Last updated: April 16, 2025
This Privacy Policy explains how WAO Tools ("we," "us," or "our"), operated by oNare via onaDev, collects, uses, and protects information when you visit waotools.com (the "Site"). By using the Site, you agree to the practices described here.
1. Information We Collect
Information you provide: If you use our contact form, we collect your name, email address, and the content of your message. This information is used solely to respond to your inquiry and is not stored in any database on our servers.
Local storage data: Many WAO Tools calculators save your inputs (troop formations, artifact configurations, etc.) in your browser's local storage. This data never leaves your device and is not transmitted to our servers.
Automatically collected information: When you visit the Site, standard web technologies may automatically collect certain information, such as your IP address, browser type, operating system, referring URLs, and pages visited. This data is collected via third-party analytics services described below.
2. Cookies and Similar Technologies
We use cookies and similar tracking technologies. These fall into the following categories:
- Analytics cookies: We use Firebase Analytics and Microsoft Clarity to understand how visitors interact with the Site. These services may set cookies to track sessions and page views.
- Advertising cookies: We use Google AdSense to display advertisements. Google AdSense and its partners may use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this site or other sites on the Internet.

3. Google AdSense and Third-Party Advertising
We use Google AdSense to serve advertisements on this Site. Google, as a third-party vendor, uses cookies to serve ads based on a user's prior visits to waotools.com and other websites. Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads based on your visit to our Site and/or other sites on the Internet.
Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on a user's prior visits to our website or to other websites. Users may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Ads Settings or by visiting aboutads.info.

Contact form messages are retained only as long as necessary to resolve your inquiry, typically no longer than 90 days. Analytics data retained by Google Firebase and Microsoft Clarity is subject to those services' own retention policies. Tool data stored in your browser's local storage persists until you clear it through your browser settings.
6. Your Rights
You have the right to access, correct, or request deletion of any personal data we hold about you. To exercise these rights, contact us at onare@onadev.net. You may also opt out of analytics tracking by using browser settings, privacy extensions, or your browser's built-in "Do Not Track" setting.
