Privacy Policy

1. Scope and contact

This Privacy Policy applies to FreeToolLabs.com and the calculators, PDF tools, image tools, text tools, converters, developer tools, generators, AI-labelled tools, SEO tools, utility tools, security tools, and other pages available through the website.

FreeToolLabs does not require account registration for normal tool use. Questions about this policy may be sent through our Contact page or by email at contact@freetoollabs.com.

2. Information we may collect

Information you provide

We may receive information you voluntarily provide, such as your name, email address, message, and any details you include when contacting us.

Technical and usage information

Our hosting, security, analytics, and advertising systems may automatically process technical information such as IP address, browser and device type, operating system, referring page, pages viewed, approximate location derived from IP address, timestamps, error logs, security events, cookie identifiers, and interactions with website content or advertisements.

Tool inputs and uploaded files

Depending on the tool, you may enter numbers, text, code, URLs, invoice details, expense records, or upload documents and images. Many tools process information directly in your browser. Some tools may use temporary server-side processing, a third-party library, or an external service when that is necessary to provide the requested result.

3. How tool data is handled

• Browser-side tools: When a tool runs locally, its inputs and files are processed on your device unless the page clearly indicates otherwise.
• Temporary processing: When server-side or external processing is required, information may be transmitted only as needed to perform the requested action, maintain security, or deliver the result.
• AI Paragraph Generator: When secure AI mode is available, the topic, instructions, and related text entered into this tool are sent through the FreeToolLabs server to OpenAI for paragraph generation. The page identifies when secure AI mode was used. If that service is unavailable, the tool switches to a local browser fallback and identifies the result as a local draft. Do not submit confidential or sensitive information.
• Browser storage: Some tools may use session storage, local storage, IndexedDB, or cookies to preserve preferences or tool data. Tool-specific controls may allow you to clear that information.
• Downloads: Files and reports generated by a tool are normally downloaded to your device. You are responsible for protecting downloaded files.

Do not submit highly sensitive, confidential, regulated, or legally protected information unless you have independently determined that the particular tool is appropriate for that information.

4. How we use information

• To operate, maintain, troubleshoot, and improve the website and its tools.
• To generate the result, file, conversion, calculation, or report you request.
• To respond to questions, feedback, or support requests.
• To understand website usage and improve navigation, performance, accessibility, and content.
• To detect fraud, abuse, malicious activity, security incidents, and invalid advertising traffic.
• To display, measure, and manage advertising where advertising services are enabled.
• To comply with legal obligations and enforce applicable website terms.

Where required by applicable law, processing may be based on consent. Other processing may be necessary to provide a requested service, comply with law, or support our legitimate interests in operating and securing the website.

5. Cookies and similar technologies

FreeToolLabs and its service providers may use cookies, web storage, pixels, web beacons, IP addresses, and similar technologies for website functionality, security, fraud prevention, preference storage, audience measurement, analytics, and advertising.

Cookies may be session cookies that expire when you close your browser or persistent cookies that remain until they expire or are deleted. You can usually delete or block cookies through your browser settings, although doing so may affect tool features, saved preferences, consent controls, or advertising.

6. Google AdSense and advertising cookies

FreeToolLabs uses or may use Google AdSense to display advertisements. Third-party vendors, including Google, may place and read cookies on your browser or use web beacons, IP addresses, device identifiers, and similar technologies to serve, limit, personalize, secure, and measure advertisements.

Google's use of advertising cookies enables Google and its partners to serve ads based on your visits to FreeToolLabs and/or other websites. Depending on your consent choices, location, account settings, and applicable law, ads may be personalized, non-personalized, or limited.

You can learn how Google uses information from sites that use its services by visiting How Google uses information from partner sites. You can review Google's cookie practices at How Google uses cookies.

You may manage personalized advertising through Google My Ad Center. You may also learn about opting out of certain third-party advertising cookies through YourAdChoices. Disabling personalized ads does not necessarily remove all advertising.

7. Consent and privacy choices

Where required by law, visitors may be asked to consent to the use of non-essential cookies or local storage and to the collection, sharing, and use of personal data for advertising personalization. Consent choices may affect whether personalized, non-personalized, or limited ads are shown.

You may also control privacy through browser cookie settings, device permissions, advertising settings, and any consent-management controls presented on the website. Withdrawing consent does not affect processing that occurred before withdrawal.

8. Service providers and information sharing

We may share or allow processing of information with providers that help us operate the website, including hosting, content delivery, security, analytics, advertising, error monitoring, and tool-processing services. These providers process information under their own terms, privacy policies, or contractual obligations.

We may also disclose information when reasonably necessary to comply with law, respond to valid legal process, protect users or the public, investigate abuse, enforce our terms, or protect the rights, property, and security of FreeToolLabs.

9. Data retention

We retain information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, including providing tools, responding to messages, maintaining security, resolving disputes, meeting legal obligations, and preventing fraud or abuse. Retention periods may differ for server logs, contact messages, consent records, cookies, and data processed by third-party providers.

10. Data security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures intended to protect the website and information processed through it. However, no website, browser tool, storage method, download, or internet transmission can be guaranteed to be completely secure. You use the website and submit information at your own discretion.

11. Children's privacy

FreeToolLabs is a general-audience website and is not directed to children under the age required for independent online consent in their location. We do not knowingly request personal information from children. A parent or guardian who believes a child has submitted personal information may contact us to request review and appropriate action.

12. International processing

FreeToolLabs and its service providers may process information in countries other than the country where you live. Privacy and data-protection laws may differ between countries. Where required, service providers are responsible for using appropriate safeguards for international transfers.

13. Your privacy rights

Depending on your location and applicable law, you may have rights to request access, correction, deletion, restriction, portability, or objection to certain processing. You may also have rights concerning targeted advertising, the sale or sharing of personal information, or automated processing.

To submit a privacy request, contact contact@freetoollabs.com. We may need to verify your request and may retain limited information where required by law, security, fraud prevention, or recordkeeping obligations.

14. Third-party links

FreeToolLabs may link to websites and services that we do not control. Their privacy practices are governed by their own policies. Review those policies before submitting information or using external services.

15. Changes to this Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy when website features, tools, providers, advertising practices, or legal requirements change. The revised policy will be posted on this page with an updated date. Material changes may also be highlighted through the website when appropriate.
