1. Files you process
When you use tools such as Merge PDF, Split PDF, Rotate PDF, Compress Image, Images to PDF, ZIP Extractor, ZIP Create, ZIP Lock, or ZIP Unlock, your selected files are processed locally in your browser using client-side JavaScript or WebAssembly libraries.
Files may be temporarily held in your device memory while the tool is running. After you close or refresh the page, this temporary browser state is normally cleared by your browser.
2. What we do not collect
- We do not intentionally collect your file contents.
- We do not upload your files to our server for normal processing.
- We do not intentionally collect file names through analytics.
- We do not sell your files or personal information.
3. Analytics and cookies
We may use Google Analytics or similar privacy-conscious analytics to understand general usage, improve tools, and fix issues. Analytics may include events such as page view, tool view, file selected, process started, process success, process error, and download.
Analytics is configured to avoid sending file names, file paths, and file contents. We may collect non-content metadata such as tool name, file type, number of files, and approximate file-size bucket.
Your browser or third-party analytics provider may use cookies or similar technologies for measurement and security.
4. Third-party services
Our website may load third-party services such as Google Analytics, Google Fonts, CDN assets, or hosting infrastructure. These services may receive standard technical information such as IP address, browser type, device information, and page URL.
5. Sensitive files
Although our tools are browser-first, you should avoid using highly sensitive, confidential, legally restricted, or regulated files on any online website unless you are comfortable with the risk and have permission to process those files.
6. Children’s privacy
StudyFileTools is a general utility website. It is not designed to knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided personal information, contact us so we can review the issue.
7. Security
We use a browser-first design to reduce the need to transfer files to a server. However, no website, browser, or internet connection can be guaranteed to be completely secure. Always use trusted devices and updated browsers.
8. Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Updates will be posted on this page with a revised date.
