Privacy Policy

Last updated: March 18, 2026

1. Overview

ToolNotch (“we”, “us”, or “our”) operates the website toolnotch.com and provides free online tools for productivity, conversion, finance, and more. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and your rights regarding your data.

2. Information We Collect

a) Files and user input

Most ToolNotch tools (image compressor, PDF merger, PDF splitter, etc.) process files entirely in your browser using client-side JavaScript. Your files are never uploaded to our servers.They remain on your device at all times.

b) Usage data (Google Analytics)

We use Google Analytics 4 (GA4) to understand how visitors use the site. GA4 collects anonymized data including pages visited, time on site, browser type, and approximate geographic location (country/city level). This data does not identify you personally. You can opt out via the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.

c) Advertising (Google AdSense)

We use Google AdSense to display advertisements. Google AdSense uses cookies and similar technologies to serve ads based on your prior visits to our site and other sites on the internet. Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads based on your visit to ToolNotch and/or other sites on the internet.

You may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings or aboutads.info.

d) Cookies

ToolNotch itself uses minimal cookies — primarily to remember your language preference. Third-party services (Google Analytics, Google AdSense) set their own cookies as described in their respective privacy policies.

3. How We Use Your Information

  • To operate and improve ToolNotch tools and features
  • To understand how users interact with the site (via GA4)
  • To display relevant advertisements (via Google AdSense)
  • To remember your preferences (e.g., language selection)

We do not sell, trade, or rent your personal information to third parties.

4. Third-Party Services

5. Children's Privacy

ToolNotch is not directed to children under 13 years of age. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us and we will delete it.

6. Your Rights

Depending on your location, you may have rights under applicable privacy law (such as GDPR or CCPA) including the right to access, correct, or delete personal data we hold about you. Since we collect minimal personal data and no files are stored on our servers, most requests can be addressed by clearing your browser cookies and local storage.

7. Data Security

Because most tool processing happens entirely in your browser and no files are transmitted to our servers, the risk of data breach is minimal. Network traffic to the site is encrypted via HTTPS.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated “Last updated” date. Continued use of the site after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
