Privacy Policy

1. Overview

24Tools is a collection of free browser-based tools for file conversion, compression, and editing. This Privacy Policy explains how we handle your information. The key point: your files are processed entirely in your browser and never uploaded to our servers.

2. Local File Processing

All file processing on 24Tools occurs locally in your web browser using JavaScript and WebAssembly. This means:

• Your files are never uploaded to any server
• File contents are never transmitted over the internet
• We have no ability to access, read, or store your files
• Processing happens entirely on your device using your browser's computing power

3. Data We Do NOT Collect

Through the use of our tools, we do not collect:

• File contents, names, or metadata from your processed files
• Personal information such as names, email addresses, or phone numbers
• Usage data about which files you process or how you use specific tools
• Location data, device identifiers, or browser fingerprints from tool usage

4. Cookies

24Tools uses cookies in the following categories:

Essential Cookies

We store your cookie consent preference and locale selection in localStorage. These are necessary for the site to function and are not shared with third parties.

Analytics Cookies

If you accept cookies, we may use Google Analytics to understand overall site traffic and usage patterns. This helps us improve our tools and user experience. Google Analytics collects anonymized data about page views and does not have access to your files.

Advertising Cookies

If you accept cookies, Google AdSense may set cookies to display relevant advertisements. These cookies are managed by Google and are subject to Google's privacy policy. You can decline advertising cookies through our cookie consent banner.

5. Google AdSense

24Tools uses Google AdSense to display advertisements, which helps keep our tools free. AdSense may use cookies and web beacons to serve ads based on your visits to this and other websites. You can opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google's Ads Settings. AdSense scripts are only loaded if you accept cookies through our consent banner.

6. Google Analytics

We may use Google Analytics to collect anonymized usage statistics such as page views, session duration, and general geographic region. This data helps us understand which tools are most useful and how to improve the site. Analytics scripts are only loaded if you accept cookies through our consent banner.

7. Your Rights

Since we do not collect personal data through our tools, there is typically no personal data to access, modify, or delete. You can clear your cookie consent preference by clearing your browser's localStorage. You can opt out of analytics and advertising cookies by declining them in our cookie consent banner or by using browser extensions that block tracking.

8. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated revision date. We encourage you to review this page periodically.
