Privacy at a glance
FreeOnlineTools is designed to provide practical browser-based image utilities. Where a tool supports local browser processing, the image operation takes place in your browser rather than requiring the image file to be uploaded to a remote image-processing server. Individual tools and external website services may have different data practices, so this policy explains those distinctions.
1. Overview
Welcome to FreeOnlineTools ("FreeOnlineTools", "we", "us", or "our"). FreeOnlineTools provides browser-based image calculators, converters, checkers, and other practical image utilities.
We take privacy seriously and aim to minimize unnecessary collection and transmission of information. This Privacy Policy describes the types of information that may be processed when you visit or use the website and explains how that information may be handled.
By using FreeOnlineTools, you acknowledge the practices described in this Privacy Policy.
2. Image Processing
Privacy is particularly important when working with personal or sensitive images.
Where a FreeOnlineTools utility supports browser-based local processing, the relevant image processing is performed directly within your web browser. This means the image does not need to be transmitted to a remote image-processing server for that operation.
Examples of operations that may be performed locally, depending on the individual tool, include image calculations, resizing, dimension-related processing, and extraction operations.
However, you should not assume that every feature or future feature of the website has identical technical behavior. Always review the information provided by the particular tool before processing highly sensitive files.
Your browser may also maintain temporary data such as memory buffers, cached resources, or temporary browser storage. These browser-level mechanisms are controlled by your browser and device rather than by FreeOnlineTools directly.
3. Information We May Collect
The information handled by FreeOnlineTools depends on how you use the website.
Information you voluntarily provide
If a contact or feedback feature is available and you choose to use it, you may voluntarily provide information such as your name, email address, subject, and message.
Technical information
Like most websites, basic technical information may be processed by web hosting infrastructure, security systems, browsers, networks, or third-party services used to operate the website.
Depending on the infrastructure in use, this can potentially include information such as:
- IP address
- Browser type and version
- Operating system
- Device characteristics
- Requested pages or resources
- Date and time of requests
- Referring pages
- Basic diagnostic or security information
The exact information retained by hosting, security, analytics, or other infrastructure providers depends on the services configured for the website.
4. Information Submitted Through Contact Forms
If you contact FreeOnlineTools through a contact or feedback form, the information you submit may be processed for the purpose of responding to your message and handling the request you made.
Please avoid submitting passwords, financial information, government identification numbers, confidential business information, or other sensitive personal information unless it is specifically necessary and there is an appropriate mechanism for handling it.
Contact submissions may be handled through the form-processing or email infrastructure configured for the website. The actual retention period can depend on that infrastructure.
5. How Information May Be Used
Information that is legitimately available to FreeOnlineTools or its service providers may be used for purposes such as:
- Providing and maintaining the website.
- Operating image utilities and related features.
- Responding to questions and feedback.
- Diagnosing technical problems.
- Detecting, preventing, and addressing abuse, fraud, or security issues.
- Understanding website performance when analytics are enabled.
- Improving the usability and functionality of the website.
- Complying with applicable legal obligations.
7. Third-Party Services
FreeOnlineTools may use third-party services to support website functionality, hosting, security, analytics, fonts, content delivery, advertising, communications, or other technical requirements.
When third-party services are present, those providers may process certain information according to their own privacy policies and terms.
Examples of third-party categories may include:
| Service category | Possible purpose |
|---|---|
| Web hosting | Serving website files and processing web requests. |
| Security services | Detecting abuse, malicious traffic, or security threats. |
| Analytics | Understanding website usage and performance, if enabled. |
| Form or email services | Processing contact requests, if a contact service is configured. |
| Content delivery | Efficiently delivering website assets such as scripts, styles, or fonts. |
The specific third-party services active on the website may change as the website develops. Where applicable, their own privacy policies should be consulted for details about their data practices.
8. Advertising
If advertising is introduced on FreeOnlineTools, advertising providers may use cookies, device identifiers, contextual information, or other technologies according to their own policies.
The website may not currently use every advertising technology described in this section. This section is intended to explain the privacy implications of advertising if and when such services are enabled.
9. Data Security
We aim to use reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect information handled through the website.
Browser-based image processing can reduce the need to transmit supported image files to a remote processing server. However, no website, network connection, browser, or electronic storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
Users should therefore exercise appropriate caution when processing or submitting highly sensitive information online.
10. Data Retention
FreeOnlineTools does not claim a single universal retention period for every category of information. Retention depends on how information is collected and which infrastructure or service processes it.
Images processed locally by a supported browser tool are not intentionally uploaded to a remote image-processing server merely for that local operation.
Information associated with contact requests, server logs, security systems, analytics, or third-party services may be retained according to the relevant technical configuration and applicable requirements.
11. Children's Privacy
FreeOnlineTools is a general-purpose website and is not specifically directed toward collecting personal information from children.
We do not knowingly request unnecessary personal information from children. If you believe that a child has provided personal information through the website and that information should be removed, please contact us with the relevant details.
12. External Links
FreeOnlineTools may contain links to websites, services, or resources operated by third parties.
We are not responsible for the privacy practices, security, content, or policies of external websites. When you follow an external link, you should review the privacy policy of the destination website.
13. Your Privacy Choices
Depending on your browser, device, and the services used by the website, you may have choices regarding cookies, browser storage, analytics, and other forms of local or online tracking.
You can also choose not to provide optional information through contact or feedback features.
Please note that restricting certain browser technologies may affect how some website features function.
14. Legal Requirements
Information may be disclosed where reasonably necessary to comply with applicable law, legal process, court orders, governmental requests, or to protect the rights, safety, security, and integrity of the website, its users, or others.
15. Changes to This Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy may be updated from time to time as FreeOnlineTools changes its features, infrastructure, services, or privacy practices.
When changes are made, the updated policy will be published on this page and the "Last updated" date will be revised.
You should periodically review this page to stay informed about the current privacy practices.
