Privacy

Browser-based tools

Tools marked as private or local process their files or text within your browser. The current image compressor, PDF merge, QR generator, word counter and JSON formatter do not upload their contents to our server.

First-party usage measurement

We record a small set of aggregate events on our own server: page viewed, tool started, tool completed, result copied and result downloaded. An event can include the page path, tool name and referring website hostname. It never includes calculation inputs, file names, file contents, pasted text, email addresses or full referring URLs.

This measurement does not use cookies, browser storage, session replay, fingerprinting, a persistent visitor identifier or a third-party analytics service. We use it to find broken or useful tools and decide what to improve next, not to build advertising profiles. Aggregate event logs are automatically rotated and retained for no more than 30 days.

Technical logs

Like most web servers, our hosting infrastructure may temporarily log an IP address, requested path, user agent and response status for security and reliability. These operational logs are separate from the aggregate tool-event log and are not used to build advertising profiles.

Advertising

The site does not currently run advertising technology. Before ads are introduced, this policy and the consent controls will be updated for the providers and regions involved.
