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
Advertising
OpenServiceTools may use non-intrusive advertisements to support infrastructure and development. Here is how we handle ads responsibly:
- Careful placement: Ads are placed so they do not interrupt core tool workflows or hide important content.
- Limited data sharing: We do not sell your personal information. Advertising partners may receive technical information required to serve and measure ads, such as IP address, browser information, and cookie identifiers.
- Context and automated delivery: Ads may be selected based on page context, general location, device information, and ad platform signals subject to your browser and consent settings.
- 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 analytics and operational measurements to understand traffic, reliability, and product usage trends.
- Advertising technologies: When ads are enabled, Google and other advertising partners may place and read cookies, use web beacons, and collect IP address or similar identifiers in order to serve, limit, personalize, and measure ads where legally permitted.
- User choice: Where required, we rely on consent controls or browser/device settings before enabling optional advertising features.

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 or trade your personal information. We may rely on third-party providers for hosting, CDN delivery, analytics, uptime monitoring, abuse prevention, and advertising. Those providers only receive the information reasonably required to perform their role and are expected to process it under their own contractual and legal obligations.
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.
