Privacy Policy
Last Updated: September 2026 • Effective Immediately
Core Client-Side Privacy Guarantee
Tools is architected with a fundamental privacy-first principle: your files never leave your device. When you convert JPG to PDF, merge documents, resize images, or calculate financial metrics, all byte manipulations and algorithmic operations occur entirely within your local web browser using JavaScript, WebAssembly, and HTML5 Canvas. We do not store, view, copy, or retain your files on any remote server.
1. Introduction
This Privacy Policy describes how Tools ("we", "us", "our"), developed and maintained by Shajjad Khan (accessible via www.shajjadkhan.com), collects, uses, and protects your information when you access our online utilities suite.
2. Information We Do NOT Collect (Zero File Storage)
Unlike traditional online converter services, Tools does NOT upload your documents, images, or input text to a backend cloud database. Specifically:
- No Document Uploads: Files selected for PDF merging, splitting, rearranging, or image conversion remain strictly in your browser's local RAM.
- No Document Retention: When you close the browser tab or refresh the page, all temporary memory allocations are instantly purged.
- No Account Required: You do not need to register, submit an email address, or provide personal credentials to use all 50+ utilities.
3. Google AdSense & Third-Party Advertising
To support free public access and offset the server bandwidth, maintenance, and hosting costs of running Tools, we partner with third-party advertising networks, primarily Google AdSense.
- Google, as a third-party vendor, uses cookies to serve advertisements on Tools.
- Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve personalized or contextual advertisements to users based on their visits to our website and other sites across the internet.
- You may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting the Google Ads Settings page.
- Alternatively, you can opt out of third-party vendor cookies for personalized advertising by visiting www.aboutads.info or the Network Advertising Initiative.
4. Cookies and Web Beacons
Tools itself does not set tracking or profiling cookies for its utility functions. Third-party advertising partners (such as Google AdSense) may use cookies and web beacons on our site to measure the effectiveness of their advertisements and personalize advertising content.
5. Privacy-First Analytics & Conversion Events
To monitor platform health, feature adoption, and inbound business inquiries, we operate a lightweight, cookieless first-party event tracking system.
- 100% Cookieless: We do NOT store persistent cookies, local storage tracking keys, or cross-site fingerprinting identifiers.
- Strictly Anonymous: Operational events (such as button clicks, tool launches, and report generation requests) are collected in the aggregate without logging raw personal data or selling data to third-party data brokers.
- Sovereign Infrastructure: All analytics events are recorded directly on our sovereign Linux server infrastructure (system health).
- Saudi PDPL & GDPR Aligned: Designed from the ground up to comply fully with the Saudi Personal Data Protection Law (PDPL) and international privacy frameworks.
6. Children's Information (COPPA)
Tools does not knowingly collect any personally identifiable information from children under the age of 13. If you believe your child has provided personal information on our website, please contact us immediately so we can remove such records.
