Privacy Policy for QuickTools

Last Updated: July 31, 2024

1. Introduction

Welcome to QuickTools ("we", "our", "us"). We are committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains our principles regarding the collection, use, and disclosure of information when you use our website (freequicktools.vercel.app).

Our core philosophy is privacy-by-design. The vast majority of our tools are "client-side," meaning all data processing happens directly in your web browser on your own device. Your files and data are never sent to or stored on our servers.

2. Information We Do Not Collect

For tools that operate on the client-side (such as the Image Compressor, File Converter, QR Code Generator, etc.), we do not collect, process, store, or have access to any files or data you upload or input. The entire process is contained within your browser.

3. AI-Powered Tools (e.g., Background Remover)

For specific AI-powered features like the "Image Background Remover", your image is sent to a secure, third-party AI processing service (Google Gemini) to perform the operation. We do not store your images, and they are used solely for the purpose of providing the service to you at that moment.

4. Information We Collect

We may collect a limited amount of non-personally identifiable information for analytics and website operation purposes:

Usage Data: We may use services like Vercel Analytics and Google Analytics to collect anonymous traffic data, such as the pages you visit, the duration of your visit, and the type of device and browser you are using. This data is aggregated and cannot be used to identify you personally. It helps us understand which tools are popular and how to improve our service.
Cookies: We may use cookies for basic website functionality and to assist with analytics. Cookies are small files stored on your device. You can instruct your browser to refuse all cookies or to indicate when a cookie is being sent.

5. Third-Party Services

We may use third-party services for advertising and analytics. These services have their own privacy policies.

Google AdSense: We may display ads from Google. Google may use cookies (such as the DoubleClick DART cookie) to serve ads based on your visit to our site and other sites on the Internet. You may opt out of the use of the DART cookie by visiting the Google ad and content network privacy policy.
Vercel Analytics: Our website is hosted on Vercel, which provides privacy-friendly analytics. Their data collection is anonymous and respects user privacy.

6. Data Security

Because our tools are client-side, the security of your data is in your hands and protected by your own browser's security environment. We do not transmit your personal files or inputs over the internet for processing. For the limited analytics data we collect, we rely on the security measures implemented by our trusted third-party providers (Vercel, Google).

7. Children's Privacy

Our Service does not address anyone under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from children under 13.

8. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page. You are advised to review this Privacy Policy periodically for any changes.
