Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

Welcome to ToolPix ("we," "us," or "our"). We operate the website https://toolpix.app (the "Service"). This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect information when you use our Service.

We are committed to protecting your privacy. Our tools are designed with a privacy-first architecture — all file processing happens entirely in your browser. Your files never leave your device.

2. Information We Do NOT Collect

Unlike most online tools, ToolPix is built on a zero-upload, zero-storage model:

• No file uploads: Your images, PDFs, and files are processed locally using your browser's built-in APIs (Canvas API, Web Crypto API, etc.). Files are never sent to our servers.
• No file storage: We do not store any files you work with. Once you close your browser tab, all processed data is gone.
• No user accounts: We do not require registration, login, or any personal information to use our tools.
• No tracking cookies: We do not use cookies to track your browsing behavior across websites.

3. Information We May Collect

While we minimize data collection, some information may be automatically collected:

a) Analytics Data

We may use privacy-respecting analytics to understand how our Service is used. This may include:

• Pages visited and features used
• Approximate geographic region (country-level, not precise location)
• Browser type and device category (desktop/mobile)
• Referring website

This data is aggregated and anonymized. It cannot be used to identify you personally.

b) Advertising

We use Google AdSense to display advertisements. Google may use cookies and web beacons to serve ads based on your prior visits to our website or other websites. You can opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings. For more information about how Google uses your data, visit Google's Privacy & Terms.

4. How Your Browser Processes Files

When you use any of our tools (image compressor, PDF merger, etc.):

1. You select a file from your device.
2. Your browser reads and processes the file using JavaScript APIs (Canvas API, Web Crypto API, pdf-lib, etc.).
3. The processed result is generated in your browser's memory.
4. You download the result directly to your device.

At no point during this process is your file transmitted over the internet or accessible to us.

5. Third-Party Services

Our Service may use the following third-party services:

• Google AdSense: For displaying advertisements. Google may collect and use data as described in their privacy policy.
• Vercel: Our hosting provider. Vercel may collect standard server logs (IP addresses, timestamps) as part of normal web hosting operations.

6. Data Security

Because we do not collect or store your files, there is no risk of your files being exposed through a data breach on our servers. Your files remain on your device throughout the entire process.

7. Children's Privacy

Our Service is not directed to children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us and we will take steps to remove such information.

8. Your Rights

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have the following rights:

• Right to access: Request information about any personal data we hold about you.
• Right to deletion: Request deletion of any personal data we hold.
• Right to opt out: Opt out of personalized advertising via Google Ads Settings.

Since we do not collect personal data beyond what is described above, most of these rights are already fulfilled by our privacy-first design.

9. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated revision date. We encourage you to review this page periodically.
