy and agree to its terms.
Information We Collect
We do not collect or store personally identifiable information from our visitors. There are no user accounts and no logins on this website, and nothing you do here requires you to give us personal data. Our Service does, however, use third-party services that may collect information about you; those are described below.
Data You Enter Into Our Tools
The tools on this site — our chart makers (bar, line, pie, scatter, box plot, dot plot and histogram), our text counters (word, character and sentence), and our list comparer — run entirely in your browser. The text, numbers and data you type or paste into a tool are processed locally on your device using JavaScript. We do not transmit that input to our servers and we do not store it. Closing or reloading the page discards it.
Log Data & Cookies
Like many site operators, we use third-party services such as Google Analytics that collect information your browser sends whenever you visit our Service ("Log Data"). This Log Data may include your computer's Internet Protocol ("IP") address, browser type, browser version, the pages of our Service that you visit, the time and date of your visit, the time spent on those pages, and other statistics.
Cookies are files with a small amount of data, which may include an anonymous unique identifier. Cookies are sent to your browser from a website and stored on your device. You can instruct your browser to refuse all cookies or to indicate when a cookie is being sent. See our Cookie Policy for the specific cookies used here and how to control them.
Google AdSense
We use Google AdSense, a third-party advertising service, to serve ads when you visit our website. Advertising revenue is what keeps these tools free to use.
- Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on a user's prior visits to our website or other websites.
- Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to our users based on their visit to our site and/or other sites on the Internet.
- You may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google's Ads Settings.
- Alternatively, you can opt out of a third-party vendor's use of cookies for personalized advertising by visiting aboutads.info.
Google Analytics
We use Google Analytics to monitor and analyze the use of our Service. Google Analytics is a web analytics service offered by Google that tracks and reports website traffic. Google uses the data collected to track and monitor the use of our Service. This data is shared with other Google services. Google may use the collected data to contextualize and personalize the ads of its own advertising network.
For more information on the privacy practices of Google, please see the Google Privacy & Terms page.
Your Cookie Choices
We use Google Consent Mode. Analytics and advertising cookies are denied by default for visitors in the European Economic Area until you choose otherwise. You can review or change your choice at any time using the "Cookie Settings" link in the footer of any page.
Your Data Protection Rights (GDPR & CCPA)
Depending on your location, you may have the following rights regarding your personal data:
- The right to access — you may request copies of your personal data.
- The right to rectification — you may request that we correct information you believe is inaccurate, or complete information you believe is incomplete.
- The right to erasure — you may request that we erase your personal data, under certain conditions.
- The right to restrict processing — you may request that we restrict the processing of your personal data, under certain conditions.
- The right to object to processing — you may object to our processing of your personal data, under certain conditions.
- The right to data portability — you may request that we transfer the data we have collected to another organization, or directly to you, under certain conditions.
Because we do not collect personally identifiable information directly, requests regarding data held by our third-party providers (such as Google) should be directed to them. You can manage your advertising preferences and data via the opt-out links provided above.
Residents of California have the right to request information regarding the disclosure of their personal information to third parties for their direct marketing purposes. To make such a request, please contact us.
Links to Other Sites
Our Service contains links to other sites that are not operated by us, including our sister sites listed in the footer. If you click a third-party link, you will be directed to that third party's site. We strongly advise you to review the privacy policy of every site you visit. We have no control over, and assume no responsibility for, the content, privacy policies, or practices of any third-party sites or services.
Children's Privacy
Our Service is not intended for use by anyone under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from children under 13. If you are a parent or guardian and you believe your child has provided us with personal information, please contact us. If we become aware that we have collected personal information from a child under 13 without verification of parental consent, we will take steps to remove that information.
Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page and updating the "Last updated" date above. You are advised to review this Privacy Policy periodically.
Governing Law
This Privacy Policy is governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the United States and the State of Ohio, without regard to its conflict of law principles.
