Privacy Policy

Who We Are

ToolsGini (https://toolsgini.in) is a free online tools platform offering a wide range of browser-based utilities - from PDF tools and image editors to developer tools, AI tools, text utilities, calculators, converters, generators, validators, security tools, and productivity tools.

We are independent tool builders committed to keeping the web open, fast, and privacy-friendly.

The Short Version

• Most tools on ToolsGini process your files and data directly inside your browser. Nothing is uploaded to our servers.
• We collect basic, anonymous usage data to understand how the site is used and to improve it.
• We show ads via Google AdSense, which may use cookies to personalise what you see.
• We do not sell your personal data. Ever.

What Data We Collect

1. Data You Process with Our Tools

This is the big one - and we want to be very clear about it.

When you use most ToolsGini tools (PDF compressor, image converter, text formatter, etc.), your files and data never leave your device. All the processing happens locally in your web browser using JavaScript. We do not receive, store, or transmit your files.

For example:

• Upload a PDF to compress it → compressed in your browser, downloaded directly to your device.
• Use the password generator → passwords are created on your device and never sent anywhere.
• Use the image converter → your image is processed locally, we see nothing.

In rare cases where a tool requires server-side processing (such as certain AI-powered tools), we will clearly state this within the tool. Any data sent to our servers for processing is deleted immediately after the task is completed and is never stored.

2. Usage and Analytics Data

We use standard analytics tools to understand how visitors use the website. This may include:

• Pages you visit and tools you use
• How long you spend on a page
• Your approximate geographic location (country/region level)
• The device type, browser, and operating system you're using
• The source that referred you to the site (e.g. Google, social media)

This data is aggregated and anonymous - we cannot identify you personally from it. We use it solely to improve the tools and overall experience on ToolsGini.

3. Cookies

We use cookies - small text files stored in your browser - for the following purposes:

• Functional cookies: To remember your preferences (like dark mode or recent tool settings) so the experience feels consistent across visits.
• Analytics cookies: To collect anonymous usage statistics as described above.
• Advertising cookies: Google AdSense uses cookies to show ads that may be relevant to you, based on your browsing habits. These are managed by Google and governed by their own privacy policy.

You can control or disable cookies at any time through your browser settings. Note that disabling certain cookies may affect how some parts of the site function.

Advertising

To keep all tools completely free for everyone, ToolsGini may show relevant, non-intrusive advertisements on certain pages. These ads help us cover hosting costs, development time, and keep the platform running without paywalls or premium tiers.

We use Google AdSense to serve these ads. Google AdSense may use cookies and similar technologies to display ads that are relevant to your interests, based on your browsing activity across websites. These cookies are managed by Google and governed by Google's Privacy Policy.

Here's what you should know about the ads on ToolsGini:

• We use Google AdSense as our advertising partner
• Google may use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this or other websites
• You can opt out of personalised advertising by visiting Google Ad Settings
• We do not control the content of third-party ads displayed on our site

We are committed to keeping ads minimal and non-disruptive, so they never get in the way of the tools you came here to use.

Children's Privacy

ToolsGini is not directed at children under the age of 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal data, please contact us at contact@toolsgini.in and we will take immediate steps to address it.

Your Rights

Depending on where you are in the world, you may have certain rights regarding your data:

If You're in the EU or UK (GDPR)

Under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), you have the right to:

• Access the personal data we hold about you
• Correct inaccurate data
• Delete your data (the "right to be forgotten")
• Object to or restrict how your data is processed
• Data portability - receive your data in a usable format

If You're in California (CCPA)

Under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), you have the right to know what personal information we collect, to request deletion, and to opt out of the sale of your personal data. To be clear: we do not sell personal data.

To exercise any of these rights, simply reach out to us at contact@toolsgini.in. We'll respond within a reasonable timeframe.

Data Security

We take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect the site and any data associated with it. Since most tool processing happens entirely in your browser, the risk of data exposure is significantly reduced by design.

That said, no system on the internet is 100% bulletproof. We continuously work to keep ToolsGini secure, but we encourage you to use best practices on your end too - like keeping your browser up to date.

Links to Other Websites

ToolsGini may contain links to third-party websites or resources. We have no control over the content or privacy practices of those sites, and this Privacy Policy does not apply to them. We recommend reading the privacy policies of any external sites you visit.

Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, tools, or legal requirements. When we do, we'll update the "Last Updated" date at the top of this page.

We won't notify you individually for minor updates, but if we make significant changes that affect how your data is handled, we'll make that clear - either on this page or with a notice on the site.

We encourage you to review this page periodically to stay informed.
