Advertising Policy
Last updated:
HIFreeTools is free to use, and advertising is how we intend to sustain it. These are the rules we hold ads to.
Current status
We currently display no advertising. We’re focused on building tools and earning trust first. When we do introduce ads, every placement will follow the rules below, and we’ll update our Privacy Policy with details about any cookies or third parties involved.
The tool always comes first
- Ads never sit between an input and its “calculate” button.
- Ads never appear above the tool on mobile, and never push the tool below the fold.
- Sticky ads never cover inputs or results.
- No pop-ups, interstitials, or “click to see your result” gates.
No deception
- Ads are never styled to look like a button, a download link, or a tool result.
- We never label an ad “recommended tool” or otherwise imply it’s our content.
- Ad space is reserved in the layout so the page doesn’t jump.
Independence and affiliates
Advertising does not influence our tools, results, rankings, or internal links. If we ever include affiliate links (where we may earn a commission), we will disclose them clearly. We don’t accept payment for favorable placement within a tool or its recommendations.
Feedback
If an ad ever feels misleading or gets in the way, please tell us. Long-term trust matters more to us than any single impression.
