Privacy · plain language

We take none.

That's not a slogan. It's the whole policy. This page exists to spell out exactly what we mean by that.

TL;DR
Nothing you do here is tracked. Your files never leave your browser. There are no cookies, no analytics, and no accounts. That's it.

Because this page is legally required to exist in some jurisdictions, it has to be longer than the sentence above. But the sentence above is the whole truth. The rest is just detail about how that's technically possible.

How the tools work

Every tool on Tooly McToolface runs entirely in your browser using JavaScript and, in some cases, WebAssembly. When you drop an image, paste JSON, or convert a HEIC file:

  • The file is read into your browser's memory
  • Your browser processes it using JavaScript APIs (Canvas, File, Blob)
  • The result is returned to you for download
  • At no point does anything travel to our servers, because the tool code runs locally

You can confirm this yourself. Open your browser's Network tab (right-click → Inspect → Network). Use any tool. Watch: no outbound requests for your file data. Everything stays on your device.

Quick reference

Do we use cookies?
No. Zero cookies. No cookie banner required because there's nothing to consent to.
Do we track you across the web?
No. No retargeting pixels. No Facebook pixel. No Google tag.
Do we have analytics?
Not yet. When we add them, we'll use Plausible or similar — privacy-respecting, no personal data collected, aggregate counts only. This page will be updated before anything is deployed.
Do you have my IP address?
Our hosting provider (Netlify) logs IPs as part of normal web server operation. This is required for the internet to function. Those logs are retained briefly, aren't shared with us in a useful way, and aren't tied to any user profile.
Do we store settings?
A tool may save a preference (indent size, quality default) in your browser's local storage — on your device, not our server. Clear your browser data and it's gone.
Do you require accounts?
No. There are no accounts to create. Nothing to sign up for.
Is my uploaded file sent to you?
No. Your files never leave your device. Try using a tool while offline — it still works.
What if I email you?
Then I have your email. I won't share it, add it to a list, or use it for anything beyond replying.
Do you use third-party libraries?
Yes — specifically heic2any (loaded from CDN for HEIC decoding) and JSZip (for batch downloads). These are loaded on tool pages. Your browser fetches them, but they don't receive your files.

If policy changes

If we ever add ads, analytics, or anything that processes visitor information, this page will be updated first, and the change will be noted in the changelog. No quietly changing policies in the dark. No "we may update this at any time" lawyer cop-outs.

The commitments above are load-bearing for this project. Breaking them would make Tooly McToolface materially worse at the one thing it does — which is: be a place where you can use good tools without selling your soul.
