Privacy Policy

👤 Who we are

ExperToolBox ("we", "us", "our") operates the website expertoolbox.com, a free collection of online tools including image converters, text utilities, calculators and generators.

For any privacy-related questions you can contact us at: privacy@expertoolbox.com

🔒 Data we do NOT collect

The vast majority of our tools process data exclusively in your browser using JavaScript. This means:

• Images you upload are never sent to any server
• Texts you type or paste are never stored
• Files you convert or compress stay on your device
• Passwords generated are never transmitted
• We do not require registration or login
• We do not store any user accounts or profiles

📊 Data we DO collect

Like most websites, we collect basic anonymous usage data through third-party services:

• Google Analytics: anonymous page views, time on site, browser type, country. No personally identifiable information.
• Google AdSense: if you see ads on our site, Google may use cookies to show relevant ads based on your browsing history. See Google's ad privacy policy at policies.google.com/privacy.
• Server logs: our hosting provider (Banahosting) may automatically log IP addresses and browser information for security purposes. These logs are not used for marketing.

🍪 Cookies

We use cookies only for the following purposes:

• Analytics cookies (Google Analytics): to understand how visitors use our site anonymously.
• Advertising cookies (Google AdSense): to show relevant advertisements. You can opt out at adssettings.google.com.
• Preference cookies: to remember your language preference (English/Spanish).

You can disable cookies at any time through your browser settings. Disabling cookies will not affect the functionality of our tools.

🌍 Third-party services

Some of our tools use external APIs to function:

• TinyURL API (URL Shortener tool): the URL you enter is sent to TinyURL's servers to generate a short link.
• QR Server API (QR Generator tool): the text you enter is sent to api.qrserver.com to generate the QR image.
• Hugging Face CDN (Remove Background tool): the AI model is downloaded from Hugging Face's servers. Your images are processed locally — they are NOT sent to Hugging Face.
• Google Fonts: font files are loaded from Google's CDN. Google may log this request.

⚖️ Legal basis (GDPR)

For users in the European Economic Area (EEA), we process data under the following legal bases:

• Legitimate interest: anonymous analytics to improve our service.
• Consent: advertising cookies (you can withdraw consent at any time).
• Contract: data necessary to provide the tool functionality you request.

🛡️ Your rights

Under GDPR and applicable privacy laws, you have the right to:

• Access the personal data we hold about you
• Request deletion of your personal data
• Object to processing of your data
• Request portability of your data
• Lodge a complaint with your national data protection authority

Since we collect minimal personal data, most of these rights can be exercised by clearing your browser cookies and cache. For any requests, contact privacy@expertoolbox.com.
