Privacy Policy
Your privacy matters. Here's exactly what StudyToolset does - and doesn't do - with your data.
The Short Version
We do not collect, store, or transmit any personal data ourselves. All StudyToolset tools run entirely in your browser. No accounts are required. However, we do use third-party advertising (Google AdSense) which may set cookies on your device.
What Data Is Stored?
Some tools use your browser's localStorage to save your preferences and results locally on your device:
- Exam Countdown Timer - saves your exam list so it persists across page refreshes.
- Reading Speed Test - saves your reading speed history locally to track progress.
- Cookie Consent Preference - saves whether you accepted or declined cookies.
This data never leaves your device. You can clear it at any time by clearing your browser's local storage or site data for this website.
Cookies
StudyToolset itself does not set any first-party tracking cookies. However, our advertising partners may use cookies to serve relevant ads. When you first visit our site, a cookie consent banner will appear asking for your permission before any advertising cookies are set.
Advertising & Google AdSense
StudyToolset may display advertisements served by Google AdSense, a third-party advertising service provided by Google LLC. Google AdSense uses the DoubleClick DART cookie to serve ads based on your visit to this site and other sites on the Internet.
The DART cookie enables Google and its partners to serve ads to you based on your browsing patterns. No personally identifiable information is collected by the DART cookie - it does not track your name, email address, or physical address.
How to Opt Out
You may opt out of personalised advertising at any time:
- Google Ad Settings: https://www.google.com/settings/ads
- DAA Opt-Out: https://www.aboutads.info/choices/
- NAI Opt-Out: https://optout.networkadvertising.org/

Third-Party Ad Vendors
Third-party ad vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this website or other websites. You can review and control the use of cookies by visiting the links above. We do not have access to or control over cookies set by third-party advertisers.
Your Rights Under GDPR (European Users)
If you are located in the European Economic Area (EEA), United Kingdom, or Switzerland, you have rights under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Since StudyToolset does not collect personal data directly, most of these rights relate to data processed by our advertising partners:
- Right to access: You can request information about what data Google holds about you via Google's Data & Privacy page
- Right to erasure: You can request deletion of your Google advertising profile data
- Right to object: You can opt out of personalised advertising at any time using the opt-out links listed above or through our cookie consent banner
- Right to data portability: You can download your Google data via Google Takeout
- Right to withdraw consent: You can withdraw cookie consent at any time by clearing your browser's localStorage for this site
Our cookie consent banner ensures that advertising cookies are only set after you provide explicit consent, in compliance with GDPR requirements. If you decline cookies, only essential functionality will be available.
If you believe your data protection rights have been violated, you have the right to lodge a complaint with your local Data Protection Authority (DPA).
Your Rights Under CCPA (California Users)
If you are a California resident, the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) provides you with specific rights regarding your personal information:
- Right to know: You can request what personal information is collected about you. StudyToolset does not directly collect personal information - any data collection occurs through third-party advertising partners
- Right to delete: You can request the deletion of any personal information held about you
- Right to opt-out: You can opt out of the "sale" of personal information. We do not sell personal information, but third-party ad cookies may constitute a "sale" under CCPA. Use the opt-out links above or decline cookies via our banner
- Right to non-discrimination: We will not discriminate against you for exercising any of your CCPA rights
To exercise any of these rights, contact us at support@studytoolset.com.
International Users
StudyToolset is used by students worldwide. If you are accessing this site from outside India, please be aware that any data processed by third-party advertising partners may be transferred to and processed in countries outside your own, including the United States. By using this site and accepting cookies, you consent to this transfer.
Third-Party Services
StudyToolset loads the following external resources:
- Google Fonts - for typography (Inter and Outfit typefaces). Google's font service may log standard access data. See Google Fonts Privacy.
- jsPDF library (CDN) - used by the Study Planner for client-side PDF generation. No data is sent to the CDN beyond a standard file request.
Children's Privacy
StudyToolset is designed for students aged 13 and above (or 16 in certain EU member states where GDPR sets a higher age of consent). We comply with the US Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) and do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you are under 13 (or under 16 in applicable EU countries), please use this site only with the supervision of a parent or guardian. If we become aware that we have inadvertently collected data from a child under the applicable age, we will take steps to delete it promptly.
Changes to This Policy
If we update this privacy policy, we will post the revised version on this page with an updated date. For significant changes, we will display a notice on the homepage.
