Privacy Policy
Your privacy is our top priority. Learn how FreeUserTools protects your data while you use our lightning-fast utilities.
1. Local Processing & File Security
At FreeUserTools, we believe your files belong to you. When you use our Image Editors, PDF Utilities, or Code Minifiers, all processing happens directly inside your web browser.
- No Server Uploads: Your documents, images, and sensitive data are never uploaded to our servers.
- No Data Retention: Because files are processed locally on your device, we have no capability to store, view, or share your files.
- Once you close your browser tab, your data is completely gone.
2. Financial Data & Calculator Inputs
Our platform hosts various tax, salary, and financial calculators. We strictly adhere to a Zero-Data Retention Policy regarding your inputs.
- Any financial numbers, salaries, or personal parameters you type into our calculators are processed in real-time in your browser or via stateless server requests.
- We do not save, log, or build profiles based on the financial data you calculate on our website.
3. Information We Collect
We collect minimal information to ensure our website functions smoothly and to improve user experience. This includes:
- Non-Personal Data: Browser type, device type, language preference, and anonymous usage statistics via Google Analytics.
- Log Data: Our servers (and Cloudflare) automatically record basic requests such as your IP address and the time of your visit to prevent DDoS attacks and spam.
- We do not require you to create an account, so we do not collect names, emails, or passwords unless you voluntarily contact our support team.
4. Cookies and Advertising
FreeUserTools uses cookies to enhance your browsing experience and provide personalized content.
- Functional Cookies: Used to save your preferences, such as your Light/Dark mode choice (stored locally on your device).
- Advertising Partners: We use third-party advertising companies, such as Google AdSense, to serve ads. These companies use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to our site or other websites.
- You can opt-out of personalized advertising by visiting Google’s Ad Settings.
5. Your Privacy Rights (GDPR & CCPA)
Depending on your location, you may have specific rights regarding your personal data:
- CCPA (California Residents): We do not sell your personal information to third parties. You have the right to request access to or deletion of your data.
- GDPR (EEA & UK Residents): You have the right to access, rectify, or erase any personal data we may hold, and to restrict or object to our processing of your data.
- If you wish to exercise any of these rights, please contact us using the email provided below.
6. Children’s Privacy
FreeUserTools is designed for a general audience. We do not knowingly collect, maintain, or use personal information from children under the age of 13 (or 16 in certain jurisdictions such as the EU). If we become aware that we have inadvertently collected personal data from a child, we will delete it immediately.
