Privacy Policy

1. Introduction & Overview

ToolsLibrary ("we", "our", or "us") operates the website located at toolslibrary.com (the "Service"). We believe that digital utilities should respect individual user privacy by default. This Privacy Policy outlines what minimal information is collected when you visit our website, how third-party services operate, and your rights under global privacy frameworks including the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA).

2. Client-Side Image & Data Processing

Unlike traditional web converters that require uploading your sensitive files to a remote server, ToolsLibrary is built using client-side web technologies:

• Zero File Uploads: When you drag-and-drop or select an image to resize or compress, the image is loaded into your web browser's local memory.
• Local Processing: Compression, pixel interpolation, format conversion, and cropping happen via HTML5 Canvas APIs, WebAssembly (WASM), and Web Workers on your physical CPU/GPU.
• Zero Server Logs of Files: We do not log filenames, image contents, EXIF metadata, or output files. Closing your tab immediately flushes memory from your browser.

3. Technical Data & Web Analytics

When you access ToolsLibrary, we or our third-party analytics partners (such as Google Analytics) may collect standard, non-personally identifiable log information to help us monitor platform performance and optimize tool usability. This may include:

• Browser type, version, language preferences, and operating system.
• Referring URLs, pages visited, time spent on each page, and interaction timestamps.
• Aggregated diagnostic statistics (such as client-side script errors or crash reports).
• Anonymized or truncated IP addresses to determine general geographic regions.

4. Cookies and Local Storage

We use modern browser localStorage to remember your interface preferences (such as your chosen Light/Dark theme mode) without requiring account creation.

Third-party vendors, including advertising networks and analytics providers, may place and read cookies on your browser or use web beacons to collect information as a result of ad serving on this website. You can configure your browser to refuse all cookies or notify you when a cookie is sent.

5. Advertising Partners & Google AdSense

To maintain ToolsLibrary as a 100% free resource for everyone, we partner with third-party advertising networks, such as Google AdSense:

• Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on a user's prior visits to this website or other websites.
• Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to users based on their visits to our site and/or other sites on the Internet.
• Users may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ad Settings or by visiting aboutads.info.

6. Your Rights Under GDPR & CCPA

Depending on your location, you have certain rights under data protection laws regarding any personal data we process:

• Right of Access & Portability: The right to request copies of any personal data we hold about you.
• Right to Erasure: The right to request that we erase your personal data under certain conditions.
• Right to Restrict or Object to Processing: The right to object to our processing of your personal data.
• Non-Discrimination: We will not discriminate against you for exercising any of your privacy rights.

Because ToolsLibrary operates without user accounts and does not store your files, we typically do not hold identifiable personal profiles.

7. External Links

Our website may contain links to external sites or third-party documentation. If you click on a third-party link, you will be directed to that site. We strongly advise you to review the Privacy Policy of every site you visit, as we have no control over and assume no responsibility for their content or policies.

8. Children's Privacy

Our services are not intended for use by children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal identifiable information from children under 13. If we discover that a child under 13 has provided us with personal information, we will immediately take steps to remove it.
