Privacy Policy
Last updated: March 26, 2026
1. Introduction
Welcome to File-Tools. We are committed to protecting your personal information and your right to privacy. If you have any questions or concerns about our policy, or our practices with regards to your personal information, please contact us.
When you visit our website https://file-tools.site, and use our services, you trust us with your personal information. We take your privacy very seriously. In this privacy notice, we describe our privacy policy. We seek to explain to you in the clearest way possible what information we collect, how we use it and what rights you have in relation to it.
2. What Information Do We Collect?
Information automatically collected
We automatically collect certain information when you visit, use or navigate our website. This information does not reveal your specific identity (like your name or contact information) but may include device and usage information, such as your IP address, browser and device characteristics, operating system, language preferences, referring URLs, device name, country, location, information about how and when you use our website and other technical information.
Information you provide to us
We do not require any registration or account creation to use most of our tools. Therefore, we do not collect personal identifiers like your name, email address, or phone number unless you explicitly contact us for support.
3. How Do We Process Your Files?
Privacy and security are our top priorities. Here is how we handle your files:
- Client-Side Processing: Most of our tools (Image Compression, QR Generation, JSON Formatting, etc.) run entirely in your browser using JavaScript. This means your files never leave your computer.
- Server-Side Processing: For tools that require more computing power (like some Video Conversions or OCR), files are uploaded to our secure servers.
- Automatic Deletion: Any files uploaded for server-side processing are automatically and permanently deleted after processing is complete or within 1 hour at most. We do not keep copies of your files.
- No File Analysis: We do not read or analyze the content of your files. Our automated systems only process the files to perform the requested function.
4. Cookies and Tracking
We may use cookies and similar tracking technologies (like web beacons and pixels) to access or store information. Specific information about how we use such technologies and how you can refuse certain cookies is set out in our Cookie Policy.
We use Google Analytics and Google AdSense to analyze traffic and serve relevant ads. These services may use cookies to track your behavior on our site and other websites.
5. Use of Google AdSense
We use Google AdSense to show advertisements on some of our pages. Google, as a third-party vendor, uses cookies to serve ads on our site. Google's use of the DART cookie enables it to serve ads to our users based on their visit to our site and other sites on the Internet. Users may opt out of the use of the DART cookie by visiting the Google ad and content network privacy policy.
6. Data Security
We have implemented appropriate technical and organizational security measures designed to protect the security of any personal information we process. However, please also remember that we cannot guarantee that the internet itself is 100% secure. Although we will do our best to protect your personal information, transmission of personal information to and from our website is at your own risk. You should only access the services within a secure environment.
7. Updates to This Policy
We may update this privacy policy from time to time. The updated version will be indicated by an updated "Last updated" date and the updated version will be effective as soon as it is accessible. We encourage you to review this privacy policy frequently to be informed of how we are protecting your information.
