Important Privacy Notice

At Gotools.online, we take your privacy seriously. All our tools work entirely in your browser. We DO NOT collect, store, or process any of your personal data or files on our servers.

1. Introduction

Welcome to Gotools.online. This Privacy Policy explains how we handle information when you use our website and tools. We are committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring that your personal information remains secure.

Gotools.online ("we," "our," or "us") provides free online tools that operate entirely within your web browser. By using our website, you agree to the terms outlined in this Privacy Policy.

Please read this Privacy Policy carefully. If you do not agree with our policies and practices, please do not use our website.

2. Information We DON'T Collect

Unlike many other websites, Gotools.online is designed with privacy as our top priority. We DO NOT COLLECT the following types of information:

  • Personal Information: We don't collect names, email addresses, phone numbers, or any other personal identifiers.
  • Files You Process: Any files you upload for processing (images, documents, etc.) never leave your browser.
  • Location Data: We don't track your geographical location or IP address.
  • Usage Data: We don't monitor which tools you use or how you interact with them.
  • Cookies for Tracking: We don't use tracking cookies or analytics that identify individual users.

Our tools are built to work 100% client-side, meaning all processing happens on your device, and no data is transmitted to our servers.

3. How Our Tools Work

All tools on Gotools.online operate using client-side processing. This means:

  1. When you upload a file or enter data, it stays within your web browser
  2. All processing (resizing images, converting files, calculations, etc.) happens on your device
  3. Once processing is complete, you download the result directly to your device
  4. No data is uploaded to or stored on our servers
  5. Your files and data are automatically removed from your browser's memory when you close the page

This approach ensures maximum privacy and security for our users. Even we cannot access the files or data you process through our tools.

4. Third-Party Services

To provide our services, we may use the following third-party services:

  • Content Delivery Networks (CDNs): We may use CDNs to deliver JavaScript libraries and other resources needed for our tools to function. These CDNs may collect standard log information for operational purposes.
  • Font Services: We may use services like Google Fonts to display fonts on our website.
  • Icon Libraries: We use Font Awesome for icons throughout our site.

These third-party services have their own privacy policies governing how they handle information. We encourage you to review their privacy policies:

5. Cookies

Gotools.online uses minimal cookies only for essential functions:

  • Essential Cookies: We may use session cookies that are necessary for some tools to function properly. These cookies are automatically deleted when you close your browser.
  • No Tracking Cookies: We do not use cookies for tracking, advertising, or analytics purposes.
  • Third-Party Cookies: Some third-party services we use (like CDNs) may set their own cookies. We have no control over these cookies.

You can control cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to refuse cookies or delete them. However, disabling cookies may affect the functionality of some tools.

6. Data Security

We implement several security measures to protect our website and users:

  • HTTPS Encryption: Our website uses SSL/TLS encryption to secure connections between your browser and our server.
  • No Data Storage: Since we don't collect or store user data, there's no database of personal information to secure.
  • Regular Security Audits: We regularly review our code and infrastructure for security vulnerabilities.
  • Secure Hosting: Our website is hosted on secure servers with proper firewall protection.

However, no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is 100% secure. While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your information, we cannot guarantee absolute security.

7. Children's Privacy

Gotools.online is not directed at children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.

If you are a parent or guardian and you believe that your child has provided us with personal information, please contact us immediately. If we become aware that we have collected personal information from a child under 13, we will take steps to remove that information from our records.

Our tools are designed to be safe for users of all ages, as they don't require personal information or account creation.

8. Changes to This Policy

We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page and updating the "Last Updated" date.

You are advised to review this Privacy Policy periodically for any changes. Changes to this Privacy Policy are effective when they are posted on this page.

Continued use of our website after any changes to this Privacy Policy constitutes acceptance of those changes.
