Privacy & Terms
How we handle your data and the terms of using our tools. Last updated: May 2026 · Version 1.1
Privacy Policy
At Prompt Toolbox, we believe in privacy by design. Our tools are built to run as much as possible directly in your browser, minimizing the data we collect or process. This Privacy Policy explains what data we collect, how we use it, and your rights as a user.
This policy is governed by Costa Rican Law No. 8968 – Protection in the Handling of the Personal Data of Individuals and its implementing regulations (Decree No. 37554-JP). Where applicable to users in the European Union or United Kingdom, we also aim to comply with the principles of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the UK GDPR.
1.What We Collect and How We Use It
Client-Side Tools
Tools like our Token Counter and Context Window Visualizer run completely locally in your browser. The text you paste into these tools never leaves your device and is not transmitted to any server. We do not collect, store, or process this data in any way.
AI-Powered Tools
For tools that require an AI model to function (such as the Prompt Generator), your input text is transmitted over encrypted HTTPS connections to our backend servers, which then forward it to third-party AI providers (such as Anthropic) to generate the response. We do not store your inputs or outputs, and we do not use them to train any models.
Rate Limiting & Security
To prevent abuse of our free AI-powered tools, we temporarily process IP addresses using Upstash Redis. This data is used strictly for rate limiting (capping the number of requests per day) and is automatically purged. IP address data expires within 24 hours. This processing is carried out under a legitimate interest basis to ensure the stability and security of the service.
Server Logs
Our hosting provider (Vercel) automatically collects standard server logs, which may include IP addresses, browser type, and timestamp data. These logs are used solely for monitoring site performance and security and are retained for up to 30 days, after which they are deleted automatically.
Advertising
This site uses Google AdSense to display ads. Google may use cookies (including the DoubleClick DART cookie) to serve personalized ads based on your visits to this and other websites. This data is collected and processed by Google acting as an independent data controller. You can opt out of personalized advertising at any time via Google Ads Settings.
We do not collect sensitive personal data (as defined under Costa Rican Law No. 8968), such as racial origin, political opinions, religious beliefs, health or genetic information, or sexual orientation.
2.Legal Basis for Processing
We process personal data only to the extent necessary and under the following legal bases:
- Legitimate interest – for IP-based rate limiting and server log collection, necessary to maintain service security and prevent abuse.
- Consent – for the placement of advertising cookies by Google AdSense. You may withdraw consent at any time via the opt-out link above.
- Contractual necessity – for transmitting user inputs to third-party AI providers when you actively use our AI-powered tools.
3.Data Retention
| Data Type | Retention Period |
|---|---|
| Input text (AI tools) | Not stored — processed in transit only |
| IP addresses (rate limiting) | Auto-deleted after 24 hours (Upstash Redis TTL) |
| Server logs (Vercel) | Up to 30 days |
| Advertising cookies (Google) | Governed by Google's own retention policy |
4.Third-Party Services
We use the following trusted third-party providers:
- Anthropic – AI model provider for tools like the Prompt Generator. Input text is processed by Anthropic under their Privacy Policy. Anthropic does not use API data to train their base models.
- Vercel – Hosting and infrastructure provider.
- Upstash – Redis-based rate limiting.
- Google AdSense / DoubleClick – Advertising services. See Google's Privacy & Terms and Advertising Policy.
We are not responsible for the privacy practices of any external websites we may link to. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any third-party sites you visit.
5.Cookies and Tracking
Prompt Toolbox does not require user accounts or logins, and we do not store personally identifiable profile data on our end.
| Cookie Source | Purpose | Type |
|---|---|---|
| Google AdSense / DoubleClick | Personalized advertising | Third-party, optional |
We do not set any first-party tracking cookies. We do not track you across other websites.
By continuing to use this site, you consent to the use of advertising cookies as described above. You may opt out at any time via Google Ads Settings or by adjusting your browser's cookie settings.
6.International Data Transfers
Your data may be processed on servers located outside of Costa Rica (for example, on Vercel's infrastructure or Anthropic's servers in the United States). Where such transfers occur, they are carried out with appropriate safeguards in place, consistent with the requirements of Costa Rican Law No. 8968 and, where applicable, the GDPR.
7.Your Rights
Under Costa Rican Law No. 8968 and applicable international regulations, you have the following rights regarding your personal data:
- Right of Access – You may request confirmation of whether we hold any personal data about you and receive a copy of that data.
- Right of Rectification – You may request correction of any inaccurate or incomplete data we hold.
- Right of Cancellation / Erasure – You may request deletion of your personal data where it is no longer necessary for the purposes for which it was collected.
- Right of Opposition – You may object to the processing of your personal data under certain circumstances.
- Right to Data Portability – Where applicable, you may request that we provide your data in a structured, machine-readable format.
To exercise any of these rights, please contact us at: prompt.toolbox.ai@gmail.com
We will respond to all requests within 30 business days in accordance with applicable law. If you believe your rights have been violated, you may also file a complaint with Costa Rica's data protection authority:
PRODHAB – Agencia de Protección de Datos de los Habitantes

8.Children's Privacy
Prompt Toolbox is not directed to children under the age of 13 (or under 16 where required by applicable law). We do not knowingly collect personal data from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal data, please contact us at prompt.toolbox.ai@gmail.com and we will promptly delete such information.
9.Data Security
We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect your data against unauthorized access, loss, or misuse. All data transmissions between your browser and our servers use HTTPS encryption. However, no method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
In the event of a data breach that may affect your rights and freedoms, we will notify the relevant authorities and affected users in accordance with applicable law, including the 5-business-day breach notification requirement under Costa Rican regulations.
