WEBTOPTOOLS

Privacy, in plain language

PDFs, images, videos, and text entered into the tools are processed in your browser. Tool files and text are not uploaded to our account server.

Accounts and favorites

When the account service is enabled, we store your email address, a salted password hash, and your selected favorite tool IDs on the site’s server. The service uses an HTTP-only session cookie to keep you signed in. You can delete your account and favorites from your dashboard.

Browser storage

Without an account, favorite tools are stored in this browser’s local storage. Clearing site data removes them. Generated outputs are held in browser memory until you leave the tool or close the tab.

External requests

The YouTube thumbnail tool loads thumbnail images from YouTube when you request them. YouTube can receive your IP address and normal request information. Following an external link subjects you to that destination’s policies.

Hosting

Your hosting provider may keep normal request logs. This website loads the Google AdSense advertising script. Requests to Google can include your IP address and normal browser request information. See Google Privacy Policy for details about Google data handling. Hosting and account data handling should be reviewed by the site owner before a public launch.

Frequently asked questions

A little clarity before you get started.

What account information is stored?

The account service stores your email, a salted password hash, and favorite tool IDs. An HTTP-only session cookie keeps you signed in.

Can I remove my account data?

Use the account deletion control in your dashboard to remove your account and its saved favorites. Browser-only favorites can be removed by clearing this site’s local storage.

Does using a tool contact another service?

YouTube thumbnail requests load images from YouTube. Other file tools process inputs locally. External links open destinations with their own privacy policies.
