Privacy Policy

What fewertools collects, where it goes, how long it stays, and what you can ask us to do.

Last reviewed:

Make builds routes, not media. It accepts a written task from an adult, helps confirm the outcome, and returns a route using reviewed tools. It does not upload, fetch, or analyse your files or links.

Who we are

FEWERTOOLS LTD is the operator and data controller for fewertools.com and Fewertools Editions. FEWERTOOLS LTD is registered in England and Wales under company number 17022891. Its registered office is 607 The Almere Flat 607 The Almere, Avebury Boulevard, Milton Keynes, England, MK9 2GG. For privacy questions or requests, email clinton@fewertools.com.

What we collect on the active site

Site analytics and consent

Vercel Analytics and Speed Insights receive normal web request, page, referrer, browser, device, performance, and country-level information so we can understand site reliability and aggregate usage. Google Analytics is loaded by our cookie-consent script only after you select Accept, or when your browser already stores an accepted choice. It can receive page activity, referrer, browser, device, approximate location, and campaign information and can set analytics cookies. We store your accepted or declined choice in browser local storage under ft_cookies. Declining prevents our consent script from loading Google Analytics.

Email subscriptions

Beehiiv is our email processor. If you subscribe to The Drop, we send Beehiiv your email address, a server-recorded consent timestamp, the Drop purpose and consent version, and the signup placement. The public subscription endpoint forces double opt-in, so you must use the confirmation link in Beehiiv's email before the subscription becomes active. Beehiiv also records subscription delivery, open and click activity. A Drop request is only for Fewertools tool news and editorial updates. It does not request Fewertools Editions emails.

Fewertools Editions has a separate collector-email purpose for occasional collection news. The two email purposes were verified against separate Beehiiv publications on 19 August 2026. If you join the collector list, its form sends your email address, the Editions purpose, its own consent version, the signup placement, and a server-recorded consent timestamp only to the reviewed Editions publication. You must use the confirmation link before that subscription becomes active. Joining it does not add you to The Drop. You can leave either audience through the unsubscribe link in any email.

Fewertools Editions

The Editions checkout is not active. The current Editions pages display artwork previews and do not load a payment script, send payment data, or offer a purchase. If verified digital sales open, this policy will identify the active checkout provider, the data it receives, the records returned to FEWERTOOLS LTD, and the applicable retention before checkout is enabled.

Contact and submission forms

If you send a contact, suggestion, or submission form, Fewertools receives the email address, subject, message, form source, and any additional fields you choose to provide. Our server sends that submission through Resend to the Fewertools contact inbox so we can respond and manage the request. Resend is an email-delivery processor for this flow.

Existing account and profile features

Existing directory account features use Supabase authentication and profile storage. Depending on how you sign in, Supabase can process your email address, authentication provider identifiers, session information, and account timestamps. The profile record can include a user ID, handle, display name, avatar URL, bio, role, company, building type, stage, onboarding time, and created and updated timestamps. Authentication sessions are persisted in your browser so you can remain signed in. Google receives data under its own terms if you choose Google sign-in.

Saved stacks

If you are signed out, the active site can save the tool names in your stack in browser local storage under ft-my-stack. If you are signed in, the stack can be synchronized to Supabase with its owner ID, tools, name, monthly cost, slug, visibility, and timestamps. The is_public field defaults to true, so a saved stack and its associated public profile can be publicly readable unless you set the stack to private. You may remove browser storage locally and may ask us to access, correct, make private, or delete account, profile, and saved-stack data.

Fonts, affiliate links, and cookies

Pages request Google Fonts, so the browser can send Google normal network-request information such as an IP address and user agent. Some outbound links are monetised through Skimlinks. Skimlinks and a merchant can receive link, device, referral, and transaction-attribution information and may set affiliate cookies when the affiliate script or link is used. Fewertools may earn a commission without increasing the price you pay. Google Analytics loads only after you select Accept. Skimlinks loads only after you select Accept. Declining prevents Google Analytics from loading. Declining prevents Skimlinks from loading. Third-party destinations still apply their own policies when you visit them.

Active directory AI features

The active directory already uses Anthropic for three features. Chat messages and up to 12 recent messages of chat history, including earlier generated responses, are sent to Anthropic with relevant catalog and system instructions. A stack audit sends the audit stack and context with relevant catalog, regret-pattern, and system context. The how-to feature sends the how-to goal with relevant catalog and system context. Anthropic generates the chat, audit, and how-to responses that Fewertools returns to your browser.

Anthropic states that commercial API data is not used to train its generative models by default, only while Fewertools has not opted in to any Development Partner, training, or model-improvement program. Its current standard commercial API retention is up to 30 days. Flagged inputs and outputs may be retained for up to 2 years, safety classification scores associated with flagged content for up to 7 years, and data associated with feedback submissions for 5 years. Feature-specific retention, safety-review, and legal-retention exceptions can also apply. Do not submit credentials, confidential source material, or personal data that is not needed for the answer.

When Vercel KV rate limiting is configured for chat, Fewertools uses the request's raw IP address to create a chat rate-limit counter in Vercel KV. The counter has a one-hour TTL. The audit and how-to endpoints do not use that KV counter. These active directory AI flows are separate from the Make flows described below.

What we do not collect

  • We do not sell your personal data.
  • We do not currently collect card details or sell products directly through the directory.
  • We do not intentionally collect precise location through the directory.
  • We do not use directory contact messages, accounts, or profiles to train our own models.
  • We do not ask for sensitive identity documents through ordinary contact forms.

Third-party links and services

The active site uses Vercel for hosting and analytics, Google Analytics after consent, Beehiiv for newsletters, Resend for contact email delivery, Supabase for existing authentication and profiles, Google Fonts for typography, and Skimlinks for affiliate attribution. Each service processes data under its own terms and privacy notice. External tool and merchant links take you to services Fewertools does not control, so review their terms and privacy practices before creating an account or making a transaction.

See the Affiliate Disclosure for more information about compensated links.

Your rights

You may ask for access to, correction of, or deletion of personal data Fewertools controls, including account, profile, saved-stack, contact, and support records, and you may object to or restrict processing where applicable. You can unsubscribe from Beehiiv emails through any newsletter, remove local stack data and consent choices from browser storage, and ask us to delete Supabase account, profile, or saved-stack data. Email clinton@fewertools.com to make a request. We may need enough information to verify the request and locate the relevant record.

How Make handles your task

Nothing is sent to an AI provider while you type. Your task description is sent to Fewertools only after you select Find my route. Fewertools sends the minimum task text and route instructions to the paid Gemini API when a reviewed local match is not enough. Gemini may interpret the task and help assemble an allowlisted route.

Fewertools does not store the raw task after interpretation. A confirmed structured outcome and the answers you choose can be used to assemble the route. Make does not upload, fetch, or analyse your files or links, and it does not receive credentials or access tokens for any recommended tool.

Projects stay in your browser

Your projects, steps, notes, and progress stay in browser storage on your device. Starting or updating a project does not create a Fewertools account or synchronize the project to a Fewertools database. Deleting a project removes it from that browser. Clearing browser storage can also remove it, and Fewertools cannot restore it.

Gemini processing and retention

Google states that content sent through its paid Gemini API is not used to improve Google products. Google may retain prompts, context, and output for 55 days for abuse monitoring. Content flagged by its safety systems may be reviewed by authorized personnel, and legal or policy exceptions can apply. Fewertools has not enabled a separate zero data retention arrangement.

Do not include passwords, payment details, private keys, health details, or personal data that is not needed to choose a route. Google has not published an exact processing location for every paid Gemini API request, so Fewertools does not claim that this processing remains in the United Kingdom.

Optional current research preview

Google Search grounding runs only after separate explicit consent. It returns a read-only preview using Google's complete provider block and search suggestions. Fewertools does not use that preview to assemble, rank, start, or save a route, and does not track individual preview links.

Google states that Search grounding retains the prompt, context, and output for 30 days and that this storage cannot be disabled. Fewertools does not persist the preview in your project.

Content-free protection records

Fewertools records content-free security, rate, replay, reliability, and cost fields so it can prevent abuse and enforce the monthly provider budget. Operational rows are content-free. They do not contain your task, route, notes, project content, or provider response. These operational records are deleted within 90 days unless a shorter technical deadline applies or the law requires a limited record to be kept longer.

Make uses an invisible browser challenge, server verification, request limits, one active provider request per protected visitor, replay rejection, and a hard monthly provider-spend cap. Normal hosting request data and the site analytics described earlier in this policy can still apply to a page visit.

What this Make release does not add

This Make release does not add accounts, an analytics event stream, payments, subscriptions, sync, or affiliate ranking. It also does not add file upload, link ingestion, media generation, or automatic checking. Existing directory accounts, analytics, newsletters, affiliate links, and AI features remain separate and are disclosed earlier in this policy.

Your choices, rights, and age

You can stop before selecting Find my route, decline the optional research preview, delete local projects, and ask Fewertools for access to, correction of, or deletion of personal data it controls by emailing clinton@fewertools.com. Fewertools cannot use a request to delete copies retained independently by Google under its published provider rules.

Make is for people aged 18 or over and is not directed to anyone under 18. FEWERTOOLS LTD offers the service from the United Kingdom. You may use it only where doing so is lawful. See the Make availability and governing terms.

Security

We use HTTPS, restricted service credentials, database access controls, automated request protection, replay controls, and provider-spend limits. No online service can promise absolute security.

Children's privacy

The directory is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect their personal data. Make is restricted to adults aged 18 or over.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy when the site, providers, or legal requirements change. Material changes will be shown here with a new review date.
