Privacy Policy

Last updated: March 3, 2026

1. Scope

This Privacy Policy explains how GTINGenerator.top (the "Website", "we", "us", or "our") processes information when you use our website, including the GTIN generator, GTIN validator, and blog pages.

2. Information We Process

2.1 Data You Enter in the Tool

The GTIN generator and validator are designed to run client-side in your browser. GTIN values you generate or validate are processed locally by page scripts.

We do not provide account registration or user content submission forms on this website.

2.2 Technical Request Data

Like most websites, normal web requests may include technical metadata such as IP address, user agent, requested URL, referrer, and timestamp. This data may be processed by hosting and delivery infrastructure for availability, security, and diagnostics.

2.3 Analytics and Session Measurement

We use third-party analytics services loaded on our pages:

• Google Analytics 4 (via Google Tag): measurement ID G-8S840XZ7ZL
• Microsoft Clarity: project ID tys38pfyxq

These services may process page views, interaction events, device/browser information, referrer data, and similar usage metadata. Their processing is governed by their own privacy terms.

2.4 Browser Features Used by This Site

• Session storage: we store a temporary languageRedirected flag in sessionStorage to avoid repeated language redirects.
• Clipboard access: copy/paste buttons use browser clipboard APIs when you click them.

We do not intentionally include GTIN values in custom analytics event payloads sent by our script logic.

2.5 Cookies and Similar Technologies

Third-party services (including analytics providers) may use cookies or similar identifiers. In the current implementation, analytics scripts load when pages load and there is no on-page cookie consent banner.

You can still control cookies and tracking behavior through your browser settings, privacy extensions, and device-level controls.

3. How We Use Information

• Operate and deliver website functionality
• Measure usage and improve UX/performance
• Detect abuse, protect security, and troubleshoot issues
• Maintain basic service quality and reliability

4. Legal Bases (Where Applicable)

If data protection laws such as GDPR/UK GDPR apply, we rely on one or more of the following legal bases depending on context:

• Legitimate interests (service operation, security, and analytics)
• Consent where required by applicable law and implemented through user controls
• Compliance with legal obligations

5. Sharing and Recipients

We may share relevant data with service providers that help us run the website, including:

• Hosting and content delivery providers
• Google (Google Analytics)
• Microsoft (Clarity)

We may also disclose information when required by law, to enforce terms, or to protect rights, safety, and service integrity.

6. International Data Transfers

Because third-party providers may operate globally, data may be processed in countries other than your own. Where required, such providers use their own transfer mechanisms and safeguards.

7. Retention

We do not maintain user accounts for this website. Retention periods for technical logs and analytics data depend on infrastructure and third-party provider settings.

The sessionStorage language flag is session-scoped and generally expires when your browsing session ends.

8. Your Privacy Choices and Rights

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have rights such as access, deletion, objection, restriction, or portability regarding personal data.

• Use browser settings to clear cookies/storage and block trackers
• Use privacy extensions or browser controls to limit analytics collection
• Use private/incognito browsing for reduced local persistence

9. Security

We use reasonable technical and organizational measures appropriate for a small public web service. No internet service can be guaranteed 100% secure.

10. Children's Privacy

This website is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 through account registration or direct form submission features.

11. Third-Party Policies

Third-party services are governed by their own policies. For details, review:

• Google Privacy Policy
• Microsoft Privacy Statement
• Microsoft Clarity Terms

12. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy when website functionality or legal requirements change. Material updates will be reflected by revising the "Last updated" date above.
