Our promise: Your privacy matters. We collect minimal data, never sell personal information, and process files securely. This policy explains exactly how we handle your information.

What Information We Collect

We limit data collection to what is necessary for operating our services:

  • Basic usage data: Anonymous information about which pages and tools are accessed, used for improving our services. This cannot identify you personally.
  • Files you upload: Files are processed temporarily in memory and are not stored longer than needed to complete the requested operation.
  • Optional contact information: If you contact us through our form, we receive only the information you choose to provide.

What We Do NOT Collect

We explicitly do not collect the following:

  • No personal identification without your explicit consent
  • No browsing history or tracking across websites
  • No location data
  • No biometric or sensitive information
  • No unnecessary cookies or fingerprinting

How We Handle Uploaded Files

When you upload a file to use one of our tools:

  • Files are processed in memory on our servers
  • Files are automatically deleted after processing is complete
  • We do not read, analyze, or store file contents beyond what is technically required for the tool to function
  • Processed result files are available for download and then removed from our systems
  • We do not use uploaded files for training, analysis, or any purpose other than providing the requested service

Data Security Practices

  • All connections use HTTPS/TLS encryption
  • File processing occurs in isolated environments
  • We follow industry-standard security practices
  • Regular security reviews are conducted
  • Access to any stored data is strictly limited and audited

Advertising

OpenServiceTools is supported by non-intrusive advertisements. Here is how we handle ads responsibly:

  • No behavioral tracking: We do not use advertising cookies or tracking pixels to follow you across the web.
  • Contextual ads: Ads are displayed based on the page content you are viewing, not based on your personal data or browsing history.
  • Clearly marked: All advertisements are clearly labeled so you can distinguish them from tool content.
  • No pop-ups or autoplay: We do not use intrusive ad formats like pop-ups, autoplay video ads, or interstitials that block your work.
  • Your data is not for sale: We never sell your personal information to advertisers. Your privacy is not a trade-off for free access.

Cookies and Analytics

We use minimal cookies and analytics that respect your privacy:

  • Essential cookies: Used only for basic functionality and security.
  • Analytics: We use privacy-respecting analytics that do not track you across websites. No personal data is sent to analytics providers.
  • No advertising cookies: We do not use advertising cookies or third-party trackers. Our ads do not follow you between websites.

Your Rights

You have the right to:

  • Know what data we hold about you
  • Request deletion of any data we may hold
  • Opt out of any non-essential data collection
  • Contact us with privacy concerns at any time

To exercise these rights, please contact us.

Third-Party Services

We do not sell, trade, or transfer your information to third parties. We do not use third-party services that would have access to your uploaded files or personal data beyond standard infrastructure providers (hosting, CDN) who are bound by data processing agreements.

Policy Updates

If we make changes to this privacy policy, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. Material changes will be communicated through our website.
