Cookies and Tracking
Google Analytics
We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors interact with our website. This service uses cookies to collect information such as:
- Pages visited

You can opt out of Google Analytics by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
Affiliate Link Tracking
When you click on affiliate links to recommended tools, those companies may use cookies to track referrals. This helps us earn commissions when you make purchases, but we don't receive any of your personal information from these companies.

We do not sell, rent, or share your personal information with third parties, except in the following cases:
- When required by law or legal process
- To protect our rights or the safety of others
- With service providers who help us operate our website (like hosting providers)
- In connection with a business transfer (merger, acquisition, etc.)
Affiliate Program Disclosure
ToolMatched participates in various affiliate programs. When you click our links and make purchases, we may earn commissions. However, this never affects our recommendations - we only promote tools we genuinely believe are valuable for freelancers.
Data Security
We implement appropriate security measures to protect your information against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. However, no internet transmission is 100% secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.
Your Rights
You have the right to:
- Request access to your personal information
- Request correction of inaccurate information
- Request deletion of your information
- Opt out of communications from us
- Disable cookies in your browser
Children's Privacy
