Privacy Policy

ToolsGrid runs on a client-side architecture. Every tool on this website—including the ATS Resume Builder, PDF Editor, PDF Merger, Image Resizer, Base64 Encoder/Decoder, Markdown Converter, Signature Pad, and Password Generator—runs directly in your device's web browser.

ToolsGrid does not operate a database or server-side system that stores your tool inputs, uploaded files, or generated assets. We use standard third-party services for site analytics and advertising as outlined below.

When you drop a file into a tool or enter information into a form, processing takes place entirely within your device's temporary memory (RAM). When you close the browser tab or navigate away, that local memory is automatically released by your operating system. Because your files never reach our web server, we have no mechanism to view or keep them.

Distinction Between Tool Data and Site Metrics: While your working documents, image files, and text inputs are strictly processed client-side without uploading to our servers, ToolsGrid uses standard third-party services (Google Analytics and Google AdSense) to measure aggregate website traffic and serve advertisements, as detailed in Sections 2, 3, and 4 below.

Cookies are small text snippets stored on your device when you browse websites. ToolsGrid uses cookies and local browser storage strictly for legitimate operational purposes:

• Essential Local Preferences: Certain tools (such as the ATS Resume Builder) save your work in your browser's local storage (localStorage) so you don't lose progress if you accidentally refresh. This data stays on your machine and is never transmitted to us.
• Analytics Cookies: Used by Google Analytics to help us understand aggregate traffic trends and find broken pages.
• Advertising Cookies: Used by Google AdSense and third-party advertising partners to serve relevant ads.

Cookie Consent: ToolsGrid operates in full compliance with modern privacy standards. Non-essential cookies (including Google Analytics and third-party advertising cookies) are only set after the visitor explicitly clicks “Accept” on our on-screen cookie consent banner. If you decline, these cookies are denied and will not be stored. You can also block, clear, or manage cookies at any time through your browser's settings menu.

We may display ads served by Google AdSense and other third-party vendors in the future to keep all utilities on ToolsGrid completely free and pay for bandwidth, domain costs, and server hosting without requiring subscription fees.

Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on a user's prior visits to this and other websites across the Internet.

Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to our users based on their visits to our site and/or other sites on the Internet.

You can learn more about how Google handles user information by visiting How Google uses information from sites or apps that use our services.

We use Google Analytics 4 (Property ID: G-PNHJ07MF73) to measure anonymous traffic patterns. This helps us see which tools are popular, diagnose site performance issues, and spot mobile layout bugs.

Google Analytics gathers general information such as browser type, operating system, general location (country or city level), referring website, and page interaction timestamps. Google Analytics does not collect personal names, email addresses, or the content of any files you work on.

If you prefer not to share anonymous usage stats with Google Analytics across any website, you can install the official Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.

Whether you are located in the European Union, the United Kingdom, California, or anywhere else worldwide, we respect your privacy rights.

ToolsGrid is a general audience site intended for productivity and utility. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under the age of 13. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us immediately so we can remove it.

While the vast majority of utilities on ToolsGrid execute strictly client-side inside your browser's local memory, certain advanced tools offer optional artificial intelligence capabilities—such as the AI Document Quality & OCR Audit feature in the Image to PDF Converter.

Data sent to Google's Gemini API is governed by Google's Privacy Policy and the Google Cloud / Gemini API Terms of Service. Because data sent via this optional feature is processed by Google, we advise users not to run the AI audit on documents containing highly confidential, proprietary, or sensitive personal data.

If you have questions about this privacy policy, wish to exercise any privacy rights, or need clarification regarding how our client-side tools run under our Terms of Service, please reach out:
