Privacy Policy

UsualToolbox ("we", "us", or "our") operates the website usualtoolbox.com (the "Site"). This Privacy Policy explains how we handle information when you use our free, browser-based tools.

Our privacy-first approach

UsualToolbox is designed to run entirely in your browser. The files you open in our tools — images, audio, video, PDFs, and text — are processed locally on your device and are never uploaded to our servers. We do not receive, store, or have access to the contents of the files you process.

Information we collect

You do not need an account, and we do not ask for personal information to use the tools. The following limited data may be involved:

• Local storage on your device: Some tools save preferences or temporary working data in your browser's local storage or IndexedDB. This never leaves your device.
• Server and CDN logs: Our hosting provider may automatically log standard technical information (such as IP address, browser type, and pages requested) for security and reliability.
• Advertising cookies: As described below, third-party advertising partners may set cookies in your browser.

Cookies and advertising

We use Google AdSense to display advertising. Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this Site or other websites.

• Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visit to this Site and/or other sites on the Internet.
• You may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings.
• Alternatively, you may opt out of a third party's use of cookies for personalized advertising by visiting www.aboutads.info.
• Learn more in How Google uses information from sites or apps that use our services.

For more detail, see our Cookie Policy.

Consent (EEA, UK, and Switzerland)

If you are located in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, or Switzerland, we ask for your consent before setting non-essential cookies (including advertising cookies) through a consent management platform. You can change or withdraw your consent at any time. Personalized ads are shown only where you have given consent; otherwise you may see non-personalized ads.

Your rights

Depending on where you live, you may have rights over your personal data:

• GDPR (EEA/UK): the right to access, correct, delete, or object to the processing of your personal data, and to withdraw consent.
• CCPA (California): the right to know what personal information is collected and to opt out of its "sale" or "sharing". We do not sell your personal information.

To exercise any of these rights, email us at winsley1994522@gmail.com.

Third-party links and embedded content

Some tools may load third-party content. For example, the EXIF Viewer can display a map for a photo's GPS coordinates using Google Maps; in that case only the coordinates are sent to Google to render the map, while your photo itself stays on your device. Third-party services are governed by their own privacy policies.

Children's privacy

The Site is not directed to children under 13 (or the equivalent minimum age in your jurisdiction), and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them.

Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with a revised "Last updated" date.
