Our Commitment to Your Privacy

1. Introduction: A Policy for Humans

Welcome to FreeToolsDaily. We’re glad you’re here. This document is our Privacy Policy. We know that these pages can often be long, confusing, and full of complicated legal language. We’ve done our absolute best to make this one different.

Our goal is to be completely transparent and straightforward. This policy is our promise to you about how we handle—and more importantly, how we don’t handle—your data. We believe your privacy is a fundamental right, and our entire website is built around that core principle. We want you to feel safe, secure, and confident when you use our tools.

This policy will explain in simple terms what information is involved when you visit our site, why it’s necessary for the site to function, and how we uphold our commitment to your privacy at every step.

2. Our Core Philosophy: Privacy by Design

The most effective way to protect your privacy is to not collect your personal data in the first place. This is the simple but powerful philosophy that guides everything we build. It’s a concept known as “Privacy by Design.”

Client-Side Processing: What It Means for You

The vast majority of our tools work on a “client-side” basis. This is a technical term, but the concept is simple and crucial for you to understand.

When you use a tool—like pasting text into a word counter or selecting an image for a resizer—all the work, calculations, and conversions happen directly within your own web browser on your own computer or phone.

Your data, your text, and your files are never uploaded to our servers. We never see them, we never store them, and we have no access to them at any point.

The tool’s code is sent to your browser, and your browser does all the work locally. Once you close the page, the data you were working with is gone.

This architectural choice is our fundamental privacy guarantee. We can’t lose, misuse, or have your personal data stolen if we never have it in the first place.

3. The Information We Handle

To be perfectly clear, let’s break down the types of information involved when you use FreeToolsDaily.

A. Personally Identifiable Information (PII)

This is data that can be used to directly identify you. This includes things like your name, email address, phone number, physical address, or social security number.

• We do not collect any Personally Identifiable Information from you.
• You will never be asked to create an account.
• You will never be asked to sign up for a newsletter to use a tool.
• You will never be asked for your name or email address.
• You can use our entire suite of tools anonymously.

B. Non-Personal Technical Information

Like virtually all websites on the internet, our web servers (provided by Google’s Blogger platform) automatically collect some basic technical information that your web browser sends when you visit. This information is non-personal and cannot be used to identify you. It includes:

• Browser Type & Version: (e.g., Chrome, Firefox, Safari). This helps us ensure our tools work correctly on different browsers.
• Operating System: (e.g., Windows, macOS, Android). This helps us optimize the site for different devices.
• General Location (Country/City): This is derived from your IP address but is not precise. It helps us understand where our users are coming from globally.
• Pages Visited & Time Spent: We can see which tools are most popular and how long users stay on a page. This helps us understand what is valuable to our users so we can build more of what you love.

This aggregated, anonymous data is essential for maintaining and improving the website. It helps us diagnose technical problems, fight against malicious attacks, and understand which of our tools are the most helpful to the community.

4. How We Use Cookies

Cookies are small text files that a website stores on your computer to remember certain information. Our use of cookies is minimal and focused on functionality, not tracking.

• Essential Cookies: Our platform, Blogger (a Google service), uses cookies that are necessary for the website to function properly. For example, they might remember a preference you’ve set.
• No Tracking or Advertising Cookies: We do not use third-party cookies for advertising or to track your browsing habits across the internet. The cookies on our site are for our site alone.

Your Control Over Cookies

You have complete control over cookies. You can view, manage, and delete them at any time through your web browser’s settings. Please be aware that if you choose to disable all cookies, some parts of our website may not function as intended.

5. Your Rights and Control Over Your Data

We deeply respect the principles behind global data privacy regulations like the GDPR in Europe and the CCPA in California. While these laws have specific requirements for businesses that collect and process personal data, our “collect nothing” approach is designed to uphold the spirit of these laws in the most user-centric way possible.

Here are your rights when using FreeToolsDaily:

• The Right to Anonymity: You have the right to use our services without providing any personal information, a right we protect by never asking for it.
• The Right to Access, Rectify, or Erase Data: Because we do not collect or store any personal data about you, there is no information for us to provide, correct, or delete. Your data remains on your device and is erased when you leave the site. This is the ultimate form of data control.
• The Right to Control Cookies: As mentioned above, you have the right to control all cookies via your browser settings.

Our compliance with the principles of data minimization and privacy by design means that you are in control by default.

6. Data Security

Even though we don’t store your personal files or information, we take the security of our website and your session very seriously.

• HTTPS Encryption: Our entire website uses HTTPS (Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure). You will see a padlock icon in your browser’s address bar. This means that the connection between your browser and our server is encrypted, protecting the data in transit from being snooped on.
• Secure Practices: We are committed to following modern security best practices in our code to protect our site from vulnerabilities.

7. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

We want to be as clear as possible. Here are answers to some questions you might have.

Do you see the text I paste into the word counter or other text tools?
No. Absolutely not. That text is processed inside your browser and is never sent to us. We have no access to it.

Do you store the images I use in the image converter?
No. Just like with text, your images are processed locally in your browser. They are never uploaded to our servers.

Are my files safe with your tools?
Yes. Because your files never leave your computer, they are as safe as if you were working on them in an offline application.

Why do you need to know my browser type or country?
We don’t know your specific browser, we see anonymous, aggregated statistics. For example, we might see that “70% of our visitors use Chrome.” This information is vital for us to find and fix bugs and ensure our tools work for the vast majority of our users. Knowing the country helps us understand our global reach.

Are your tools really free? What’s the catch?
Yes, they are 100% free. There is no catch. This project is a labor of love, driven by our belief in a more open and accessible internet. Our operational costs are very low, which allows us to offer these tools as a free resource for the community.

How can I trust you?
Trust is earned through transparency and consistency. We hope that this detailed, plain-language policy, combined with our “privacy by design” philosophy and the fact that our tools simply work without asking for anything in return, will demonstrate our commitment to being a trustworthy resource.

8. Children’s Privacy

Our services are intended for a general audience and are not directed at anyone under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect any information from children.

9. Changes to This Policy

The digital world is always evolving, and we may need to update this policy in the future. If we make any significant changes, we will post the new policy on this page and update the “Effective Date” at the top. We encourage you to check back periodically.
