Privacy Policy
We wrote this in plain English, not legal jargon, because we think you deserve to actually understand what happens to your data. Short version: we collect very little, we never sell anything, and your files never leave your device.
🔒 Your files stay on your device
Every tool on Toolify Core — PDF compressors, image resizers, calculators, converters — runs directly in your browser using JavaScript. When you upload a file to compress or convert, it never travels to our servers. The processing happens entirely on your own computer or phone.
💡 Think of it like this: we gave you the tools, but we are not in the room while you use them. We genuinely cannot see your files because they never reach us.
📊 What we do collect
We use Google Analytics 4 to understand how people use our site. This tells us things like:
- Which tools are most popular
- Which country visitors come from (general, not specific location)
- Which browser and device type you use
- How long people spend on each tool page
This data is anonymous and aggregated. We cannot identify you personally from it. We use it purely to decide which tools to improve and which new ones to build.
🍪 Cookies
We use minimal cookies — primarily from Google Analytics for the analytics described above. We do not use advertising cookies or tracking pixels that follow you around the internet.
If you use our site with a browser that blocks all cookies, everything still works perfectly. Cookies are not required to use any tool.
💰 Advertising
We display Google AdSense ads on some pages to help keep the site free. Google may use cookies to show you relevant ads based on your browsing history. You can opt out of personalised ads at adssettings.google.com.
We never allow advertisers to influence our tool recommendations or content. Ads are clearly labelled and separate from tool functionality.
🔗 Affiliate links
Some pages contain affiliate links — for example, a link to Grammarly or Smallpdf. If you click these and make a purchase, we may earn a small commission at no extra cost to you. We only recommend tools we genuinely think are useful. Affiliate links are always relevant to the tool you are using.
📧 Contact form & email
If you email us or use our contact form, we receive your name, email address and message. We use this only to reply to you. We do not add you to any mailing list, share your details with third parties, or store your message longer than needed to respond.
👶 Children's privacy
Toolify Core is a general-purpose tool website suitable for all ages. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us personal information, contact us and we will delete it immediately.
🔄 Changes to this policy
If we make significant changes to this policy, we will update the date at the top of this page. We will never make changes that compromise your privacy without clearly communicating them.
⚖️ Your rights
You have the right to ask what data we hold about you, request deletion of your data, or opt out of analytics. Since we collect very little and nothing personally identifiable through tool usage, there is usually not much to request — but we are happy to help if you have questions.
Questions about your privacy?
We are a real team and we read every message. If anything in this policy is unclear or you have a privacy concern, just ask.
