ToolBirch

Privacy policy

The short version: your files and text never leave your device.

Tool inputs and processing

Every tool runs inside your browser tab using standard web APIs or a locally bundled library. Image conversion, compression and metadata removal use the canvas and byte-level processing. PDF tools use a JavaScript PDF library downloaded with the page. Text tools, calculators, developer helpers and colour tools run plain JavaScript. The site has no upload endpoint for tool inputs, and no server receives or stores their contents. Downloads and copyable results are generated locally.

Two things are worth stating plainly. The HEIC decoder is a static WebAssembly asset served by this site and cached by your browser on first use, and the PDF library is a static JavaScript asset bundled with the site. Both are code, not a destination for your files.

Accounts and stored data

There are no accounts, no sign-in and no user profiles. The site does not use a database, and it does not write file names, contents or results to server-side storage. Tool inputs and settings live in the page's React state and disappear when you close the tab.

Analytics

Google Analytics 4 is only loaded when a measurement ID is configured by the site operator. When enabled, four anonymous events may be sent: a tool started, succeeded, failed, and how long the run took. These events contain the tool identifier, the outcome and a duration in milliseconds. They do not contain filenames, file contents, pasted text or file sizes, and IP anonymisation is enabled.

Google Search Console verification, when configured, adds a single verification meta tag. It does not add tracking.

Advertising

The layout reserves advertising space below the tool and in a sidebar, but ads are off by default. When enabled, the ad container sits in the normal page flow and never covers a control, an input or a download button.

Third-party requests

Beyond the static assets needed to render this site, the only optional external requests are the analytics script described above and any ad script the operator explicitly enables. Web fonts are served from the site itself. No image CDN, tracking pixel or fingerprinting service is used.

Changes

This policy describes the current build of the site. If accounts, paid features or server-side processing are added later, this page will be updated before those features ship.
