Privacy Policy for Ideal Tools
Last Updated: July 27, 2025
Welcome to Ideal Tools ("we," "us," or "our"). We are committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we handle information when you visit our website (idealtools.link) and use our free online tools (our "Services").
Our guiding principle is to collect as little information as possible. For most of our tools, your data is processed right in your browser and never even touches our servers.
1. Information We Do Not Collect
For the vast majority of our tools (like text converters, calculators, and client-side image editors), any data, text, or files you input are processed entirely within your web browser. This information is never sent to, stored on, or seen by our servers.
2. Information We Process Temporarily
A few of our tools, such as file converters (e.g., PDF to Word, Image Format Converter), require processing on our servers to function. When you upload a file for conversion:
Your file is temporarily uploaded to our secure servers for the sole purpose of processing.
We do not read, review, or data-mine the contents of your files.
All uploaded files are automatically and permanently deleted from our servers within one hour of processing.
3. Information We Collect Automatically
Like most websites, we collect some basic information automatically to help us maintain and improve our Services:
Log Files: We use standard log files that record non-personal information such as your IP address, browser type, Internet Service Provider (ISP), the date and time of your visit, and the pages you visited. This helps us analyze trends, administer the site, and ensure its security.
Cookies: Cookies are small text files stored on your device. We use them to enhance your experience and for advertising purposes. You can choose to disable cookies through your browser settings, though some of our Services may not function properly as a result.
4. Advertising
We partner with third-party advertising companies, like Google AdSense, to serve ads when you visit our website. These ads help us keep Ideal Tools completely free for everyone.
Our advertising partners may use cookies (such as the Google DART cookie) to serve ads based on your visit to our site and other sites on the internet.
We do not share any personal information with our advertising partners.
You can opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google's Ad Settings page. For more information, please review the Google Ad Privacy Policy.
5. Your Data Protection Rights
We are committed to ensuring you are fully aware of your data protection rights. Depending on your location, you may have the right to access, correct, or request the deletion of any personal information we hold. Since we store virtually no personal data, these instances will be rare, but if you have any concerns, please contact us.
6. Children's Privacy
Our Services are not intended for anyone under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from children. If you believe that your child has provided us with personal information, please contact us immediately, and we will take steps to remove it.
7. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new policy on this page. We encourage you to review this page periodically for any updates.
8. Contact Us
