Privacy policy

1. Who we are

PixiTools is a collection of small, browser-based utilities for working with images, PDFs, QR codes, text, and other formats. Throughout this policy, we refer to the website and tools collectively as "PixiTools", "we", or "our".

2. How your data is processed

The core PixiTools utilities are designed so that most processing happens directly in your browser. For example, when you compress a PDF, convert an image, or generate a QR code, those files are handled locally on your device and are not uploaded to our servers for processing.

However, like most websites, we may collect certain technical information automatically when you visit PixiTools, such as your IP address, browser type, operating system, approximate location, and pages visited. This data is typically collected through server logs, analytics tools, and advertising scripts and is used to keep the site secure, measure traffic, and improve the service.

3. Cookies and similar technologies

PixiTools uses cookies and similar technologies primarily for analytics, basic functionality, and advertising. Cookies are small text files stored on your device that help us remember your preferences and understand how you use the site.

You can control or delete cookies in your browser settings. Limiting cookies may affect some features, but most tools on PixiTools will continue to work because they run directly in your browser.

4. Advertising (Google AdSense)

PixiTools displays ads provided by Google AdSense in order to support the service and keep the tools free to use. Google and its partners may use cookies and other identifiers to show you relevant ads based on your visits to this and other websites.

Google may collect and process certain data as an independent controller, including cookie identifiers, device information, IP address, and information about the pages you view and actions you take. For more details on how Google uses data and how you can control your ad settings or opt out of personalized ads, please refer to Google's "Privacy & Terms" and ads settings pages.

Where required by law, we will ask for your consent before setting advertising cookies or using them for personalized ads.

5. Analytics

We may use privacy-focused analytics tools to understand how visitors use PixiTools—for example, which tools are most popular and which countries our users come from. Analytics data is generally aggregated and does not allow us to directly identify individual users.

6. Data retention

Temporary data created by the tools (such as in-browser file buffers) is typically kept only for the duration of your session in your own browser. Server logs and analytics data may be retained for a limited period as necessary for security, troubleshooting, measurement, and legal compliance.

7. Third-party links

PixiTools may link to third-party websites (for example, documentation, external resources, or ad destinations). We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of those external sites. We encourage you to review their privacy policies before providing any personal information.

8. Children's privacy

PixiTools is intended for general audiences and is not specifically directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us so we can delete it.

9. Your rights and choices

Depending on your location, you may have certain rights regarding your personal data, such as the right to access, correct, or delete personal information, or to object to or restrict certain types of processing. You can also manage cookies and advertising preferences through your browser settings and Google's ad settings.

10. Changes to this privacy policy

We may update this privacy policy from time to time to reflect changes in the tools, the technologies we use, or legal requirements. When we make changes, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
