Privacy Policy
Last updated: January 28, 2026
TL;DR: Your files never leave your device. All processing happens locally in your browser. We don't collect, store, or have access to any of your files.
1. How ToolBox Works
ToolBox is designed with privacy as a core principle. All our tools (PDF compression, image optimization, JSON formatting, etc.) run entirely in your web browser using JavaScript and WebAssembly. This means:
- No file uploads - Your files are processed locally on your device
- No server storage - We don't have servers that store your files
- No file access - We cannot see, read, or access your files
- Offline capable - Tools work even without internet after initial page load
2. Information We Collect
We collect minimal, non-personal information to improve our service:
- Analytics data - Page views, tool usage statistics (not linked to individual users)
- Technical data - Browser type, device type (for compatibility improvements)
- Error reports - Anonymous error logs to fix bugs
We do NOT collect:
- Your files or file contents
- Personal information (name, email, etc.)
- Account data (no accounts required)
3. Cookies
We use minimal cookies for:
- Language preference - Remember your selected language
- Analytics - Anonymous usage statistics (Google Analytics)
- Advertising - If ads are displayed (Google AdSense)
You can disable cookies in your browser settings without affecting tool functionality.
4. Third-Party Services
We may use the following third-party services:
- Google Analytics - For anonymous usage statistics
- Google AdSense - For displaying advertisements
- Vercel - For website hosting
These services have their own privacy policies. Your files are NOT shared with any third parties.
5. Data Security
Since your files never leave your device, they cannot be intercepted, stolen, or accessed by us or anyone else. This is the most secure approach possible for online tools.
6. Children's Privacy
ToolBox is a general-purpose tool and does not knowingly collect information from children under 13.
7. Changes to This Policy
We may update this privacy policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated date.
