Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how The Tools Kit ("we", "us", or "our") collects, uses, and protects information when you visit thetoolskit.co (the "Website") and use our online tools. We are committed to safeguarding the privacy of our visitors across the United States, United Kingdom, Canada, and worldwide. By using the Website, you agree to the practices described below.

1. Information we collect

Information you provide

Some tools let you upload files or paste text so they can be processed. We also collect information you voluntarily submit, such as your name, email address, and message when you use our contact form. You are never required to create an account to use our tools.

Files and content you process

The majority of our tools run entirely within your browser, which means the files and text you work with are never transmitted to us. For tools that require server-side processing (for example, certain PDF and document conversions), your file is sent to our server, processed in real time to generate your result, and is not retained afterward. We do not view, copy, sell, or share the contents of your files.

Information collected automatically

Like most websites, we and our service providers automatically collect certain technical information when you visit, including your IP address, browser type, device type, operating system, referring pages, pages visited, and the date and time of access. This information is used for security, analytics, and improving the Website.

2. How we use information

• To operate, maintain, and improve the Website and our tools.
• To respond to your enquiries, feedback, and support requests.
• To analyze usage trends and measure the performance of our content.
• To detect, prevent, and address technical issues, fraud, or abuse.
• To display relevant advertising that helps keep our tools free.
• To comply with applicable legal obligations.

3. Cookies and similar technologies

We use cookies and similar technologies to remember your preferences, understand how the Website is used, and serve advertising. A cookie is a small text file stored on your device. You can control or delete cookies through your browser settings, and you can choose to disable them, although some features of the Website may not function properly as a result. For full details, please read our Cookie Policy.

4. Advertising and Google AdSense

We use third-party advertising companies, including Google, to serve ads when you visit the Website. These companies may use information about your visits to this and other websites in order to provide advertisements about goods and services of interest to you.

• Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this Website or other websites.
• Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visit to our Website and/or other sites on the internet.
• You may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings.
• You can also opt out of a third-party vendor's use of cookies for personalized advertising by visiting www.aboutads.info.

For more information about how Google uses data when you use our partners' sites or apps, see Google's Privacy & Terms.

5. Analytics

We may use analytics services to help us understand how visitors interact with the Website. These services collect information such as how often users visit, what pages they view, and what other sites they used prior to arriving. We use this information only to improve our content and user experience.

6. Your privacy rights

If you are in the United Kingdom or European Economic Area (GDPR)

You have the right to access, correct, delete, or restrict the use of your personal data, the right to data portability, and the right to object to processing. Where we rely on consent, you may withdraw it at any time.

If you are in California (CCPA/CPRA)

You have the right to know what personal information is collected, to request deletion, and to opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information. We do not sell your personal information.

If you are in Canada (PIPEDA)

You have the right to access the personal information we hold about you and to challenge its accuracy. We collect and use personal information only for purposes that a reasonable person would consider appropriate.

To exercise any of these rights, contact us at hello@thetoolskit.co.

7. Data retention and security

We retain personal information only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this policy or as required by law. Files processed on our servers are deleted promptly after your result is generated. We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect information, although no method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure.

8. Children's privacy

The Website is not directed to children under the age of 13 (or the minimum age required in your jurisdiction), and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us and we will take steps to remove it.

9. Third-party links

The Website may contain links to third-party websites and services. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of those third parties. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any website you visit.

10. Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. We encourage you to review this page periodically to stay informed about how we protect your information.
