Privacy Policy

Overview

True Tool Deck ("we", "us", or "our") operates https://www.truetooldeck.com. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have. Our guiding principle is simple: your files, text, and images are processed entirely in your browser and are never uploaded to our servers.

Data You Process With Our Tools

Every tool on True Tool Deck (JSON formatting, image compression and conversion, diff checking, QR code generation, word counting, and others) runs 100% client-side using JavaScript in your browser. The content you paste, type, or upload into a tool is never transmitted to, stored on, or read by our servers. When you close the page, that data is gone unless your own browser retains it (for example, in local storage for preferences like theme).

Information We Collect Automatically

Like most websites, we may collect limited, aggregated information to understand how the site is used and to improve it:

• Usage analytics: pages visited, approximate location (country/region), device and browser type, and referral source. This data is aggregated and does not identify you personally.
• Local storage: we store your theme preference (light/dark) in your browser's local storage. This never leaves your device.
• Server logs: our hosting provider may log IP addresses and request metadata for security and operational purposes.

Cookies and Advertising

We may display advertising (such as Google AdSense) to keep our tools free. Third-party advertising partners may use cookies or similar technologies to serve ads, including personalized ads, based on your prior visits to this and other websites.

• Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads based on your visits to this site and/or other sites on the Internet.
• You may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings.
• You can also opt out of some third-party vendors' use of cookies for personalized advertising at www.aboutads.info.

Where required by law (such as in the EEA, UK, or California), we will request your consent before serving personalized ads and provide controls to manage your preferences.

How We Use Information

• To operate, maintain, and improve the site and its tools
• To understand which tools are most useful so we can prioritize improvements
• To detect and prevent abuse, fraud, or security issues
• To display advertising that supports the free availability of our tools

Data Sharing

We do not sell your personal information. We share limited data only with service providers that help us operate the site (hosting, analytics, and advertising partners as described above), or where required by law.

Your Rights

Depending on your location, you may have rights to access, correct, or delete personal data we hold about you, and to object to or restrict certain processing. Because we collect almost no personal data, in most cases there is nothing to delete — but you can contact us anytime with questions or requests.

Children's Privacy

True Tool Deck is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated "Last updated" date.
