Privacy Policy

1. Local Browser File Processing (Zero File Storage)

At Toolbox, our PDF utilities, image optimizers, format converters, and QR code generators are engineered to run locally inside your web browser. Your files are neither uploaded to nor stored on our servers. All file operations occur inside your device's temporary memory (RAM).

2. Personal Data Collection

We do not require user registration, accounts, or personal details to use any tool on this platform. We only receive contact details if you voluntarily email our support address (support@toolbox.online).

3. Google AdSense, Consent Mode v2 & Certified CMP

This platform is funded exclusively through advertising displayed via Google AdSense. Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on a user's prior visits to this website or other websites.

For users in the European Economic Area (EEA), the United Kingdom, and Switzerland, advertising consent is managed in compliance with the EU User Consent Policy via a Google-certified Consent Management Platform (CMP) implementing IAB TCF v2.2 and Google Consent Mode v2 (`ad_storage`, `ad_user_data`, `ad_personalization`, `analytics_storage`). Consent signals default to denied unless explicitly granted.

Users may review or opt out of personalized advertising at any time by visiting Google Ads Settings (adssettings.google.com).

4. Standard Server Log Files

Like all standard web servers, our hosting infrastructure automatically records basic network metadata (browser user-agent, referring page, timestamp, and IP address) strictly for security, abuse prevention, and operational stability.

5. Your Privacy Rights & Contact

You can clear or block cookies through your browser settings or manage your consent preferences on our site. If you have any questions regarding this Privacy Policy, please contact us at support@toolbox.online.
