Privacy Policy

1. Who we are

ToolBox World (“we”, “us”, “our”) operates this website. For any privacy question you can contact us at privacy@example.com or by post at Your street address, City, Country.

2. Files and text you process with our tools

Our tools run in your web browser. When you compress an image, merge a PDF, count words or format JSON, the file or text is read and processed by JavaScript on your own device. It is not uploaded to our servers, and we never see, store or share it. When you close or reload the page, the data is gone.

3. Information collected automatically

Like almost every website, our hosting provider automatically records limited technical information when you visit, such as:

• your IP address (used for security and abuse prevention),
• browser type, device type and operating system,
• the pages you request, the referring page and the date and time of the request.

These server logs are kept for a short period for security, troubleshooting and to understand overall traffic. We do not use them to identify you personally.

4. Advertising (Google AdSense)

We may use Google AdSense to display advertisements that keep the site free. Google and its partners are third-party vendors that use cookies and similar technologies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this and other websites.

• Google’s use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visits to this site and/or other sites on the Internet.
• You may opt out of personalised advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings. You can also opt out of some third-party vendors’ use of cookies for personalised advertising at www.aboutads.info.
• Learn more about how Google uses data at How Google uses information from sites that use its services.

Visitors in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom and Switzerland are asked for consent before personalised ads or non-essential cookies are used, through a consent message that complies with the IAB Transparency & Consent Framework. You can change your choice at any time.

5. Cookies and local storage

We store a single preference in your browser’s local storage to remember whether you prefer light or dark mode. Advertising partners may set cookies as described above. See our Cookie Policy for details.

6. Contact messages

If you email us, we receive your email address and the content of your message. We use this only to reply to you and delete correspondence when it is no longer needed.

7. Legal bases (GDPR)

Where the EU or UK GDPR applies, we process personal data on the basis of our legitimate interests (running and securing the website), your consent (personalised advertising and non-essential cookies) and, where relevant, to comply with legal obligations.

8. Your rights

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct or delete your personal data, to object to or restrict processing, to data portability and to withdraw consent. California residents may request information about, or opt out of, the “sale” or “sharing” of personal information. To exercise any right, contact privacy@example.com. You may also lodge a complaint with your local data-protection authority.

9. Children

ToolBox World is a general-audience website and is not directed at children under 13 (or the minimum age in your country). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

10. International transfers and security

Our hosting and advertising partners may process data in countries other than yours. Where required, appropriate safeguards such as Standard Contractual Clauses are used. The site is served exclusively over encrypted HTTPS connections.

11. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. The “last updated” date above shows when it was last changed. Significant changes will be highlighted on this page.
