How Your Privacy is Protected

100% Local Processing

Every file you open is processed inside your browser tab. No data leaves your device, ever.

No Server Interaction

We serve only HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. Your files exist only in your browser's memory.

Zero Data Collection

No name, no email, no payment info. We don't have an account system - there's nothing to collect.

Works Offline

After the page loads, tools work without internet. Disconnect your WiFi and try - it still works.

1. No File Uploads

Your files never leave your device

Every tool on EveryTool - PDF compressor, image resizer, JSON formatter, unit converter, and all others - processes your files entirely within your web browser using JavaScript and modern browser APIs. No file data is transmitted over the network to our servers or to any third-party server.

We have zero technical access to any file you open in our tools. EveryTool's servers serve only the HTML, CSS, and JavaScript code that runs in your browser - the actual file processing happens locally on your device.

2. Privacy by Design

EveryTool is built on a client-side processing architecture. Here is what that means technically:

  • When you visit a tool page: EveryTool's servers send you the JavaScript code for that tool. That is the only server interaction.
  • When you upload a file: The file is read by your browser's JavaScript engine using the FileReader API. The data stays in your browser's memory and is never sent over the network.
  • When the tool processes your file: Libraries like pdf-lib, pdfjs-dist, and browser Canvas APIs perform the processing entirely within your browser tab.
  • When you download the result: Your browser generates a local Blob URL and triggers a download - no upload to any server occurs at any point.
  • After you close the tab: All file data in browser memory is cleared automatically. EveryTool retains nothing.

3. Information We Collect

What we do NOT collect

  • Your name, email address, or any contact information
  • Payment information (EveryTool is free and has no payment system)
  • Any file content, file names, or metadata from files you process
  • Account information (EveryTool has no account system)
  • Location data beyond country-level (from analytics)

What we DO collect

We use Google Analytics 4 to collect anonymous, aggregated data about how users interact with the platform:

  • Pages visited and tools used (no file content)
  • Approximate geographic region (country/city level, IP anonymized)
  • Browser type and device type
  • Session duration and navigation patterns

IP anonymization is enabled - your full IP address is never stored.

4. Cookies

5. Advertising

If this changes in the future, this policy will be updated with specific details about any advertising partners, the cookies they use, and how to opt out.

8. Your Rights (GDPR & CCPA)

Depending on your location, you may have the following rights:

Right to Access

Request information about what personal data we hold about you.

Right to Rectification

Request correction of inaccurate personal data.

Right to Erasure

Request deletion of your personal data (right to be forgotten).

Right to Restrict

Request that we limit how we use your personal data.

Right to Portability

Right to Object

Object to processing of your personal data for specific purposes.

Important: Because EveryTool does not collect personal data (no name, email, or file content), most of these rights are satisfied by design. We cannot access, store, or share data we never collected.

California residents (CCPA): EveryTool does not sell personal information. We do not share data with third parties for behavioral advertising.

9. Children's Privacy

EveryTool is not directed at children under 13 years of age (or under 16 in the EU/UK under GDPR). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. In compliance with COPPA, we do not knowingly collect, use, or disclose personal information from children under 13.

Because EveryTool does not collect personal information from any user, children using the tools are not at risk of data exposure.

10. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we make changes, we will update the Last Updated date at the top of this page. Your continued use of EveryTool after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
