Privacy Policy

Last updated: January 24, 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how tools4u.net (“we”, “us”, “our”) collects, uses, and protects information when you use our website and image tools.

1) Overview

tools4u.net provides image tools (resize, crop, compress, convert, rotate/flip, watermark, filters, metadata removal). Our goal is to provide these tools in a privacy-first way.

Images processed with our tools are intended to be processed locally in your browser. We do not require you to create an account to use the tools.

2) Image files and privacy

Local processing

Our image tools are designed to work in your browser. This means:

  • We do not require you to upload images to our servers to use the core tools.
  • We do not intentionally store your image files on our servers as part of tool functionality.

Your responsibility

You should not use the website to process or distribute:

  • illegal content,
  • content that violates privacy rights,
  • copyrighted content you do not have rights to use.

3) Information we may collect

We may collect limited information in the following cases:

A) Website usage data (analytics)

We may use analytics tools to understand website performance (for example: page views, country/region at a broad level, device type, browser type, and approximate traffic sources).
This data is generally collected in an aggregated form and used to improve site speed, usability, and tool quality.

B) Cookies and similar technologies

Cookies may be used for:

  • essential functionality (security, basic preferences),
  • analytics (if enabled),
  • advertising (if ads are displayed).

You can control cookies in your browser settings. Disabling cookies may affect some website functionality.

C) Contact messages

If you contact us, we may collect the information you provide (such as your name, email address, and message) to respond to your inquiry and provide support.

4) Advertising (Google AdSense and third-party ads)

We may display ads through third-party advertising partners such as Google AdSense.

These partners may use cookies or similar technologies to:

  • show ads,
  • measure ad performance,
  • personalize ads (where permitted by law and user consent).

EU/EEA/UK users (GDPR)

If you are located in the EU/EEA/UK, we may request consent before using non-essential cookies (including personalized advertising cookies), where required.

You can manage your consent choices via the cookie/consent controls shown on the site (if enabled).

5) How we use information

We use information to:

  • operate and maintain the website,
  • improve tools and user experience,
  • respond to support requests,
  • prevent abuse, fraud, or security issues,
  • comply with legal obligations.

6) Data sharing

We do not sell your personal information.

We may share limited data only:

  • with service providers that help run the website (hosting, analytics, email delivery),
  • with advertising partners (for ad delivery and reporting),
  • if required by law, legal process, or to protect rights and security.

7) Data retention

  • Contact messages may be retained as long as needed for support, security, and record-keeping.
  • Analytics data may be retained according to the settings of our analytics provider.
  • We do not intentionally retain uploaded image files because the tools are designed for local processing.

8) Security

We use reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect the website and any data we handle. However, no method of transmission or storage is 100% secure.

9) Children’s privacy

tools4u.net is not intended for children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children.

Depending on your location, you may have rights to:

  • withdraw consent (where processing is based on consent),
  • lodge a complaint with a data protection authority.
