Privacy Policy

Last updated: [Dec 7, 2025]

This Privacy Policy describes how FireSafetyToolkit.com (the “Site”, “we”, “us”, or “our”) collects and uses information in connection with your use of the Site.

At the present time, the Site is accessible free of charge and without registration, and we do not ask you to create an account or submit your name, email address, or other direct contact details in order to use the Site.

By using the Site, you agree to the practices described in this Privacy Policy.

  1. Information We Collect

1.1. Information you provide to us voluntarily

Currently, you can use the Site and its tools without creating an account and without providing any personal details.

If you choose to contact us voluntarily (for example, by sending us an email), we will receive the information you provide, such as:

  • your email address,
  • the content of your message, and
  • any other information you choose to include.

We will use this information solely to respond to your inquiry and manage our communications with you.

1.2. Technical and usage information (server logs)

Like most websites, our hosting provider may automatically collect and store certain technical information in server logs when you access the Site. This may include:

  • IP address and approximate location (e.g., country or city),
  • browser type and version,
  • operating system,
  • referring URL,
  • date and time of access,
  • pages viewed and actions taken on the Site.

This information is used to maintain the security and technical performance of the Site, to investigate and prevent abuse, and to understand basic usage patterns in an aggregated way.

1.3. Analytics information (Google Analytics)

We use Google Analytics (“GA”), a web analytics service provided by Google LLC (or its affiliates), to help us understand how visitors use the Site and to improve our content and tools. Google Analytics uses cookies and similar technologies to collect information such as:

  • pages visited and time spent on each page,
  • clicks and interactions with content,
  • approximate location (based on IP‑derived geolocation),
  • device and browser information (e.g., device type, operating system, browser type and version).

In Google Analytics 4, IP addresses are used at collection time to derive coarse location information (for example, city or country) and then discarded, while location and device data are retained in an aggregated form for reporting.

We use these analytics data in an aggregated manner to:

  • monitor traffic and performance,
  • understand which pages and tools are most useful,
  • detect technical issues, and
  • improve the Site and its content.

We do not use Google Analytics for personalized advertising or remarketing at this time.

  1. Cookies and Similar Technologies

2.1. What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files stored on your device by your browser when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work, to enable certain features, and to provide analytics or other services.

2.2. Cookies we use

Currently, the main cookies in use on the Site are analytics cookies set by Google Analytics. Typical examples include cookies like _ga and related identifiers, which help us distinguish one visitor from another and understand how the Site is used over time. Some of these cookies can remain on your device for up to two years, unless deleted earlier through your browser settings.

We may also use strictly necessary cookies that are required for basic operation and security of the Site (for example, load balancing or protection against abuse). These cookies are not used for profiling or advertising.

We do not currently use cookies for:

  • targeted or behavioral advertising, or
  • social media tracking.

2.3. Your choices regarding cookies and analytics

Depending on your location, you may see a cookie banner or similar notice when you first visit the Site, giving you options regarding analytics cookies.

You can also manage cookies and analytics in several ways:

  • Browser settings: You can configure your browser to block or delete cookies. Please note that disabling cookies may affect the functionality of some websites.
  • Google Analytics opt‑out: Google provides a browser add‑on that allows you to opt out of Google Analytics tracking on many websites:

If you are located in the European Economic Area (EEA), the UK, Switzerland, or other regions with similar laws, we will seek your consent for non‑essential analytics cookies where required by applicable law.

  1. How We Use Information

We use the information described above for the following purposes:

  • to operate, maintain, and improve the Site and its technical infrastructure;
  • to understand how visitors use the Site and which content and tools are most relevant;
  • to monitor, detect, and prevent security incidents and abuse;
  • to respond to inquiries that you send us voluntarily (e.g., by email);
  • to comply with legal obligations and enforce our Terms of Use.

We do not sell your personal information to third parties.

  1. Legal Bases for Processing (EEA/UK users)

If you are in the EEA, UK, or a jurisdiction with similar data protection laws, our legal bases for processing information may include:

  • Consent – for setting and reading non‑essential cookies (such as analytics cookies) where required by law;
  • Legitimate interests – to operate a secure and reliable website, to understand and improve how our Site is used, and to respond to your voluntary communications, in a way that we believe is proportionate and respects your privacy rights.

You have the right to withdraw your consent at any time, for example by changing your cookie preferences or using the tools described above.

  1. Sharing of Information

We do not rent or sell your personal information.

We may share information in the following limited circumstances:

  • Service providers: We use third‑party service providers such as hosting providers and Google Analytics, who process data on our behalf to provide infrastructure and analytics services. These providers are only permitted to use the data as needed to perform services for us and must protect it appropriately.
  • Legal compliance and protection: We may disclose information if we believe it is reasonably necessary to comply with a law, regulation, legal process, or governmental request, or to protect the rights, property, or safety of the Site, our users, or others.
  • Aggregated or de‑identified information: We may share aggregated, anonymized statistics (for example, total number of visits to the Site) that do not identify individuals.
  1. Data Retention

We retain technical and analytics information for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, including:

  • operating and securing the Site,
  • understanding and improving usage and performance, and
  • meeting legal, accounting, or reporting requirements.

Google Analytics retains event‑level data for a limited period configurable in your GA settings (for example, several months), after which data may be stored only in aggregated form for reporting.

If you contact us by email, we may retain your message and our reply for a reasonable time, for example to follow up on your request or maintain business records.

  1. International Data Transfers

The Site may be accessed from around the world. Our service providers, including Google Analytics, may process data on servers located in various countries. For example, Google may process data in the EU and the United States, depending on your location and its infrastructure.

By using the Site, you understand that your information may be processed in countries with data protection laws that may be different from those in your home jurisdiction. Where required by applicable law, we will take appropriate measures to ensure an adequate level of protection for such transfers.

  1. Security

We take reasonable technical and organizational measures to help protect the Site and any information we handle against accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, or unauthorized access.

However, no method of transmission over the internet or method of electronic storage is completely secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security.

  1. Children’s Privacy

The Site is intended for adult professional users and is not directed to children under the age of 13 (or the minimum age in your jurisdiction). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

If you believe that a child has provided personal information through the Site, please contact us so that we can take appropriate steps to delete such information.

  1. Your Rights

Depending on where you live, you may have certain rights under data protection or privacy laws, which can include:

  • the right to access and obtain a copy of personal information we hold about you;
  • the right to request correction or update of inaccurate information;
  • the right to request deletion of your information in certain circumstances;
  • the right to object to or restrict certain processing;
  • the right to withdraw consent where processing is based on consent.

Because we currently do not operate user accounts and do not intentionally collect identifying information beyond what is described above, our ability to identify and act on specific requests may be limited. If you wish to exercise any rights, you can contact us using the details below, and we will respond in accordance with applicable law.

  1. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time, for example if we introduce user registration, additional cookies, or other features that affect how we process information.

If we make material changes, we will update the “Last updated” date at the top of this page. Your continued use of the Site after such changes become effective constitutes your acceptance of the updated Privacy Policy.
