2. What Data We Collect
2.1 Files You Process
When you use our tools (image converter, audio trimmer, PDF merger, etc.), your files are processed entirely within your browser using standard Web APIs. No file data is ever transmitted to our servers. We have no technical capability to receive, store, or access the files you process.
2.2 Usage Analytics
We may use Google Analytics or similar services to collect anonymised data about how visitors use the site, including:
- Pages visited and time spent on each page
- Which tools are most frequently opened
- Referring websites and search terms
- Browser type, operating system, and approximate geographic region (country/city level)
This data is aggregated and cannot be used to identify individual users.
2.3 Advertising Cookies (Google AdSense)
We display advertisements served by Google AdSense. Google and its partners use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this website and/or other websites. These cookies may collect:
- Your approximate location (based on IP address)

2.5 Account Data (Optional)
If you create an optional account, we collect your email address and a hashed password. We do not store payment information — all tool access is free.
