1. Overview
ToolNotch provides free online utilities for file manipulation, format conversion, calculations, and technical quizzes. This Privacy Policy clearly outlines what information is handled when you visit our website.
2. Client-Side Processing and Files
Most tools on ToolNotch, including image compressors, format converters, and PDF document utilities, run completely client-side in your web browser using WebAssembly, Canvas API, and native web standards.
Your files and inputs are never uploaded to our servers or stored remotely. Processing occurs in your device's memory and is discarded as soon as you close or refresh the tab.
3. Analytics and Usage Metrics
We use Google Analytics 4 to collect aggregated, anonymized statistics about site performance, popular tools, and technical errors.
Data gathered by Analytics is non-personal and includes browser type, viewed pages, session duration, and approximate country or city location. You can opt out at any time using the official Google Analytics Opt-out browser add-on.
4. Cookies and Local Storage
ToolNotch uses minimal browser storage (such as localStorage) solely to remember functional settings, including your preferred language, visual theme, and active in-progress tool drafts.
We do not use first-party tracking cookies for user profiling and we never sell user data to advertising networks.
5. Third-Party Infrastructure
Our website is hosted on modern cloud infrastructure platforms such as Vercel, which deliver pages securely over encrypted HTTPS connections. Each infrastructure provider maintains its own technical compliance and security standards.
6. Your Rights and Data Control
In accordance with data protection regulations (such as GDPR, CCPA, and LGPD), you have the right to control your personal data. Because ToolNotch does not require user accounts or store personal records on servers, you can reset all local data by clearing your browser cache and cookies.
7. Data Security
All communications between your device and ToolNotch are secured using HTTPS and TLS transport encryption. Our client-side processing model eliminates the security risks associated with uploading sensitive documents to cloud servers.
8. Updates to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy periodically to reflect new features or legal requirements. When changes are made, the revision date at the top of this page will be updated accordingly.
