Privacy Policy

Last Updated: May 20, 2024

Our Commitment to Your Privacy

At Toolbly, your privacy isn't just a policy—it's the foundation of our architecture. Our free online tools are engineered from the ground up to ensure your data never leaves your device.

The Core Principle: No Server Uploads, Ever

Our privacy policy is simple and transparent: we do not collect, store, view, or transmit any of your personal files or the data you input when using our tools.

All conversion logic, calculations, and data manipulation performed by our tools happen exclusively on your device, within your web browser. This is known as "client-side" processing. Instead of you sending your sensitive files to us, we send our code to you. Your data is processed locally by your own computer's CPU. Because your files and data never leave your machine, we never see them, and they cannot be intercepted or stored. This commitment to a serverless architecture for our tools is the ultimate guarantee of your data privacy.

What This Means for You

  • Absolute Confidentiality. Whether you are using our PDF to Word converter with a legal contract, our JSON Formatter with sensitive API data, or our Image Compressor with personal photos, your inputs, file contents, and conversion results are never seen by us or anyone else. They are confined to your own device, ensuring that sensitive information remains completely private.
  • Zero Risk of Server-Side Data Breaches. Traditional online tools require you to upload your files, creating a honeypot for hackers. Our client-side tools eliminate this risk entirely. Since we don't have servers that store your files, there is no user data for a malicious actor to steal. Your privacy isn't just a promise; it's a structural reality of our service.
  • No Intrusive Tracking. We do not use our own tracking cookies or engage in user profiling. Our business model does not rely on collecting or selling your personal data. We provide valuable, free tools supported by unintrusive advertising, allowing you to work without worrying that your activity is being monitored for marketing purposes.

Third-Party Services & Anonymous Data

To keep Toolbly running and to understand how we can improve our services, we use a few standard third-party services. It is important to us that you understand what they do.

Google Analytics

To understand how our website is used, we utilize Google Analytics. This service collects anonymous, aggregate data, such as which pages are most popular, the general geographic location of our visitors (e.g., country), and how long users spend on the site. This data is fully anonymized and cannot be used to identify you personally. It is purely statistical and helps us make informed decisions about which tools are most valuable to our users and where we can improve the user experience.

Google AdSense

We also use Google AdSense to display advertisements, which helps cover the costs of maintaining this free service. To comply with AdSense policies, we must inform you of the following:

  • Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on a user's prior visits to our website or other websites.
  • Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to our users based on their visit to our sites and/or other sites on the Internet.
  • Users may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Ads Settings. Alternatively, you can opt out of a third-party vendor's use of cookies for personalized advertising by visiting www.aboutads.info/choices.

Policy Changes

We may update this privacy policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated "Last Updated" date. We encourage you to review it periodically to stay informed about how we are protecting your information.

We are happy to explain our technology and our commitment to your data security. Your trust is the most valuable asset we have, and we are dedicated to earning it every day.
