Privacy Policy

Last Updated: September 2026

At ToolVault, your privacy is our priority. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and how we ensure your data remains secure when you use our website.

1. Local File Processing

Unlike many online file utilities, ToolVault is built entirely on client-side web technologies (JavaScript and WebAssembly). This means that your files are processed locally on your device.

When you compress an image, merge a PDF, or calculate text metrics, the files are never uploaded to our servers. Because we do not upload, process, or store your files remotely, we have absolutely no access to your personal documents, images, or sensitive data.

2. Data Collection and Analytics

To understand how our website is used and to improve our services, we use Vercel Analytics (or similar privacy-friendly analytics providers). This tool collects anonymous, aggregated data such as:

  • Page views and interactions
  • Browser type and operating system
  • General location data (country/city level)
  • Referring websites

This data is not linked to any personally identifiable information. We do not track individual users across the web.

3. Third-Party Advertising and Cookies

To keep ToolVault free for everyone, we use third-party advertising companies, including Google, to serve ads when you visit our website.

  • 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 our users based on their visit to our site and/or other sites on the Internet.
  • Users may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Ads Settings. Alternatively, you can opt out of a third-party vendor's use of cookies for personalized advertising by visiting www.aboutads.info.

4. External Links

Our website may contain links to external sites that are not operated by us. Please be aware that we have no control over the content and practices of these sites, and cannot accept responsibility or liability for their respective privacy policies.

5. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated "Last Updated" date.
