Advertising and Cookies

Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on a user's prior visits to this website or other websites. Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to our visitors based on their visits to this site and/or other sites on the Internet.

5. Data Security

We take reasonable measures to protect the data collected through our site. However, no method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security.

Important: Since calculations are processed in your browser, we never have access to the numbers you enter. This ensures your financial, health, and personal data remains private.

Local Browser Storage

Some tools on this site, including the Balance Sheet, Invoice Generator, Resume Builder, Word Counter, and every tool in the Planner section (Budget Planner Spreadsheet, Daily, Discipline, Fitness, Goal, Habit, and Study Planners), save your entered data using your browser's local storage feature so you don't lose your work between visits. This data:

  • Stays entirely on your own device, it is never transmitted to The Nest Tools or any server
  • Is only accessible from the same browser and device where you saved it
  • Can be cleared at any time by clearing your browser's cache/site data, or by using any "Reset" or "Clear" option provided within the tool itself

If you're using a shared or public computer, we recommend clearing your browser data after use if you've entered sensitive information into any tool with a save feature.
