Privacy Policy
Last updated: August 1, 2026
Welcome to ToolNest. Your privacy is important to us. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your information when you use our website and browser-based tools.
ToolNest is committed to offering a privacy-first utility experience. Where possible, PDFs and other files are processed directly in the browser, which means your content is not uploaded to our servers for routine document workflows.
1. File Processing
ToolNest provides browser-based PDF and file utilities. Files uploaded for processing (such as merging, splitting, rotating, compressing, or converting PDFs) are processed entirely within your web browser using client-side JavaScript.
- Your files are never uploaded to our servers.
- Your files are never stored by ToolNest.
- Processing happens locally on your device and is removed from memory when you close or refresh the page.
2. Information We Collect
We may collect limited information necessary to improve our website, including:
- Browser type
- Device information
- Operating system
- Pages visited
- Referral source
- Approximate geographic location (derived from IP address)
If you contact us, we collect the information you voluntarily provide, such as your name, email address, and message.
3. Cookies
We use cookies to:
- Remember your preferences (such as theme).
- Improve website performance.
- Measure traffic and usage statistics.
- Display advertisements where applicable.
You can disable cookies through your browser settings, although some website features may not function properly.
4. Advertising
ToolNest may display advertisements provided by third-party advertising partners, including Google AdSense.
Google uses cookies to display ads based on a user's previous visits to this website or other websites. Google's advertising cookies enable it and its partners to serve personalized advertisements.
We only use advertising partners that are aligned with a clear, user-facing privacy model. You may manage ad personalization settings through your browser preferences and through Google's Ads Settings.
5. Analytics
We may use analytics services such as Google Analytics to understand how visitors use our website, improve performance, and develop new features. Analytics data does not include the contents of files processed through our tools.
6. Data Security
Because files are processed locally in your browser, ToolNest does not store your uploaded documents. We implement reasonable security measures to protect the limited information we collect.
7. Third-Party Services
Our website may contain links to third-party websites or services, including advertisers, analytics tools, and support providers. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those services. Where applicable, third-party vendors may process limited usage data under their own privacy policies.
8. User Rights
If you have provided personal information through our contact form, you may request access to, correction of, or deletion of that information by contacting us using the details on our Contact page.
9. Children's Privacy
ToolNest is not intended for children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
10. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page along with a revised "Last updated" date.
