Privacy Policy
Last updated: February 2026
OnTools (“we”, “our”, “us”) respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have.
1. What we do
OnTools provides online tools for images, PDFs, text, and developer utilities. Many tools are designed to work client-side, meaning processing happens inside your browser.
2. Files and tool inputs
Browser processing (default):
Whenever possible, files and inputs are processed in your browser and are not uploaded to our servers.
If server processing is required:
If a tool requires server-side processing in the future, we will clearly explain it on that tool page before you use it, including what data is sent and how long it is kept.
3. Information we collect
We may collect limited information for site functionality, security, and analytics, such as:
- basic device/browser information
- approximate location (country/region) derived from IP address
- pages viewed and actions like button clicks (aggregated)
This information helps us prevent abuse, improve performance, and understand which tools are most useful.
4. Cookies
OnTools may use cookies or similar technologies to:
- remember preferences (where applicable)
- measure site usage (analytics)
- support advertising (where applicable)
You can control cookies through your browser settings and, where available, our cookie consent options. For more details, see our Cookie Policy.
5. Advertising
We may display ads to support our website. Advertising partners may use cookies or similar technologies to serve and measure ads. You can manage consent and preferences through cookie settings where available.
6. How we use information
We use collected information to:
- operate and maintain the site
- improve tools and user experience
- detect and prevent fraud, abuse, and security incidents
- understand general usage trends (analytics)
7. Data retention
We keep analytics and security logs for a limited time as needed for operations and security, then delete or anonymize them.
If a tool uses server-side processing, its specific retention rules will be stated on the tool page.
8. Third-party services
We may use third-party services (such as analytics, performance tools, or advertising services). These providers may process data according to their own privacy policies.
9. Your choices
You can:
- disable cookies in your browser
- use cookie consent controls where available
- contact us to ask questions about privacy
