1. Introduction

GoToolly provides free online tools that process files and text in your web browser. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect and how we handle your data when you visit our website and use our tools.

Our tools are designed to work locally in your browser without uploading your files to our servers. However, like most websites, we do collect some basic information about how visitors use our site.

2. Information We Do NOT Collect

Your Tool Data: Files you upload, text you enter, and content you process using our tools are handled entirely in your browser. This data is not sent to our servers, stored by us, or accessible to GoToolly.

Personal Information: We do not require registration, collect names, email addresses, or other personal details unless you contact us directly.

3. Information We MAY Collect

We may collect limited, standard website information to operate and improve our service:

  • Basic Usage Data: Pages visited, browser type, device type, and general location (country/region level)
  • Technical Logs: Server access logs, error reports, and security monitoring data
  • Cookies: Small data files that remember your preferences and enable website functionality

4. How Our Tools Work

All GoToolly tools process your files and text locally using JavaScript in your web browser. Your files are not uploaded to our servers. You can verify this by:

  • Using tools while disconnected from the internet
  • Checking your browser's network activity (developer tools)
  • Observing that processing happens instantly without upload delays

5. Cookies and Third-Party Services

We use cookies to remember your settings and enable basic website functionality. We may also use third-party services such as:

  • Analytics Services: To understand how visitors use our site and identify popular tools
  • Advertising Services: To display relevant ads that support our free service

These services may collect information according to their own privacy policies. You can disable cookies in your browser settings.

6. How We Use Information

We use the limited information we collect to:

  • Keep the website running and secure
  • Understand which tools are most useful to visitors
  • Identify and fix technical problems
  • Respond to support requests when contacted directly

7. Data Security

We use standard security practices to protect our website and any information we collect. However, no internet service is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security of data transmitted over the internet.

Since your tool data is processed locally in your browser and not sent to us, it remains under your control throughout the process.

8. Data Retention

Tool Data: Not stored by us (processed locally in your browser).

Website Data: Basic usage information and server logs are retained for operational purposes and deleted according to standard practices.

9. Your Choices

You can:

  • Disable cookies in your browser settings
  • Use browser privacy modes or ad blockers
  • Contact us about any privacy concerns

These choices may affect some website functionality but will not impact the core tool processing, which happens in your browser.

10. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy to reflect changes in our practices or legal requirements. Updates will be posted on this page with a new "Last updated" date. Continued use of our website after changes indicates acceptance of the updated policy.
