This Privacy Policy explains what information Toolestro ("we", "us") collects when you use this website at https://toolestro.online, how it is used, and the choices you have. We have tried to write it in plain language. If anything is unclear, please contact us.
Summary
- Our tools process your text, numbers and images in your browser. We do not receive or store them.
- If you use the contact form, we store the details you send so we can read and reply to your message.
- Our hosting provider keeps standard server logs for security and reliability.
- We do not currently use analytics or tracking scripts.
- We do not currently show advertising.
- We do not sell your personal information.
Information processed by our tools
All of the tools on this website — including the text tools, calculators, and the Image Compressor and Image Resizer — run entirely in your web browser using JavaScript. When you paste text, enter numbers or dates, or choose an image, that data is processed on your own device. It is not uploaded to our server or sent to any third-party service, and we have no access to it. Closing or reloading the page clears it.
When you use the image tools, the processed image is created in your browser's memory and offered to you as a download. The processed copy does not include the original file's embedded metadata (such as camera details or GPS location). Your original file is never modified.
Information you provide through the contact form
If you send us a message, we collect the name, email address, subject and message you enter. We also store the date and time, a one-way cryptographic hash of your IP address (not the address itself), and your browser's user-agent string. The hash and user-agent are used only to prevent spam and abuse, such as limiting the number of messages sent in a short time.
We use this information only to read, respond to and follow up on your message — for example, to fix a problem you reported. We do not add you to any mailing list.
Server logs
Like almost every website, our hosting provider automatically records technical information when pages are requested. This typically includes your IP address, the date and time, the page requested, the referring page, and your browser and device type. These logs are used to keep the site secure and working properly (for example, to diagnose errors and defend against attacks) and are retained according to the hosting provider's standard practices.
Cookies and local storage
Ordinary pages of the website do not set cookies. The contact page sets a single session cookie that is strictly necessary to protect the form against forged submissions; it contains a random identifier and expires when you close your browser. The administration area, which is used only by the site owner, also uses a session cookie.
Analytics
We do not currently use any analytics service. If we add one in the future, this policy will be updated before it is switched on to explain what is collected and how to opt out.
Advertising
We do not currently display advertising. If advertising is introduced in the future (for example, through Google AdSense), this policy will be updated to describe the cookies and data involved and how you can opt out, and consent will be requested where the law requires it.
Third-party services and links
The website does not load scripts, fonts or other resources from third-party services. Articles may link to external websites for reference. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of other websites, so please read their policies when you visit them.
Data retention
- Tool inputs: never received, so never retained.
- Contact messages: kept for as long as needed to deal with your message and any follow-up, and deleted within 24 months at the latest. You can ask us to delete your message sooner.
- Server logs: retained by our hosting provider for a limited period for security purposes.
Security
We take reasonable technical measures to protect the information we hold, including encrypted HTTPS connections, protected administration access, and storing hashed rather than raw IP addresses. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, but we work to keep the data we hold to a minimum.
Your rights
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to ask us for a copy of the personal information we hold about you, to correct it, to delete it, or to object to or restrict how we use it. Because we collect very little personal information, in practice this usually concerns messages sent through the contact form. To make a request, contact us, and tell us the email address you used. You also have the right to complain to your local data protection authority.
Children
This website is intended for a general audience and does not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has sent us personal information through the contact form, please contact us and we will delete it.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy when the website changes — for example, if analytics or advertising are enabled. The "Last updated" date at the top of this page shows when it was last revised. Significant changes will be made before the related feature is switched on.
