Got questions about our tools, data privacy, or how everything works? Find quick answers below.
Are all tools on SocialToolsHQ completely free?
Yes. Every tool on our site is 100% free with no sign-up, no hidden fees, and no subscription required. You can use our region checkers, URL tracker remover, and post viewers as often as you need.
Do you store or track the usernames and links I search?
No. We take privacy seriously. The link cleaner processes URLs in real time to strip tracking tags without saving your links, and the region and post checkers only query public endpoints without storing search logs.
Why does a region check result say "No public region found"?
Our tools only read publicly visible data provided by the platform. If an account owner has not set a public location or the platform restricts that information, no region can be returned. This is normal for many accounts.
Will cleaning tracking parameters break my link?
No. Social platforms attach tracking tags (such as is_from_webapp, fbclid, utm_*, igshid) solely to track who shared a link and from which device. The actual destination URL remains fully intact and will open normally.
Can SocialToolsHQ view private accounts or private posts?
No. We cannot access private, suspended, or deleted accounts. We strictly use publicly accessible information and authorized embed protocols.
How do the TikTok post and LIVE viewers work?
Our viewers rely on official platform embeds and official direct links. We never download, record, re-host, or rebroadcast any copyrighted video files.
Which platforms does the URL Tracker Remover support?
It supports TikTok (including short links like vt.tiktok.com), Instagram, YouTube, X (Twitter), Facebook, Snapchat, Pinterest, and general marketing tracking parameters across any website.
How do I suggest a new tool or report an issue?
