Privacy Policy

1. 100% Client-Side Processing

At Tools That Should Be Free, we prioritize your data privacy. All our utility applications—including the QR Code Generator and the Image Compressor—process your files, parameters, and images strictly inside your local web browser (using local memory, Canvas APIs, and local storage/cache). Your images, documents, and inputs are never uploaded, sent, or processed on our servers. We do not store, view, or have access to any content you generate or optimize.

2. Cookies and Third-Party Advertising

We use third-party advertising companies to serve ads when you visit our website. These companies (specifically Google via Google AdSense) may use cookies, web beacons, and other tracking technologies to gather information about your visits to this and other websites in order to provide advertisements about goods and services of interest to you.

Specifically, Google's use of the DoubleClick cookie enables it and its partners to serve ads to users based on their visit to our site and/or other sites on the Internet. Users may opt out of the use of the DoubleClick cookie for interest-based advertising by visiting Google's Ad and Content Network Privacy Policy.

3. Third-Party Links

Our website contains links to other websites (for example, code libraries and tool integrations). We are not responsible for the privacy practices or contents of third-party websites.

4. Log Files and Analytics

Like most standard website servers, we may collect minimal non-personally-identifying information of the sort that web browsers and servers typically make available, such as browser type, referring site, and language preference. This is solely for operational analytics and website maintenance.

5. Consent

By using our website, you hereby consent to our Privacy Policy and agree to its terms.
