Privacy

What we collect

Nothing, in the ordinary sense. There is no sign-up, no login, no newsletter, and no contact form. We do not set cookies and we do not store anything in your browser — no local storage, no session storage, nothing that persists after you close the tab.

What happens to what you type

The measurements, weights and prices you enter into a calculator, and the tracking status you paste into the decoder, are used by code running on your own device and are never transmitted to us. Close the tab and they are gone. This is not a policy promise about how we handle your data; it is a description of the fact that we never receive it.

The tracking decoder additionally strips anything that looks like a tracking number, phone number or email address out of the text you paste before it is shown back to you. That happens locally too.

Analytics

There is no analytics provider connected to this site. The code contains a measurement layer that is deliberately switched off, and it is written so that it refuses — by throwing an error rather than by silently dropping data — to record package dimensions, weights, prices or any pasted text. If we ever turn measurement on, it will be limited to which pages are used, this page will say so, and the date above will change.

Third parties

There are none. No advertising, no trackers, no embedded widgets, no social buttons, and no web fonts loaded from anyone else’s server. The site is configured to refuse connections to other domains outright, so a third-party script could not run here even if one were added by mistake.

Our host

The site is served by Cloudflare. Like any web host, their servers necessarily see the ordinary technical details of a request — your IP address, your browser’s user agent, and which page you asked for — in order to deliver the page and to protect the site from abuse. That is handled under Cloudflare’s privacy policy. We do not add anything to it and we do not build profiles from it.

Links to carriers

Pages here link to carriers’ own websites, and quote from them so you can see the wording we are relying on. Once you follow a link you are on that carrier’s site under their terms and their privacy policy, not ours.

Children

This is a shipping utility with no accounts and no data collection. It is not directed at children, and since we collect nothing from anyone, we collect nothing from children either.

Changes

If this page changes, the date at the top changes with it. The commitments here describe how the site is actually built, so a meaningful change to them means a change to the code as well.

Contact

My Shipping Tools is operated by EDW Ventures. To reach us, or to tell us something on the site is wrong, use Report a problem. That page builds an email in your own mail app — it does not collect anything here.
