Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

At InstantTools (“we”, “our”, or “us”), we respect your privacy and are committed to protecting it through our compliance with this policy. This policy describes the types of information we may collect from you or that you may provide when you visit the website InstantTools.app (our “Website”) and our practices for collecting, using, maintaining, protecting, and disclosing that information.

2. Client-Side Processing Pledge

The core functionality of InstantTools is built upon a strict privacy-first architecture. All file processing (including PDF compression, image conversion, and data formatting) occurs entirely within your web browser.

• We do not upload your files to our servers.
• We do not retain copies of your documents, images, or inputted text.
• We do not inspect the content of the files you process.

3. Information We Collect

While we do not capture your files, we do collect certain analytical and operational data automatically when you navigate through and interact with our Website:

• Usage Details: Details of your visits to our Website, including traffic data, location data, logs, tool usage statistics (e.g., “Image Converter was used”), and other communication data.
• Device Information: Information about your computer, internet connection, IP address, operating system, and browser type.

Analytics events are consent-gated. We implement Google Consent Mode v2 with a deny-by-default posture. Analytics events — including page_view, tool_view, and vitals.* performance metrics — are only dispatched to our first-party /api/e beacon endpoint when you have explicitly granted analytics_storage consent via our cookie banner. If you have not yet made a choice, or if you selected “Reject All”, no analytics beacon fires. You can review or change your consent at any time via the “Cookie Preferences” link in the site footer.

4. Third-Party Services & Google AdSense

We use third-party advertisements (such as Google AdSense) to support our site. These advertisers may use technology such as cookies and web beacons when they advertise on our site, which will also send these advertisers information including your IP address, your ISP, the browser you used to visit our site, and in some cases, whether you have Flash installed.

Google, as a third-party vendor, uses cookies to serve ads on our site. Google’s use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to our users based on their visit to our sites and/or other sites on the Internet. Users may opt-out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings.
