Privacy Policy

At iTools, your privacy is not an afterthought — it's the foundation of everything we build. This Privacy Policy explains how we handle (or more accurately, do NOT handle) your data when you use our website and tools.

1. Zero Data Collection Policy

We do not collect any personal information from you. Period. This includes:

• No names, email addresses, or contact information
• No IP addresses or location data
• No browsing history or usage patterns
• No files, images, documents, or text you process using our tools
• No device information or browser fingerprints
• No analytics or telemetry data

2. Client-Side Processing (How It Works)

All iTools tools operate entirely within your web browser. When you upload a PDF, compress an image, or format JSON, the processing happens locally on your device using JavaScript. Here's what that means for your privacy:

• No server uploads: Your files never leave your computer
• No cloud processing: We don't have access to your data at any point
• No temporary storage: Once you close the browser tab, all data is cleared
• Works offline: After the initial page load, iTools works without an internet connection

3. Cookies & Local Storage

iTools uses minimal local storage ONLY for:

• Remembering your dark/light mode preference (if you change it)
• Saving your accordion state (which categories you have expanded)

We do NOT use cookies for tracking, advertising, analytics, or cross-site identification.No third-party cookies are placed on your browser. You can clear your browser's local storage at any time without affecting tool functionality.

4. Third-Party Services & CDNs

Our website uses the following third-party resources that may log standard HTTP requests (including IP addresses) according to their own privacy policies:

• Tailwind CSS CDN (cdn.tailwindcss.com) - For styling
• Font Awesome CDN (cdnjs.cloudflare.com) - For icons
• Google Fonts (fonts.googleapis.com) - For the Inter font

These CDNs may collect anonymous usage data. However, iTools itself does not integrate any analytics, tracking scripts, or telemetry. For maximum privacy, you can use our tools offline after the initial load or use browser extensions to block external resources.

5. No Tracking & No Analytics

iTools does NOT use:

• Google Analytics or any similar analytics service
• Facebook Pixel or any advertising trackers
• Hotjar, Mixpanel, or any user behavior tracking
• Any form of session recording or replay tools
• Third-party advertising networks

6. Data Security

Since we never receive or store your data, there is no risk of data breach from our servers. The security of your data on your own device is your responsibility. We recommend:

• Keeping your browser and operating system updated
• Using reputable antivirus software
• Being cautious when downloading files from the internet
• Not processing sensitive information on shared or public computers

7. Children's Privacy

iTools is suitable for users of all ages. Because we collect no personal information from anyone, we have no special provisions for children under 13. We do not knowingly collect data from children, nor do we have any mechanism to identify a user's age.

8. Email Communications

We do not send marketing emails, newsletters, or promotional communications. If you choose to contact us via email (provided in the Terms page), we will only use your email address to respond to your inquiry. We will not add you to any mailing list or share your email with third parties.

9. Third-Party Links

Our website may contain links to external websites (e.g., GitHub, Twitter). We are not responsible for the privacy practices of these third-party sites. We encourage you to read their privacy policies before interacting with them.

10. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated "Last Updated" date. We will never change our core commitment to zero data collection. Your continued use of iTools after changes constitutes your acceptance of the revised policy.

11. Your Rights

Since we collect no personal data, there is no data to access, correct, delete, or export. However, if you have any questions about our privacy practices, you have the right to:

• Ask questions about how we handle data (answer: we don't handle any)
• Request confirmation that we don't store your data
• File a complaint with your local data protection authority

12. International Users

iTools is accessible worldwide. Because we do not collect any personal data, we comply with international privacy laws including GDPR (Europe), CCPA (California), LGPD (Brazil), and others automatically — we don't collect anything to begin with.
