Privacy Policy

Overview

FileToolsHub provides free online file and text tools. This policy explains what data we process and how long we keep it.

Uploaded files

When you use server-side tools (PDF, image, spreadsheet conversion), files are uploaded temporarily for processing. We do not sell your files. Processed outputs are available for download for a limited time, then removed from storage.

Browser-based tools

Text and developer tools (JSON, YAML, regex, encoders, generators, and similar) run entirely in your browser. That content is not uploaded to our servers.

Accounts & guest IDs

Optional accounts store email and authentication data needed to sign in. Guest usage may use a random local identifier for rate limiting and job tracking.

Analytics

We may use privacy-conscious analytics (such as Firebase Analytics) to understand aggregate traffic and improve the product. Analytics does not require access to your file contents.

Advertising

We use Google AdSense to show ads on quality pages (hubs, guides, and tools with unique documentation). Thin catalog pages may omit ads. Google and its partners may use cookies or similar technologies to serve personalized or non-personalized ads based on your visits to this and other sites. You can manage ad preferences at Google Ad Settings and opt out of personalized ads via the NAI consumer opt-out. In the EEA, UK, and Switzerland we use Google’s certified consent messaging (Funding Choices) before personalized ads. Ad scripts do not receive your uploaded file contents from our tools. Questions: Contact.

We also use the Meta Pixel (Facebook) to measure ad performance and understand how visitors use the site after seeing our ads. Meta may set cookies and collect usage data according to Meta’s policies. You can adjust ad settings in your Facebook/Meta account. The pixel does not receive your uploaded file contents from our tools.

Cookies & local storage

We use essential storage for session tokens, guest IDs, and preferences. Advertising and analytics partners may set their own cookies as described above. You can clear browser storage and cookies at any time in your browser settings.
