Privacy Policy

RapidKit ("we", "our", or "us") operates the website located at getrapidkit.me. We provide free online tools for productivity, image editing, developer utilities, and digital marketing.

If you have any questions about this policy, contact us at: privacy@getrapidkit.me

2.1 Information You Provide

We only collect information you voluntarily provide:

• Newsletter subscription: If you subscribe to our newsletter, we collect your email address.
• Contact form: If you contact us, we collect your name and email.

2.2 Automatically Collected Information (Google Analytics)

When you visit RapidKit, we use Google Analytics (GA4) to collect aggregated usage metrics, such as:

• Browser type, device category, and operating system
• Pages visited, time spent, and outbound click events
• Referring website or search query
• Approximate country/city-level location (IP addresses are anonymized by GA4)

This data is collected in aggregated, anonymized form to understand which tools are most useful and cannot be used by us to identify you personally.

2.3 Tool Execution & Network Requests

• Local browser tools (all other tools): Files, images, and text you process (such as image compression, WebP conversion, EXIF removal, JSON/CSV formatting, signatures, passwords, and screen recordings) run locally in your browser and never leave your device.
• YouTube Tag Extractor: When you submit a video, your browser sends the 11-character YouTube video ID to our server endpoint (/api/youtube-tags), which fetches the public YouTube watch page metadata, and your browser loads the preview thumbnail from img.youtube.com.
• YouTube Thumbnail Downloader: Extracts the video ID in your browser and fetches public thumbnail files directly from YouTube's image CDN (img.youtube.com).
• What Is My IP Address?: On page load, your browser makes a direct request to ipapi.co to detect your public IP address, ISP, and approximate city/country location.
• Meta Tag Generator (Social Preview): All HTML tag generation is local; if you switch to the Facebook or Twitter/X card preview tab, your browser renders the Preview Image URL you entered in an <img> tag.
• Payment information: We do not collect any payment details because all tools on RapidKit are free.

We use the information we collect to:

• Operate, maintain, and improve the RapidKit website and tools.
• Send newsletters to subscribers (only with your explicit consent).
• Respond to your inquiries and support requests.
• Measure aggregate tool usage and outbound partner link clicks.
• Comply with legal obligations.

We never sell your personal data to third parties.

RapidKit and our third-party partners use the following types of cookies:

• Essential cookies / local storage: Used only when a tool needs to remember your local preferences in your browser.
• Google Analytics cookies: First-party cookies (such as _ga) used by Google Analytics 4 to distinguish unique visits and measure site performance.
• Affiliate referral cookies: Some pages contain affiliate links to recommended third-party products. If you click an affiliate link, the destination partner or affiliate network may place a referral cookie on your browser to attribute any resulting purchase to RapidKit (at no extra cost to you). RapidKit does not set third-party affiliate cookies until you actively click an external partner link. See our Affiliate Disclosure for full details.

You can control or block cookies at any time through your browser settings or by using the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.

We use the following third-party services, each governed by their own privacy policies:

• Vercel: Website hosting and edge delivery. Vercel Privacy Policy
• Google Analytics & Google AdSense: Traffic analytics and optional display advertising. Google Privacy Policy
• Affiliate Partners: When you click a link marked as a partner/affiliate recommendation, you are taken to an external vendor's website governed by that vendor's privacy policy.

We retain personal data only as long as necessary:

• Newsletter emails: Until you unsubscribe.
• Analytics data: Up to 14 months (anonymized).
• Contact inquiries: Up to 2 years.
