Privacy Policy
Your privacy matters to us. Here's how Click Free Tools protects your data.
1. Introduction
Welcome to Click Free Tools. This Privacy Policy explains how we handle your information when you use our website and tools.
Important: We believe in privacy by design. Our tools are built to run entirely in your browser, meaning we never have access to your files, your data, or your personal information.
This policy applies to all tools and services offered at clickfreetools.com.
2. Data we collect
We collect absolutely no personal data. We do not collect:
- Names, email addresses, or contact information
- IP addresses or location data
- Browser fingerprints or device identifiers
- File content, file names, or any data you process with our tools
- Usage statistics or behavioral data
Why? Because our tools are designed to be client-side only. Everything happens in your browser. We don't have servers that receive or store your data.
3. Cookies and advertising
Essential Cookies

- Cookie consent preference — Stores your choice regarding advertising cookies.
Advertising (Adsterra)

You can manage your cookie preferences through:

4. Local storage
Our tools use your browser's localStorage to save non-identifying preferences:
- Tool settings: Your preferred configurations for various tools.
- Pinned items: Your selected favorites or pinned content.
- Cached data: Cached API responses to improve performance.
All this data stays on your device. We cannot access it. You can clear it anytime through your browser settings.

5. Third-party services
Some tools rely on third-party APIs to provide real-time data. No personal data is shared with these services.
- Public APIs: Used for data that enhances tool functionality. All requests are made anonymously.
- Client-side libraries: Used for PDF manipulation, image processing, and other core functionality. All code runs locally in your browser.
All requests to third-party APIs are made anonymously and do not include any personal or identifying information.
6. Data retention and deletion
Since we don't collect any personal data, there is no data to retain or delete. All data you generate while using our tools stays on your device in your browser's localStorage.
You are in full control: You can delete this data at any time by clearing your browser's localStorage (see instructions in Section 4).

8. Security measures

- X-Frame-Options: Prevents clickjacking and framing

All connections are HTTPS-encrypted to protect your data in transit.
9. Children's privacy
Our tools are not directed at children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect any personal information from children.
Since we don't collect any personal data at all, this policy applies equally to all users regardless of age.
