Privacy Policy

Introduction

We get it—privacy policies can be boring and confusing. So we've written ours in plain English. The bottom line? We respect your privacy, keep things transparent, and don't do anything shady with your data.

ToolsFree is a free platform offering 100+ online tools. To keep everything free, we display ads (more on that below). This policy explains exactly what data we collect, why we collect it, and what we do with it.

The Important Stuff: Your Files Stay Private

Here's what makes us different: When you use our tools (like word counter, PDF merger, image converter, etc.), all the processing happens right in your browser using JavaScript. Your files, text, images, videos, and documents never get uploaded to our servers.

We literally can't see what you're working on. Your sensitive documents? Completely private. Your personal photos? They stay on your device. Everything processes locally, and nothing leaves your computer. That's our promise.

What Information We Actually Collect

Because we don't upload your files, we only collect minimal data required to run and improve our platform.

Advertising Partners & Cookies

We display Google AdSense ads on our site to keep everything free. Google uses cookies to show ads based on your previous visits to our website or other sites on the internet.

Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visit to our site and/or other sites on the Internet. You can opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google'sAds Settings.

Your Privacy Rights (GDPR, CCPA)

No matter where you live, you have the right to control your personal data. Depending on your location (like Europe under GDPR or California under CCPA), you have the right to request access to what data we have, ask us to correct or delete it, or opt out of cookies.

Because we don't collect names, emails, or files, we don't have much to delete! But if you have any questions about your data or rights, please contact us.

Children's Privacy

Our tools are safe for everyone, but we do not knowingly collect personal data from children under 13. If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has provided personal information, please contact us and we'll delete it immediately.

Security

We take security seriously. We use HTTPS encryption across our site to protect data in transit. However, please remember that no method of transmission or electronic storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Changes to This Policy

We might update this privacy policy from time to time to reflect changes in our tools, ads, or legal requirements. When we do, we'll update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. We encourage you to review this policy periodically to stay informed.

Have Questions?

If you have any questions or concerns about this Privacy Policy, please send us an email. We're real people and we actually read our emails! Contact us here.

Thanks for trusting us with your privacy. We don't take it lightly.
