Privacy policy
Last updated November 9, 2026.
The short version
- Your files and text never leave your device. Every tool processes them inside your browser. We have no upload endpoint for them and keep no copies.
- No account. We count visits with cookie-free analytics and with Google Analytics, which can use cookies (see Analytics).
- Advertising may use cookies, and only with your consent where the law requires it (see below).
Your files, text and inputs
When you use a tool, your browser reads your file or text into its own memory and processes it with code that was downloaded with the page. Results are created on your device and saved through your browser’s normal download. We never receive the content you work with, so we cannot see, store, sell or lose it.
How to check this yourself: open a tool, then turn off your internet connection (or switch on flight mode) and use the tool: it keeps working, because nothing needs our servers. Or open your browser’s developer tools (F12), go to the Network tab and watch while you process a file: you will see no upload. Our automated tests check this for every tool before each release.
One optional exception is clearly labelled: the password strength checker can check a password against known data breaches if you tick that box. It then sends only the first 5 characters of the password’s SHA-1 hash to the Have I Been Pwned service, never the password itself, using a method called k-anonymity.
Data stored on your device
The site stores a few small preferences in your browser’s local storage: your colour theme, the tools you used recently (to show them first in search) and the unit system for calculators. They stay on your device, are never sent to us, and you can clear them by clearing site data in your browser.
Analytics
We count visits with our own statistics, which run on this site and are not shared with anyone. They use no cookies. For each visit we record: the pages opened and roughly how long they were in use, the site you came from, campaign tags in the link, your country and city as estimated by our network provider, the type of device, browser and operating system, which tools produced a result or an error and how long that took, and what you type into this site’s own tool search. To tell one visit from another we compute a code from your IP address and browser type that changes every day; the IP address itself is never stored, and the code cannot be linked from one day to the next. So that we can tell first visits from returning ones, your browser keeps the date of your first visit in its local storage; that date is never sent to us. What you type into a tool, your files and your results are never part of this. If your browser sends a “Do Not Track” or Global Privacy Control signal, we do not count your visit at all. Detailed records are deleted after 90 days and visit summaries after 400 days.
After a tool has worked for you, we may ask once how it went. Answering is optional. If you answer, we store your star rating, any comment you write, the tool and page, your country and your device type. Please do not put personal details in the comment. Feedback is read by our team only and is never published.
We load Google Tag Manager, a Google service that delivers measurement and advertising tags we configure. Those tags can set cookies and send data such as the pages you visit, your approximate location and your device to Google. In the EEA, the UK and Switzerland they start with consent denied until you agree in the consent message. Google’s policy: policies.google.com/privacy.
Advertising
Once approved, we show ads from Google AdSense, which helps keep Toolgix free. Google and its partners may use cookies or similar technologies to show and measure ads, and, with your permission where required, to personalise them. Visitors in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom and Switzerland are asked for consent through a Google-certified consent message, and you can change your choice at any time. Learn more in how Google uses information from sites that use its services, and manage ad personalisation in Google’s ad settings. Ads are never placed inside the tools and never receive your files or text.
Server logs and hosting
The website is served by Cloudflare. Like any web server, Cloudflare processes technical data such as IP addresses to deliver pages and protect against attacks, under Cloudflare’s privacy policy. These logs never contain your files, because files are never sent.
If you email us, we use your message and address only to reply, and delete correspondence we no longer need.
Children
Toolgix is a general-audience website and is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
Your rights
Because we do not collect personal data through the tools, there is usually nothing to access or delete. For questions about analytics, advertising or anything else, contact us at [email protected]. Depending on where you live (for example under the GDPR or CCPA), you have rights to access, correct and delete personal data and to object to its processing.
Changes
We will update this page if our practices change and show the date of the latest change at the top.
