Privacy Policy

Last updated: April 2025

Information We Collect

Ethio Tools is designed with privacy in mind. We do not collect, store, or share any personal information from our users. When you use our tools, your data stays on your device and is not transmitted to our servers.

The only exceptions are when you voluntarily contact us through our contact information, or when third-party services are integrated into specific tools (such as translation or text-to-speech services), which operate under their own privacy policies.

Cookies and Local Storage

We do not use tracking cookies. Some tools may store small amounts of data in your browser's local storage to remember your preferences, such as your last used settings or recently accessed items. This data remains on your device and can be cleared at any time through your browser settings.

We do not use local storage for advertising, analytics, or any purpose beyond basic tool functionality.

Third-Party Services

Some Ethio Tools features may use third-party services:

  • Translation (Amharic English Translator): Uses the MyMemory translation API. Your text is sent to their servers for processing. Please review their privacy policy at mymemory.translated.net.
  • Text-to-Speech (Amharic TTS): Uses your browser's built-in Web Speech API, which operates entirely on your device.
  • Exchange Rates: Fetches live data from the Commercial Bank of Ethiopia website. We do not control their data practices.

Children's Privacy

Ethio Tools does not knowingly collect personal information from children under the age of 13. Our tools are general-purpose utilities intended for users of all ages. If you believe a child has provided us with personal data, please contact us so we can delete it.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this privacy policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or legal requirements. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated revision date. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.

Contact Us

If you have any questions about this privacy policy or our practices, please reach out to us. We are committed to addressing any concerns you may have about your privacy while using Ethio Tools.
